This could get Andy Walker and Crocker sacked, but will anyone from our club take up the mantle? 

Sickening. 

Apparently the excuse given by sky is that Walker never heard what was being sung. I think this suggests otherwise.

No they fucking won't because it is all just accepted these days. The way that the taig-minded have infiltrated and taken control of our country's media and governmental infrastructure is breathtaking and soul-destroying in equal measure.

Any Bear from the 50s or 60s transported to present day would be amazed at what this country has become tbh

Right so this week alone we have had one set of fans,

1. Hit a player with a coin while subjecting that player to sectarian abuse due to his perceived religious beliefs.

2. Break hundreds of seats and have a mini pitch invasion.

3. Attack a elderly fan of Kilmarnock.

4. Sing songs glorifying a prescribed terrorist organisation both at home and abroad.

5. Video a what looks like a 5 year old boy singing about a Rangers employee being a orange bastard and 'hoping he dies' while around about 100 adults sing along and egg him on.

6. Fans group claim that they fire bombed a Rangers pub in Spain with pictures showing fire damage to the pub.

7. Fans filmed throwing bottles and chairs and even (strangely) shouting sectarian abuse at Spanish police resulting in arrests.

8. A fan arrested for possession of Crystal Meth in Spain.

9. Graffiti in the town centre calling supporters of another team 'H** Scum' (a weekly occurrence these days).

10. 3 supporters arrested for sending a ref abuse after their team lost a game.

We have in the same week had another set of fans,

1. Sing the 'cheer up' song to a opposition manager once.

Guess what has caused the bigger media and political reaction?

Nobody in this country can claim with a straight face that there isn't a media or political agenda against one club and its fans.

Nail on head.

summary: McGinn of Villa calls Dikamona of hearts a Grass because he tweeted about a nasty tackle by Tansey of st mirren.

The Bbc  reference Lee Wallace - why the need? 

“Just a jokey reference to Lee Wallace” 

That's a shocking tackle as well, and an article that is so bad the reporter hasn't put his name to it. 

it sums up a lot of what's wrong with reporting up here. I think the "grass" tweet from mcginn is very crass, and to make a remark about Wallace and making a joke about it shows the BBC agenda is in full swing

Our fans need to starve your Stewarts,Suttons, Sportscence etc of any reaction from us.

Dont watch Sportscene ( it’s utter shite anyway) and don’t react to anything they post online. 

Nothing is going to change - they will continue to spout their drivel while our fans keep them relevant - don’t react or interact with them.

It's a tricky one, and one that would normally make sense. But, we are at the stage where they say what they like with impunity and some of it is actually slanderous. There has to be a point where we push back. 

I think there are also enough Rangers haters out there who will revel in it and keep them relevant.

correct .the Stewart's and Suttons of this world are only there to provoke reaction .if we don't react they become irrelevant and unemployable

Watched Sportscene last night (to see our goals - missed the pen in real time - and to see the atrocity committed by Motherwell) and could not believe that Stewart and Thompson spent as long debating the evil singing as the actual highlights package itself. Thompson made a feeble attempt to include the scum but we were soon back on big bad Rangers.

Blatant, overt hate-filled bias.

Bastards.

My BBC complaint is in.  10 days to get back to me....

 

Quote

 

The post-match analysis of the Hamilton v Rangers game focused on Rangers fans behaviour, in particular chanting and banners they deemed sectarian that targeted the Kilmarnock manager.  This wasn't shown during match highlights and no evidence was presented.  Despite that, it was passed off as factual by presenter Michael Stewart who announced they had a duty to "call it out"

As a Rangers fan I’d love to see this eradicated from Scottish football, so I was dismayed at the report and horrified that it needed bringing to the country's attention in a football highlights show.  I researched the incident and what I found worries me.

1.  Fans didn't sing what was alleged.  The offending word "Fenian" was replaced with "Greetin".   Listening properly and verifying with people who were there confirms this is what was chanted.

2.  The “offensive” banner read "Get Well Soon Steve Clarke".  What’s the offence?

Worryingly Michael Stewart passed this off as FACT.  

If “calling out fan behaviour” is the editorial direction Sportscene are taking, then they must do so with facts.  It must not focus on one club (because it isn’t) and they should seek guidance from competent bodies who understand the issue.  Such bodies (and clubs) should be consulted before broadcasting.  This CANNOT be about opinion or twisting facts.

Last nights report left viewers believing this happened, when a little proper journalistic research shows it didn’t and Sportscene shouldn’t have broadcast what they did.  Someone has jumped to conclusions; some might call it lies or an agenda, I’ll be kind and call it amateur.

As a publicly funded broadcaster the BBC has a duty to be accurate and impartial.   The BBC really need to apply journalistic integrity on such a sensitive subject in this country.  Sportscene should withdraw the report and include an apology directly to Rangers fans for factual inaccuracies.  Michael Stewart could deliver this on the next broadcast.
