CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 BBC Scotland's flagship teatime show 'Reporting Scotland' has just finished their top story of the day - the tragic murder of young Blantyre man and Celtic fan, Reamonn Gormley.Yes, it's Rangers-related.His attackers plead guilty in Court today - one of murder and the other of culpable homicide. They will be sentenced at a later date.Both of the attackers were Celtic fans - indeed the one convicted of his murder (an RC as it happens) was shown posing wearing a Celtic top with a Celtic poster at his back on the wall.Strangely......both club images were blurred in this report.Neither BBC Scotland's reporters, Jackie Tart (in the studio) or Reevel Oldperson (the outside broadcast reporter) could bring themselves to mention the words 'Celtic fan' when speaking of the killer.The claims by a senior police officer at the time of the murder were, "We can't rule out a sectarian element in this attack!"He (Plod) had no reason to say this - he was, as the Yanks say, "just spitballing!"BBC Scotland reports at the time repeated this allegation - inferring a Rangers-related link.Neither Strathclyde Plod nor BBC Scotland have since withdrawn that assertion - not even in today's report where pictures of the Celtic-clad killer are staring them in the face.At BBC Scotland they can't help themselves.......And some on here think we get an even deal from BBC Scotland?

Whyte N McKay 17 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, lets not forget a young man has been murdered here. When those sorts of facts don't change the Modus Operandi of two of the countries major institutions then nothing will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 it is sad that the initial claim by the media and the police about a sectarian crime came out when from the outset they knew it was a robbery went wrong.heart goes out to the young guys family and lets hope the 2 scrotes stay in prison till we are on 75 titles at least.

Meanwile on Sellic tinternet land, they are claiming institutional bias from the BBC yet again as they showed the murderer in a Sellic top. "Of all the hundreds of photos they could have picked, why did they pick one with the hoops on when it had absolutely nothing to do with football"The joys of the Old Firm land.

stuartm 7 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Where were the initial claims about it being sectarian? The BBC website has 5 related stories, 6 in total and NONE have any mention of a sectarian attack. If you google "parkville murder sectarian" there is nothing saying the police thought it was sectarian.There are quotes in most newspapers saying that there was NO evidence of a sectarian attack.

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 @ canadian bacon , both stv and the bbc made it perfectly clear that the scumbags that done this were celtic fans .No they didn't. Watched both channels - STV said "he went to the same school" and BBC Scotland said nothing of the sort.I'm sorry, but you've misheard if you think you heard either channel mention the word "Celtic fan".
