Sick and tired of this

[gmcf 34,152]

How long are we going to put up with the shite coming out of our national press before we take realistic action  ?

In the last few days we've had apologies from the herald for giving a platform to someone claiming that Barton could claim religious discrimination , we now have the record apologising for a report about Rangers fans obstructing the police at the cup final . 

The reality is , the damage has already been done . Apology or not , time tells you mud sticks , however unfair , or in our case how blatantly false it is . It damages our brand and with it , potentially , much needed revenue from sponsorship etc . The very fact these papers are now offering apologies tells you that they know they're wrong but still don't give a damn. 

I think it's about time we took these people to task , and by that I mean straight to the courts . Why not bypass the demand of an apology . Go       straight to the courts for defamation and loss of potential sponsorship . Better still , and I've no great knowledge of this , but instead of going after the press , why not go straight to the individual involved ? We all know the usual suspects , and I'm pretty confident ,mwhen it's personal , these guys aren't as brave as they would be without the umbrella of their employer . 

All fine and dandy , dishing out bans and seeking apologies , but time to get real and look to the courts and maybe , just maybe , these guys will think twice before seeing us as a route to stardom to the masses in the esst .

One way is that the club could threaten to sue ORRRR make the press run a front page apology for two days if not lawyers letter it is.

Winning in court doesn't have the same effect as a reversal of the original story as above unless they are told to run the front page.
