Scott7 5,233 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I applaud the Herald and the BBC for not linking the scandal to a remote celticl connection. We can now be sure that if anything similar arises with some tenuous Rangers link the same common sense restraint will prevail ...... can't we? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotter 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 leggat is clutching at straws here. a needless article, however, had it been a rangers owner or staff member involved you can be sure the scottish media would have been all over it. You see the point you made in your second sentence? Legatt made it with an article containing information none of us would have been privy to had he not shared said information. He is not, in this instance, clutching at straws. He is highlighting a deliberate omission on the part of local media which none of us were aware of. In this instance, I applaud him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onevision 1,454 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 because it is. would he have wrote an article asking why the media were covering had it been our owner/staff member? i doubt it. If you re-read your posts you'll find that you've answered this yourself. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 STV and the Scotsman gave it enough publicity. They report it once, anything bad about Rangers gets tagged onto every Rangers story good or bad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuznetsov 0 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If you re-read your posts you'll find that you've answered this yourself. yeah with that last bit "i doubt it" leggatt is not the scottish media. he is a nobody as far as the scottish media is concerned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reported it, I prefer to leave paranoia where it belongs, at the girodome. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
