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.

The day is getting closer when Chuckles will have to stump up his famous £10m for Sally’s superteam ,the bears are watching .
tick ,tock, tick, tock
better up the Andrex order chuckles .
Sounds like Chuckles is clearing out back room staff to cut wages!
Sandazas ‘trial’ should be just about finished, coincidence?
Maybe that was why he wanted rid of Murry!

WHAaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa
you poor deluded soul .
Hail hail
Does anyone know when the SPL board meet to discuss WNS’s commission findings as this rather than the ASA enquiry should be the focus of Football supporters in this country, if these findings are accepted football is finished in this country as it has been proven to be rigged.

He was given the chief scout title because of all the
dib ,dib, dob, dobbers he could spot
hail hail
So far it’s the youth coach, the physio and the laughably titled ‘Chief Scout’…who is next in the Slurry Park Soap Opera?
I was brought up to have a wee soft spot for Dunfermline. My dad said that he’d always liked visiting their stadium and of course there was the link between our clubs through Big Jock.
I remember their happy birthday banner on the final day of our centenary season.
However, their supporter’s behaviour on the day we could have won the league there 10 years later soiled my previous views.
Their habitual capitulation to the Huns did nothing to reverse my now negative mood towards them.
Nevertheless it’s difficult this morning not to feel sympathy for the ordinary men and women who follow them.
I’m off up to Glencoe for the weekend ,any bhoys up that way that could give me a weather report to put Mrs Fergus’s mind at rest .
She thinks we have to take the Huskies
hail hail
fergus slayed the blues
like it:)
what’s even funnier is that there must be some scouts under him; how bad are they?

Green suspends Ibrox super scout Neil Murray
Date: 29th March 2013 at 8:49 am
Written by: Joe McHugh | Comments (0)
Star spotter Neil Murray has been suspended by Charles Green as he undergoes a review of last summer’s transfer dealings at Ibrox.
According to a report in the Daily Record this morning Murray was suspended 11 days ago and is angry that no charges of misconduct have been raised while he remains on gardening leave.
Murray, a former team-mate of Ally McCoist, was working as a players agent before moving to Ibrox and is believed to have identified players such as Anestis Argyriou, Sebastian Faure, Emilson Crinari and Kevin Kyle as key signings for the journey through the lower leagues to Champions League glory.
With Murray suspended assistant manager Kenny McDowall has headed up a scouting mission to Honduras to identify players willing to play in the lower reaches of Scottish football.
According to the Record McCoist is backing Murray which could put him on a collision course with Green who suspended the star spotter.
An Ibrox insider told the Record: “This situation is incredibly sensitive. Some very damaging allegations have been made but so far not substantiated and Neil is confused, outraged and distraught.
“He knows if he had been guilty of anything inappropriate then he would have been dismissed, quite rightly, without his feet having touched the ground but he’s still sat at home sweating on his future.
“Ally has also been placed in a very difficult position. At this point there is no way of knowing how it will play out but it seems, if nothing else, Charles has lost confidence in the manager’s chief scout.”
another wee update for the few on here who love the boys in blue
A FORMER top cop slammed over the Hillsborough disaster is to get off scot-free, it was revealed yesterday.
Police watchdogs said no action can be taken against ex-chief constable Sir Norman Bettison because he has quit the force – with an estimated £1million pension pot.
Families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died claimed last night they had been “conned out of justice” and called for Bettison, 57, to be stripped of his knighthood.
omg …….another high ranking police officer and employed to serve the public

At least the ‘Chief Scout’s’ time will not be wasted at home as he continues his in-depth research playing ‘FIFA 12’ on the X-Box:
‘Right whit about these Hondurans… that Izzy whits his name is no bad…’
foy croppie
As I said the time is fast approaching when the bears will want chuckles to deliver on his 10m superteam ,could this be him placing HIS men into the roles that deal with such a large budget .
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
hail hail
sorry

I can’t wait to see Jabba ‘running’ on with the bucket of water and the magic sponge. No problem with the scouting the Daily Record will continue to do that for them or ‘Dutch expert’ Calderwood will be drafted in to swoop for the next big thing.

‘So far it’s the youth coach, the physio and the laughably titled ‘Chief Scout’…who is next in the Slurry Park Soap Opera?’
You forgot Sandaza, who may still get the chop.
A Big Happy Good Friday from a bright and sunny East Kilbride
ernie lynch
Forgot him cheers. The decks are being cleared Ernie. Cue some hysterical tales from Chic Young et al. I’ll need to make sure I have a first aid kit handy to deal with my splitting sides.
Twa on Good Friday morning,
All in the month of May,
A German Ship was signalling,
Beyond out in the Bay,
We had twenty thousand rifles
All ready for to land,
But no answering signal did come
From the lonely Banna Strand.
“No signal answers from the shore”,
Sir Roger sadly said,
“No comrades here to meet me,
Alas, they must be dead,
But I must do my duty
And at once I mean to land”,
So in a small boat rowed ashore
On the lovely Banna Strand.
Now the R.I.C. were hunting
For Sir Roger high and low,
They found him in McKenna’s fort;
Said they: “You are our foe”,
Said he: “I’m Roger Casement,
I came to my native land,
I mean to free my countrymen
On the lonely Banna Strand.
They took Sir Roger prisoner,
And sailed for London town,
And in the Tower they laid him,
A traitor to the Crown;
Said he “I am no traitor”,
But his trial he had to stand,
For bringing German rifles
To the lonely Banna Strand.
‘Twas in an English prison
That they led him to his death,
“I’m dying for my country”
He said with his last breath,
They buried him in British soil
Far from his native land,
And the wild waves sing his requiem
On the lonely Banna Strand.
They took Sir Roger home again
In the year of ’65,
And with his comrades of ’16
In peace and tranquil lies,
His last fond wish, it is fulfilled
For to lie in his native land,
And the waves will roll in peace again on the lonely Bana Strand.

