26th of foot 5,824 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yesterday, BBC Radio Scotland sport was broadcasting whilst thinking aloud. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the struggle for comfort was obvious and ease of mind did not arrive until Newsdrive, after 4 O'clock. The sport headline on the hour, every hour was the release of next season's fixture list, the strap line being, 'the most attractive opening day fixture'. The morning was all about ra Sellik; well, they are Scottish champions and they deserve their due. The green'n'grey hooped horrors were opening at Perth on a Wednesday night. At lunchtime, we received an explanation that Sellik should open against the Harry Wraggs, but remedial Commonwealth Games work has postponed the match. One O'clock bulletin continued the refrain and informed the listenership that Rangers were opening against Hearts. Afternoon saw Aberdeen's opener against Dundee United as the most attractive opening fixture, 3 O'clock announced Rangers/Hearts was "ARGUABLY" the most attractive opening day fixture, and Newsdrive delivered the unequivocally verdict, no mention of us at all and Aberdeen/Dundee United was THE most attractive opening day fixture. I know news is a dynamic, but it seemed to me the politics between BBC Scotland and our club became the overriding factor. Ra Sellik were out of the equation and the commentary team must go somewhere, the hill of dung is that venue. You see, they cannot talk up Rangers/Hearts because they would then have to explain why they won't cover it by commentary. What a pickle? Other than the usual last two season's two minute match report by one of BBC Radio Scotland's usual suspects, do you think BBC Scotland want to cover Rangers matches? Cosgrove banged on for a decade that the Scottish First Division(now the championship) was the most attractive, most difficult, and most competitive league in the country, do you think he will continue this line between oral consumption of Anusol? I suspect they might wait to see how we start the season. Yesterday was a microcosm of the season long problem BBC Radio Scotland will have dealing with the football matters of our club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,114 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's always a source of amusement listening to Good Morning Scotland to see if they can fit in Rangers news somewhere between the hurling and elephant polo reports. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,808 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The club has a ban of sorts regards BBC Scotland so whilst a licence payer can have his say over the national broadcaster regards coverage of Rangers, it brings to mind the old line about 'you can't have your cake and eat it too'. I'd argue that what's more to the point and another show of ...'say one thing and do another'... is how the club may have such a ban in place but via spin-doctors, place leaks in the public domain (BBC) or indeed allow themselves to be doorstep interviewed in 'fagile moments' by those who they 'ban'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
