bennett Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 18 minutes ago, Rugster said: Where does it state they have a responsibility to cover games? They provide score updates, red cards, etc for the games in league one and two and some of the Championship - how does that not count as coverage? You're absolutely havering here Bennet. They send journalists to other games to provide coverage for open all mics, for the last few years Rangers have only had scores read out at half time. As licence fee payers we should get the same coverage that is allotted to other teams at this level. Obviously you are in full sevco mode and will continue to argue otherwise.

I'm pretty sure other clubs with decent club TV; Youtube channels; well-developed social media etc would say much the same. So maybe our far-sighted and thoughtful sport administrators could challenge the BBC to change focus somewhat and put more emphasis on the clubs with lower media resources. That would surely be something worthwhile from our national broadcasters rather than indulging in hand-wringing about their spurious 'Ibrox ban' as reported by the OP. Perhaps P&B could accept a similar challenge and reduce the hand-wringing and shite threads about 'a new club'. Here's the real reason you don't like the BBC, maybe if you'd paid a bit more attention to them you wouldn't have let your club die? 8 minutes ago, bennett said: The spfl confirmed at the time that it wasn't their practice to brief journalists after games, Christopher was fibbing again. A spokesperson for the SPFL said: “We understand a match delegate may have given information, which was to be included in their report, to a journalist following the recent Petrofac Training Cup tie between Rangers and Hibernian. Although this does not breach any formal rules, delegates are requested not to engage is such activity and we will be addressing the incident with the delegate in question.” So not lying then, this was an spfl issue, if indeed it was an issue at all. So what did Chris McLaughin do wrong then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've had score updates as and when goals go in, as well as comments on "contentious" or important moments in matches as they happen. You're just lying now Bennet. Where does it state in the BBC charter that they have a "responsibility to cover matches" as you stated they do? 2 minutes ago, bennett said: Google search Chris mclaughlin - spfl delegate or wait until I can do it. 2 minutes ago, williemillersmoustache said: A spokesperson for the SPFL said: “We understand a match delegate may have given information, which was to be included in their report, to a journalist following the recent Petrofac Training Cup tie between Rangers and Hibernian.

DA Baracus Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Don't bother with Bennett. He's a monumental coward and liar. A wretch of a man not worth the time. Leave him to stew in his own delusions and bitterness. Anyway, I don't really get the BBC's stance over this. They're making out that they are taking a principled stand over their reported being unfairly banned from doing his job. That would be fair enough and would be just and right, but they then still report on Sevco matches and go out of their way to get information on their matches (be it reading feeds or watching feeds and pretending otherwise). Basically their stand means f**k all when they continue to pander to the racists and bigots that are Sevco and their fans by giving them huge amounts of coverage. They even report on what comments the Sevco manager makes to other outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking someone something, and them actually answering are two different matters. EG you've been asked a few times to tell us where it states the BBC have a responsibility to cover games, and you haven't done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
