Rangersfansmediawatch 1,055 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Lets get something cleared up here... It wasn't the club or club1872 who took them to task,It was ordinary Rangers fans who made complaints to IPSO, If they hadn't done so there would be no apology and no retraction.

You should know the last professional player in Britain to have suffered the punishment. You do realise that this could mean one game, one month or any other time scale, don't you?

George Goudie 42 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Not sure what to think about it. An apology seems a bit empty and achieves little, but it's hard to get a meaningful resolution from such a situation. Perhaps a rule that if we don't get the same coverage for an apology or retraction that we did for the falsehood story, then we don't deal with that outlet? You want to print a front page story which is false, you can print a front page retraction too or we won't be giving you a second of access to our staff.

As it means without date, you can ask/apply for the suspension to be lifted at any time. Any other meaning ascribed to the phrase is misuse, usually by people trying to appear more intelligent than they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think this apology should be PRINTED. An entire back page article apologising to the club and fans, and admitting their wrong doing is the only way to add any substance to this. The whole of Scotland needs to see it, not just the Rangers fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno's Manbun 2,631 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Seriously folks, I'd urge everyone with a twitter account to take to the Daily Rhecord and voice our disgust at this pitiful 'apology'. Could you imagine if it was the filth, they'd be breaking the internet in their putrid stench soaked hordes until something more acceptable is done. Yet I search Twitter and find only a view Gers fans/groups voicing their protest. It's no wonder they do it again and again, we make it so easy for them. Time to speak loudly and be heard.

I reckon we have too many fans for whom th DR is like a drug and they must get their daily fix. Sad but true. Must have clicked on their site about twice or three times this year. It's like a cross between the Beano and a social media portal. It contains ridiculous links and has no news content, not even newsworthy. Fans need to stop buying print copy and giving them hits. For those needing a daily fix, I'm sure we can setup a 12 step program to wean you off the rag. Club needs to withdraw all press passes and cooperation.

Absolutely, they should be shamed for the nonesense they print to try and harm our club - and make no mistake, there is no other reason that story was printed than to do just that. And they make a direct and silent apology to the Rangers board and that's it? All is forgiven? Playful knuckle on the chin then on your way you wee rascal. If this is our response then the bottom line is it will continue to happen. Same with that Gerry Braiden of the Herald who falsely vilified our club claiming that Barton was being a victim of religious discrimination. It's fucking disgusting and the only way we stop it is to ensure the media outlets responsible make a mense which is equal to the henousness of the spiteful shite they publish. If they want to harm our club and the only punishment is a quick letter to the board saying "Ah yeah, sorry about that." And we accept it, then why would they stop? It's like stealing a Porsche and only having to give the fag lighter back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger77 742 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Question for those on here that know the law around brand integrity. Do the club have grounds for legal recourse against DR for damage to the Rangers brand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I don't see much gain from 'whining' at the DR to print an apology, I'd go back to the IPSO and get them to demand a printed apology is forth coming as well as making a very strong statement about the 'professionalism' of the so called journalism who wrote the lies. That I feel would highlight our displeasure more than moaning about what we all know, the DR is a cavern of bigots. PS, anyone needing their daily fix of the DR, or any paper, just get along to the library for 10 minutes, that should be long enough to read any of the shite they print about us.
