buster. 5,264 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 22 hours ago, buster. said: Podcast from Monday night continued the relatively new 'Ignore' tactic regards Rangers winning games and now being a strong second place (14 points ahead of 3rd). They did give serious time to talking about McGregor's red card and slipped in the name of Morelos in relation to bad discipline. Fair enough, to feature the McGregor red, but not to completely ignore that we've achieved to put so much distance between us and 3rd place. Last week it was focus on the two penalty decisions and not mention the performance/increasing gap. Two weeks ago it was just completely ignore our result and performance. #Pattern You contrast that with the coverage of 'the race for second place' when Aberdeen and Kilmarnock were in touch and the delight they took in inferring that Aberdeen's four 2nd places was a new natural order of sorts. It's as if they've pulled the last episode of a mini-series and just forgot about it. But they did find time to pose the tabloid question of whether we give Celtic a guard of honour. #EditoriallyTakingthePish They also featured Steve Clarke and his MOTY award, fair enough. When mentioning his lack of Cup success, they said that Celtic had won the two trophies and didn't mention Alfredo Morelos with two hat-tricks* and that Rangers had put them out of both competitions. Strange, given how keen they are to bring up the fact that Aberdeen put us out of the Cup competitions #EditoriallyInconsistent To be editorially fair myself, I have to say the programme gave a surprisingly short feature on Celtic. * it was actually two x 4 goal haules, with the first having a wrongly disallowed goal (No prizes for guessing what PQ said or didn't say about it back in the day). For PQ, it's not Alfredos goal stats they are interested in. A wee add-on to the above post that didn't occur to me the other day. It didn't occur because of the lack of coverage or in other words, the 'ignore tactic' tends to work. It was the media reaction to what Derek McInnes said about sectarian chanting aimed towards him from the Celtic support. Reaction may not be a good choice of word, granted. Mr.BioMechanic has been big on Strict Liability on certain occasions Sportsound made it their main mission after what Steve Clarke said but as 26th pointed out very recently, they aren't so keen to cover it now. But thinking of PQ (specifically Sportsound Monday programme) and Editorial Consistency, the almost blanket coverage to ZILCH, takes some front ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,761 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Dear Dick: Are You OK? Most of you who have had the misfortune to listen to BBC Radio Scotland’s, Sportsound programme will know who Richard Gordon is. He has presented the show for more years than anyone cares to remember and has regularly allowed his love for Aberdeen FC, and his obvious dislike for Rangers, to severely hinder his ability to do his job properly. In short, he’s really not a very good presenter but he’s in with the bricks at BBC Scotland and hating Rangers is excellent for your chances of advancement at Pacific Quay.

Obviously, 'Rangers supporters in dressing rooms' is the current currency in the Gang Hut. Given the location of PQ, I suggest we begin a thread entitled, 'Tales from the Riverbank'? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be trial by Sportscene still to come re Flanagan,after all it's the only thing they can highlight in their quest to mitigate the failings of their heroes.

If you look at the replay for Tav's free kick I think when this guy attempted to head the cross clear he froze his own keeper long enough to prevent him from reacting once the ball had cleared the other defenders. It looks like the goalkeeper thought Edouard was going to clear the ball and he gave up on his motion to the back post, you can see him trying to re-position his feet when Edouard misses the cross, and when the ball dropped like a stone he was too late to catch up to it. Hell, even Stokes and Hooper were better than this guy Edouard. I hope they keep him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
