I hear the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have written to complainants confirming they are investigating adverts run by Rangers International Football Club plc, in which they claim to be Scotland’s most successful football club. You and I know that’s not the case, Celtic are Scotland’s most successful football club, followed at a distance by Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts, Hibs, Queens Park, Motherwell, Kilmarnock……. and ultimately East Fife.
The confusion has perhaps arisen following the demise of The Rangers Football Club plc, who laid claim to 54 Scottish titles before their failure to pay creditors ultimately led to liquidation. Rangers International Football Club plc have traded for less than a year and would be pushed to justify their claim in the face of Celtic’s magnificent domestic and European history. They cannot, of course, claim to be a now liquidated company.
The Advertising Standards Authority will write to both the advertiser and advert broadcaster asking them to submit evidence in support of their claim. The ASA will then send a recommendation to the ASA Council for adjudication.
In the event the advertiser accepts the complaint and agrees to change future advertising claims the ASA will write to complainers to confirm the matter has been resolved.
Celtic’s claim is simple, we are the champions of Scotland, winners of more leagues and cups than anyone else still kicking a ball in Britain, Northern Europe’s first European Champions and we observe all football, tax and civil laws.

Glasgow Bus Driver – apparently he got lost in Kelvingrove Park
=================================================
Either that bus is stunted or that geezer is 7ft tall.
So, the SFL have asked the SFA to postpone the restructuring….. The SFA’s reaction will be interesting
EN & Greeninbingley
I have to disagree with the view that, if we stop talking about them, the problem will go away or be solved somewhat.
My obsession is on shining a light on the terms of the 5 way agreement and I am not bothered whether Sevco fans or msm go on in any delusional belief. I would expect no more from them and I have no wish to interfere with their delusions.
However, if we stop talking about them and stop shining the light on the administrators of our national game, then all that will happen is that we will believe they are dead whilst they will believe their history is unbroken. However, the official record and the media spin and the law (via LNS report and HMRC statement), currently are proclaiming that Sevco fans are right. Eventually, our belief that they are dead will be placed back into the “paranoid” box and we will get ridiculed for going on about it.
I do not want the game to be administered in a way where secret deals are made, which appear to turn long standing business law on its head, and that the details of the agreement and the regulations governing them cannot be disclosed to other member clubs nor to the ordinary football fan who sustains the game. In what other sport are there secret rules and regulations of which no-one is aware?
It is not just Sevco fans and the Laptop Loyal who have told us there are 140 unbroken years; we have also heard Regan and Doncaster carefully promote that viewpoint without being specific in their wording. Neither has said that Rangers are unequivocally a direct continuation for 140 years but they have both phrased their responses to suggest that they will not disagree with anyone who says it is so. Lord Nimmo Smith, with no apparent axe to grind, has reiterated that view. I, therefore, cannot blame Radio Clyde pundits or your average Sevco fan, if indeed those are two separate groups, for believing Rangers still lives. I may find them lacking in an inquisitive streak and a bit lazy in research but I cannot prove that they are factually wrong because the RULING IS A SECRET.
I don’t want to trade opinions with the fan of Sevco; I demand that the administrators of our sport make an unequivocal ruling. I also feel that my club should be more active in querying what the terms of the 5 way agreement are, if indeed they do not already know, and also demand that football fans, who provide their income, need to know these facts also.
I want an official ruling, publicly announced with rationale explained.
Sevco winning the 3rd Div. title will not clarify it for me. The official SFA and SFL record books will record them as winners of that league. Neither of them will claim that it is the club’s 55th title because the 3rd division cannot be added to the 54 top division titles won by the former club. We will not know for sure, what the official record says, until such time as Sevco win a LC, SC, or SPL title race.
Unfortunately, by the time they are fit to do that, I and many others will have walked away from this Kafkaesque game.

Feegie park …. home of the feegs…. stay well clear mate
I doubt if I will be on this site for the next week,so I would like to remember three brave men,who put themselves forward to protect their neighbours from the continual brutality of a despot landlord.
On the 2nd April 1878 these brave men brought forward the end of landlord ism in Fanad Donegal.
If anyone is in Fanad on Easter Monday,why don’t you join us in the Commeration at Kindrum at 3.00.All welcome.
Neil Shiels,Michael Heraghty and Michael McElwee,We salute you.

and he’ll be ready for his Exodus
This will end up with nit picking
Thanks for your concern Lhads

Exactly! We don’t even know if the fine imposed by LNS to oldco has to be paid by newco. I’m guessing no, otherwise Charlie would have been moaning about the unfairness about it and McCoist would have been bleating about “more” “punishments”.
Hello just out from my two hour bath and I have a serious question that I would want everyone to think seriously about before answering.
Is the Irish Cream from that fine deli Liddl’s better than eh.. whatsit?
