GARRY Faulds, boyfriend of Laura Colquhoun, threatened the 53-year-old victim with a blowtorch to make him reveal bank details. Facebook Laura Colquhoun in model pose A TEENAGE glamour model and her thug boyfriend are facing jail for trying to blackmail an amateur photographer. Laura Colquhoun, 17, and Garry Faulds, 21, bound and assaulted their victim in his own home. They threatened to tell his bosses at a council he had been photographing underage girls. He has never been charged with any such offence. The victim photographed Colquhoun several times and told the jury she had performed a sex act on him. He was beaten, bound and threatened with a blowtorch by a masked thug who invaded his home. And last night, the intruder and his teenage model girlfriend were facing years behind bars for the brutal extortion plot. The victim told a High Court jury: “When I walked into the hall there was a guy in a balaclava with the eyes cut out. He was wearing a blue jumpsuit. Facebook Laura Colquhoun and Garry Faulds “He tried to overpower me. I fell backwards. “I was screaming ‘Help!’ I was shouting as loudly as I could.” The victim said he was struck repeatedly and his arms, legs and mouth were bound with gaffer tape. The masked man then threatened him with the torch to force him to reveal his bank details. The 53-year-old victim was a senior council employee – and, at the time of the attack, a keen amateur glamour photographer. For more than a year, he had been enjoying photo sessions with Laura Colquhoun, a 17-year-old aspiring model, at his Edinburgh home. He told the court he paid her £150 per session, and she regularly performed a sex act on him. But the payments were not enough for Colquhoun or her scar-faced boyfriend Garry Faulds, 21. They decided they could make far more from brutality and blackmail. And when Colquhoun returned to the victim’s home on August 23 last year, she took Faulds with him. He was dressed in a boiler suit and balaclava mask. Colquhoun got him into the house, and prosecutors said they punched the victim to the ground, bound him and dragged him into another room. Faulds poses in online photo with a banner for a notorious Rangers hooligan gang Faulds used the threat of the blowtorch to terrify the man into revealing passwords to his computers and bank accounts. And he and Colquhoun told him they would destroy his reputation if he did not obey their commands. Faulds, a member of an Orange flute band, told the victim he was a member of the Loyalist UDA, who could cause him serious harm. And he threatened to tell the man’s employers that he had been taking illegal photos of underage girls. The court heard that the victim has never been charged with any such offences. Faulds tried in vain to log on to the victim’s online bank account, then forced him to call his bank to try to get a new access code so the account could be unlocked. The attempt failed. The vicim claimed he had a gun held to his head during the phone call. He told the court: “It looked real enough. It didn’t look like a toy.” But the jury found there was not enough evidence to support the claim that a firearm was used, and deleted the allegation from the charge. Facebook Colquhoun in model pose with boyfriend Garry Faulds The man claimed that Faulds also sat for a time in silence, “presumably just to frighten me”. He added: “I must say it was quite effective.” He also recalled that Faulds called him “a vile man”. Faulds and Colquhoun used the victim’s stolen bank card and PIN number to withdraw £100 from a cash machine. They also robbed him of approximately £800 in cash, photographic equipment, a set of keys, a Royal Bank of Scotland smart card and smart card reader. At one point, the court heard, Colquhoun spoke to Faulds while he was wearing the mask, asking him: “What are we going to do now, Garry?” A few days after the attack, the victim went to his employers and told them what had happened. Police were called, and Faulds and Colquhoun were quickly arrested. They both denied robbing, assaulting and threatening to extort cash from the victim. Neither gave evidence. The jury of nine women and six men took two hours and 40 minutes to find both accused guilty. Colquhoun wept, shook and sucked her thumb as prosecutor David Taylor told the court she had no previous convictions. The court heard that Faulds has a record for minor offences. Temporary judge Paul Arthurson QC deferred sentence on both accused for reports. He told them: “You have been convicted of a serious offence which will almost inevitably result in prison sentences.” Faulds, a prisoner at Low Moss jail near Bishopbriggs, was remanded in custody to await sentence. Colquhoun was granted bail. Both will return to court on April 4 to learn their fate.

