Not once have I heard that being described as unfair or not balanced. If they felt there was an issue they should have contacted Rangers to give Traynor or a Rangers representative the chance to respond, that is all that is required here. It's then up to Rangers whether they wish to respond or not. It is quite fitting that Stewart's point was that Traynor is a bully, and by the BBCs pathetic cowering in response they have proven to all that that is the case. If Michael was employed by Clyde or Bt sports etc then he'd have more leeway in what he could say but with the BBC being publicly funded, they have a strict code of conduct which Michael obviously broke. It seems like he's falling into the be controversial to stay relevant trap (Sutton), maybe he should do a wee bit of research before going up against an old media hand like dangerous Jim Traynor. They're not talking to us, so obviously there will be no communication and its probably gone too far now to ever change. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said, I'm a fan of Stewart, but there's an element of truth there. He needs to make sure he's on firmer ground before fighting his next good fight. He doesn't want to appear to be pointlessly courting controversy, as he'll be easily - if perhaps unfairly - characterised that way if he makes further mistakes. The Spanish translation thing should have been resisted - it lacks a little class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the point I know, but this sort of misunderstanding of what actually happened gives ammo to these mutants. One person got banned. The BBC rightly backed their man and chose to stay away. Not that it makes a difference since, despite what the staunch deluded idiots think, the BBC will still always be desperate to cover everything they do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Hibernian Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Scottish football would be better without Sevco. The previous incarnation was poisonous enough in their behaviour and cheating, this new version are emboldened and more venomous in plain view. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not the merest suggestion of course that anything he reported (from Easter Road incidentally) was untrue. Rangers just didn't like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This probably will go over the head of the likes of Bennett and Kincardine but, Michael Stewart at no point had a go at Rangers as a club, his criticism was of Traynor and how, with his victim siege mentality, using the club and individuals connected to it for point scoring in personal vendettas against individuals and organisations he personally bears grudges with, and embarrassing spin like the car brakes drivel and the subtitle lies he is actually dragging the club down and very few Rangers fans can see it. Saw a blue nose on Twitter today saying that, since King left the boardroom Traynor has little support left at Ibrox, many would like to see him punted as he is embarrassing the club and it's support with this kind of pish and his Level 5 PR services aren't cheap either. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do apologise, however it wasn’t in front of me when I was typing, is my excuse. I saw Joey playing his first match at Pittodrie for Aberdeen in October 1969 against Partick Thistle when he scored his first goal from a penalty. Saw plenty of games and goals after that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
