    They've just been cited by a representative from HMRC as notorious examples of tax evasion <laugh>

    What infamy!

    Cossy -I believe Ken Dodd was acquitted of the charge of tax evasion in 1989 - by all accounts he had some £300,000 stashed in suitcases in his attic!

    However, apparently, Lester Piggot was convicted of tax fraud involving failing to declare earnings of some £3m. He was sentenced to be jailed for 3 years in 1987 and later stripped of his OBE.

    So 1-1 on the score involving HRMC V Dodd/Piggott - will it be an overall 2-1 to the taxmen when they 'play' Rangers? <whistle>

    2-0 to the tax man. Dodd was acquitted by the courts but I suspect the tax man didn't give too much of a ****. He still had to pay back every red cent that he evaded.

    I stand corrected! Then will it be a clean, 'triple', sweep when they take on Rangers?

    The whyte knight seems fairly confident but it looks like the are ****ed to me.

    The tax man can prove what he has to prove as far as it looks to me. I don't get what grounds there are for the confidence.

    The Rangers club have been cheating in Scotland for decades and decades.
    If there is ever to be justice in Scottish Football her majesty revenue collectors must win their case and the Judge must do what a Judge must do.
