    **** Direct have a very, very poor case. I'm sure more learned posters here will concur.

    All we're seeing is Ashley thrashing about in a series of vindictive litigation.

    It's not doing him any favours - and that's an understatement. It's getting to the point where NUFC's Sky money is keeping the SD ship afloat.
    I disagree, I think he has a good case. The GASL negatively commented and that is no good for any buisness. I thinkd MA is getting bored now and his heart is not in it any more hence the poor representation of what is a good case.

    Evening times saying The Rangers have banned Chris McLaughlin, and the BBC re having another one of their 'boycotts':

    BBC Scotland said: "We are disappointed that Rangers took the decision to ban our reporter Chris McLaughlin from Ibrox. We believe it is unjustifiable and we stand by the integrity and the quality of our journalism. "We will continue to report on Rangers both on and off the pitch and will feature match action where appropriate but, until this issue is resolved, we will not be sending journalists to Ibrox or attending Rangers’ press conferences.”

    It always amazes me that people in Scotland are surprised to find the Institutions are inherently biased towards the establishment. Rangers are a club of the establishment. Mike Ashley is getting a hard lesson in learning just how corrupt Scotlands institutions really are. The Judge had no reason to begin stating of anything other than the facts of the case but chose to begin slating SD because it was already decided before he entered the Court what the outcome would be. I am anything but surprised, I would have been shocked if SD had been treated fairly. That is how the wee free of Scotland are, unfortunately for the rest of us who would prefer to live in an inclusive fair society one free of bigots. And for the record I am not a Catholic which should not matter anyhow but shockingly it does in this banana republic.
    Not sure if this suits your argument or not but the top judge in Scotland who retired last year, Lord Gill is very much a Catholic, and a practicing one too. Just saying. ...

    The siege mentality plays well with the hordes.

    I did'nt know that but my experience of working in one of Scotland's institutions does not change my point of view whatsoever.

    I'm no legal eagle but no matter that the judge seems a little bit strange, SD did not seem to present a very good case at all and there is no way you could find against sevco based on the evidence they provided.

    That in a nutshell.

    Mike Ashley clearly has enough money to dick around in court, but I can't see how you can win a case for financial loss when you are unable or unwilling to demonstrate what that loss is.

    It's vexatious and an abuse of process. Doesn't mean he won't win the war, though.

    He would have been a good judge in cases of fraud where companies have gone underwater.

    I like this bit

    Earlier counsel for Rangers, Mr McCormack QC had told the court that a witness statement from Ashley had only been received at 4.55pm on the day before the hearing, a delay blamed on the “festive rush,” in Sports Direct during the Christmas holidays.

    It says to me Ashleys legal team were on the tills and stacking shelves and given their performance in Court perhaps they should have been!

    With regards to the £200k damages.

    I understand this is related to sales. The share price has naff all to do with this. The loss of sevco related sales in the sevco shops and elsewhere in Ned Direct would have been quite easy to qualify however is it not the case that sevco is required by the onerous contract to make good these non sales so in fact SD won't be affected.

    Probably why it's been withdrawn sevcos legal team wouldn't need to be genius material to pick holes in that

    It's difficult to understand the psychology of these peepul. They are almost beyond help. The men in the white coats should be wading in with straightjackets for these total nutters. they have lost touch with all reality and are ill with bigotry. Deary me.

    Doesn't look like they have a typesetter or publicity department either. Or are they actually ERS football club?

    Nice start, bound to be taken seriously by all.

    Or is ERS football maybe a new breakaway sport they are launching?

    Absolutely hilarious - These trumpets never fail to amuse, they've been force fed bull**** by Level 5 PR for so long that they are incapable of rational and independent analysis. Puffed up pompous fools.

    Well that was a fairly brief and half-hearted fightback.

    You were using the case to back up your views on the Scottish establishment. Whilst those views may be valid, there are probably better ways of supporting them than a case being heard in another country :)

    This could be a problem.

    If they, or someone else starts a new Bears' Fightback, will that be a new Fightback or will it keep the, very short, History of the old Fightback.

    Over to you, your Lordship..

    The Establishment are one and the same. Does'nt matter what part of the Uk. Read David Icke's stuff, he may be off the wall but a lot of what he says is closer to the truth than most.

    Sorry to be even more pedantic, but I've always thought of them as the same lot of Bears. They didn't die, they still **** in the same woods.

    My thoughts too. Maybe had the internet turned off for not paying their bill. No inside knowledge, just a hunch.

    They might be the same Bears, and their pastoral ablutions might be liquidated; but does that excuse their verbal diarrhoea?

    Further, if the Bears resumed their defecation after a pause would this count as a new poo or just the same old crap?
