If they want to go to fan-friendly journalists, they should chuck stuff the way of Jordan Campbell at The Athletic and Bruce Archer at the Express(?). Both cover fairly and at the same time ensure sufficient challenge and healthy debate is encouraged. Pretty sure the guy Jordan is one of the preferred journos now.

I'm similarly cautious, I don't mind transfer news being fed to social media accounts. But outwit that we need to be professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe they could use RM for productive feedback and productive critical feedback, or maybe just stick with the Follow Follow for uncensored critical feedback ) And am also aware we need to be ultra professional.

A few such as Gary Ralston break the mould. I can see no other way forward. He can be as bad as the rest. He's the guy after Feyenoord that penned an article off his own back basically begging UEFA to hammer us for singing. I know you know him, Bad Robot but I'm sorry, I stand by every word. That's a prick that does that. Not to be trusted. On another point - if we have preferred journo's who we go to with info, can we not still do that but have them scoop it on their Twitter's etc rather than giving them info to use for their gutter media pay-masters?

Probably building a swing bridge would be the negative opinion, my take is we’ve taken all the bilious poison we can the, truly disgusting racist treatment of Morelos as “banter” is a prime example, and we will do it positively our way. This will not stop the MSM from doing their daily holicom hatchet jobs, but if Rangers fans only get their news this way hopefully it will hit them financially, and I’d love to think that all MSM will be excluded from Ibrox - which I doubt, but in the future social distancing may make this an entertaining inevitability.

British_Empire 9,648 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Also, I get people's points about it being unprofessional to totally block out the media (if that's what this is going to be) but think about it, it's well documented that the tabloids are on their arses so this might hopefully mean no Rangers fan ever has a reason to buy their rhags ever again (if they will get their Rangers news on selected other outlets and people online instead) Which, in turn, might speed up their ultimate demise. I'd celebrate with a few beers over that. Again, if that's what this is and what it turns out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got no time the vast majority of the sports press in this country (a few notable exceptions) but I’m really not sure this is a good approach, outwith signings, fan initiatives etc. We’ve already seen a few, lets say, strange posts that have turned out to be horseshit. Particularly around the Ashley legal action that is not a great look at it. It’s been working well with the mainstream media for the past few years then? Fuck them. They crave stories about Rangers and what might come out of Ibrox. They will still write shite about us. As I said , fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
