Well let me re-phrase what Mr Avenger should have put



A story solely about Rangers that only concerns Rangers, yet posted on the Scottish Premier Board with the tag Celtic. Why the obsession with all things Rangers?

Mr Duke...

Duke, Of course the BBC is belittling the dire situation that Rangers are in.
They only mentioned the bare minimum and left out the dire consequences that Rangers really face.
They also didn't make any attempt to explain how Rangers benefited by this wide spread tax evasion.
Remember this Is the the "establishment club" adored and cherished by all important members of the majority population.
The fans sing "God save the Queen" every time they are within earshot of Celtic supporters. The least you would expect is the club to pay the queen her taxes.

THEY MENTION 54 MILLION

The bare minumum is ZERO though they dont mention this.

Seriously this is where things beggar belief when you interpret this in such a way.

They dont explain how Rangers benifited....

Come on they didnt pay as much tax as HMRC think they should so perhps they assume those reading haveat least 1 brain cell.

As I said none of this matters as what will be will be.

But try and read whats put in front of you without agenda.

"I think you failed to notice the BBC as usual painted the most optimist picture it could for Rangers.
This is an attempt to gloss over the real desperate straits Rangers are in."

Yes, that's because the BBC are all Rangers fans.

Paranoia is the only word for it. An article that spells out in the simplest terms possible the facts of the case and the reality of the situation, and you're still saying that some sort of cover-up or gloss is being put on things.

If it's a cover-up then given that this has been all over the BBC website for weeks and months, and every twist and turn has been reported and re-reported, along with non-stop speculation on the possible outcomes, I'd say this was the worst cover-up in history, wouldn't you?

And if it's positive spin you're complaining about, how do you explain the fact that everybody, includng the BBC, seems to think Rangers are absolutely gassed?

"Remember this Is the the "establishment club" adored and cherished by all important members of the majority population."

Can you name me an "important" Rangers fan? A major decision-maker, for example?

How about the Head of Sport at BBC Scotland? Nope. Sportsound anchorman? Nope. Senior producer? Nope (my brother, Utd fan). Commissioning editor? Doesn't even like football, had to learn on the job.

How about politics? First minister maybe? Hearts fan actually.

SFA then, they're bound to be Rangers fans. Chief Exec? Not even Scottish. National manager? Craig Levein. The opposite of a Rangers fan if ever there was one. head of development? Dutch.

SPL then. Chairman Ralph Topping? Hibs fan. Neil Doncaster? Cricket fan from England. And the rest of the board represent Celtic, Motherwell and St Johnstone.

So come on mate, let's hear it. Where are all these "important" Rangers fans that have so much influence on our country and our national sport?

I refuse to answer your query as you referred to me as your mate.
Trying to imply friendship or relationship between yourself and myself is certainly something I wouldn't contemplate.
My reputation is something I won't allow to be destroyed.
