Connie is actually a St Johnstone fan, seems she doesn't care what the kids wear as long as sugar daddy Chris keeps her bank balance rolling
You know what Nacho mate? I don't mind Chris McLaughlin supporting celtc. Really doesn't concern or bother me what team any pundit supports.
What really is the problem is the complete and utter disdain that this horrible human being has for Rangers and our support.
He hates us. His colleagues hate us. They think this is normal. They think this is perfectly acceptable. They have been brought up with this huge burden of hate - passed down through the generations. It weighs on their minds every second of every day. It affects there behaviour in every way.
Hence the removal of his press privilege's through his complete failure to hide that overt all-consuming hatred.

Agreed mate, Chris Sutton is a Celtic fan, but at least he's consistent bashing both Rangers and Celtic when they are in a bad spell then praises the two when they're doing well (caused a Timplosion on Twitter the other night praising Gerrard and the boys for going through
) but with McLaughlin the head of the largest company in the UK regarding news/sport for Scotland, it is really worrying how biased he has been. Even Spiers, was once a good Rangers man and fairly balanced journalist, then when the events of 2012 began to unfurl he jumped ship to Celtic which I find mindblowing.

It really is not about not needing them it's the fact we are obliged to fund them.
I don't think there is a good part of the BBC down south ready to sort this farce out, they have been made aware umpteen times of the warped situation existing up here and frankly couldn't care less.
I think we need to as suggested get all the evidence of the BBC Scotland's onto one dedicated site, whether this needs fresh funds raised or a boycott of the license fee is considered as a means to raise funds I think we would be able to raise a fair sum.
What would really please me then is if we hired some trackside boards to direct viewers to the anti BBC site if the club would let us have the boards beside, behind and around the Rangers bench.
I think if we picked an ITV game we would could get excellent coverage especially if the Rangers staff made sure they tried to get the boards in as many shots as possible, combine with a crowd display and maybe even asking Stevie G to invite Radio Merseyside and giving an interview where he makes clear the absolute hatred he has been subject to by the BBC Scotland with support from BBC London, SG actually saying the biggest obstacle he faces in doing his job is the venom being directed at him by the supposed neutral, publicly funded, lying, incestuous, sectarian BBC
I think people would take notice of that.

He was a normal journalist pre-2012, something turned him against his club.
He's been slagging us off for decades. I don't think he even likes football but he's a fan of them.

?David Murray is on the back foot?..at Rangers, by general consent, the sectarianism is worse than it is at Celtic??It was an experience that reminded me again of how widespread and malignant bigotry at Ibrox is??It is folly, not to say a cultural disservice to Scotland, to denounce O'Neill for what he said this week?..Rangers, in particular, have a major problem with bigots?.
?Compare and contrast their shameful behaviour with that of Celtic, who on the road to Seville last season, represented Scottish football immaculately? (I suppose they did, if you don?t include the stabbing in Seville, the riot in Blackburn, the Provo banners, the booing of Porto as they lifted the trophy, planes being diverted to Cardiff etc. etc. etc. But why let the FACTS get in the way of a dig at Rangers eh Graham?)
I think Spiers has made it very clear how he feels about US the supporters? ladies and gentleman, but what?s his views on our club?

?Nor can I recall Rangers being disparaged in 1972 when they won the Cup-Winners' Cup; a tournament which, by definition, was painfully inferior to the European Cup, indeed a prize which many placed third in the list of Europe's club baubles behind the UEFA Cup.?

?Please can I be spared any whining from Rangers over this and other criticisms?? ?(Rangers) the most paranoid club in Scottish football?.
Fair to say he?s none to keen on our club either! But what does he say about our biggest rivals I hear you ask? Surely in the interest of neutrality and parity, Celtic are afforded the same malevolence?

?Celtic, though, as a football institution, quite rightly remains a symbol of Catholicism. The Celtic strip, as famed and proudly known around the world as it is, still cannot be divorced from one of its cultural parents, which is the Catholic faith.?

?Even high-brow Herald readers, hauling their noses away from such works as Jacob Bronowski and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, may have noticed the palaver that is being planned by Celtic supporters in time for Sunday's slaughter - erm, I mean match - against Rangers at Parkhead.?

?I repeat my main contention: that Larsson's contribution to Scottish life and culture, via the game of football, has been immense. In a sordid football age, his role-model status has also been impeccable.? (Deliberately breaking Gus MacPherson?s leg aside presumably).

?Following Sunday's win at Ibrox I met one Celtic player, a man I remain a great admirer of, and whispered to him: "I fear for some of the alcoholic carnage of you lot over the next few days, it's been a long wait." He smiled and looked at me with rivulets of anticipation dribbling from his chops.?

