I have been a couple of them as a guest a few years back and I seem to remember that they were men only (or maybe that was because there were practically no woman sportswriters at the time). 2004 according to the article and even then it was a close vote This week, at a second EGM, members voted 26-20 to change the constitution and, hopefully, end once and for all what has been a long-running saga in which the no women guests policy was condemned by the NUJ and the Equal Rights Commission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jim Spence tweet highlighted that even more that for some reason, folk are desperate to cast blame on anything Rangers. I wouldn't say this debacle is being blamed on Rangers - it's more about the absolute state of the wider world of Scottish sports journalism. However, it's an interesting question as to whether someone who "learned the three Rs - Rangers and Rangers reserves" in childhood, states it as a self-identifying point in his bio, and who has therefore spent life steeped in "We are the Peepul" sectarian triumphalism, may be more inclined than someone else to punch down with hate speech and horrible jokes about women, foreigners, and gay people. Who knows? Maybe he's part of a "small minority" and there's nothing to see here. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
