Lock up game’s tax deviants

887

The football industry is busy with its twice-a-year transfer jamboree this week but there will scarcely be a player, manager or executive in the country who isn’t daily checking on Harry Redknapp’s on-going court case into his alleged tax arrangements.

Harry, of course, is one of the game’s popular figures, everyone likes him, including me, but his evidence yesterday, that he’s been told “The problem with you is you’re named Harry and you have a cockney accent”, will have the nation pondering if he’s another victim of the systemic prejudice against white, wealthy, indigenous-named, senior and successful people from London.  There must surely be a support group he can join.

I’m sure Harry’s innocence will be established but the law and tax authorities are right to pursue any doubt that exists in the running of the game, without fear or favour.  Where appropriate, pursue the guilty through criminal, not just civil, courts.  Only then will the innocent be sure of a level playing field. Lock ‘Em Up, as a Cockney may observe.

  5. I read in the Polish media the Scottish jounalists spoke to Dariusz Dziekanowski about Jaroslaw Fojut.

     

    What did he say?

     

    Aye. He told them that Fojut must grab the chance to become a hero in Glasgow.

    Lost count of the amount of times we’ve walked up

     

    Prospecthill Rd together to our second home.

     

    Let’s get a bus on Sunday.

  8. ‘Zacchaeus was a tax collector who got rich by making others pay lots of taxes’

     

     

    Luke 19.

     

     

    What I would give for the taxman to be called Zak!!!!!!!

     

     

    Of course Zacchaeus saw the light

     

     

    ‘Zacchaeus turned to Jesus and said, “Look, Lord. Here and now, I promise to give half of my money to the poor. If I have cheated anyone in taxes, I will pay them back four times that amount.”

    Good morning from an absolutely drookit Gold Coast.

     

     

    Another night of non-stop rain and lots oflocalised flooding.

     

     

    A right good Scottish summer.

     

     

    If Jelavic didn’t train today, couldn’t that simply mean he’s in talks with another club, rather than him being “on strike”?

     

     

    Or am I missing something?

  10. “own playing. scored goal that won the league for celtic”

     

     

    Kevin Hughes is Nakamura. That was a fantastic freekick by the way;-)

    Thanks for uploading. A couple of very nice passes near the start of each half, the second one has a familiar look to it against the huns (just missing the finishing touch).

  12. johann murdoch on

    Evening Ladies and Gentlemen

     

     

    Need a wee bit of advice, I had to get one of my hard disks replaced (I know, I should really give up the tantric stuff at my age)… they were in a RAID configuration before, but I just want to make them two separate hard drives now. Anybody know how? I’ve been told I need to do somethin in the BIOS – sounds faintly illegal.

    At your age you’ll get a discount.

     

    BTW An armchair on the 90 bus is quite a common occurrence.

    BIOS=BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEMS

     

     

    When you boot up you get an option up to press F12 (usually only for a few seconds) click this and it’ll take you into your BIOS.

     

     

    Once in be carefully what you change but everything is normally pretty self explanatory once your in there. Don’t save anything though unless your sure what your doing and what it is you want to do.

     

     

    You’ll find guides on the net for your particular PC’s BIOS to help guide you through it.
