    Who is Angela Haggerty when she's at home? Anyway the pointless point scoring thread exists for a reason.

    Others listed include not only Scotzine editor Andy Muirhead, but also BBC Employees Jim Spence, Mark Daly and Chris McLaughlin. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster is listed alongside Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, Scottish FA chief Stewart Regan and Raith Rovers chairman Turnbull Hutton.
    Channel Four journalist Alex Thomson, who was heavily involved in covering the Rangers financial demise is also on the death list, alongside Celtic Foundation CEO Anthony Hamilton. There are places for former Rangers owners Sir David Murray and Craig Whyte, former Rangers chief executive Martin Bain and First Minister Alex Salmond.

    The Vanguard Bears have a history of such behaviour, alongside sectarian and bigoted commentary and their latest disgusting and depraved act seems to have back fired somewhat as fans across the divide have condemned the supporters group via their official twitter feed. Not that they care going by the replies to their detractors.

    Sounds as if they mean business.

    Difficult to keep you updated. I had a thread on its own, since major figures in Celtic, the manager and CEO are on the list, but it was moved for some sinister perhaps reason.

    Death threats in public to me are not pointless or point scoring. They are serious matters, but unfortunately for some this is not the case. They perceive it as pointless and move it there.

    Disgraceful.

    Angela Haggerty is a very brave woman who decided to fight against serious death threats and abuse. So much so that the editor of her newspaper, Simon Houston chose to give in to the threats saying " I have a young family"

    Angela was the person who decided to serialise Phil's book. He has an interesting article up on it.

    The behaviour of some people who follow SEVCO is extremely disconcerting if not very worrying. Why do MSM not take this up and publicise it?


    Oh yeah, I remember the NUJ told us that 52 journalists through the UK, not just Scotland had been threatened.

    They must consider these threats serious, as did the police and anti terror squad when they provided protection 24/7 for QC Gary Allen.

    Maybe now we know why LNS batted on the title stripping decision, by saying on page 42 that he had to treat the EBT payments as legal due to the FTT outcome, but if the UTT or Supreme Court reversed this decision the payments became illegal and title stripping would have to be revisited by the Scottish football authorities.

    Social media sites are in general pointless so it does belong here.

    If you really are so concerned write to the CPS or the Police your not going to get action from us we are the epitome of pointless!

    That is the whole thread, not this issue, which as you know fine well deserves a thread on its own, or do you consider death threats on public media to be trivial and just stick them in the POINTLESS thread.

    A shameful and disgraceful decision.

    Let's hope nothing comes of this list.


    Maybe VB put it up BECAUSE SOMEONE DEMANDED TO KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.

    Police Scotland and Gar Allen QC and the anti terror squad didn't think that death threats were pointless.

    Maybe you should ask Neil Lennon if from his experiences death threats are pointless. Royal Mail might also be able to help you in this context.

    You should be ashamed of yourself, trivialising this matter.

    You might feel differently if your face was up there mate.

    Pathetic excuse.

    The more issues like this are publicised, the more people aware of it the better.
    Stop trying to cover up your pathetic decision to hide this issue.

    BTW POLICE SCOTLAND WERE MADE AWARE OF IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

    DID YOU NOT READ ABOUT IT, OR SEE HEAR ABOUT IT, OR SEE IT IN THE SCOTTISH MEDIA.

    YEAH TWBFR

    Threats against the Celtic manager and CEO clearly shouldn't be dumped in here.

    Well let's hope that this does not happen otherwise POLICE SCOTLAND Might be kicking your door at three in the morning.


    You shouldn't trivialise death threats. Not given the events of the last few years in Scotland.
