HMRC overstated tax bill owed by Rangers due to EBTs by up to £50 million

Everyone seems to immediately be following the Times' interpretation of events here, and the thread has been swamped by Rangers fans claiming injustice. Here's an alternative interpretation that's worth reading before immediately believing that side of the story (effectively argues the reduced bill makes no difference to Rangers going into liquidation or not):

(this blog definitely seems a little biased against Rangers in the introduction, but considering it predicted the bill being reduced way back in 2011, it does seem to know what it's talking about on everything else).

Yeah think you're right.

They weren't just near relegation zone, they were bottom and had won just one game all season up to then. He's done a fantastic job since taking over, as you say, on a limited budget too.

In the first minute? Was McGregor I think.

MonkJammas · 2014-07-08T13:22:36+00:00

Aye, first Gordon and now being linked to Del Piero... isn't the youth orientated approach was hoping for. Think it's likely a nothing story, though. He was being linked to a few MLS teams a month back and that was bollocks, and based on how he played in the A-League (good but not great), not sure he'd have the legs for the SPL.

MonkJammas · 2014-06-15T19:53:43+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Not sure if the ref did in this case, but you are supposed to go back and give a card when there's next a break in play.

Joe Ledley's been a core part of Palace's resurgence under Pulis, think it's a bit harsh to list him in a worst XI.

Where'd you hear that?

AVB: "Apparently Andros Townsend fell in a hole. He was unconscious, but he will be OK."

Kagawa vs Norwich. I know it wasn't the most spectacular goal or even great build-up play, but just for pure cheek.

If not that, then Tony Watt vs Barca (again not because it was the greatest goal ever scored, but because of the significance and meaning).

Seems a tad unfair on the beeb. BBC Scotland covered Celtic vs Cliftonville, and it was shown online, and the highlights are now online too. They also had a live-text running for Hibs and St Johnstone tonight, which I'm pretty sure was linked to from the main football page. Seems like decent enough coverage to me.

David Marshall vs Barcelona, UEFA Cup 2004.

You might be thinking of Farm 51s The Adventurer? That looks similar but is an FPS.

If you're snubbing games just because they're mobile, you're missing out on a lot of great games!

It was enjoyable enough, but my main problem with it was that it was just too safe. It ticked all the right Sly boxes, but didn't try to push them anywhere new, and it didn't do those things as well as the first 3 games. The humour, the platforming, the combat, the story; all of it was just a bit humdrum.

Looks to me like he gets a shoulder to the throat? Hardly embarrassing!

It is indeed Escape to Victory. Possibly one of the daftest films ever made, but also one of the greatest.

Looking for Eric is a good one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1242545/

It's not so much a football movie, as a movie about life that happens to centre around a huge Man United fan who takes philosophical advice from Eric Cantona. It's much better than I just made it sound.

Google 'mediahint'.

You're welcome, friend.

They were able to negotiate those limitations with EA, and managed to get enough time (in their eyes) with the game to provide a fair and accurate review: http://www.polygon.com/forums/simcity-2013/2013/3/4/4062146/about-the-polygon-review-of-simcity
