I wouldn't say they are our friends, but our "enemy" would be the BBC, those are the ones we have banned from the ground and punished. The Record is almost an irrelevance, they are dying on their arse and make their money from digging at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said long before I wrote for them that I don't buy there being an anti-Rangers agenda across the media. There are some bollocks writers who can't wait to take a shot at us - quite a few of them tbf - but there's no editorial agenda to demonise us.

magic8ball 27,901 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 58 minutes ago, The Dude said: That's the basic jist of them. Moderates don't really get clicks and you need to be ever more controversial to keep outdoing the others. As much as people like to piss and moan about it, sadly its a trend being driven by what readers react to. If people didn't take the bait every time then guys like Sutton etc who exist more to ruffle feathers than offer meaningful insight would quickly vanish. I suppose this will be the future of journalism now .Controversial as fuck .more clicks .more wages. while back in the day when it was a written hard copy all stories were in one publication and there was no way of ever knowing how many folk read what articles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that BBC HQ down south haven’t yet sussed the fact that the most successful team in Scotland are treated like lepers. Might take a trophy win to get Shearer/Lineker/Crooks up here and realise how half the footballing population are being shortchanged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly with an ex pro's brother in law and this is 100% what he is asked to do. Say shit that creates a lot of clicks and general bedlam. The pro in question has already more than made his money so I just wonder why the fuck does he need to do this? Putting it down to missing the spotlight and the attention.
