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.

Do you think they should stick with the deep and meaningful SPL?
Look. Painting your face green then hiding your ugly mutt with a green and white scarf that has Man Utd printed in it somewhere and singing “fenians are we” while guttered on the ferry tae Stranraer is no basis for being a Celtic supporter. IMHO.

I always loved the fact that Jackie Mcnamara was bought fae Dunfermline likesy as an attacking right wing back in 1995 and handed the left back captaincy by the Blessed Martin in 2001 and kept the lack of a left back Celtic legend going till izzaguirre got injured 10 years later. Quite a feet. Then we awe luvved him as he became manager of Dundee Utd ken and Dunfermline went intae administration. Whats no tae like..sorry be appalled..sorry wonder..sorry ..give up the ghost? SPL dontcha luv it?
MM still don’t see what Sweden has to do with it the treatment of Australian Aboriginals.
MM are you one of these people who is very radical about what is happening in other countries? Do you adopt the same position at home?
Are you fashionable, armchairly, left wing?
For me charity begins at home.
If you’re alluding to the sterilisations of the 1920’s to the 1960’s, that was commonplace everywhere.
Forced adoptions were not the order of the day in Sweden. In fact such a concept never took hold in Sweden.

Sorry. Not responsible for the conceptual difficulties of stupid cnts. Anyone else?
That’s fine MM.
Name calling? Cursing? Devoid of content.
No need to say sorry.
See you next Tuesday?

Apologies. The history of Australia is ugly. Get a grip.
MM I’ve been looking closely at the history of the Garngad.
My particular interest is renaming.
Consder this;
“It is said Father Lawton made Garngad and Garngad made Father Lawton. Garngad was awash with talented people, all they needed was direction and a leader and they found that in Father Edward Lawton. A great motivator he believed that a healthy body created a healthy mind and so began his work with the children. He turned a small plot off Millburn Street into a football pitch, opened a social centre, club and dance hall. In 1926 he bought a piece of land at Provenmill and created St.Roch’s Junior Football club, he believed that the boy’s guild team needed a stepladder to senior football. He talked big names in showbiz into doing charity shows for him with the sole purpose of getting St.Roch’s on the map. He even managed to secure the services of the Prince of Wales to officially open the church hall in 1933. A familiar site, with his shillelagh under his arm, tapping mischievous boys on the shoulder or knocking their heads together. He convinced schoolteachers to involve the kids in plays and after school classes. His service to the church and charity work won him promotion to Canon.
He only ever lost one battle in his life and it hurt him, the changing of the name from Garngad to Royston.”
N.B. – In 1942 when the men were absent and the women worked to the bone.
Fr Lawton knew the history of the Garngad. I’d like to read his diaries.
I’m away to listen to spotify.
BRING BACK THE MOONHOWLERS!
Not so long ago,people were choking over their cornflakes on a Friday morning.
Now,gone………
Burned brightly,but briefly. Hopefully,we can return to the days of the casual and gratuitous insult,swatted aside like a troublesome tic,and sprayed with some venom.
At least it kept us on our toes of an evening!
As a one time moon howler I thought the debate on the Pip-Quip was terribly tame.
Surely, as a man of medicine, treating the injured of Ibrox, his moniker must be;
Proddies in Pain.
BMCUW I’m sorry if your toes are troubling you. Just buy better shoes.

Can’t remember an Easter Weekend like this, driving down the M40 mid afternoon yesterday and the traffic was light, expected the Bank Holiday weekend hoardes to be on the move.
Liked Paul’s lead, kudos to the bhoys who complained, although I expect usual fudge, you know it’s not Coventry we are dealing wih here.
Hail! Hail! The Celts are here….. they’re the finest Team in Scotland I hope ASA agree…

No 5 way agreement
No by passing of football licensing rules
No MSM campaign to have them saved
only one club gets special attention with the football rulebook ripped up

Good Friday morning to you all….
I sometimes wish I could go back a year just to sing one more time loud and clear
“we’re havin a party when ranjurs die
Jelly ‘n ice cream when ranjurs die

tail on the donkey when ranjurs die”

Those ‘dealings’ have been happening since June 2011 when a certain individual became a manager.
What a perfect way to get rid of someone without having to pay any compensation eh?
Got news from my young Nephew who went to New Zealand on 18th March for initial 10 months.
Got him the Hoops to take on his journey. He has already found 2 Teams to play with and thanks to the Hoops I gave him they have gone Celtic daft and started the Christchurch CSC. As his Mother said to me, he has got his priorities right and sod the work…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
I’m referring to the manager in my above post by the way. Not the chief scout.

Chief scout …. given the talent he has found for the most successful club this year….. nah…. must be a mistook
theweegreenman
Just received at tx from a mate in glasgow. In scottish papers that neil murray (ex zombie player) has been suspended from role as chief scout because chuckles aint too happy about some of last summers transfer deals.

Seem to recall a young Dunfermline player ( jason Dair,I think) scored a 25 yrd screamer at Ibrokes to make it 1-1 .He automatically threw his arms up in celebration only to put them down seconds later ,I thought at the time that it looked more like a Oh s**t what have I done moment . I think it was a very muted celebration of such a great goal I have seen ,although my memory ain’t too good anymore ,so apologies if I my memories playing tricks on me .
I tried finding the goal on You tube but had no luck .
That’s why I was most interested when JC let slip that DM had placed him in the Dunfermline job .
This is only my opinion from what I remember ,does anyone else remember it like that
fergus …..
Ah young Dair ,he had a famous football player as an uncle ……went by the name of Baxter !!!!!!
You may be right !

Ten Men
Hmmmmmmm
If SFA are strict in their interpretation of licensing rules and cannot grant one to Dunfermline for next season in the absence of suitably audited accounts, how will they treat The Rangers?
I know, I know, its rhetorical
I’m just amazed they had someone called a chief scout…Kevin Kyle touted himself to them on ‘Off the Ball’ and days later was signed.
