Should Gersnet feature on BBC Scotland?

Of course he should go then he can see what they are like at close quarters see the bitterness oozing from them .

Poll not even close 67% of this forums users think it's a good idea to collaborate with BBC Scotland. 

I'm really surprised at this and tbh saddened. 

 

Cheerio

Attempting to state one's case to those with an opposing view isn't 'collaboration'.  

[JohnMc 2,468]

"Collaborate" is a loaded word, Gaspard. Frankie isn't a naive teenager hoping for fame, he's an articulate lifelong Rangers supporter with the best interests of the club and support at heart. Whatever our collective concerns are regarding motives we've all complained long and hard regarding bias and misrepresentation at Pacific Quay. If BBC Scotland then offer one of our own the opportunity to contribute, how can we still complain? Even if our worst fears are realised, it's surely incumbent on us to try and share our view and knowledge to a wider audience? 

 

Change happens very slowly and then very quickly. This might amount to very little, or it might be the beginning of something important. It's surely worth a try either way.

This isn't occupied France but an open democracy.

 

I was merely interested in the reaction to the question and it's interesting to see a 2/1 vote in favour which I didn't really expect. Nevertheless, as it stands, I don't think I'm going to proceed for now. Despite the valid points in favour - not least trying to obtain access to the PQ echo chamber - I'm still uncomfortable.

 

The club have permitted BBC Scotland access again but this relationship remains uneasy and at an early stage. As such, I think I'm going to leave this for the moment and observe their coverage for the rest of the season before possibly revisiting later in the summer.

 

You can stand down.

We won't really know until we try.  

 

I'd start off with 'why do you hire a jumped up Nationalist twat like Michael Stewart, ya set of cocksockets!?' or something along those lines.

Do we have a date and time for this event

They won’t ask again. They’ll get some feeble flower or a pop-eyed halfwit instead. 
 

Much as I favour Gonzo’s approach (see above) delivered by himself or Bill,  if Frankie isn’t doing it, I’d pressgang Uilleam. He’d fillet them in five minutes. The rest of of the programme would be solemn music or maybe Jimmy Shand.

I wish!

But that simply isn't going to happen and make no mistake, from the other side it will be a carefully planned exercise in absolving the BBC from any blame. Only it's their game, on their turf, played to their rules and where they will always have the final say.
