Danny 0 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm keeping out of all this, I find it messy, troubling, and slightly disturbing. But it does bother me that UK Rangers fans outside of those who attend Ibrox will be denied coverage on radio for home games. I feel this ban is too blanket, and that Whyte should have allowed the BBC to continue their coverage of our matches because he's now isolated those who don't go to home matches. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 0 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm sure you can get radio coverage throught the official web site,no? Yes, but not everyone will be happy to pay for it. Plus it also covers TV games too on the BBC. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Muck-mud - same thing? Probably, just never heard of the term 'muckraking'. I saw someone post on Facebook about being disappointed with the statement, saying it lacked dignity and class. Others seem to love the 'fightback' and support the whole thing. I personally think it's getting very messy and I don't know if I agree with the club that the BBC is biased against Rangers at all. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,663 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 I agree muckraking seemed a bit out of place but I guess it reflects the club's anger on the issue. FWIW, I doubt the ban will go too far because our contractual commitments to live coverage. However, the fact the club have had to take action twice in one season with regard to BBC Scotland, shows they are quite right to take strong action. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me Danny whither you call it bias or agenda, there is something very wrong about the coverage of Rangers when it comes to the BBC. And if this makes BBC London sit up and take notice of what a cesspit pacific quay has become it will have done it's job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the subject matter. Tax case or just hammer Rangers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
