It is morally reprehensible if the huns get away with ripping us all off for 50 million sheets.

How do you go about raising an online petition to get this discussed in parliament?

Here's one way: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/

[leithsansiro]

If you get 100,000 signatures, it has to be discussed in parliament. Surely, there must be at least that number of people who hate the idea of Rangers getting off with this...

[beensaidbefore]

count me as 4.

once set up il get my details put on it.

Are you going to organise it Hibs0666?:aok:

Surely some celtic fans will have organised something like this already. 100000 signatures would only be possible with their help anyway.

I tend to disagree with you about that mate. Im sure between us, hearts and aberdeen we could get about 75000. Then you have the people who are not into football that when explained to them that they are paying for it, would happily sign out of principle.

Thats before you consider the rest of the teams, surely another 25000 in dundee n perth??

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Can we not get one for the yams?

[MCameron]

Let me know once it's started.

[Coco Bryce]

What a great idea. Lets do this!

[MCameron]

Then post a link on all other spl fan forums. Then send to all spl boards of member clubs to let them see the strength of feeling.

Maybe had second thoughts......wouldn't want a visit from some bears from the lodge once personal details were added to the petition. I mean it wouldn't be the first time HMRC had divulged personal information now would it :agree:

I understand a petition can also be raised for the Scottish parly, so will need to think of a plan.

Instead of wheeling out a few squaddie amputees during one of your nurenburg-esque type 'flag day' rallies. Why not prove your 'loyalty' to 'queen and country' by actually paying the taxes you are due.
So quit your posturing and your dodgy, insidious, faux fascist displays of uber nationalism and cough up, you tramps.
Just think, some of that 50 odd million (and rising) quid might have bought the correct equipment for the aforementioned squaddies!
Go on, ask them if they'd prefer their limbs back, or a free ticket to Rangers v St mirren.

Unbelievable. :bitchy:

For all the faults that Rangers FC has as a club and for all that their supporters may be a detestable bunch, "wheeling out a few squaddie amputees" is something that Rangers should be thoroughly commended for and they deserve to be praised for taking such an approach with these people. If it wasn't for them, this country would be in some state.

Too often, these wheelchair bound squaddie amputees, that you refer to in such a disparaging manner, are put away and forgotten about as soon as they come home and leave hospital. Good on Rangers, and all other football clubs who give them some publicity.

I'm no so sure he was having a dig, he just used it to try and make a valid point. I take your view that you thought it was in bad taste, but the fact remains that some of the money would have gone towards defence.

You could argue that RFC asking the Soldiers to Ibrox as a publicity stunt was in bad taste, knowing full well that they had no intention of paying their taxes!! The taxes that keep our nation afloat.

I do agree, he could have used a better example (Nurses), but RFC wouldn't have got as many "brownie points", for that one. :wink:

I think before we go castigating the above, it would be interesting to find out if this was in response to another comment by some friend of Ibrox, or just a straight opinion on the situation there.

To be fair, there are some valid points made and I can very much see both sides of the coin with the responses.

Let's just get the petition signed and try to get our £50m back from the coffers of those in charge at Ibrox.

Total signatures has gone up by over 2200 in less than 24 hours. So if this level of additions remains constant it'll take around 50 days to hit the 100,000 mark needed which might be too late.

This is against the plea from some government ministers who are asking for a wee bit leniency from HMRC towards derhun. Also for them not to be able to just start up again free of debt without the ability to pay their taxes due now. Ibrox must be worth a good few quid as must Murray Park, so the means is there for them to pay what they are due by selling either or both.

AFAIK, it's a government run web-site, so if anyone misuses your details, they have liability.

From personal experience (work), they're usually pretty secure.

Rangers Football Club are one of the biggest sporting insitutions in Britain in terms of support,stadium,history and trophies won.
There is a need for a swift resolution to the tax case with HMRC, the way the club was run in the last 14 years by Sir David Murray as well as the last 9 months by Craig Whyte and any administration or liquidiation so that the club can prosper once more.
There is a precedent with the prime minister lending his support to Portsmouth FC. Will he do the same for fans of Rangers FC

Only has 265 less signatures :rolleyes:

Shameless bump :greengrin

[mutley]

Admins/OP any chance we could remind folk to verify their signature via their email address.. I never realised I didn't until I checked my emails :agree:

Well reminded, I have confirmed.
Count was 3818. That's still pretty low considering it's now posted all over other footie forums (supposedly). Maybe there will be a lot more over the weekend

Maybe the celtc fans don't want to see the back of them after all.

