WadeWilson 4,670 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 the proper way to spell it is shown in the Oxford English Dictionary........1 "s"You can spell it as both 'focused' and 'focussed.'That's a fact. And I think for you to focus on what you thought was a spelling mistake is pretty pedantic and pointless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,248 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Eh? 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.Falls under the jurisdiction of the country the ISP provider is registered I believe.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It 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.The statement could be better but I've seen enough of your anti board postings to believe you were trying to insinuate that some of the claims might be true because of the wording, that's what I find pathetic. Feel free to say I'm wrong.It mattered enough for you to reply though eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR09 37 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hmmm I wondered about the wording of the statement, particularly the part "damaging to the reputation of Rangers Football Club.". That seems to me like grounds for some legal action. I wonder if the club is giving them all fair warning before going after the next lot of crap one of these scumbags produces . . . . .

Sket 13,610 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Jim Delahunt snickering that he "gets into trouble for reading Rangers' statements."I tend to agree with Ger-Onimo here. I am not sure that this weirdo should be acknowledged by the club.Delacunt is a putrid wee arsehole. I would never tire of booting the jaw clean off him.

rangersfc77 170 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 One of the reasons the famine song was banned was due to a complaint from visiting Irish officials I believe it is time we returned the favour and let the Irish government know respect is a two way process.

Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Whether it is or not, whatever the board do won't be good enough for you For one thing. I havent got a single clue what you are on about. If you can show me one post where I have been against this board I would be delighted to see it. You must be sniffing around bawsbursts crumbs.Secondly you completely avoided a simple yes or no question. Do you think this statement was strong enough?

MrMccoist 204 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've had a bash and I reckon this version or similar is better. It shows phil macgivian up for the crook he is, whilst could not be done legally due to the alleged etc.Dear All,It has come to our attention that a number of false allegations have been made regarding Rangers Football Club, from a known bigot masquerading as a journalist, indeed suffice to say this is the same man termed by a tabloid national paper as being "tarred with a sickening sectarian brush". A man whose such past is so dubious he has changed his surname 2-3 times Indeed it remains open to reasonable conjecture as to why this is the case.Whilst it is not club policy to comment on such individuals. It would appear the individual is suffering from an obvious mental health problem. We refute these allegations wholeheartedly, and urge the individual to seek the immediate help of a mental health professional if not for him for the sake of his alleged (sic) daughter.In the meantime, I will be working tirelessly to return the Rangers Football Club to their rightful position at the top of the Scottish and European GameYours SincerelyMr Graham WallaceThe Priviledged CEO of the Rangers FCEdit :The above is intended for humorous purposes only. No fictitious daughters were made to cry in the drafting of this statement. If you or any persons affected by this statement were made to cry please seek the help of a mental health professional.

Young Conqueror 78 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 gets my vote Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
