Gaffer 1,665 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I just received an email from Club 1872 about complaints they have made to the BBC and IPSO. I'm hoping someone else can post the text here for wider review but I'm very pleased with the way this organisation is operating. I've been very critical of Club 1872 in the past (and will no doubt have further issues in the future), but I think they're doing a great job on our behalf. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,415 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 IPSO and BBC Complaints Dear Member Club 1872 would like to inform members and the wider Rangers support that in the past day or so we have submitted several complaints to both the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) and the the BBC Trust. These complaints are regarding the coverage of the final result in the ‘Big Tax Case’ and also the recent decision of the SPFL to draw a line under the calls from Celtic and other vested interests in Scottish football to further penalise Rangers for use of an Employee Benefit Trust scheme. Some of these complaints are for lack of accuracy and others, specifically regarding BBC Scotland, are for what we consider to be biased reporting in favour of the previously mentioned vested interests. These reports are in our view designed to misinform and prejudice the general public against Rangers and have contained none of the balance required of the BBC. We hope and expect these complaints to be upheld but do not envisage having a definitive outcome to any of them for several weeks or months as we work our way through the complaints processes. With respect for those processes we won’t make any further comment until the outcome is known. It will not surprise anyone in the Rangers support to know that the IPSO complaint is for an article which appeared in the Daily Record newspaper. We would like to thank the Rangers community for the fantastic support we have had for our #ChangeTheRecord campaign. We intend to continue this campaign into the new season and hope that more and more Rangers fans are becoming aware of the need for us to fight for fairer coverage for our football club.

Gaffer 1,665 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I wonder if there's an additional complaint to be made to the SPFL regarding their use of "unlawfully" in their statement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 We should have kept the rfff monies. Indeed we should. I made a considerable donation to the Fghting Fund and I sure as hell didn't do it to build a bloody shelter or whatever it was. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in retrospect that money should have been kept until the title stripping crap was behind us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
