It should be noted that the Rangers International Football Club plc has engaged Capita Registrars to provide company secretarial services for its group. The Annual Return for Rangers Football Club Limited was completed and filed by Capita Registrars in accordance with their normal procedures. Companies House have confirmed to the Company that they have accepted and filed the Annual Return for Rangers Football Club Limited and have not raised any queries in relation to it. The BBC reported that Companies House were to contact Rangers’ subsidiary SEVCO Scotland Ltd over an incomplete report and also confirm if a second Annual Return would need to be filed. However, Rangers’ lawyers have been informed by Companies House today that Companies House do not normally make public comments or issue official statements to the press in the manner reported by the BBC. Companies House also pointed out they have no record on file of a conversation regarding Rangers Football Club Limited and its Annual Return last week. Indeed, it was confirmed by Companies House to Rangers' lawyers that the Annual Return has been accepted for filing and that Companies House had not contacted and did not expect to be contacting the Company in relation to the Annual Return. Once again the BBC have been inaccurate in their reporting of Rangers and this latest example of their unsubstantiated coverage comes hard on the heels of one of their presenters describing Rangers as the ‘old club.’ This despite the BBC Trust’s ruling in June which stated clearly that BBC Scotland’s journalists should not use the terms old and new in relation to the Club. Many Rangers fans believe there are those within the BBC determined to damage this Club and inaccurate, shoddy reporting which ignores their own Trust’s guidelines does nothing to dispel the notion that some journalists are unwilling to accept this Club is on the road to full recovery.

Passive intonation. You suggest that the view you're expressing (or alluding to) is actually a prevailing view of those you represent. Therefore absolving you of any responsibility of holding that view whilst displaying to those who believe you're speaking for them that you hold the same view - the inference is in the eye of the reader. It's the same type of things when a politician apologises "I apologise if anyone took offence" rather than "I apologise for causing offence" - this is known as the "non-apology apology". If you're being critical, it's basically what Jim Spence did as well
You should be ashamed. A FOOTBALL fan was fined yesterday for calling a Celtic star “Fenian scum” and posting The Billy Boys song on Facebook. Apprentice stonemason Jamie Love, 20, was convicted of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards midfielder Kris Commons. His comments disgusted people who reported him to the police, Stirling Sheriff Court heard. Depute fiscal Kim McGregor said the song incited “religious prejudice against Catholic people”. And she added: “I would submit that the lyrics ‘Up to our knees in Fenian blood, Surrender or you’ll die’ could initiate violence against the Catholic community. “The accused’s Facebook profile was accessible to all who searched for him and was in the public domain and he had no control over who could directly see it.” Love put the words on to his social network page in the lead-up to football matches in August and September 2011. Ms McGregor said: “The accused said it was meant as banter with his mates but conceded the comments were made completely out of stupidity. As he admitted to posting the sectarian remarks he knew they would be threatening and abusive. “We heard from witnesses who said they found the remarks disgusting.” Love, of St Ninians, Stirling, was found guilty after trial of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by posting the comments. Defence agent Virgil Crawford said that his client’s comments had no real chance of causing fear or alarm and they would do little more than upset people. However, Sheriff Mark Thorley disagreed and fined Love £250. He said: “I accept this was on one view a matter of stupidity.”
I am going to continue using expat sheild to watch iplayer and when it asks, if I pay my license i will continue to say "yes", even though I don't. That will teach the dirty bastards. Wacky, I know, but that is how I roll, muthafuckas.
