bennett Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's not like BT or sky who have to appear impartial, it's aimed at fans of one club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddie Ledbetter Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Let's face, they need to aim low for the fans at that club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's not like BT or sky who have to appear impartial, it's aimed at fans of one club. I get that and I've said so. Do fans really want a commentary quite that devoid of objectivity though? I certainly wouldn't. It would irritate and embarrass me, but then I'm not the sort of guy that supports Rangers I suppose.

Wullie McNaught Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's a stupid word used by stupid people to describe neds. And the term neds is used by the highly intelligent, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you come back to the top flight with us or stay here with your team? Not that we'll have any shortage of shining wits in the Premiership, of course.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well done Rovers on getting that play-off spot. It's nice to see all the Fife teams apart from Cowden heading in the right direction. Seems like things are coming together for McKinnon after taking while to find his feet. Some parallels with Naysmith at East Fife. I know the Premiership play-offs are significantly stacked against the team finishing 4th but Rovers have to be quietly confident of having a right good go at it with the form they're on? The squad that we have just now are more than capable but I wouldn't want to make any bold predictions.Good to see EF going well too. Hope they finish the job off.

Just noticed East Fife are 4 points clear at the top of the league. Hopefully they can see it through and win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may grace the odd match thread in the top flight if you lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers said: "This is about balance and fairness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 No, the BBC are not banned. But BBC employee Chris McLaughlin is banned and the BBC, in standing by their employee, have started a boycott. You couldn't make it up. Wee Rangers standing up to the might of the BBC citing balance and fairness as the reason. Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojito Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What a way to piss on a parade Given the potential outcome and the deflation of missing a penalty, the team showed incredible spirit to battle away and got the reward in the end. Rangers will still go on to win the league but yesterday showed that as a team they still have some major flaws and remain a million miles away from being a top force in scottish football. As for biased commentary - The RaithTV guys have always struck me as always being objective and really quite knowledgeable when it comes to our opponents. They do tend to go apeshit when the Rovers score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't expect them to celebrate that though on RTV surely!? Aye we've got our weaknesses, but talk about being far off a 'top force' in La Scotia Liga is f*ckin ridiculous ! Every game and every result will be a battle home and away next season. Every team will be 'full on up for it' playing us, including C*ltic. The attention on a new club who haven't won f*ck all will be astounding!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Honestly can't believe people are trying to have a go at Rangers commentators for this. It's the clubs own tv channel what do you expect? If it was Hibs tv I'd be fully expecting them to be bias as f**k towards us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
