killiemilan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 1 minute ago, Monkey Tennis said: Yes. In reality, their stance is pretty half hearted and inconveniences them more than it does Rangers. Quite bizzare. Surely if such "threats" are being made it is a matter for the police?Otherwise pass the reports to the rangers legal team to take appropriate action? Perhaps thats not how things are done in establishment Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayers for wee Jum. 16 minutes ago, killiemilan said: It is obviously the case that journalists are frightened of reporting the truth regarding the Govan lot. We just need to look at the tweets from the tennis guy to explain this. All this sorry episode does is to reduce the credibility of both the journalists and the rangers. That explains why you never see any negative articles regarding Sevco, I reckon that Jim Traynor is behind it all.... -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 16 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said: I noticed that. An absurdly convoluted way of saying (or more accurately, of not saying) something. It's funny. When Rangers' - or anyone's - transfer activity is discussed, nobody refers to a holding company conducting such business. That only comes into play it seems, when liquidation is the topic. Another example of the ludicrous mental and linguistic contortions required to pretend that the events of 2012 provided no significant interruption. The SPFL's own rules are the pinnacle of linguistic acrobatics when it comes to covering up the Sevco debacle, with references to clubs having "holding companies" and being "owned and operated by a member" of the league. Basically anything and everything necessary to make it appear that clubs and companies are different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should also be rules around access for the media that must be adhered to. Somehow I dont think any club could refuse access to certain journalists for champions league matches just because they didnt like what they said about them. There is always the legal route for sevco and they could add the bbc to the long line of people they are allegedly taking through the courts? Just proves that the vile bullying from sevco actually gets results! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42842520 Where to start. Maybe she mis-typed the month...have we lost a home game on the 12th of any other month? Maybe she mis-typed the date...did we lose a home league game on any other date in August? We've lost 1 league game at home and it was on the 2nd of December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As written, it suggests St Mirren were back at home having been on a run of away games against (from context) Queen of the South, having beaten them twice before that run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Is the title 'A Vocal Minority' used in a Scottish media, cover up the truth fashion or in an ironic manner as they know it's a much peddled lie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they choose not to is to their collective shame. The BBC are not free to send their employee Chris McLaughlin to Ibrox to report on a match in an official capacity, because he reported something that actually happened. You couldn’t make it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get annoyed at this when it’s a Scottish manager that gets sacked from an English club and it appears in Scottish football section.This is an Englishman, being sacked from an English lower league team.And this is the main headline on the ‘scottish football’ section....

Apologies you are correct there (and I saw your first version of that too!). I just find it very frustrating when stories that have nothing to do with “Scottish football” appear on that part of the site.It’s nothing on the day David Moyes got sacked by Man Utd. I’m pretty sure the entire Scottish football section was consumed by the many, many stories/opinion columns etc related to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is that interested in 'Scots' in the English game then make one more click and go to English Football and fill your boots. It's easy enough. The amount of English football coverage by the BBC in the little time and space allocated for supposed dedicated Scottish football coverage is a disgrace especially given there's wall to wall coverage of it available everywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 An article by the BBC's "Sport Editor" on a potential Winter Break for the English Premier League and not even a passing mention of the fact that another UK league already does this. Instead, the winter breaks in Germany, France, Italy and Spain are mentioned. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42954835 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
