ScottBF2 3,540 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 4Lads on Twitter made mention of not being given press access to today's conference. Seems like a bit like shooting ourselves in the foot when the club want us to ignore traditional media sources in favour of more pro Rangers outlets and social media.

BookWorm 4,123 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I would be interested to know the reasoning behind this but doubt there will be an explanation from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 108,842 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Seems the boy who asked understands why he can't go. Why are others angrier than he is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,270 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 If they let one blogger or whatever in then they'd have to let in others and some would be aggrieved at being left out. A shitstorm the club is wise to avoid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'd make an assumption it's because they're under scrutiny and can't start giving free passes to our own, as it could be used against them if it's not our own. Can see both sides of why David at H&H mentioned it, but also why the boy in question is playing it down. More shite for the Club to deal with right now when they're up to their knees in it. Wish we'd all box clever-er... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Why would it be a shitstorm it’s up to the club who they let in, if they said ok mate it’s your turn today someone else gets access for the next game and we can get you back in in a couple of weeks. Job done we look after our own and everyone is happy. Not like us to make a cunt of things though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philiprfc 1,799 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't see why we wouldn't? The tims give press passes out to their fan sites I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I could not care less about this, but your idea would be sensible and save this kind of shite being brought up. I am still 'raging' that they do not have a couple of mics to pass around so we can hear what is being asked. 🤪 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-89 524 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 He didn’t get a press pass because he’s not press... If he wants to do his exams, study towards a qualification in journalism & then apply again, then I’m positive Rangers would be fine handing one out. The club were always good with me when I was going through uni. As much as the sun/record etc are scum, they’re still traditional media & they will be get preference over fan blogs - 4lads understood that in his reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Rangers not giving press access to someone who isn’t the press. Every blogger would start demanding access and would end up in a free for all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,833 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Lets face it, 4 lads is one of the best bloggers. He is accurate, on the pulse and informative. I would let him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 6,289 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Don't know what the big fuss is about to be honest. He seems to get the inside track anyway, I get the feeling it's where H&H get a lot of their material. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go 55 2,136 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Thought for a minute , thank fuck someones grown a pair and banned the lot of them.

If that’s the case then it’s that even lower from the club. Rangers blogger gives the fans news on the biggest fuck up inside the club and they shut the door on him. But happy to let every scum cunt in Scotland’s press write what the fuck they like about us, the players and management staff, but not the directors or cunt of a PR guru.
