[Gaz92]

I'd say he's another one who won't be forgotten, but he's such a fucking nobody that would be quite hard.

[King Jela]

A tweeter with split personalities, is there anything worse ?

[supermac]

I thought you meant the Motherwell defender at first

He either didn't mean it that way or shat it when he got bears replying.

[Carsons Dog]

goal.com - Killing football clubs?

Hi,

Re: Steven Saunders @stevengoal

I'm contacting you in respect of comments made by the above person who is employed by your organisation.

I have always enjoyed reading goal.com and often refer to it for information on whats going on in the world of football, particularly at the moment as a major tournament is taking place.

I note from your website that goal.com are "dedicated to making the Goal brand the definitive multi-platform football experience for fans".

Is this aspiration for all football fans or is it selective and exclusive?

The reason I ask is that as a fan of Rangers FC and one who has travelled extensively all over the UK and Europe to matches involving Rangers I am keen that my children and grandchildren will also be able to benefit from the enjoyment and experiences I have had as a fan of the club by also being able to follow them for years to come.

Unfortunately the club, as you will no doubt be aware are in financial difficulty at the moment due to the mismanagement of previous owners.

It is apparent now that Rangers will be playing in the Scottish Football League (SFL) next season as opposed to the Scottish Premier League (SPL).

This situation is not of the making of fans like myself who only want to support their team and will do so whatever league they play in.

However it seems to be the stance of goal.com to completely destroy Rangers FC as expressed by Mr Saunders in the below tweet.

"Scottish Football League Fans, the challenge is on - force your clubs to vote against Rangers' application, and force them out of football"

This tweet is clearly aimed at putting pressure on supporters of SFL teams to deny Rangers FC entrance to the lower leagues and to ultimately put them out of existence which would have the effect of making hundreds of staff unemployed and effectively putting a club with hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide out of business.

Can you clarify if this is the official position of goal.com as the tweet was made on Mr Saunders goal.com account?

Clearly this information is important as should Mr Saunders succeed in his aim to force Rangers out of football any subsequent legal action would obviously be taken against you as his employer facilitating him in his campaign.

It is patently clear to me that an organised call for supporters to force people in to unemployment by a website such as yours would have an extremely good chance of being litigated against should it be seen to be contributory to their redundancy.

The tweet is unambiguous and clear - This man is instigating a campaign to force the closure of a Scottish institution and one can only speculate as to his motives for making this rallying call to football supporters to destroy another football club. Perhaps his motives are something you would wish to discuss with him but clearly that is a matter for yourselves.

Does goal.com condone this call by their employee and is his stance indicative of your views?

I would welcome your opinions on the matter.

Regards,

[MosesMcNeil]

I called Perform to complain - Tel: 020 3372 0600

And they were good enough to put me straight through to Saunders' boss. He took the complaint (and indicated it wasn't the first or last he was expecting) but didn't try and dodge the issue.

Saunders is claiming it was a joke. I asked for a public apology on Goal.com - Saunders' boss said something will be done, but he could not commit to what that might be ahead of speaking to Saunders himself tomorrow.

We'll see. Perhaps some more calls might encourage him to do the right thing.

Hugh Dallas' was a joke - this is a call to destroy a football club and make hundreds of people redundant.

[Gilesy]

I think someone's about to lose their job. Fuckin well deserved too. Ya prick.

[NorthernLights]

What a pussy.

[eosmhdo]

By the looks of the wee prick he would struggle to finish his dinner, never mind Rangers.

I wouldn't be too sure, I think it will be a strong slap in the wrist, an apology to us, and then it'll be forgotten about.

[Creampuff]

Thought this was the Motherwell defender

Like Regan favouriting the tweet about Jig getting hung.

I have also just finished speaking to Saunders' boss who graciously listened to my complaint regarding our Club which, I advised him, employs hundreds of people, full-time, part-time and sub-contract. I said I was disgusted at the post. The man was patient and as per your post, he said he had received numerous other calls. He will speak to Saunders tomorrow and he wasn't pleased at the post. Saunders won't be sacked but will receive a severe rebuke. He said it was meant to be a joke but agreed it was in extremely poor taste. He actually likened it to Frankie Boyle. Fair play to the man.
