bennett Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not seeing the problem here, Rangers can't comment on the player while disciplinary proceedings are ongoing, the journalist (bedstead?) Was given plenty of chances. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Warburton handling it sensibly with good humour. Traynor behaving like the contemptible shit that he's long since been established to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Don't see much problem with Warburton's reaction either. Big problems with Traynor, as there always is when he opens his idiotic mouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It IS possible to think that there's fault on both sides here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwithme Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 A press that tries to irritate folk to desperately try to get any kind of story isn't a good press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Malcolm Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This 'gents' pish is extremely wearing. If there's no women in the room that's a pretty sorry state of affairs. It's invariably a buffoon who addresses a group as 'gents.' It's like having a discussion about the toilet facilities. Traynor was behaving entirely characteristically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 9 minutes ago, bennett said: Mark Benstead. You should have started his name with a capital letter. Yes, he knew the score, but was probing for more information. He wasn't rude or confrontational and Warburton too, knew the score and was playing the game er... respectfully, for want of a better word. But Traynor had to play the bully boy. He might just about be the most despicable figure in the whole saga. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense like that means less time is available for pertinent questions. Edited October 12, 2016 by bennett 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Just now, bennett said: This has been happening in every press conference for the last four weeks, benstead knew the score well enough. Nonsense like that means less time is available for pertinent questions. Is it not possible that both sides are in the wrong here? I'd agree that Benstead's badgering is needless and stupid, but so is Traynor's attitude afterwards, and is actually embarrassing for Warburton who was dealing with the situation quite well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Do Rangers have an in-house media manger? Surely it's their job to manage press conferences rather than Traynor's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warburton was oozing dignity if you ask me. That's why showing respect here was so important.

Dons_1988 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Traynor of course acted like a bellend as usual but the journalist is in the wrong too.He should have understood after the first couple of times of 'we won't be answering any questions on the matter, let's move on' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
