Fred H Crawford 1,182 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hopefully the club & the various fan groups , can use their contacts in themedia to challenge the make believe currently being used as a stick to beatour support, while conveniently deflecting from the activities of others.Highlighting this should be the least we as a support deserve.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 “Viewers outwith the Old Firm must hear about things like this and be totally baffled.” so not offended then - just baffled?It takes away the opportunity for jobsworths to phone in giving it "I was watching the match and have reported instances of sectarian chants to the police". If they cant hear any, they cant report any. Additionally, if the SPFL official fails to report any and no arrest are made - and no-one can say otherwise as it now cant be heard on the telly - then theres less room for the press to get all moral on us.

Bakbear 3,580 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Viewers outwith the Old Firm must hear about things like this and be totally baffled.I am totally baffled.People out with Scotland will be completely at a loss as to why anyone feels the need to move mikes so that singing cannot be heard. There really is very little wrong with the songs and apart from the permanently offended, most sane people know that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,513 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 BT didn't cover the cup game so he has a point.but they would have charged others to use their audio stream of the game....... it would not be specific to BT Sports.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Not sure what sanitised version of the game these guys think exists anywhere else, but i am sure that any viewers in England won't care about words that they can't make out in songs they don't understand.

bears fan 259 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The same article also mentions sectarian singing, hate songs and banned songs by Rangers fans while Celtic fans were heard singing 'offensive' chants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky True Legend 2,682 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 "Hate songs' I prefer "Love songs". Love of our club; love of our traditions; love of our Queen & Country. No wonder the Biased Broadcasting for Catholics and Broadcast Tims hate us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I heard swearing at BT's coverage of the Livy v Hivs game, no apology, I'm pure offended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Andy Murrays never done swearing during his matches. All Mark Petchy does is say "sorry for the language you may have picked up" and thats it. I dont even know why he even feels the need to apologise for someone elses swearing - they are a broadcaster - not the moral guardians of the viewers.
