Read more here: https://club1872.co.uk/news/club-1872-statement-on-bbc-scotland-2/ Seems to reflect how BBC Scotland have went about their business concerning Rangers over the last few years. I am also of the belief that the head of BBC Scotland ‘Donalda MCKinnon’ is stepping down in the Autumn, announced Earlier this month. We can only hope the new incumbent is an non-politically motivated professional who has the ethical integrity to see what’s been happening here and the mental strength to deal with their ridiculously biased sports department appropriately...

Darth Bear 15,048 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 This has not received the attention it deserves probably because of getting to the last 16. Talk about calling out the BBC and questioning licence fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 30,559 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 That statement from C 1872 is good, but my question every time I read one of them, is why is that not coming direct from Rangers ?? If it did it would get for more coverage than it does form C1872 and also the BBC would be more likely to take some notice of it. Unfortunately we are weak as a Club and I see no prospect of that changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it is the case that the SFA would fine us on some trumped up charge. Let C1872 do it for the time being. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let C1872 do it for the time being. I think IF we were clever enough with how it was written it might not, but then we are Rangers so they would probably just find a way to do us. I just find the C1872 stuff well meaning but totally toothless in making any impact, but it is what we have because that is how the board want to play it.

I agree mate, but no chance it will change while we have the people in charge at the moment. Yes we certainly do and no Morelos. ☹️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
