ian1964 10,459 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I saved this tweet Graham Spiers sent to me a month or two ago GrahamSpiers: @parkovanbasten @Frank_Bear @weemoose There will be no bans, I can assure you. Am amazed there is this paranoia, victim-mentality... I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!! Fire it back to him 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,459 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 This was posted on my Rangers Facebook page I am told that, because of the way the manager was carved up by the BBC last night on the news, with the above link highlighting what they did, severe sanctions were taken today. Whyte and McCoist are raging at the way they have portrayed him and the BBC had all access withdrawn today, even though they are rights holders Whyte is apparantly livid at the agenda being shown by this organisation. The press conferenece was held up aftermatch until their guy was kicked out, and it then proceeded as normal. Unless a full apology is made, they will be kept out.

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Great news if this ban is true, but Rangers must follow this up right to the top with an complaint. Full apology must be broadcast and or a sacking, nothing else will suffice. Now where's that c@nt Spiers when you need him too. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The editing on that piece is a genuine disgrace. The clearly cut in clip of Ally smirking is so obvious. I couldn't believe that was from an actual BBC thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear54 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 This link?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-14251800 Ian's link shows what this is all about. Why are we getting hammered in all this debate? Why not the pubs, or the supermarkets who sell the booze that fuels the violence? Or the failings of society to address issues such as domestic abuse, knife crime etc. It's far too simplistic to blame football for every social problem that happens on a weekend that Rangers are playing Celtic. It really pisses me off that everyone is getting away with this misrepresentation. And the sooner that the media, and in particular the Beeb are brought to task the better. Their role in this sorry farce is despicable. All in the name of selling news space. We don't need any of them - they need us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggordy 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 A football stadium full of drunk, angry, rival fans is merely the perfect stage for all of Scotland's ills to be put to the test. Where else is there an opportunity for all "our" social problems to be gathered together in one venue ? It's actually quite remarkable that no-one gets seriously hurt. Meanwhile, there have been more knife murders this week as well as the usual deaths from alcohol and drugs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairdy 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 That bit of film is a clear hatchet job. The edit is clearly out of context. I dont care for a BBC apology, I would prefer them to hand over all the footage and let us show it on the Rangers website. Un-edited. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dutchy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 That is a totally diffirent report from what appeared on RS and radiio Scotland all day. Why they think they can send out the same report with 2 diffirent angles is evidence,if evidence was needed that journalism is in the gutter. All of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 This link?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-14251800 Saw this on Friday, could not understand why Reporting Scotland were doing an article on policing OF matches completely out of context. Absolutely baffling. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
