Sir David Murray, Campbell Ogilvie, Dave King, as directors of a football club, you presided over tax evasion. While ordinary men and women have no choice, or criminal urge, to avoid paying for public services, you directed a deception on an industrial scale.
Sir David Murray and Campbell Ogilvie have their influence and signatures all over this act. The SFA was quick to discipline and sine die Craig Whyte after he was out of the game, it must now charge Murray and Ogilvie with bringing the game into disrepute. The stale influence of cronyism at Hampden must be routed and seen to be so.
The SPFL instructed an inquiry three years ago but with this verdict in, the SFA must appoint their own inquiry.
Why did the processes at Hampden allow this to happen and continue without check?
Why did Rangers get their European licence in 2011 despite being in arrears to HMRC, in contravention of that licence? Who was responsible for this decision?
Why was a director and signatory of Rangers illegal tax schemes elected and reappointed president of the SFA?
How transparent were the SFA and the SPL in their handling of these tax evasion charges?
Was the SPL inquiry commissioned to uncover the facts, or to meet a desired objective? Who prepared the inquiry remit and who signed off on that remit?
Lord Nimmo Smith found that legally executed Employee Benefit Trusts did not confer a significant sporting advantage. In light of what I have already read of the verdict, we must now discover if such widespread illegal Employee Benefit Trusts conferred a sporting advantage. This question has not been asked yet.
It’s time for football to shake off the shackles of corruption in Scotland, as elsewhere.

Wonder what happened to Third Lanark’s history. Is it in a vault somewhere waiting on a holding company?
Twitter cracker
@Terry_Stinson: @ClydeSSB Please explain why Ronny Delia has advantage as biggest budget in spl, but Rangers didn’t by topping up budget with tax avoidance?
CORKCELT, 9:29
Somehow I don’t think Hector will be the reason King can’t buy Oldco to “put the new Club issue to bed”
QPR sack Chris Ramsey………. Warbiola and his magic hat on their list?
TT .. My advice .. Phone Citizens Advice.
They can phone an agents number to get through .. Phoning yourself, would probably cost you more on your phone bill than what you owe tax.
3-0 Hibees .. Right Royal Pumping .. Puts out 5-1 into perspective ..

Toffeetim –
Your employer cannot deduct tax from the car as such, so the tax is then ultimately paid by you. Were your employer to have instead given you cash to buy the car that you didn’t need they would have had to deduct tax and, if they failed to do so, HMRC would have went to them for it.
I think ;-)
Dena29…..hope your having a braw day. ..wit aa day for a birthday. …got a cyber hug aff ye a whilst back..
have a braw big hug back. ..
Braw
O.G. LOL ,Probably a myriad of reasons why he can’t buy OldCo but I reckon today’s judgement means no one can buy them ever.
Awe_Naw, you just get thicker and thicker glasses until you get big eyes googly eyes.
I’m still not blind yet.
The ole leprosy is clearing up nicely.

Read the post above from Diego Sideburns, I woke to a legal eagle type buddy today he reckoned the chances of an appeal are slim to none..

Doc,
I am starting to check my pillow every morning

CORKCELT, 9:41 PM
He couldn’t afford to buy Newco, he can’t afford to buy Oldco.
CashLightCSC
Out=Our ..
Obviously!
I’m glad Hibs are finding form .. The more successful and longer they go unbeaten, will sow seeds of doubt in deidco ..
Lend then Tony Stokes in January!!
The dosh they earn in the semis will make them more financially stable ..
Unlike ?
Take no pleasure in seeing DU capitulating BTW
Awe_Naw, it’s not leprosy of course, it’s age:-)
Tell all the Huns you know,
They cheated and now the world knows:-)

That’d finish thems.
Hope it happens.
THE BATTERED BUNNET on 4TH NOVEMBER 2015 1:52 PM
I vividly remember the day, it was November, dreary, chilly, damp. Occassional rain.
We had sent the kids up the stairs, and the pair of us – my Wife and I – listened to what the Counter-Terrorism Officers had to tell us.
There were 3 main risks, they said: Attack at home; Devices in the mail; and Harm when out.
It was all a little surreal, what with Mail handling, the School run, checking under the car. The house would be sureveilled they said, the local Station appraised, Fast Response notified, but in the end, it was all about common sense, they said. Just use common sense.
Surreal that is until the Wife caught my eye and the reality dawned on us. I was a target. We were targets. Our kids were targets.
This same conversation played out in half a dozen other homes that week that I’m aware of, doubtless more besides, different folk, same message.
I’d like to express my personal thanks to those who made it all possible, particularly David, Jack and the lads. Well played.

Folks need some help here.
Bought two bottles of beer today, only as tasters not my limit :-), but just wondering should I serve Anchor Steam chilled or at room temperature. Read about this beer several times and looking forward to tasting it so don’t want to spoil it. The other beer is called Long Hammer so same question.
Sorry to bring the demon drink onto such an abstemious forum.

It was a toss up between that and “it’s nice to see rangers finally get a penalty they deserved” B-)
-like that one Bro
HH
Owen .. If anyone retorts to that seriously ..
They need to get out more than you :)
Thanks Dena.
Should you not be in your bed or is it a late boat tomorrow?
Neustadt-Braw on 4th November 2015 9:39 pm
To-day has certainly been a birthday to remember
HH
Dena, but you’ll be enjoying it all the same:-)
I hope the authorities do the right thing.
I hope Celtic drive a bus, with Res. 12 aboard, right through the SFA.
I’m not sure I expect it, but I am pleased the world knows they are cheats.
For tonight that’ll do.
The rest can wait.
Stripping of titles, trophies and setting the record straight should now be a priority for the SFA of course, but hey, they’re Huns too, so external pressure will have to be applied.
I get out regularly, unfortunately they keep recatching me.
20 hours till The Bhoys come out to play.
Can’t wait!
Wins for us (particularly if it’s by at least 2 goals) and Ajax would leave the Group too close to call ;-)
Dena
Can you sort him out offline ? 8-))
OWEN on 4TH NOVEMBER 2015 10:01 PM
Thanks Dena.
Should you not be in your bed or is it a late boat tomorrow?

Hope you had a great birthday, also celebrated by most football fans everywhere
Onto today’s matters … Unfair advantage ? Is that not their right ?
As a former HMRC worker for a life term I find it quite ironic that Their Majesty has decided her people owe her, her taxes
Hail Hail fellow Celtic fans and good night, am quietly confident Ronny will get us 2ts behind Molde tomorrow night and then it’s game.on……
blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on 4th November 2015 10:04 pm –
Believe me we’ve been trying for years ……..
joking…….:-))
Goodnight Timland one more sleep before we see the famous Glasgow Celtic
excited
HH
Yea
Got two bottles of beer :-D
Something else happened but for the life of me can’t remember what it was.
Anyway enjoy tomorrow, miss the European nights. A side effect of getting old I suppose. The days of the Anton Rogan CSC and Dena’s electric handbag seem a long time ago.
SDM
For every £5 Celtic spend they will be able to afford it….
Tommie20, I’m off to London tomorrow, not likely to even see the game, so give the Bhoys a cheer for me.
