    Legal Fund

    An organisation that shall remain nameless is currently writing to us regularly over content posted on Foot.ie, and there seems to be a distinct possibility that they might take it further at some point in the future; despite assurances that they're wrong, and we don't have any money. We're thinking of creating a fund to deal with this kind of eventuality, but would people actually donate do you think?

    If said organisation is the organisation that I suspect it may be I'm sure many, myself included, could be persuaded to part with a few euro.

    Even I would donate some money if it is indeed the organisation that I think it is.

    I think that I think the same organisation as you do and I most certainly would cough up a small sum to help out.

    Ginger Rights dot Org can protest all they like, there's no way that Nicola from Girls Aloud is getting into Totty Watch!

    I'm prepared to go to court to defend my opinion that she's a minger!

    Hear Hear!!! I'd say "Fcuk the recessive gened freak" but for the fact I wouldn't dream of it.

    Meanwhile back at the ranch ...I think my 1400-odd posts is worth a few quid.

    I think a lot of us would love to see you stand up to a particular organisation and would be happy to help out.

    Indeed, should the power need fighting, methinks the people will row in behind you.

    We don't have good laws, in this country, when it comes to computer related matters so it would be very hard for anyone to be sure of their chances, before taking legal action against an Internet forum.

    They'd be lucky to get a court order to have offending comments removed and an apology issued.

    That said, I don't think there's any harm keeping the content in check, by insisting on proof to back up all allegations.

    Count me in. It's actually something I've been thinking about since Maribor Kev came unstuck. I was going to suggest a general war chest to fight any unnamed organisation that may want to gag discussion but a foot.ie fund for foot.ie makes sense.

    Thanks for the feedback folks, keep it coming.

    I can neither confirm nor deny that the organisation in question is gingerrights.org.

    Am I the only one left with no idea who this unnamed organisation is, except possibly gingerrights.org?

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.
