Bill 13,717 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 6 minutes ago, Scott7 said: The counterpart of “rights” is “obligation”. Is bbc in breach of the contract with the league? Depends on the scope given to the broadcaster to elect which matches are to be covered. Are you suggesting appealing to the football authorities who were content to see Rangers ushered into the backwaters of Scottish football without lifting a finger to help us. I think there's every likelihood the SPFL would come down on the side of the BBC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,168 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 No. It’s more complcated than that. Can a single “beneficiary” (ahem) a under a contract made on its behalf and on behalf of others by an agent enforce a condition of the contract where the agent fails to do so? You’d need a squint at the contract before you could speculate and a bag of money. That’s why you’re right about Club 1872. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have people who universally loathe and despise Rangers using their new obligation to report from Ibrox to belittle and ridicule us to another generation of gullible listeners? Or are we going to force persuade them to employ only Rangers fans in future? If they reported on Rangers every minute of every day I couldn't listen to it anyway and I'm a bit surprise there are Rangers fans howling for a return to that sort of anti-Rangers garbage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times does that have to be repeated on this thread? Do you know the length of the current rights contract DMAA? ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you seriously see the SPFL inviting Rangers to bid for SPFL broadcasting rights. Let’s try to keep this in the real world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a similiar situation not be reached for audio output? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rangers had banned the BBC we would be getting the wrath of them over us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