Anyone know if it's posted on their sites? I tried to put it on the football section of yahoo answers but the duckers removed it :grr:.

[Captain Trips]

500 ahead of their petition so come on keep it up.

[beensaidbefore]

If not why not? Get it done!

Secondly, has the link been posted on other teams websites? Would be pretty pointless if every clubs supporters are starting their own seperate petition.

[hibeedonald]

please change the title so it says VERIFY BY EMAIL

[O'Rourke3]

> 4800 :greengrin

This!

[frazeHFC]

It's on a few, definately Aberdeen. Posted it on some random ones too, so hopefully more and more get signing it. I hate huns.

[Hibbyradge]

Sorry to rain on this particular parade, but I doubt this will achieve even half of the 100k necessary to be considered for discussion.

Fewer than that number turn up to watch Scottish football at the weekend, even less will frequent message boards and of those that do, many won't want Rangers to go bust.

If the petition really is an attempt to secure monies owed to the tax payer, rather than a barely disguised campaign to rid us of RFC, then it's doomed failure, even if by some miracle enough unique signatures are obtained.

How can the government make any company pay money it hasn't got? Failure to meet financial commitments equals bankruptcy.

[Dinkydoo]

4800 is a rubbish amount of signatures for the length of time this has been going.

I don't have a Facbook or Twitter account so obviously can't comment on how this has been publicised there, but spreading something like this across the Internet should mean that it's growing at an exponential rate.....which it isn't.

Absolutely seething when I heard Salmond. They should get off lightly because they are an "institution"??

That article took the words but doesn't go far enough. This guy has gone on about Scotland's shame and how it is a negative aspect of our country.

One of those theaters of hate is in danger and he is talking about them like they are endangered pandas. He isn't a real Jambo, he's just a suck up that will say anything to appeal to the "masses".

It's been going a couple of days!

I've said from the start that Celtic should be leading here and I hope that they are involved... otherwise we'll never get the numbers.

...and yes, it's still down!:rolleyes:

Somebody with Facebook needs to set it up as a group, explain that an email is sent to you after you've voted and that needs to be validated before your vote counts. Then start sharing that page with friends - that's when it'll go viral.

[mutley]

It seems to be working again.4494 so far

[hibeedonald]

should hit at least 5k by the end of the day, i reckon at least 10 will have signed it and not verified their email though

Good idea:wink:

[MCameron]

To ramp up the number of signatures email 10 family members or friends the link explaining how RFC are effectively ripping all if us off if they're let off.

Point out they need to verify the link. Ask them to email 10 others once they've voted.

Chain e- mail spreads like wildfire.

[hibby07]

done:thumbsup:

Done,5779 now.:aok:

[Hibbyradge]

So have you signed the petition or not then ?

Has it been established that Rangers are, in fact, liable for the 'estimated £50m'? I thought there was to be a court case to establish that.

[CentreLine]

I went to sign the petition but, I hate to rain on the parade, although I agree with the sentiment, I find I can't as it does not seem relevant to the current position. Right now it appears RFC are liable to something like £9m for unpaid PAYE and VAT. It has not yet been established that they are liable for the circa £49 and so this petition is in danger of looking live a vindictive swipe at another club rather than the views of thousands of concerned tax payers.

Sorry guys I need to wait until the £49m has been established by the court then I will be right behind any move to ensure that we, the tax payers, are not swindled out of a penny

[Matty_Jack04]

Signed it verified it cause there filthy cheating basa's and I don't need to wait on anything to confirm that

[whiskyhibby]

I don't know (you sound like Donald Findlay by the way).

Answer the question - have you signed the petition ?

[Hibbyradge]

I would have thought the answer was fairly obvious. No, of course I haven't signed it.

It's factually wrong, it's premature, it's vindictive and it's doomed to failure.

It's not even petitioning the government to do anything.

I don't want to put my name to something like that.

[DH1875]

Since no one else has done it. Bump :thumbsup:.