toxic all over it, came from there. http://billmcmurdo.wordpress.com/blog-2/

Kicking Tyres Dave King’s latest intervention in Rangers’ affairs is as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. His call for fans to boycott the club in terms of buying season tickets – and his ridiculous idea to drip-feed monies to the club – is a blatant attempt to destabilise Rangers. King’s statement is a smoke and mirrors job for me and the club has had to shoot down in flames a newspaper’s assertion that the South African-based businessman had offered a £1 million loan interest free to Rangers. It could be reasonably argued that if Dave King does intend to invest in Rangers, his latest pronouncements have a good chance of driving the share price down. A cynical ploy it could be argued. I noticed that King mentioned he had lost £20 million at Ibrox previously. As I recently blogged, there is some dispute about this. However, if it is true it is a pretty self-damning example for King to use, given that he was a director in that previous regime which ended in the sale of the club for a shiny pound to a certain Craig Whyte. Hardly the best track record for success – “I lost £20 million of my own dough so let me have another go!” I have nothing personally against Dave King. I previously blogged of his potential to be a unifying figure at Ibrox. Sadly, he has become a divisive figure and is feeding Rangers-haters with every doom and gloom pronouncement he makes. Yes, there is a need for a short-term injection to help the club through a potential shortfall in income. In response up stepped Sandy Easdale with an interest-free loan while non-shareholder King is dreaming up schemes to hold the club to ransom and strangle cash flow. No doubt King’s comments will be met with glee by the fifth column in the Rangers support. I don’t propose – unlike some – to speak for other fans but I find his ideas to be nothing less than a crude concept of extortion which would hold the club in thrall to the whim of fans. In short, yet another attempt at fan power – otherwise known as mob rule. I have no doubt some fellow fans will share my repulsion at this power grab by a man who talks big but doesn’t get put his wallet where his mouth is. As far as I am concerned, King is nothing but a tyre kicker and we will never see the colour of his money. My message to Dave King is simple: Butt out or match Sandy Easdale pound for pound and give Rangers an interest-free loan.

i ok did you read the statetment ? think i will take my chance with what you just said than what we have now mate.

They wanted us to surrender. There will be NO SURRENDER on our watch. Time to get rangers back in safe hands. If you don’t understand that then your part of the problem.

DAVE KING has gone to war with the Rangers board and called on fans to unite with him and seize control on a manifesto of sweeping change at Ibrox. The South African tycoon has finally made his move to win hearts and minds via an explosive statement as he called on fans to starve the current directors into changes that would safeguard the long term future of the club. The gloves are off and King is calling on fans to ring-fence their season ticket money into an independent trust as he pledged to pump millions into a consortium with supporters and like-minded investors in a bid to restore Rangers to the top of Scottish football. The Glasgow-born entrepreneur has launched a scathing attack on the current Rangers regime in the statement, expected to be released in full this afternoon. He has accused them of financial wrecklessness, shameful secrecy, sinister media manipulation and of taking fan loyalty for granted as he likened their tactics to those of former owner Craig Whyte. King, who invested £20 million in the club when Sir David Murray was in charge, claims the time to act is now or else Rangers will forever be second rate in the Scottish game to arch rivals Celtic, hamstrung by a lack of investment and forced to live a hand-to-mouth existence, He said: “If we cut our costs to suit our present income we will remain a small club and Celtic will shoot through 10 in a row - and beyond - while we slug it out for the minor places. “That is not the Rangers that I grew up with and not the Rangers that we should be passing down to our children and grandchildren.” King has piled the pressure on the board by calling on fans to ring-fence their season ticket money via a trust unless the current directors agree to his vision for change. Season ticket money would be released to the club on a game-by-game basis, or handed over in one lump sum in return for the club’s major assets - Ibrox and Murray Park - being signed over to supporters. He is calling for a fan to be elected to the board before season ticket money is released to “look after their interests.” He also demanded a series of probing questions are answered in full by the board before the fans commit to investing in the club via season ticket sales. King added: “For the avoidance of doubt, I appreciate that the Rangers board has no obligation to engage with me or to agree with my vision for the future of Rangers. My assessment is that the business is not commercially sustainable in the short term and hence requires a level of soft investment. “The board is focusing on right-sizing the business ie. cutting costs to match the income. It is correct that any club must, over the long term, operate within its means but in the short term Rangers needs a significant once-off financial boost that cannot be met from the current revenue stream. “Such a soft investment will only come from a fan based group that regard their return as winning trophies in the top flight. I have been such an investor and want to be so again. I would like to lead a fan-based initiative to acquire an influential shareholding in the club.” King travelled to Scotland from his Johannesburg base in October in a bid to engage with the current board but claims his vision for change was rejected. He has long been willing to invest, but has been reluctant to enrich, in particular, penny shareholders in the club. He has also railed against the secrecy surrounding some of the club’s financial dealings and the identity of institutional investors, such as Blue Pitch and Margarita Holdings. The Ibrox board have consistently refused to name the individuals behind the groups, much to the disgust of fans, and King believes a tipping point has now been reached among the rank and file. He added: “The fact that it believes it can proceed as it is doing without financial transparency makes two major statements about the board’s thinking. “First, they have correctly understood the fierce and unbending loyalty that Rangers fans display towards the club and the team at a time of common difficulty. “Secondly, they have seriously misunderstood this loyalty as being something they can take for granted and offer nothing in return. We shouldn’t allow that to continue. At this critical juncture, the fans control the funding that the board is relying on. “How we proceed will determine our club’s future.” King is expected to outline his ambitions even more fully in the days ahead

your right mate but it will all be ok in the end in a perfect world, but in the real world we are geting feked over again.

My view is they want to give us money then take money back in the form of shares, probably one and a half million 1p shares. so if the shares then go to 50p there quids in. this is only my view, but looks like we are getting feked over again big style if this is the case then we would be better of with an above board loan or even better with another ticketus deal do the maths. only my view mind. so if it is an above board cheap loan lets hope it has to b paid back in what the price of a shares is worth at the time of pay back.

sorted it for you then no one can be offended WE'RE UP TO THE KNEES IN SCUM BLOOD!

copy from ff lol
