The issue here is that they refused to run the advert without giving any valid reasoning. They then withheld the money for the ad for an unusually long period. Greenslades article is full of inaccuracies that a quick Google check could have resolved. In fact, if he read the statement he'd see that his article was nonsense. There might not be a grand conspiracy, but so long as The Guardian refuse to explain why they really refused to run the advert then they're fanning the flames. |

Oh indeed, anyone who thinks that is a rocket. This will all be to do with advertisers threatening to pull the plug. Everything about Rangers/Sevco and the myths being about same club etc are commercial decisions. From newspapers, to sky, to BT, it's about the blue moolah. |

Can someone summarise this entire Res 12 situation - I'm not well versed enough on the ins and outs of it and my boss, a Londoner, just asked me if I could explain it to him

The Guardian don't have to explain why they've removed something, they're not a public body. They might not have fancied a controversy, and don't want to further fuel a controversy worth talking about outside of fringe websites. Did they hold money for an unusually long period? What is this being compared to? I'm not buying one of the most pro-Celtic 'Southern' media figures is part of an anti-Celtic conspiracy. It's Hanlon's Razor if you ask me. He may well have not understood the issue; par for the course for journalism. Tilting at windmills imo. |

I agree, though I wouldn't even think it's about the blue moolah. Not directly anyway. I think they just don't want to be brought into (even if being paid for it) what is largely seen from the outside as a domestic football argument. |

Rangers obtained a licence to play European football in season 2011/12 from the SFA despite *potentially* having overdue payables to tax authorities at a certain date. This would be against UEFA rules for obtaining a licence and the SFA would be culpable for allowing a member club to enter European competitor at the expense of other member clubs who were up to date with their taxes. |

HMRC asked for Rangers to pay their tax, innit. Rangers told the ol' Ector to do one, my son. The SFA gave Rangers the ol' okaydokey to play against the johnnie foweigners. Too facking right they did, me ol' son. The Offshore Tax report gave it, - them SFA geezers 'ave slipped up a treat, and no mistake, guvnor. The Resolution one dos-ers put a bleedin advert in the posh news of the screws and it never appeared, neiver it did neever. The Guardian said ding, and Paul at CQN said dong, innit, 'Arry. Hope that makes it clear to your boss. |

As stated, the Swiss paper cleared it and the Guardian also ran a similar advert from the same people in regards to Rangers (Sevco) being a new club. There is dirty deeds at play here. |

The Swiss paper isn't subject to the same laws as the Guardian, and presumably the content of the previous advert was different. I personally think they just didn't fancy the hassle but not sure we'll ever know. I wonder if the dirty deeds at play in The Guardian will continue in the form of employment for Roy Greenslade. |

What interest would the Guardian have in protecting the SFA? What would be the dirty deeds? To me it seems like a pretty straightforward case of the paper's legal team deciding the risk wasn't worth the reward. I don't imagine for one moment they have any vested interest. |

There also the issue that the 'New Club' ad lead to an investigation by the ASA. Probably didn't fancy being involved in another. |

I agree with your reasoning but, seriously, who was going to sue them? It looks to me more fear of commercial consequences than legal ones. In which case, shame on them. As for Greenslade, he has totally misread the text and misunderstood the issue. Ah well...

Maybe they got wind of the fact that zombies were talking about taking out an 'advert' to publicise one of their grubby wee campaigns and that a English broadsheet wasn't the place to be getting into a slanging match between two sets of supporters. I suppose they're looking for a quick few quid with adverts, not to have to run to their lawyers everytime someone with calls with a fistful of crowdsourced money. Obviously the best situation would be if the story was covered indepth, because it's of high importance, but I'm inclined to agree that they probably see it as a local squabble between two groups who can't stand one another. |

I didn't know that had happened - that's almost certainly the answer then. These things can be a bit of a paperwork nightmare for middle management, the hundreds of quid for the ad suddenly doesn't seem so appealing when a lawyer and two managers have to spend days and several meetings sorting out legals ins-and-outs, email trails, who-spoke-to-who and so on. |

So we were fleeced of a potential £10m-£12m of CL money? Or, if not us, another team was? Is Resolution 12 the name of the rule? Cheers

The Guardian was heavily criticised in the past for pandering to HSBC's wishes. HSBC have a huge advertising account at the Guardian. The Guardian don't give a monkey's about the SFA. They do, however, care about big advertising revenue and have probably pandered to a group of advertisers who DO give a monkey's about the SFA and continuity Rangers. |

I think you give the reach of the SFA and Sevco far too much credit. To me they have simply viewed this is a game of oneupmanship between football fans (with potential legal ramifications) and thought it better avoided. I see no grand conspiracy - just a paper that decided a few hundred bucks simply wasn't worth the bother. |
