trublusince1982 243 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Meanwhile over on the Celtic equivalent of gersnet they'll all raging about the 'Daily Ranger' and saying the exact same complaints. okay so they didn't lie and say we were hiring a new dof while making redundancies? they didn't constantly mention the fable of £140m debt after the tax result?They never called us tax cheats after being found not guilty? They didn't publish fake stories about dogs in celtic strips being attacked? They don't consistently throw in the fact people are rangers fans when it has nothing to do with the story? they didn't publish lie after lie regarding whyte? they didn't say we had died? could go on and on but lets face it apologists will be apologists no matter what. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The fake dog story was the sun. I have no idea about the accuracy of your other claims. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Me an apologist? I don't read the Record or any paper so can't vouch for everything they have said. However, they have been a huge help in bringing down the board(s). While they were exposing lies most of our fans just couldn't see the wood for the trees, as usual. Your grievances about a DoF and the debt seem petty. How do you know they didn't try to get one? If reports are correct we did approach at least one recently. Regarding the debt, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the big tax case still being appealed and there's a strong chance we will lose? Not sure you can criticise them much for Whyte. Apart from initial misguided nonsense about his wealth, they and the BBC were the main factors in his downfall. Where have they called us tax cheats after the result?

chilledbear 16 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 There have been a few Journalists who have helped to highlight the failings of the old Board, perhaps picking the Record for special mention was a mistake. Personally I don't believe banning organisations or individuals is the way to go, there must be better ways to show our displeasure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from initial misguided nonsense about his wealth, they and the BBC were the main factors in his downfall. Where have they called us tax cheats after the result? Not sure why you think there is a strong chance we will lose the big tax case, nothing new has been presented since we won on the last two occassions. More likely the appeal will go on and on as they do not want to pay back the clubs who came to settlements with them before the test case came to fruition. Cant critize them for Whyte! are you kidding? They were the ones who told us he had "wealth off the radar"! a snapshot of DR claims in regards to whyte "Financial whizzkid Craig Whyte stands on the brink of pulling off the biggest deal of his life... Record Sport understands self-made billionaire Whyte has entered into the final stages of negotiations to buy control of the club he loves from Sir David Murray... A deal worth around £30million is now believed to have reached such an advanced stage that sources say Whyte, a high-roller who splits his time between a home in London and the idyllic Castle Grant in Grantown-on-Spey, could even have the keys to Ibrox in time to fund a major refurbishment of Walter Smith's top-team squad in January... By the age of 26, Whyte was already Scotland's youngest self-made millionaire. Now, 13 years on, and in charge of a vast business empire, his wealth is off the radar." who needs facts when you can just claim sources ehh? you can call it petty all you like but journalism should be held to a higher standard than sensationalist crap with the sole intention of antagonising to sell. i agree they helped king and co remove the board but it does not excuse their previous behaviour, that will no doubt continue. That being said do you think that is what newspapers should do? align themselves with this camp or that camp to pursue a personal grievance? what happens next time when the camp they join is against our wishes, still okay? How about a newspaper that reports facts leaving the reader to come to their own conclusions, instead of their opinion hidden behind fake claims of unidentified sources. not seen anything on it today but I assume they have lead with the "Guidetti sectarian singing" since they have stated their disapproval of such things quite clearly when it involves our half? Long may the honest and fair treatment continue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,281 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I do very much hope that the new regime will tackle Scottish journalism head on. We have suffered these last four years and the DR was playing its part, no matter the "good" or actually impartial journalistic work they also (sic!) did. If James Traynor is back in the fold, he should be advised to take a stern look with regards to this. Likewise, the RFB, if re-established, should demand a revision of our media dealings. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
