The worst of it is that Rangers fans can now convince themselves that their club is innocent of all charges (whether legal or moral) and are therefore validated in their belief that they're superior to everyone else.
I'm private rented and the Council don't deal with social housing over here.
Is this the first double Mindy?
I'm sorry, I'm not as familiar with the Northern Irish welfare state as you are.
History is being rewritten as we speak, EBT's are perfectly okay because they are only tax avoidance and not tax evasion, therefore not at all to be condemned. Rangers did not owe £21m to HMRC, they did not lose the Wee Tax Case and David Murray and his sons' EBT's have not been referred back for further investigation.
Apparently this is how they react in victory, can you imagine if they had lost.
Absolutely unrealI have often compared the Rangers boardroom battles to the television series Dallas. I used to be a big fan of the original long-running soap and one of the most bizarre developments in television history happened with Dallas i.e. the death of Bobby Ewing and a subsequent series of story lines following this. Older readers will remember that this season was written off as a dream sequence after Bobby Ewing was re-cast an walked out of a shower.
This is more than a little like what it has been to be a Rangers supporter the past couple of years.
After the Big Tax Case decision the other day, it means that the events of the past few years have all been so unnecessary. Because of a heady cocktail of incompetence, spite and bigotry, Rangers were persecuted beyond any acceptable bounds – all in the name of sporting integrity. As a result, RFC had to become a completely different club, not as an entity but in composition. The best players had to leave and what was left was a shell, a greatly weakened shadow of the once-mighty institution. Those of us who are aware of the conspiracy behind all this know that this was the agenda all along. Rangers had to be hirpled, weakened and thrown into the bottom tier as part of the deal.
After the Bobby Ewing shower scene, Dallas lost a great deal of credibility. And after the last couple of years, many in Scottish football and public life have lost credibility because they let their masks slip to reveal anti-Rangers hatred and bigotry. Where is the credibility of the now laughable Mark Daly mockumentary on Rangers’ tax case? Where is the credibility of self-appointed Rangers “experts” like RTC blog and Phil Mac Downfall? Where is the credibility of all the journos who lambasted and denigrated Rangers as cheaters? Where is the credibility of certain club chairmen who gleefully put the boot in when Rangers FC was at its lowest ebb? Where is the credibility of the Scottish Government which turned a blind eye to the plight of Scotland’s most successful team in history?
I could go on but the list of people and organisations who queued up to kick a wounded Rangers would fill volumes. The point is, Rangers club and fans have had to live a surreal existence the past couple of years – all down to the bigoted and bloodthirsty persecution of the club’s haters. Unlike Dallas, Rangers fans have had to endure more than one season of pointlessness. Thankfully, though, the dream sequence is over. The nightmare has ended. Bobby Ewing has stepped out of the shower. The bad news for Rangers haters is that the history of Scotland’s biggest and most successful club goes on after a very surreal detour. We are coming down the road. The days of tainted titles will soon be over.
