Perth to Paisley Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 What exactly is the point of Latin in 2017? To the best of my knowledge it isn't a functional language, yet it's still taught in schools. I suppose Latin is a relevant subject to discuss on a thread about Rangers since both of them are dead. Arsium stickium to both of them. Generally regarded as the basis for a lot of foreign languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownkg Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think they're posting in Latin to stop Rangers fans from understanding - though I don't either.... you should at least know that AM a bam is Latin too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Herbertson Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Some reckon Latin contributes to about 60% of the English language so it can be useful for understanding unfamiliar words. It's even being revived in Scottish schools to improve vocabulary and comprehension. Best though is that a short pompous phrase in any conversation makes you appear clever even if you haven't a clue. So, if you are discussing this tax case with the enemy all you need to say is Facta non verba (Deeds not words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So this is what a patsy looks like,hope he manages to get the real crooks in the dock,no doubt he will have something up his sleeve Looking forward to an explanation (sworn court testimony ?) as to how Ticketus was persuaded , and by whom , to give this guy ?26 million up front. He must have had senior business figures lying on his behalf as he (Whyte) had no previous experience of running a football club or involvement with Ticketus. Don't forget Rangers RIP launched their own internal investigation of him prior to the sale which had red flags all over it. And yet, the sale not only went ahead but Ticketus shelled out THEIR cash so that Whyte could pay off the Llloyds debt to get control. This could be a very interesting few weeks.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You think? Don't see it. He played his role in a sham. Just now seeing it out. Taking the ball into the corner. Maybe, but he might have to keep it in the corner for a very long time, this case is scheduled to run for 12 weeks, mainly, I believe, because of the preponderance of evidence Whyte has put forward that runs into many thousands of pages. Now that the case is underway, any benefit Whyte might have got for pleading guilty will have gone! He'd have been better off kicking the ball into the stand, just before kick-off, if he doesn't want to see this game to a conclusion Saying that, though, doesn't mean that the prosecution won't throw in the towel if their case against him isn't all that strong, as some have suggested.
