This thread is now running into for a fifth year and it's time to remember as Rangers supporters we pay our license fees to receive a service from BBC Scotland.

I don't want to discourage your posts but I wouldn't be surprised to return in five years to see that nothing has changed.

 

The general approach of complaining about, or mocking, a double standard will not make one bit of difference.

 

The only way to get value for your money is to stop paying the television licence.

"PS Just for the record, I think I and most others on here, have got the (repeated) message about the "quick fix" solution of not paying the licence fee. Thank you. But, for some, it runs a bit deeper than that."

 

The choice is between quick-fix and no-fix.

 

What to you mean when you say it runs deeper?

BIG Dick is Pig Sick.

 

Saturday was the usual, Big Dick hosted, 'Open All Mikes'. Thus, all Premiership and Championship grounds hosting a fixture had a BBC Scotland reporter with an open microphone providing; a match preview, team news, score flashes, updates, a half-time report and, a full time report. All grounds except one, Ibrox. The vast majority continue to pay their BBC License Fees and receive a lesser service. It amounts to whoever is het, sat on the naughty step watching the live TV feed. Big Dick announces, 'Whoever will be right across all events at Ibrox'. In reality, we receive team news, a thirty second half-time report and, a similar timed full time report. On Saturday, it was Rory Somebody.

 

Of course, the PQ Dandies were all glued to the TV feed, including Big Dick. The half-time report was a dirge from Rory, Aberdeen were defending stoutly, Rangers were huffing and puffing. Full time was all about the goal, Rory thought two things; Bassey had perpetrated a clear foul on Aberdeen player, Calvin Ramsey and, there was a question of offside. Big Dick then does a run down of results and throws in a bit of colour, ie scorers, club position in the league as a result, incidents to look out for on Sportscene. Big Dick decided John Beaton was the fulcrum, "Rangers supporters will be unused to some of his decisions today" and, Aberdeen will certainly have a couple of questions over Roofe's goal".

 

Big Dick then got quite hissy over Alan Preston's quip about Aberdeen retaining tenth position in the Premiership. Big Dick's favourites last visit to Ibrox saw Big Dick take to his Aberdeen Press and Journal column to castigate John Beaton for awarding Rangers a penalty when Don, David Bates grabbed Sakala's jersey and pull him to the ground. Like his team, Big Dick only spits venom on three or four occasions per season. Sportscene proved Jonathon Sutherland does the same. He is another Dandy host determined to frame discussion on shown highlights in a Northern Light. He echoed Big Dick and Rory by introducing two questions, the foul and possible offside? Both questions were quickly dismissed by the panel.

 

It's a determined effort, Jim Goodwin continues to shout offside and Bates is in today's newspapers proclaiming, "you don't get the big decisions at Ibrox". Is this all to mask Aberdeen are tenth in the table and Scott Brown is in a huff and wanting to leave Pittodrie? Maybe Big Dick will tell all in this week's P and J column? Oh, and while his snout is in the game changing trough, he might want to comment on Assistant Referee, Frank Connor's contribution last week at Ibrox(two flags for Morelos) and yesterday at Livingston(awarding a corner when Ralston handled the ball over the line for a bye-kick)?
