Advertising Standards Authority step into Scottish football

669
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    Fanad Patriot,

     

    This may be of interest to you.

    The Banks of Mulroy Bay

     

     

    On the second day of April, it’s well I mind the date,

     

    On the morning of that fateful day in 1878,

     

    When this great Earl of Leitrim – the tyrant I should say,

     

    Left his home in Manorvaughan on the banks of Mulroy Bay.

     

    The landlord gave strict orders, when leaving home that day,

     

    That evictions they should then take place, without undue delay,

     

    His bailiffs they should get to work, as you may understand,

     

    And banish us poor people from out our native land.

     

    The morning it was gentle and the birds did sweetly sing,

     

    And `neath the woods of Cratlagh, they made the valleys ring,

     

    When Leitrim and his party were driving at full trot,

     

    And entering into Cratlagh Wood they got a fearful shock.

     

    The coachman named Buchanan, a lad from Milford town,

     

    He was blown from the dickie, and left sprawling on the ground,

     

    May the Lord have mercy on his soul, poor boy he suffered sore,

     

    Till death did end his sufferings on the banks of Mulroy shore.

     

    John Makim then, the tyrant’s clerk, a lad so strong and stout,

     

    He too received some slugs of lead, which made him reel about,

     

    He shouts aloud unto Kincaid as on the ground he lay,

     

    ”I’m shot, I’m shot, dear Willie”, on the banks of Mulroy Bay.

     

    The great exterminator; the Lord of this estate,

     

    For him there was an inch of lead – too hard to masticate.

     

    His body it lay lifeless on the road, I heard them say,

     

    To feed the dogs and hungry crows on the banks of Mulroy Bay.

     

    The Shooting of Lord Leitrim

     

    Rejoice ye men of Leitrim,

     

    No longer mourn the fate

     

    That held you in serfdom

     

    On a villain’s broad estate.

     

    The iron hand that bound you

     

    In slavery’s hated chain

     

    Shall never seize your earnings

     

    Nor menace you again.

     

    No more that tyrant Landlord

     

    Shall rack rent and oppress;

     

    No more increase your misery

     

    Nor add to your distress.

     

    The curses of his victims

     

    Have fallen on his head,

     

    And the avenger’s hand has sent him

     

    To number with the dead.

     

    Lord Leitrim was a noble man,

     

    He owned a vast estate

     

    And he ruled like a despot

     

    And earned the people’s hate

     

    One hundred thousand acres

     

    Were subject to his sway;

     

    And he kept his suffering tenants

     

    In terror and dismay.

     

    The widow’s prayers he laughed at;

     

    The orphans’ tears despised.

     

    He rooted up their homesteads

     

    And in poverty they died.

     

    He trampled on their sacred rights

     

    That earned their sweated toil,

     

    And he banished them in hundreds

     

    From Tirconaill’s holy soil.

     

    In Galway, as in Leitrim,

     

    His tyranny was felt,

     

    From both these western counties

     

    He exterminates himself.

     

    The Donegal evictions

     

    In history mark a place,

     

    But it was here in Donegal they ended

     

    That hoary sinner’s race.

     

    It was on the road to Milford

     

    The armed avengers stood,

     

    And they wiped out the injuries of years

     

    In that vile evictor’s blood.

     

    Who dares to say that’s wrong,

     

    For they rid the land of Leitrim

     

    Who burdened it too long.

     

    Rejoice ye men of Leitrim,

     

    Galway and Donegal,

     

    For that tyrant’s blood was shed

     

    In vengeance for you all.

     

    You suffered from his tyranny,

     

    You feared his dread command,

     

    You had to pay increased rents and do his will

     

    Or be banished from his lands.

     

    So no more that dreadful mandate

     

    Will issue forth from him

     

    He has paid the price of tyranny

     

    As he lived, he died, in sin.

     

    And the widow’s ruined cottage,

     

    Near Cranford marks the spot,

     

    Where Leitrim fell a bleeding corpse

     

    Before a Fanad shot.

     

    Here’s to the men who did that deed,

     

    May their names be never known,

     

    Only to that band of brothers

     

    Who claim them as their own.

     

    In Donegal and Leitrim,

     

    Let Irishmen proclaim,

     

    And will you now please pray for those

     

    Who ended that tyrant’s reign.

    Not sure I get it. Scottish hunnery is a thing of the past because their vanguard flag has been plowed asunder.

     

    Does anyone have a flag?

    Nobody will be lifted.

     

    It was a sneaky act by a bunch of want to be nazi’s, but they’re only interested in soft targets, next week will go smoothly but of course make sure someone’s got your back when travelling to CP and you’ll be fine.

     

    This corruption/ orange order has a lot to answer for.

    Shall we demand Botany Bay?

     

    Or would it be an easier passage home from Earl’s Court?

     

     

    I’ve a big, two-handed, cast-iron frying pan that settles all arguments. It has so far settled none. But I’m dying to try it out in that role.

    Still don’t see the association between Sweden and the treatment of the indiginous of Australia.

     

    You put it in your own words so explain in your own words.

     

     

    Mining uranium ore and nuclear testing in Australia are about 1,000 miles and thirty years apart. The one affected mainly white conscripts, the other … well I’m sure you have the script ready and learned to pat on that one.

  40. Margaret McGill on

    I think the Celtic bored should be careful about getting involved in something gimmicky and

     

    superficial like the new look 10 10 18 Scottish league.

  42. Margaret McGill on

    I’ve always felt that the future of Scotland would be well served by the SNP.

     

    Especially the new Dutch SNP emanating out of Mid lothian under the guidance of Peter de Vink.

     

    Indy de Vink of SNP Mid lothian fame after voting in favour of closing all the councils public

     

    toilets to save £85k was caught pissing in the public car park after the 5 hour vote.

     

    If only all the SNP councillors practicesd what they peed.
