That's what I was thinking as well, there are 2 stock headlines that seem to never go away 1. (Insert Rangers related person) says Celtic domination bad for Scottish football 2. (Insert Rangers related person) says Rangers need to invest heavily to catch Celtic Edited June 3, 2017 by senorsoupe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 6 hours ago, 7-2 said: The Old Firm mindset just doesn't allow them to understand or believe that it makes absolutely no difference to the fans of the 40 other clubs whether it's Celtic dominating on their own or when Rangers were alive and challenging them. I think it's genuine too. They really do not understand or accept that we couldn't care less which of either of the OF wins stuff. This ludicrous idea of people pretending that their own blatant self interest is in fact an interest in a greater good, is so childish and transparent. Only a towering lack of self awareness permits it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Last night Scotland Under-20's beat Brazil 1-0 at the Toulon tournament, a very highly regarded competition. Beating the Brazilians at any level is a massive achievement for us yet every time I've checked the BBC website last night or today the headline feature has been an Old Firm puff piece or a bit about a player in the English 2nd Division crawling to his new manager. The match report has been moved all over the place. What an utter disgrace. That result and report should have led the way until tomorrow given f**k all else is happening in Scottish senior football at the moment. They were handed a rare opportunity to promote Scottish football and they've shoved it to one side to further promote their beloved bigots instead. Soul destroying doesn't even start to cover it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out about that result by looking on here in the Tartan Army section. I checked the BBC sport Scotland website for a match report and for at least 3 hours after the final whistle one hadn't appeared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsound was even worse, they announced they were going to do a piece on the Toulon Tournament then proceeded to spend 15 mins discussing the only elite player in Scotland is KIERAN TIERNEY, Convieniently forgetting Oliver Burke is actually in Toulon, and how great HAMILTON'S youth policy is, remind me how many players they have in the squad again? [emoji15] .... Ffs. Eh hello, what have any of these two got to do with the Toulon Tournament ? An utter excuse for a NATIONAL radio show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 To be fair to the Scottish side of the media, has it really been talked about much on the English side of the media? Genuine question, I haven't really seen England's results mentioned much on the BBC either. TalkSport mentioned a one-liner that they were playing but that was about it. Shame generally really - highly regarded youth tournament at a time where there is nothing else really happening. Why not just get someone a betting account and have them do some coverage of the event. It'd fill a few articles at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The u15 or u16s stuck 5 on them at Pittodrie sometime in late 90s or early 00s.

Stu Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 https://www.clubcall.com/championship/royals-midfielder-off-to-st-mirren-1853348.html Reading midfielder Craig Tanner has signed for Scottish Premiership side St Mirren on a two-year deal. Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson has snapped up the attacking midfielder, who becomes his third new signing of the summer, after he was told he had no future at the Madejski Stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Daily Record, Mirror, S*n, etc. are essentially click-bait journalism. Putting that he's a Celtic fan will be seen as a way to boost readership cause most of their readers will view it as "one of our own" or "one of them". Embarrassing all round.

Savage Henry Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I see the STV hacks, who for some reason get off scot-free for being vacuous but friendly on Twitter, want us to believe the new Rangers bit part loanee calls the manager "gaffer". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
