BIG BOOST FOR RANGERS ATTACK ON HMRC

RANGERS have given the go-ahead for Ibrox stars to take to Twitter to back the epetition to force the Government to probe HMRC and the criminal leaks to the now totally discredited Rangers Tax Case blog.

It is the first time any football club has ever given permission to players to take part in such a high profile on-line campaign and the backing from the Blue Room once again shows the way the new Rangers regime is working with supporters to fight the club’s enemies.

Already, in the past few days, evidence of the bond which is forming between Charles Green, Imran Ahmad and Brian Stockbridge, became evident when Green announced that Rangers were backing the supporters calls for a boycott of the Scottish Cup tie against Dundee United at Tannadice and that Rangers were taking no tickets.

That was the first big bombshell news which underlined and proved what I first revealed here a fortnight ago, namely that there is a strong appetite among the powerbrokers inside Ibrox to make common cause with responsible supporters groups against those who have previously had a free rein to attack Rangers.

Of course the usual suspects were soon bleating their disbelief. But now, in the wake of the combined operations of Rangers and Rangers supporters over the Dundee United cup clash, they should know better.

Also, now the fact that Charles Green Imran Ahmad and Brian Stockbridge have agreed to pleas from supporters to recruit Rangers players to the campaign to force a probe into HMRC and its dealings with Rangers, further underlines the Rangers regime’s commitments to being men of the people.

It was not a step and a decision they were able to take lightly, for they know the many powerful enemies of Rangers inside the Hampden boardroom of the Scottish Football Association, where Stewart Regan and Peter Lawwell form a formidable alliance, are watching and waiting for any opportunity to charge Rangers with improper conduct.

However, after taking top level legal advice, the new Rangers regime have allowed Rangers players to join Rangers supporters in the campaign to unmask the criminal who leaked confidential tax information from HMRC to the now totally disgraced and discredited Rangers Tax Case blog.

The players have been told they are free to post links on their Twitter accounts to the epetition. The link is

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/42143

If you want your electronic signature to count then remember to confirm the email link you will be sent. A total of 100,000 signatures are needed to ensure the whole sad sorry tale of the HMRC behaviour towards Rangers is raised in the House, leading, it is hoped, to a Government probe.

The hope is that not only the illegal leak will be investigated, but that senior HMRC officials will also be grilled and made to answer why it was they allowed Craig Whyte to gtet away without paying PAYE, VAT and NI for such a long time that the debt was such that Rangers had to be placed in administration, eventually leading to Liquidation and the Third Division.

If Rangers supporters take to the web and swamp this epetition with their electronic signatures then, in tandem with the Rangers regime’s unprecedented co-operation in signing up the Ibrox players, a mighty machine can swing into action and lead to justice for Rangers.

With somebody eventually feeling the grip of the steel bracelets on their wrists as they hear the order of....take him down!

......

AND.....

I hear there is a startling omission from the ranks of those Rangers stars from the past who have been invited to parade at Ibrox before Saturday’s game to celebrate 140 years of Rangers history.

Gordon Smith, one of the key members of Jock Wallace’s 1978 Treble winning team, has not been asked to join the throng of legends.

Whoever it was who left Smudger’s name off the list should be ashamed.

.....

FINALLY....

ANOTHER victory over the forces lined up against them by the new Rangers regime. The statement by Charles Green that Rangers intend to hand over their share of the gate money from the Scottish Cup tie against Dundee United to charity, was a masterstroke.

I don’t know who is advising Charles, but whoever it is, is already doing a very good job. The BBC’s arch-anti Rangers – and anti Dundee – man on Tayside, the absolutely appalling Jim Spence, has just had the feet cut from under him.

As have everyone inside the Scottish Football Association’s Hampden boardroom where many suspected that board big shot Peter Lawwell and his poodle, Stewart Regan, were plotting a plan to make Rangers look bad over the principled stand taken by Rangers supporters and backed by the club.

There are some fun times ahead for those who support Rangers. And a bumpy ride for the club’s enemies. Inside Hampden and elsewhere too.

Maybe to do with the fact he still kinda backed Whyte? He was still sticking up for him the last i read

[Chef 436]

I think it important that bloggers who are with us highlight it should never ever turn to a mentality where bears are cast aside for having a different opinion. It seems some bears have the mentality where if you ain't vocal, or don't agree then it's the cut off point of all things rangers.

Was he?

I missed that mate I can just remember him coming across well just as we had entered administration but saying his hands were tied with regards to the job he was asked to do at Ibrox.

[Fools Gold 488]

The petition had slowed considerably over the last week, so this should give it a boost if the players tweet it.

Good stuff.

I mind he spoke well but then heard or read an interview where he was saying money was there for players etc. It wasnt a big thing but everyone else was seething and he didnt seem to help the situation.

I like Smith though, but maybe its guilt by association that sees him left out?

someone said on here you can use the same email twice, but it's false. I.tried it so had to make up emails for my kids and then used my fiancees to sign her up.

[El Carpintero 546]

Gordon Smith left out.

I'll need to have a wee search for that mate,I doubt the decision's been taken lightly,he's maybe said something about Green when the jury was still out on him and this is the payback.

Excellent post from Leggo.

Must say I'm really surprised about Smith.

[minstral 5,375]

Think it is shocking leaving out Gordon Smith.

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

someone said on here you can use the same email twice, but it's false. I.tried it so had to make up emails for my kids and then used my fiancees to sign her up.

Me and the missus both used ours twice.

[RFC55 110,284]

I'll need to have a wee search for that mate,I doubt the decision's been taken lightly,he's maybe said something about Green when the jury was still out on him and this is the payback.

I'll have a look when back on the laptop!

Maybe its nothing sinister and he just can't make it? I know a few like Graham Roberts have said they won't be there due to other commitments

[danger ranger 922]

Think it is shocking leaving out Gordon Smith.

Could he have been the ex-player who gave dual contracts evidence or maybe he was the one that was leaking info.

It has to be something bad to be left out

[Gerwelly 115]

I'm liking this new approach!

[ianbear007 15]

there were no dual contracts so it follows there is no evidence of the same,the tax tribunal said so--duh i believe i have spotted another one of the obsessed in our midst

[paisleyroad 894]

so have any players or staff posted up the e-petition since they got the go ahead?

[We Will Follow Rangers 13,032]

I think smith is tainted by whyte.

as part of a treble winning team he should have still been invited.

but put it this way, I'm glad he's no longer part of rangers, bain got pelters for standing by while murray went mental, smith stood by and kept schtum while whyte drove rangers at the rocks.

[Thermopylae 15,287]

Would Smith have known that the PAYE and tax weren't passed on to HMRC?

[danger ranger 922]

there were no dual contracts so it follows there is no evidence of the same,the tax tribunal said so--duh i believe i have spotted another one of the obsessed in our midst

CG got rid of smith pronto and bomber brown who made a right arse of himself and caused CG all sorts of problems even a rift between ally mccoist, does anyone know if bomber has an invite, if he has then then whatever smith has been up to must have been hurtful to rangers .

I don't think it's anything to do with taking sides, and by the way I used to watch smith playing.

[baxterboy 476]

petition signed!

nice to see the wives signing up as well

i tried with my four 4 ex wives ..

...no go, though.

surprising? not!

fuckin bitches!

two cyber fiances came thru, though..

gawd luv 'em!

[danger ranger 922]

regarding Gordon Smith we should all keep our mouths shut until we know what were are talking about.

lesson learned
