Danny 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Against us, as some believe, including Craig Whyte, why did they dedicate an entire series to our club and its youth system? I mean Blue Heaven, of course, and I've never seen anything similar about Celtic, which tbh has probably spawned more players than ours has. Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it? And did these accusations start around the same time as Blue Heaven was made? Just a thought. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Blue Heaven spent as much if not more time on our failed youth talent than it did our success stories. Some of it was pretty bloody embarassing tbh. Manky old caravans in back gardens etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 6,043 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Blue Heaven was made independently of the BBC. The fact that they showed a documentary in 2003 doesn't prove or disprove anything. One needs to look at all the evidence before making a decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 A programme about Celtic youth system and all the questions it would raise even the BBC wouldn't touch that with a barge pole. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Blue Heaven was made independently of the BBC. It was made for the BBC and with full permission by Rangers with full access to our facilities. You make it sound like they just bought the rights to show it. The fact that they showed a documentary in 2003 doesn't prove or disprove anything. One needs to look at all the evidence before making a decision. I didn't say it proved or disproved anything, I was just curious as to why they'd dedicate an entire series to Rangers and our youth system when they were supposedly so biased against us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Has it? I hear nothing but complaints on our forums about our inept youth system, and how much better Celtic's has been over the years. And did these accusations start around the same time as Blue Heaven was made? Sorry, accusations from whom about whom? Just a thought. Not a very clear one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it was pretty bloody embarassing tbh. Manky old caravans in back gardens etc. Some of it was sad, more than embarrassing. Football is a harsh business, and I recall it spent a shotload of time discussing our success stories. But yes, it focused on the failures too, which was only fair. I imagine some of our fans would have considered it a moonbeams propaganda mission had it only focused on the successes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but my point was that it clearly wasn't a "moonbeams" propaganda mission, far from it in fact! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What interest has BBC Scotland got in Scottish football other than to make a 'budget' programme about one of their biggest clubs way back when? Nowadays it's 'Let's rip the shite' out of Rangers Football Club, because we have nothing else to offer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
