Advocating the banning of any publication is something that marks you as an enemy of open society. A bit strange considering you walk about the forum pretendending you’re enlightened. Then again you cheerlead for the SNP so i’m not entirely surprised. The Nats are book burners so don't be surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withdrawing an individuals media access doesn't have the same purpose as outright banning an entire media outlet. If McLaughlin wants to attend Ibrox he can pay his way in (like some of his colleagues do). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His press privileges have been revoked but his cash at the turnstiles would be accepted so it is inaccurate to say even that baldy turd has been banned.

The reason he is unable to ply his trade covering events at Ibrox is his own inability to remain objective and stick to the facts he is supposed to be reporting. He is to journalism what Neil Lennon is to dental hygiene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We should be beating this side regardless, make no mistake about that. For the 2018–19 season, group stage participation in the Europa League awarded a base fee of €2.920,000. A victory in the group pays €570,000 and a draw €190,000. Also, each group winner earns €1,000,000 and each runner-up €500,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
