Danny 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Jim is one of the prime BBC football pundits and has appeared on Radio 5 and other network programmes about the issue. Ignoring clear examples of bias is not an option. Simple. Prime BBC football pundit? I guess a lot has changed since I last heard from him - he was an irrelevant wee nyat before. And I'm not entirely convinced he's anything other than that despite getting a bit of airtime. Btw, please don't accuse me of 'ignoring clear examples of bias' when you know fine well I've been vocal in objection to the BBC. You saying that to me is not dissimilar to your own objection when this site was compared to the BBC recently. Unfair and unwarranted. Anyway, let us move on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 He's in a position on Sportsound and at the BBC in general (website blog, other radio shows etc) to influence public opinion and also to misrepresent public opinion which he has done a lot in recent months. Like I say, I have seen nothing from him in the past year. And I suspect no one would be whining about him now if one person had not seen his hypocritical Dundee blog and raised attention to it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I resent that! I've been whining about him for a good few weeks, now. No-one has been more whiny, in fact. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the guy has more influence than I originally suspected, but I really didn't like the tone I was being addressed in with regards this. Not by you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even read his Dundee blog, so that's not why I commented. I often listen to the Sportsound podcasts (replays) to see what's been getting said and Mr Spence has been one of the leading anti-Rangers/kill Rangers commentators during this whole saga. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he is a raging hypcrite. But still not a relevant one, despite some airtime. Just because you work for the BBC and possess an opinion, it doesn't mean people take it seriously. Look at Chick ffs! He's the most lampooned guy around and he is in as big a position as Spence, if not bigger. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However others do and a person who has the job within the media has to give an impartial view, as he is a reporter and he managed to do that with his rival club but not us, poor editing standards, plus he is given the platform to spout nonsense as well. Don't get me started on Chick or Richard Gordon... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I see he has replied to some Gers fans on Twitter by posting some obtuse link that only further enhances his bitter view. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jimspence/2012/02/rangers.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Dynamo 128 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Should we not be pointing out the indiscrepancies in his reporting rather making personal attacks. I personally couldn't care less about who he supports or what he writes for that matter. As long as it is consistent. If he thinks Rangers deserve to die, then he should be saying the same about Dundee or any other club in a similar situation. All clubs that end up in administration generally do so for the same reason "they can't pay bills". If he doesn't then we should be asking why. Why does he differentiate between the two. It may be for the reasons on here and on twitter this evening. But he should be made to justify his comments if he doesn't then he loses credibility as a journalist 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
