I wonder if Club 1872 has developed a strategy for dealing with Rangers-related BBC biased etc reporting (or any media bias etc reporting for that matter).     Do they just wait until an incident happens then try to deal with each incident on the facts / opinions of its own case?    What we seem to me to get is reporting bias etc incident after incident with each taken on its own and when the dust settles everybody waits for the next (inevitable) incident and off we go again.

If they are not already doing so maybe Club 1872 - or even better Rangers media team - could perhaps be collating details of each incident that's taken place in recent times and registering the details, including responses and actions taken,  on a website so that the cumulative whole and complete picture is readily accessible and there as evidence for all to see.   Clearly details of the individual incidents could be gathered up by interested persons to get the same picture but if the work was done by 1872 or the Club's media team then there would be a single source of Rangers-authenticated detail of each incident and the outcome.

Why do this?    Well maybe there is significantly more weight to be applied against the BBC if the latest incident is put alongside previous incidents so that the cumulative factual case is visible not only to Rangers, Club 1872 and the Support but to the wider broadcasting regulators and to the wider world.     That way maybe more influence might be applied to cause the BBC to amend its ways and clean up its reporting act for all things Rangers.    

Right now I think we are in a media-dominated 'divide and conquer' way of working where each incident gets dealt with as a single incident with a mild knuckle-rap as a consequence.  Which is no incentive on the BBC or its reporting staff to amend their reporting ways.    They simply take the small hit and move on to generating the next incident and off we go again.

Create the cumulative record, make it publicly available (taking care to avoid libel etc legal pitfalls) and then call up  the cumulative history into the public domain every time a new incident happens.      The sanctions on those creating the anti-Rangers false etc reporting might then become more meaningful and the sanctions against the BBC itself might become far more effective.

Maybe that's all too much like hard work.  Or not in the spirit of past eras of dignified silence.   Or maybe the Club and its media team and Club 1872 would just prefer to take each case on its own merits and let the past be the past and of no relevance to current or future cases.   

You sure you got your views across properly mate?
