Can't speak for Greggy, obviously, but I'm over it already - shit happens.

Hard to believe, I know...

I read an interview with Roger Waters, late of Pink Floyd, who declared himself one of the top five songwriters since the war - when asked who he thought would be in the top five beside him, he said John Lennon and, maybe, Freddie Mercury - praise indeed!

Surely one of the worst records in Queen's impressive back catalogue - much of that maudlin last minute stuff was just dreadful. Sorry.

Lies.

The £450,000 tax bill will be settled soon. The bigger tax bill is being contested - if the result of the hearings is that we have to pay it, then we'll have to pay it - or we'll be fucked. Unless we can convince two-thirds of the jury that they were 'loans', of course!

I'm asking The Rangers fans whether they honestly believe that these 'loans' were genuinely intended to be repaid - just answer that specific point, please - never mind the tribunal - when these 'loans' were agreed, do you honestly believe that they were expected to be repaid? Yes or no.

I look forward to them being recovered then - let's not hold our breath for that, though. Loans!

The entire idea of a loan is that they will be repaid at some point. Benfica have just scored, btw - YAS!

I'm a tax payer - answer the question, please.

Of course it's a fucking issue - either it's a 'loan' or it's not.

Bump.

Imagine you're Dado Pršo - are you really going to take a hit for cash you were told you would never have to repay - would you take the hit? Or would you drop Rangers in it?

Today's outcome could well make HMRC more determined to nail Hearts. (and other clubs) Does any The Rangers fan honestly believe that these 'loans' were ever intended to be repaid?

So you don't think the loanees will be questioned? I note that Billy Dodds isn't on Sportsound the night - maybe he's on the phone to his lawyer? If I was him I'd be shitting myself!

I heard him say that - I don't think it's a cut and dried as he suggests - people at HMRC will be angry - that ain't good.

When enquiries are made regarding the repayment of these 'loans', it will surely be established that these 'loans' were never intended to be repaid - which they weren't. When the individuals try to explain why they won't be repaying the 'loan', it could well become apparent that these 'loans' were nothing more than fraudulent attempts to avoid paying tax - once they've been established as fraudulent, it could then become a matter of tax evasion, rather than tax avoidance. Here's how it could go: HECTOR: "So, Doddsie - gonnae pay this loan back, mate?" DODDSIE: "Naw". H: "How no, likesay?" D: "I was telt I widnae have tae pay it back". H: "You were telt you widnae have tae pay a loan back? Whae telt ye that, like?" D: "Erm, Rangers...and my agent - they said it would be alright - they said they'd been daein it for ages". H: "ORLY?" Make no mistake, folks - this is tax fraud. Loans, my arse!

'Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?'

Your are welcome!

I'll be emailing Sportsound the nicht to find out when Billy Dodds intends to repay his 'loan'.

So when will the 'loans' be repaid? And who will get the money?

No - no, it doesn't. And they're still in SFL3.

Wonder if wee Doddsie will be on Sportsound the nicht?

What will happen when the people on the list are questioned about the money, and say "But Rangers telt us we wid never have tae pay that back?"
