They should have been sued. It was complete fabrication and showed an undeniable bias against Rangers then you complain about them showing Tyson in a Rangers top, which just looks like mental paranoia (even if you maybe do have a small point it's that far fetched it looks insane) and that devalues the legitimate claims of bias against us that we have even if it was some taig who went "here use the pic of him in a Rangers top" who gives a shit? No one apart from insane people would see that as any link between Rangers FC and cannabis farms This is coming from a guy who's name and face was posted all over certain papers a while back under the term "bigot Rangers fan" when my conviction had nothing to do with me being a Rangers fan and the judge even made that point during the trial. So I'm not the type to say we're all paranoid lunatics its just we need to think about what looks like paranoia and what's a legitimate slight on the Club or fans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the biggest scandal of the lot . It is not reciprocated when the scum visit Ibrox , where they can swan around the back of the broomloan and do whatever they like I’ve not been treated by scum off them there in all honesty they were quite good with us the other day when there was a bit of a set-to i was wrongfully attested there one times years ago but generally I don’t think they bother with us there in fact seen a steward try to hand a guy over to them for arrest that attempted to skip in and the polis laughed and let him go the only copper I’ve had an issue with in donkies Years was Easter Road the other week that tried to come the cunt over a can of beer but even his own colleagues were embarrassed by him he said he was invoking some by-law regarding street drinking so pour it out I went to put the can in a bin and the followed me going ballistic threatening to book me I told him to do it then as I’d rather pay a £40 fine than let anyone speak to me like you are, I gave him both barrels and he turned away from me in the end - grade a cunt and an obvious fenian my issue isn’t with a lot of the coppers themselves - a lot of them are nothing but respectful with me it’s their decision makers at police Scotland that are scum who dance to the SNP’s tune Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s legality in the UK has absolutely no relevance to the story. Rangers top could be any number of reasons. Library photo with rights owned by Trinity mirror meaning no external payment for use, or it’s a way to tie the story to something ‘local’ which if also used in social media thumbnail/cards will more likely catch a reader’s eye than a random picture of shitloads of weed/Mike Tyson. Would be the two obvious ones to me. If I was to write a story about Snopp Dogg tomorrow for any Scottish newspaper I’d be almost certain they’d use an image of him either in front of a Scottish landmark (if such a photo exists) or him in a celtic too (that one does exist). It’s a lazy way to give a tiny bit of familiarity to a story about something happening thousands of miles away Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Record already owns the pic with the Rangers top or have rights to use it as they have used it in the past they may or may not have the rights to the pic you refer to and the article you keep referring to is a positive article in general so I dont know what your big issue is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
