Tapie was playing chess while we were playing checkers, no doubt about it. He was paying off European referees while we were still trying to get Freemasons to join the Lanarkshire Referees Association. It was embarrassingly small time from us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The fact that Rangers are framing it in this way, again just totally undermines any claim that the club does everything it can to counter sectarianism. This dispute arose due to an entirely accurate report about arrests for sectarian behaviour. The club's reaction was to ban the reporter concerned from working at Ibrox, hold out for years, then claim victory, aided by that snivelling BBC statement. Rangers doesn't want to combat sectarianism; it'd rather defend it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a common defence mechanism used by rangers fans against any reference to sectarianism and in fairness, it’s not the worst. Act like it’s all a big laugh and the accusations are all just Diddy rage. Best ignored and stored away for the next time they show utter hypocrisy on other matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s possible for the media to report accurately on an issue having occurred, but through selective bias/focus, create an outsized perception of that issue. Florida Man is a good example, Labour over the last five years maybe a slightly weaker one. It doesn’t require reporting anything inaccurately or falsely, and crucially there is still a problem, just not at the scale or intensity it might have otherwise been perceived as? To be clear I’m not agreeing that the way the club went about it was right; but I can sort of understand the reasoning, and how that’s not at odds with the later campaigns like everyone anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ban a journalist for an accurate story you don’t like, then you’re in the wrong. It’s really as simple as that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get that how stories are selected and highlighted can represent bias, even if the stories in question are true. I don't for a minute, however, think that's what generally happens with media coverage, including that the BBC provides, regarding Rangers. Indeed, I'd contend that it's utterly the reverse. You acknowledge that you're not particularly supportive of the scale or vehemence of the Rangers response. You're right here, but I think that response is indeed completely at odds with the sentiment apparently behind campaigns like "Everyone, anyone..." . If the club is more inclined to shoot the messenger when anti-Catholic fan behaviour is highlighted, then I'm sorry, but the message that the club is not for everyone, could scarcely be clearer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afc69 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 If Michael Stewart wasn’t marginalised enough, he’ll be even moreso now. Looks like he’s been contained to co-comms by the BBC lately, never seems to be involved in the general fitba chit chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressball Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Incredible reading this… G51 loses the heid, maybe outs himself as a sectarian sympathiser, then when it’s brought up goes “your team was shite in Europe.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody depressing though. His "bad day for Catholics" post yesterday was pretty outrageous. Again, substitute "Jews" or " "Muslims " for Catholics and he'd no doubt see it that way himself. Because Rangers' main rivals are seen as "Catholic" however, it's all fun and games, a bit of a wind up. I honestly don't know what it takes to get us past this. Too many actively enjoy it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s frustrating because I doubt they can see what they’re doing, it’s all just part of the rivalry isn’t it? ETA - frustrating because you largely see this behaviour from otherwise reasonable people. Edited July 21, 2022 by Dons_1988 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Worth a reminder who they hired after Jim Traynor left Clicky Rangers appoint senior Orange Order figure and DUP councillor as their new head of communications He is also listed as a member of the Royal Black Preceptory – a secretive Protestant fraternal society. It’s believed he has stood unsuccessfully for a place on the board of the Rangers’ fan group Club 1872 in the past and he has little formal experience of employment in the mainstream media. They hired an anti catholic, homophobe with no experience for the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