?In one of my favourite magazines, The Alternative View?.. the shockingly good magazine, The Alternative View??It was with great joy that I received my copy the other day of The Alternative View, a genuinely enjoyable football magazine of a Celtic persuasion?..the excellent Alternative View, a new mag set up by my old malapropic mucker himself, Matt McGlone?.. After 36 years of unchallenged success, the Celtic View at last has a commercial rival?..If I tell readers that Matt McGlone is the brains behind this venture, you may well share my intrigue?.. a Che Guevara figure among the fans who helped ease Fergus McCann into place?.. I have seen the first edition of The Alternative View, and, I must say, it looks very good. (This is just some of a number of plugs he gave for his bigoted mate McGlone?s failed Celtic magazine in the pages of the Herald).

?Lennon's symphony is music to my ears - My sporting highlight of the past week must be the moment when I was called upon to break the news to Neil Lennon that James MacMillan, Scotland's most distinguished composer, had written a piece in his honour. It is always a minor joy catching up with Lennon.? (In fact Graham loves ?Lenny? so much he excused him his spitting on a Rangers scarf and mouthing ?orange bastards? to the Rangers support. A strange stance for an individual who has propelled himself to the forefront of McConnell?s anti-bigotry campaign wouldn?t you agree?)
?Celtic have a moral right to this league? (on the day before the 2003 title deciders).
?35,000 Celtic fans singing The Fields of Athenry made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up? (Seems Spiers likes the ?tottie famine, rebelling against the Crown? ditty. Compare and contrast with his viewpoint of Follow Follow above)
WARNING: Please have a basin handy prior to reading the next quote.

?I must admit, if I ever fulfil my ambition of having a very splendid private dinner with O'Neill, it will be the one question I'll certainly get round to asking: ''Why were you so horrible to us over that new contract saga?''

Rangers have not banned any BBC reporters from Ibrox . Press credentials were withdrawn from McLaughlin following inaccurate reports regarding Rangers which prompted BBC Scotland to stop covering Rangers games at Ibrox and now it would appear that they have extended this lack of coverage to European games in spite of the fact that that Rangers away to Maribor in commercial terms was by far and away the game that would attract the far bigger audience they chose to cover Molde v Hibs , there can be no doubt there were ulterior motives behind this decision .
Put quite simply if the choice of coverage of the these two games was to be on a commercial voluntary pay per view or in this instance pay per listen rather than being dependent on an indirect tax there would only have been one game being covered .
Basically Rangers fans who pay their license fee and are dependent on radio coverage for updates on Rangers games are being short changed .
Maybe it is now to time consider an organised boycott of the BBC by withholding the license fees

He really is a sleezy individual. Pompous slimy bombast.
He should be very wary of the refreshments he drinks when socialising. He is hated so much for his biased take on all things Rangers - I am certain that Bears serving him would joyfully gob in his cup. Oh yes! Certain, I am.

What will the 'hate filled' and negative coverage be like today one wonders?
Well actually, one doesn't really.

A lot of podcasts have been mentioning the impasse between Rangers and BBC Pacific Quay CFC over the past couple of weeks. It feels as if there is something in the air - a change of stance by us or them perhaps.
But something has to give and I've been banging on for years that they get away with murder because their on-line news articles are usually always anonymous.
The haters get to hide behind the BBC logo. This is why they get away with such slanted and skewed reporting. They can demonise us with impunity because we have no recourse - aside from waiting for weeks when we repeatedly complain that they have broken their own charter.
A headline tonight annoyed me and it's far from the worst example, but annoying all the same.
Kenny Miller: Dundee striker disappointed at Rangers red card appeal.
Rangers red card. FFS. Why do they insist on finding the negative slant every time they concoct a headline? That's rhetorical by the way.
Ok it's a poor example I know, but perhaps they would be less inclined to twist the narrative if every article had to have the reporters name against it.
Can the Club make a legal challenge to force the BBC to include the name of the writer on every article they publish about our club? Can we use copyright law to force them to do this in future? Is this feasible?
It would certainly help us ensure parity if every article was going to be attributed to an accountable name.

Don't want to start yet another thread on this lot. So bumping this to see if anyone can answer the last post above.

How delicious would it be if we were the only Scottish team left in Europe after the qualifiers. Do you think DK would throw open the famous blue gates and welcome them back into the fold or would be tell the BBC and Gollum to feck off, despite their pleading.
Edit: Just for clarification. My preference would be to have them stand on the roundabout with microphones and selfie sticks trying to get a peek over the gates.
Nope, there should be a writ from Rangers to all Rangers fans telling them how to go about avoiding paying the license fee.

I really don't think so.
I think they would be allowed to protect the anonymity of their staff unfortunately.
The way I see it though is if they have the gall to print some of the stuff they do, then they should have the balls to stand by it.

I can't see the club being able to do anything about this unfortunately, but I said a few weeks ago on another thead that this is something the government might have to look at in the future.
It's not just the BBC; Record online, Sunsport online, etc. they're all at it. There's a little matter called accountability that's getting lost in their internet publication translations and in this world of 'fake news', I just can't see this being able to continue without some sort of legislation.
However, looking at it another way, surely they can't claim these articles aren't the view of the paper, given it's published in their name and not an individuals. Therefore I guess they are accountable rather than the writer. A dangerous game that in my opinion.
