You’re a sanctimonious prick who seems to think he’s better than other Rangers fans. I’m in the ‘position’ I’m in to write about Rangers. I do that. A lot. That’s what got me to where I am. It’s what I’ve always said I intend to do. If you’d rather do something different then by all means go ahead. Sanctimonious like telling someone what they should do in their job? Certainly don’t think I’m better than Rangers fans. A Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 2 minutes ago, cushynumber said: Ok, so the gist of the argument would then be - if you have a small number of images, why use that particular one of him in a shirt that he never played in? 1. the Rangers top makes it "relevant" in scotland 2. they have purposely used this particular image to associate the club with a negative headline 3. both. Given recent treatment of the club, its easy to see why people go for option 2 or 3. 1 I can accept and is almost certainly the reason that the picture was taken to start with. Could be useful in the future with transfer stories etc. If it was just about relevance though I’d argue they’d have just gone with that picture rather than the ‘collage’ type they used (or at least that’s how I would have) 2 is nonsense imo. I asked someone about it earlier but they dodged it, but I’ll ask again, would you associate a story with celtic just because there was a pic of a celtic top? Say the Snoop Dogg picture in a celtic top. If he released a mega album and there was a story of him becoming the biggest star on earth, would you associate that success with celtic just because he’s pictured in a celtic too Use that particular one because it appears to be one they own.

Bears 792 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 It's better to keep your mouth shut, @The Dude, and let people think you're ... The amount of time spent defending a really weak argument could have been donated to one's employer by at least doubling the DR's stash of free Eboue pics! And if Eboue, or anyone else so tenuously linked, was in a DR (etc.) photo wearing a celtc shirt I would never expect the story to show him in a negative light.

The answer to your second point from someone who knows nothing about Snoop Dogg or what he does, is, on seeing such a picture my first impression would be, he’s a filth supporter, second impression, what has it got to do with celtic ?

Why would he bother buying more photos of someone that has featured in two stories in the last few years? Seems a bit unnecessary. When celtic fans think it is out to get them and is a pro-Rangers paper and Rangers fans think it’s out to get them and is a pro-celtic paper then I think the lack of impartiality claim is much overplayed. It can’t be both pro-Rangers and anti-Rangers at the same time as being pro-celtic and anti-celtic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point being none of us would expect a celtc shirt and a negative story unless unavoidable. A number of posts in this thread document the fact that the DR et al. happily employ any tenuous link regarding Rangers and a negative story. The fact that you seemingly don't see this points to this problem being utterly endemic in Scottish journalism, or just a prerequisite to getting a job.

HuistraHairDo 12,489 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Eboue was Fired from Sunderland, hmm....
