SilverWolfe Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 All of the above is very interesting but no one has answered the question. Do Rangers get a share of the rights money? Yes they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Kinky seems to be doing a Tedi and is deleting posts. Anyway..

DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So it's only one bbc man that is banned from reporting from Ibrox and the bbc is backing their man and sending no one in his place? That's about the gist of it - and the BBC are absolutely right to take the stance they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What this latest ban has shown is that the BBC is a near-irrelevance as far as Rangers are concerned and if they never reported another thing about us it'd make no practical difference. 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'. Your club are trying to dictate who from the BBC does or rather in this case doesn't cover the game - that is the reality. They took exactly the same stance with Dundee over Jim Spence and, again, were absolutely right to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Not quite sure what the problem is here. If a football club wants to ban an individual or a whole organisation then they should have the right to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are but they totally counteract it by doubling their already disgraceful fawning over the blue bigots and you genuinely wouldn't have a clue there was an embargo in place. 2 hours ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: Your club are trying to dictate who from the BBC does or rather in this case doesn't cover the game - that is the reality.

More sinisterly they are really trying to dictate what can be reported about them and their disgrace of a support. Any reporting on their sectarianism will simply not be allowed. Not that it really is reported anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Not quite sure what the problem is here. If a football club wants to ban an individual or a whole organisation then they should have the right to do so. Even when that football club belongs to an organisation which is paid to allow radio and tv coverage of the club's games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wish to exert control over what a free press is able to say about them. It really is that simple. And that abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is what started it all. Rangers fans started a petition to get him sacked on the back of it, and their spineless club went along with the fans instead of actually dealing with the sectarian singing. Graham Spiers was sacked from his job, after saying that Rangers fans used to sing bigoted songs but had now stopped, and that in the old days a Director had praised the "Billy Boys" song, for some reason this started another petition, which saw the newspaper force him, and a fellow journalist who tried to support him, out their job. Rangers fans can mewl and try and defend their club all they like, but its clear to anyone without any bias that they're trying to force the media into reporting what they want, or they'll get you sacked. As its not a one-off incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 ^Parks of Hamilton threatened to withdraw their ads from the Herald, told Speirs to apologise, he told them to bolt, Angela Haggerty tweeted in support and they fired them both. Vile, desperate behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Rangers* fans can't accept that their Club died so why should anyone be surprised that they disbelieve anything that reports upon their Club* negatively? I'm sure I saw a puff piece recently that "Warburton was happy with Garners development" - He's 28yo FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
