Popular Post markem 7,238 Posted May 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2018 3 separate Headlines I’ve seen this morning. 1 - A player being called a fenian bastard. Implication we are all bigots. 2 - The Neely story. Implications are obvious. 3 - The SFA Charges. Iplication we are cheats and the consequences could be including massive fines and we can’t sign players. All 3 headlines this morning. Coincidence? Is it fuck. After 8 months the SFA apply those charges last night. After how long that Neely story is regurgitated and the MOH story thrown into the mix. I’m not going to take apart the individual stories, anyone with a brain can see what’s going on with all 3. It’s so obvious. Over the past few weeks there has been a huge shift in the positive press we have been receiving (mostly if not exclusively beyond our borders). High profile English journalists talking positively about our club, on a fairly consistent basis. Yet here we are this morning with our very own ‘3 Billboards’ - a blatant attempt to shift the narrative. Bad Rangers - stay away, disassociate yourself. The club cannot allow this to go on and token retaliation statements isn’t enough. If we do not have a PR team able to represent us in what is a PR war then we have to get that in place at whatever cost. There is a genuine propoganda machine very effectively attacking us and the impact of these types of headlines should not be underestimated. Wake up Rangers. We have to fight back. What I’ve said here isn’t anything that the majority of us haven’t been saying for some time however it’s time, it really has to be. backup, govananter, BloodRunsBlue and 37 others 40 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayWilson 3,269 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Unfortunately we have jim traynor as head of our pr, a man more interested in his own personal vendettas than he is in defending Rangers. Sack him and appoint someone who is actually interested in carrying out the job he is paid to do and we may get somewhere.

Spot on... dignified silent approach has failed ... it's time to involve ourselves in fighting fire with fire no matter how dirty it gets on the PR front... let's remind these cunts who are the real shame of Scotland ... what is our board worried about ? What is there to lose its time to fight back ffs we as a support and club are being vilified at every turn... No more Rangers.

I think we have a real opportunity so start to control the Narrative through the English press. Does he have the relationships, motivation or interest to do that? I know many will say I’m overestimating the English MSM interest in us and our game however I honestly believe the Gerrard impact gives us that opportunity.

I think it's just to distract from them being linked to another case but I'm well aware fuck all will happen, their grip on Scotland extends to the Police and Government, what chance do we have mate Unless we release a statement pushing for an independent investigation into the on-goings at every Scottish club, to the point they're tracking hush monies, joining dots that have never been mentioned etc AND we contact journalists who work down south who investigate child abuse then it won't get more than the usual hush hush It's a shame because I genuinely can't fathom the sort of person who would openly choose football, Scottish football at that, over countless children being raped, you've people on here saying we should look into the story about us this morning, yet it's a nothing story, never mind if we had those kinds of skeletons in our closet, scummy fucks. It's up to Rangers now whether we have the chance to uncover it or let them bury us for god knows how long Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted May 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2018 Time to take the child abuse investigation out of the SFA’s hands and give it to an independent panel outwith Scotland. I don’t for a minute think any investigation is going to go deep enough or hammer those truly responsible.
