Uilleam 5,966 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Titter, glad we avoided ridicule with this new approach. There are some things to be silent about and some things to speak up about. Mocked if you do; mocked if you don't. So do it, but do it better. A dog whistle, perhaps, rather than a long shrill blast of an Acme Thunderer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dog whistle, perhaps, rather than a long shrill blast of an Acme Thunderer. Given the level of response we often come up with these days, you'd be as well buying a JCB digger to replace the shovel, instead of paying for 'PR'. Milne has come out of this well because we effectively supplied him with his lines. Since DK became chairman, he has been prone to make comments that make a rod for his and the club's back. This often what appears to be unthinking approach runs right through to 'the professionals' who supposedly look after communications. I look back to see who I believe DK had working PR at one stage (Leggo/prior to regime change) and how the requisitioners of 2013 ran their PR (winging it and asking messageboarders for advice)...... It's not that surprising to see a lack of real professionalism doesn't currently feature. The second part of a double whammy is that if the actual substance of whatever it may be is a car crash. This continually occurs when you are forever reacting to events, instead of better controlling them.

26th of foot 6,119 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Returning from St Andrews yesterday, I tuned into BBC Radio Scotland for the One O'Clock news. As the newsreader handed back to former rugby international, John Beattie; he linked the Sports Bulletin with, "you cannot imagine the levels of excitement in here, with the Europa Cup draw going on in the background". Well, it's his show between noon and 13.30 hrs and if he decides to shine a light on the dark corners of PQ, we should all be grateful. You see PQ's official take on Scottish fitba is, 'Only an Excuse'; Phil Differ pens a thirty year old pastiche, focusing on the octogenarian, Archie McPherson and recently retired, Chick Young. The audience must be presented with Rangers supporters being in control, reinforcing the hate comforts those actually in control. We know Chris McLaughlin, Richard Gordon, Tom English, Cosgrove, ..... etc will not feature. Imagine the levels of excitement in PQ if they did? No, better pen a sketch about Ian Durrant in a kebab shop. Levels of excitement are not extended to license fee Rangers supporters, we are rewarded with a starvation diet. We are not allowed to feast on Richard Gordon laughing his way a fellow Dandy Don assaulting Andy Cameron on the pitch at Ibrox, we are denied the sustenance of Liam McLeod's brother, Rory having a social media full of Ibrox Disaster references, or allowed to snack on Cosgrove referring to Rangers supporters as, "h-u-ns and orange wankers". The nutrition of careful hate is meagre fare, even when Jum Spence and Big Dick serve up the big hate, they know they are safe. Consider, has Big Dick even apologised for, "Edinburgh Zoo have accepted the transfer of Rangers player, Filip Sebo, they plan to exhibit him"? Dehumanisation can be accepted and forgiven, but only if it's leveled against Rangers. Careful John, they'll be hanging an effigy of you in the atrium of PQ. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club is not in a hole, unless it is a foxhole. It is in a war. It may be a war of words, but it is a conflict which it must win. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up what we're up against. It's all down to jealousy, of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
