craigkillie Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Presumably they just pay the fine and move on. Although I have heard it suggested that they haven't actually banned the BBC, they've just banned McLaughlin, and the BBC have refused to send anyone else there out of solidarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it is the BBC who chooses not to cover Rangers in solidarity with Chris McLaughlin. In which case Rangers cannot really be fined, as they only banned one journalist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd then, that the BBC continue to do nonsense like quoting Steeeevie G interview off BT Sport today at the end of the match. You would think they would at least have the decency to ignore the currant buns if their principles are so valuably held? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett will tell us that Rangers haven’t banned the BBC, and he’s right, but they have banned Chris McLaughlin. The reason that they have banned Chris McLaughlin? For writing the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're having a mare this weekend, M90. You tried to have a go at Hertz fans' attendance at Hampden and are now on to the BBC 'ban'. Have a wee lie doon, pet lamb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The club that have done everything they possibly can to address bigotry, have banned a reporter for reporting accurately on some bigotry. It really is that simple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Remember. They also had an issue with Mr Spence for telling the truth. Has anyone checked a dictionary to see if the word Liquidation is still in it ? Seems it doesn’t exist in the vocabulary of many Scots anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Amusing to hear sycophants like Richard Gordon still desperately trying to rewrite history about Rangers dying. He got in all the classics today, including 'demotion' and 'financial troubles' What a bootlicking pack of cowards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me, I think you easily deserved to win today, but it might have been nice if Steeeeevie G could have actuallly told us what was going on rather than the BBC telling us what BT Sport was broadcasting ! Its amateur hour, and all because you cant accept being told that sectarianism is unacceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indulge me with a reminder then. I recall some utterly innocuous and accurate remark on Sportsound for which he got disgracefully hounded, but I can't think of much else. Help me out here Bennett. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t having any go at Hearts fans attendance today, I was having a go at the general reaction to low sales from two teams whose fans have only an hour’s journey along the M8. I couldn’t care less about how many Hearts or Hibs fans turned up this weekend, it’s up to them, as it should be with any team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
