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.

You’re right, but the added irony is that Sevco people, the ones with a vested interest, need numpties to keep shouting that Sevco are Rangers and need to keep gasping in horror when anyone has the temerity to say in public that the new club is a new club.
If everyone just kept quiet, more and more Rangers fans would drift away and give up on Sevco.

I am able to ignore them and their antics during the course of a game and therefore able to focus my attention what’s happening on the park. Does that preclude me from making comment of them on sevecowatch. I have been able to follow Celtic for 48years without having to resort to the adulation of a group of youths to enhance my enjoyment.
With regards Celtic ‘establishing’area 111.It’s my opinion that privately the custodians of the club now deeply regret allowing a group of so called supporters to populate a designated area .
Jon Daly ready to move to sevco?? Good job am no his father!!!!

He wanted to be. The devil’s advocate recognised they were meant to be together.
The most the ASA can do is stop them suggesting anything about them having more than 1yr of history.
Meant to say in future advertising.

SFA – fail
SPL -fail
Hodge – fail
LNS – fail
UEFA – fail
HMRC- fail
MSM – fail
We’re scraping the barrel if we are now depending on the advertising standards agency to tell it like it is.

Al Capone got done for tax evasion! :-) Keep the faith!
We all need to keep telling the truth in the face of the Sevco charade? What’s the alternative?
When we tell the truth, we are denounced as bampots. When creditors of Rangers get time on the radio to tell the truth and bodies like the ASA get involved, it’s far harder to dodge the important points we are making.
Jude-He could see some easy cash from the stupid huns.
March 2013-topic on SSB-An Irish Catholic “possibly” signing for the huns,”the fabric of Scottish society” Salmond.

The guy was good btw. Said he wanted D J but went in great detail abt the money he’s owed and didnt take to kindly to fat jaws shouting 140 history a few times. I think he said he will come back again to confront fatso 5 jobs!!
Big useless piece of —–e
One month on from Lord Nimmo-Smith and we are still waiting for any sort of reaction from Neil Doncaster.
Not that he has just been avoiding the issue. He has plenty of higher-priority things to attend to. This is just one of the recent press releases from the SPL.

Daly must be a very ambitious player hoping to sign for a Third division club. Perhaps his dream is to play on every pitch in Scotland and one in England!

Scab.
Jude – some BBC staff are on strike – maybe that?
Platini saying that goal line technology is “too expensive at £46m” for the Champions League. How much money does UEFA make from this competition?
He also says he is sticking with the goal line assistants as they have been a good idea.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Platini is as big a muppet as Sepp Blatter.

If you think about it, the only live and kicking legitimate target for a Celtic shareholder (or group thereof) to pursue for fiscal damages is the SFA.
As Auldheid keeps reminding us (thankfully), Rangers should not have been granted a UEFA license for at least one season.
Dont know if anybody is up for it?..

Ok ta.
On revisiting the selective average age posting earlier, it occurs to me that Tony Watts average age was only 9 when he scored the winner against Barcelona.

Jude.
Just listened to the call.
The man was very calm and articulate.
I wish that he had been able to make his point directly to BFDJ.
He would have shown him up for what he is.
