Have to say it’s a personal insult/insinuation that demeans our Captain. There‘s no mention of Rangers FC so it’s personal and unless he’s got some evidence to back the remark up then I believe your spot on.On Scottish Radio it would probably fall under Scots Law which would make it defamation under ‘The Defamation and Malicious Publication (Scotland) Act 2021’
Have a read and avoid appearing to have no clue.
Yep. A wannabe soul boy and casual. He would no doubt be on his toes when the Dundee fans used to dish out regular kickings on their trips through to Perth in the 70’s/80’s.
Done.Every single person condemning Cosgrove on this should complain to the BBC. It takes 5 minutes, no excuses.

Complaint submitted and confirmation receivedI don’t hear off the ball very often however on the occasion I do hear it in the car, Cosgrove always has a dig at Rangers at some point in the show. He is a bitter bastard.

Having heard that, Cosgrove has no defence whatsoever. @David Edgar Can you pass that on to Richard Gough if it’s not already in his possession.
I think he will know now that he’s made an arse of it, be interesting if he does apologise, but it’s allready been said. Hopefully King Richard has instructed his lawyers.I think they might be on today as well. Think I caught that when I was checking yesterday's show on i-player, I don't normally listen to their shite.
I would be shocked if there's any apology, I really would.
It's disgraceful.
It wasn't a joke Cowan was suspended for. It was a stunningly misogynist piece (see link) in the Record where he suggested that Fir Park be torched to 'cleanse' it after the Scottish women's team had played there...and there was plenty more jaw-droppingly hateful stuff in the article. Still genuinely stunned that this hasn't finished his career. It was only ten years ago and he's still showing his true colours in recent months bleating about sexism being a one-way street...in favour of women that is. If it was down to knuckle draggers like Cowan women's football wouldn't be going through the boom in popularity it's now experiencing. But as he explained afterwards he can't be sexist as his maw and wife are women. And we're supposed to be the bigots.
I do know Gough arrived at Dundee Utd as a kid feom SA with baggage of this sort.
His team mates helped to realign the boy.
A Roman catholic simply can't be a socialist.Don’t be fooled by Cosgrove and his ‘hail fellow well met‘ patter.
A sinister, highly political and manipulative individual.
He is highly intelligent, a class one socialist hypocrite but very well educated and for decades was a very senior executive with Channel 4.
His motives in appearing on “Off the Ball” have always been questionable to me.
Could be wrong, maybe he wants to be on hand to quell any comments on him being arrested at Perth Railway Station for football hooliganism.
At least I think it was him, apologies if I’ve misremembered.

The thing that gets me about all these Scottish right-on lefty types in the public eye - pop stars, actors, columnists and the likes of Cosgrove - is how none of them speak out about segregating kids at the age of 5.A Roman catholic simply can't be a socialist.
It's the biggest 'shettleston' propaganda out there, peddled for at least a century now.
When you want all power given to one man, both temporal and spiritual and one faith, it's the opposite of socialism.

They're really quite happy with sectarianism as long as the coverage is one-sided.
They certainly don't have any problems with apartheid in the Scottish education systemAnd who's to say Cosgrove or any of his pals were against apartheid?
Yes I got a complaint reference number.also just a reminder for those who have or will submit a complaint - remember and verify your email so the complaint is sent to them.
It asked me to verify my email, so I imagine it will for others.

It's just the utter p1sh I object to.The RC Church were up to their neck in the over throw of democratically elected Chilean President Salvador Allende and his Socialist Government.
Be good if they could also enlighten those on this thread who have no idea what the comments were.Hopefully someone can enlighten Richard on what was said.
He does it down the pub he gets his c--t kicked in.They can brush it off as a joke - plenty of Rangers fans have as well. However, it's not funny in the slightest and these kind of digs at Rangers and our ex-players/staff are a regular thing. He wants to make comments like that down the pub then fine, batter in. He wants to do it on a national broadcaster paid for by the public, perhaps not so fine.
Complaint logged
that would be a good watchHe does it down the pub he gets his c--t kicked in.
Richard Gough could “do” him if he has the appetite.Cosgrave insinuating Richard Gough is a racist, he should be done for this, but we all know he won't.
My email says they’re still waiting on more info, delaying tactics from the mhanky bstardsI've received an email saying my complaint is being forwarded to a relevant team. Or words to that effect.
it's pretty standard when they get a lot of complaints.My email says they’re still waiting on more info, delaying tactics from the mhanky bstards
Might be a good sign. Could mean that they are busy dealing with a number of complaints. Bit late but I'm going to send one in tonightMy email says they’re still waiting on more info, delaying tactics from the mhanky bstards
Very funny and interesting?I think some of the stuff about solicitors is not going to happen. The best we can hope for is an apology and a reprimand from the BBC - make a complaint if you feel strongly about it.
I like Off the Ball, Cowan in particular is very funny. Cosgrove can be quite interesting but the fact is he hates Rangers and his comments were beyond the pale.

In my west end days, it was "You are a good guy and every Rangers fan I've ever met has been brand new but as a whole, your fanbase are bigoted neanderthalsnon RC Rangers haters are bizarre . They've been told to hate Rangers but not entirely sure why
