bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 On second thoughts, they sent out lawyers letters to Chris Graham and a few others I think so I stand corrected that they should do the same with this cunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Let us all hope this rather weak statement is only a diversion with the main attack coming via legal action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I actually agree that was a weal statement and I thin we should've not only named him, but listed the potential libel laws he's broken. Maybe then the country's law makers, or whoever the fuck they think they are would set about law breakers that take things to the limit in this so called liberal shite hole country.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Think I preferred the dignified silence approach, rather than "Gonnae leave us alone" approach. The statement is ridiculous and weak.Actually I'm the same come to think on it Expected something a lot more powerful from a man like Wallace Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ 743 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I agree it is weak. But at least its a baby step towards the right direction.The biggest club in Scotland responds to bad boy comments from an online blog - a step in the right direction? Just naw!

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 a mistake to respond to this lunaticwish they would spell "focused" rightYou can actually spell focused with a double 's' as well, so it is correct. It is especially used in UK English and Canada too. One 's' is more common in US English. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsons Dog 9,878 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thought that it was a weak statement.Yep - the should have referred to him as a murdering bastard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFox 245 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The club obviously felt it needed a statement regardless of who the blogger is,as rumours(shit) like that must affect our share value.Maybe that`s the aim.I`m quite annoyed that our club cannot come up with a legal way to stop guys like him and others from under-mining the club and the share value.Time injunctions or legal threats were issued.

Monkey Man 91 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Why "these allegations are totally inaccurate" and not these allegations are totally without foundation?Pretty weak statement to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCapone 7,678 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think that though it is good they released this statement, it is very weak.Good god thought you wete actually going to praise the board there,..... Silly me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedart1952 1,349 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not a strong enough statement for me, we should make an example of this clown and hammer him for trying to damage the brand, any other business would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The club is on a hiding to nothing here, if they say nothing they are told that a "dignified silence" does not work .... if they comment they are told that "we shouldn't give credence" to idiots like ill-Phil.Personally I also find the statement bit weak, the club have been quick to send out lawyers letters and could easily have threatened similar.

Dennis 1,011 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 How about this?Rangers FC have once again read the comments of the mentally ill bigot with disbelief. We have allowed this to go on for so long in the hope this diseased ridden piece of bile would either die or come to his senses. Unfortunately, he's still alive and spreading lies about our club. It's with great delight, we fully intend to sue this mentally ill dirtbag and ensure he does the honourable thing and kills himself or loses everything he owns when he pays us for libel.This is straight out the martin bain book of statements.

Kaiser Wull 203 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can you go after someone for libel if they are living and posting from another nation? Does it not get a bit messy?Genuinely don't know, but might explain why there is no legal action.Yes, provided that the remark is broadcast or communicated in 'your' country. That's because the 'harm' (in the legal sense of the word) occurs not when the statement is made but when it is communicated to another person or persons, and a statement broadcast on using the internet will be received not only in the country where it is made but also in any country in which someone receives that statement - e.g. by reading a blog or a post on a forum, facebook, twitter etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was broadcast on the web though. What jurisdiction does a UK court have one foreign country?If someone was to blog something in Iran that we didnt like, we could hardly just force the Iranian government to prosecute one of their own citizens for something they did in their own country.

Monkey Man 91 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nit picking over the wording is pretty pathetic tbh even if you find it weak, they're saying it's not trueIt is lightweight and not as emphatic or forceful as it could have have been. If the club are going to bother challenging that scumbag's lies then get wired in to him.You think I'm being pretty pathetic? Fine. The day your opinion matters to me there will be be two blue moons and flocks of flying pigs in the sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
