As a previous poster has already said, the revelations, and the embarrassment of Murray et-al, is great fun... but I still don't see how any of it helps Whyte's case.

Lady Stacey rules too late for a newwitness today. Jury sent home until Tuesday morning, court adjourns.
Over to the experts to untangle the web.

Those facts are not in doubt, IMO. There has already been a civil case (Ticketus v Whyte) to support that. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...s-8567084.html
However, whether the Crown are able to convince a jury (who, of course, should have no prior knowledge of Rangers, football or business issues) of that is another matter. Thus far, they haven't been doing that for me. Findlay is playing a blinder in dancing around the politics of it all, which will confuse the jury.
It's a long trial, though, and there will be plenty prosecution witnesses yet who should play their part. The Ticketus guys, the bank, Gary Withey and the Duff & Phelps guys.... they should be funLast edited by CropleyWasGod; 28-04-2017 at 02:34 PM.

SDM, the Old Huns etc claim they had a solid club and were carefully planning succession to secure the legacy of all things Hunnish but were hoodwinked by that nasty man Craig who fraudulently claimed off the radar wealth but turned out to be potless.
vs
Whyte will claim that SDM and the Old Huns were right up **** creek sans paddle and knew fine well he didn't have 2 beans to rub together but were so desperate they turned a blind eye and passed the parcel sharpish.

Whyte's evidence will be that Murray knew all along but was desperate to get shot of Rangers so that he could rescue a banking relationship with Lloyds for his main business which was also in soapy.He may also try the line that he and Murray had discussed Murray still being involved if the club went into admin.which would get rid of King and his debt and Murray coming to the rescue.

Cheers.
Only thing is, I thought the trial was about whether or not Whyte defrauded Ticketus. Although I have to agree to being a bit confused by the whole thing by now :-)

Findlay's cross examination of Murray suggests that he might be suggesting that Whyte was defrauded by Rangers !

Apparently according to the other thread about the boy who ran on the pitch, it's our fault for invading the pitch after the cup final last year which encouraged people it was ok and it was the Celtic players fault for....yep "goading" them. Delicious Hun tears.

The responses to this thread, and the song in question, are those from sewer rats.
Actually no, that's very offensive to sewer rats.

I had a "discussion" recently with a friend about the club scene in Trainspotting2.
Her view was "well, it was funny, but hardly true to life, is it?"
Can't wait to show her this.....

Pic of the fan having a dash at Scott brown on sat. Those new volunteer stewards they have at Ibrox seem a bit scarce?

Some on The Den think that Murray is coming back to save the day 😂. Now worth £150m again apparently...after ditching >£200m of debt when Murray International went bust.

The legendary words of 'goaded' and 'great restraint' appear. And I'm pretty sure someone was wanting Griffiths booked for pushing the fan?!?