I couldn’t care less about Dunfermline. Hope they go under!!!
Deserve everything they get after being Rangers puppet team in early 2000′s helping cheat us out of a league title!!!
MWD
I agree the scum who ran the club i couldnt care a jot about, hope Masterton and crew end up were justice should see them be, in jail.
However like others i do feel sympathy for the fans who have put a fair chunk of their lives towards supporting the club, people who have ran supporters clubs and buses, ran charity events in the local community they did not deserve the likes of Masterton
My point was aimed at the footballing authorities who will and still do bend over backwards for Sevco and without Irony tell us no special favours, Mr Longmuir has a neck a blowtorch couldnt mark
PS see you on the 6th FAC

One of my very favourites ……..!!!!!!!!
“Star spotter” whit?
No wonder they’re haemorrhaging money. All those highly paid players and staff, and they’ve gone and employed somebody to study Uranus.
Who will they be employing next. Somebody to taste the pies? Oh wait……

Credit to Longmuir he basically stated his family (he) are Sevco fans and he would be doing all to help them or else.
Honest at least!

With around £5m pledged for stadium work the chances Ally or whoever is in charge getting any money to buy players is zilch.
The wage bill will become the war chest and they need to raise income to get that to £10m on a sustainable basis.

The decks do seem to be getting cleared, but for what reason? …..interesting, and entertaining…….
The more you struggle in the quicksand, the more it pulls you under….
Chick Young for kitman!!
from the sun, the campaign continues apace (see last sentence)
SCOTTISH football was in meltdown last night — as SPL2 edged closer.
On a crazy day of claim and counter-claim, SFL chief David Longmuir first insisted member clubs had been convinced to delay reconstruction for a year.
But within hours the SPL announced they intend to try to steamroller change through this summer.
That would see the controversial 12-12-18 set-up in place for the start of NEXT season.
It’s understood several First Division clubs agree with SPL sides that the time for change is now.
Timing And they fear delays could see any reconstruction deal off the table by next summer.
SunSport can reveal they made their concerns known to the SPL immediately after a five-hour SFL meeting at Hampden broke up.
SFL chief executive Longmuir had emerged from the talks to insist: “The key issue is timing. We feel we can deliver the changes, just not quite in time for next season.
“I don’t think a year is a lot to ask for to get everyone together. The clubs are fully supportive of this and sent out an important message today.”
Longmuir admitted he had held a further informal meeting with concerned First Division clubs but claimed: “I am comfortable that what I’m presenting will have their support.”
But that appears unlikely, with SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster insisting: “We’ve spent months negotiating the detail of the deal which was announced on January 8.
“There is no attempt to rush anything, but we have a window of opportunity and we will be going forward on April 15 with documents that reflect the deal that was done for implementation this summer.”
That is set to lead to chaos for the immediate future of the game.
The SPL announced yesterday they will kick off next season on August 3.
They are budgeting on having a mandate for change from their meeting a fortnight on Monday — and suspect SFL clubs won’t be able to reach an agreement on what’s best for THEIR future.
That would allow the SPL to cherry-pick clubs for a 12-team second tier league — which would see Rangers invited into the second-top division and potentially offer crisis club Dunfermline a lifeline.
67Heaven … I am Neil Lennon..!!.. Ibrox belongs to the creditors
wee Chic was alluding to it last week that ‘things’ are afoot. He has this disease rife in Scottish journalism that seems to rail against his primary function: ‘I know something but I’m not saying…’
Chuckles will be bringing in new people to deliver the super club. Lots of fun awaits :)

No time for them. Hope the die!!! Please take Hearts Killie & Motherwell too

Morning All, just read the Herald’s headline article. So all gate receipt gloom is down to Ragers “administration” and all gate receipt success is down to the same (!) Ragers valiant battles in the bottom league. The MSM really do want it both ways.
Meanwhile I’m getting Celtic withdrawal symptoms. Can’t wait for Sunday.
Chuckles has a wealth of talent who would kid on they would crawl over broken glass to work at Ibrox.
Memo to Green: Please give jobs to Billy Dodds, Jimmy Calderwood, BFSDJ, Chic Young, Gordon Dalziel, Craig Burley, Mark Hateley…the list goes on.
In saying that most of them work there already.
Ole chuckles actually wants rid ofTFPLG.but wee Sally wont go..so Challs picking off those around the ear whisperer hoping it enrages Sally into walking away..no?
Tries to get rid of the Chairman. Fails
Tries to terminate Sandaza’s contract. Fails
Puts Chief Scout on gardening leave pending ‘enquiry’
Physio sacked.
Stadium manager next.
Is Chuckles trying to desperately cut costs without telling ‘ra bears’ they are on the brink of financial meltdown??
Come on Charles, gives us one of your 5pm specials!!
