flyingrodent Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) Active collaborators, lol, away and dont talk pish, we were fecking football fans wanting our club to do well, just ordinary blokes in the street that have to work hard in order to pay for our weekly football fix yet here you are with claims we were collaborating in a massive gigantic fraud, aye 'laudible' right enough, what a looney tune. Of course we are blaming individuals, it was those individuals who planned this out and made millions out of it, the serious fraud office are correct to be going after these 'individuals', looks like you would prefer to have thousands of ordinary football fans locked up instead. Yes, of course you are. Sir Dave deliberately broke the rules on player registration for gain; Craig Whyte was a fraudster; Charles Green may have been up to no good, and on and on and on. And you know, any and all of these might be correct, but you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to spot that investigations into these matters are only supported insofar as they absolutely do not have any possibility of concluding that Rangers deliberately broke the rules on player registration for gain; that Rangers were involved in fraud, or that Rangers may have been up to no good. And maybe Rangers weren't involved in any of these schemes and frauds. Perhaps the old club/company was entirely composed of blushing innocents who were aghast to discover the crimes of this roster of super-villains, from the board of directors right down to the tea lady. But again, let's just note that your support for investigations into malfeasance at Rangers is utterly contingent on those investigations restricting themselves to the activities of only a few people, who can then be scapegoated for the entire debacle. There are strong similarities here with the current round of excuse-making for the team, which would obviously be storming the Championship right now but for the incompetence of one man, Mr Ally McCoist. Because that one man is the excuse for everything on the pitch, much like SDM, Whyte and Green are your excuse for everything else off it.

flyingrodent Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 This is nothing more than a rant mate, nobody is scapegoating anybody, individuals run companies, the companies customers expect those individuals to play by the rules, that is why the serious fraud office always go after individuals, it really is that simple. "Simple" is probably the word I'd use for this analysis, yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstoun Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 if those players had tuped over the only result would have been a restriction in their choice of club to join, and a bigger maison, and maybe an extra shirt for Chuckie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well who would you like to see punished then?, if fraud has been committed on a massive scale when Craig Whyte bought Rangers, are those responsible for that fraud 'scapegoats'? Not when they're being prosecuted for their own crimes, no. When they're being held accountable by tens of thousands of people for at least a decade of financial jiggery-pokery, sleazy stonewalling of official inquiries, deliberate rule-breaking, running up expensive successes on what turned out to be the public's credit card, and a general avalanche of lies, corruption, deceit and bad faith, then yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Once they have Whyte in for questioning, SDM's role as a star witness may well change once Craigy starts his Subo impression. If there is evidence of Murray being involved in this fraud then by all means we should hopefully see him charged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribzanelli Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't recall any Rangers fans back in the 9iar years congratulating the individual players and coaches about their achievements on the park. I do remember plenty of WATP, etc. It seems Rangers fans are happy for bad things to be assigned to individuals but the good things can be shared all around the 'Rangers family', fans included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
