ian1964 10,724 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 In an earlier version of this story on the heraldscotland site yesterday it was suggested that Joey Barton, who has been suspended by Rangers Football Club, could take action against the club in a tribunal on grounds of religious discrimination. Rangers has no truck with discrimination on religious or any other grounds and we apologise for the suggestion causing offence to the club and its supporters. http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/14754264.Rangers_need_to_cut_a_deal_with_Joey_Barton_to_avoid_messy_litigation__warns_employment_law_specialist__/?ref=mr&lp=2 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm bowled over with their sincerity. I mean, it really hits the spot, eh? Try firing Braiden and we might accept your 'apology'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibmark 19 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Why even come up with this rubbish though? Since Mojo, we've literally had hundreds of RC players and not one has had any problem yet quarter of a century later we've to believe that Barton might be the victim of sectarian motives and nothing to do with what's actually happened I.e. He's had a spat with MW. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it really hits the spot, eh?Try firing Braiden and we might accept your 'apology'. Spot on barca. A journo suggests a player should pursue a civil litigation against our club based on not one but two complete falsehoods.

Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The only people who've ever talked about Barton's religion (or his family's religious background as I think he's said he's atheist) are Celtic fans hassling him on social media and the Herald and yet it's us who're supposed to have the problem?

StuGers 477 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Did the Evening Times not print this too? Will there be an apology from them? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,570 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Did the Evening Times not print this too? Will there be an apology from them? Both papers are from the same publishers so I'd expect the apology will be in the ET as well. Quite frankly this was a disgraceful slur on everyone involved with Rangers. Braiden and his editor should be ashamed of themselves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Apologies are not enough, once the story is out there it is fact to many. There should be monetary recompense to stop this practice, not only Rangers but individuals who are lied about by the media. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
