Well said Mrs. E and green jhedi, Anne Williams is one of the most inspirational people you are ever likely to see, the courage, determination and fight she has shown for 24 years is incredible, and without her, there is no way that justice would be just round the corner. The fact that she made the Hillsborough memorial on Monday at Anfield tells you all you need to know about her. It really sickens and angers me that she won't see justice achieve though.
I'm quite a way down the page here, but I hope a few of you see this, Brian Reade summing it up much better than I could;

I don't believe that 10 SPL clubs and the div1 clubs have the stomache for letting secvo skip divisions to an spl2. It just cannot possibly happen. Especially with 12-12-18 having been torpedoed by the pro secvo movement. and Regan and Longmuir's incessant pro secvo lobbying. If anything its put everyone off even more.
The recent Whyte revelations underpin the integrity of the decision to not allow secvo into div1. There's still a lot of smell to emerge from this dung heap, best keep it as far from SPL football as possible. When they crash again they'll destroy the league they're in. Bottom tiers are enjoying milking them.

TRFC bring in about £15m a year. They spend about £30m a year. That catches up with you.
Shouldn't rent a finance gub, Neil Patey not be wheeled out to deceive fans again? for the benefit of Green. Wonder how much Patey gets paid.

Surely Celtic FC are Scotland's most successful operating football club? And that's so very obvious.

Surely only FIFA can award the title of the worlds most successful club side? After using certain criteria such as number of top regional tournaments won (Uefa champions league for European clubs, north/ South American equivalents, Africa, Asian, equivalents).

Why does a brand new 2012 club get away with advertising itself as the worlds most successful club?
Uefa and FIFA need to step in.
I hope Celtic FC have made formal complaints. Also to ECA.

Taken from the dark side rumours site - This taken from the worthingtons chairmans report dated march 2012. At the year end, our cash balances had increased slightly to £264,000, from £247,000 in 2011. Unfortunately, for actuarial reasons, the Pension Scheme deficit increased from £2, 842,000 in 2011 to £3, 933,000 at the end of 2012. The pension scheme funding risk continues to represent the principle risk factor faced by the Company. The Company pays £110,000 per annum to the Pension Scheme plus 20% of any pre tax profits made in the year. The Company also pays the annual PPF levy previously borne by the Scheme. We continue to monitor closely the performance of the Scheme's investments which total £7.9m (2011: £8.3m). Early in 2012, the Trustees of the Scheme were in the process of advancing a secured loan of circa £3m to Rangers Football Club ("RFC"), on very advantageous terms, when RFC was placed into Administration on 14th February 2012. The loan had never completed, but the Administrators of RFC, Duff & Phelps, now have these funds in their solicitor's client's account and the recovery of these monies is subject to ongoing legal proceedings. Our legal team are confident that the £3m will be recovered, plus interest & costs.

More money they never gave back - crooks to the core.
