Good on 4lads for having the integrity to step back from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 No sure what to make of that tbh. First thought was "look at me look at me" Regards the conditions, I think there still has to be some regulation from Rangers in regards to writings. Within reason. But to flip it, with Robertson's dictatorship comments last week, the framework by Rangers laid out to guys like him might be quite toe-the-line, write what we say or don't come back. Wouldn't surprise me, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,688 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I wouldn't read too much into that. If you have a media badge representing the club, you will have to adhere to certain rules at every club. The boy just wants to watch and support the team he loves without the hassles.

rangersross 6,530 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Seems fair enough. Plenty of things become less fun when you transition from 'amateur' to 'professional' with all the rules, limitations and expectations that come with it. I admire the club's pivot to fan media but, ultimately, we still need to get more control of our relationship with local traditional media, as bad as it often is.

That was my thoughts as well, David Edgar was a bit gutted as it is his pal and was looking forward to a working relationship and according to him no conditions have been laid down, i like all the HandH guys as they are all straight talkers and their thoughts pretty much mirror mine.

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Fair play to Stevie. Wondered how long it would be before the first one told the club to fuck off, and deservedly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the club liked him saying Young-Coombes was away either since Edgar came out and denied it. Levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those being fed information from the club need to ask themselves two things Do we trust this information is accurate Are we comfortable passing it on to the fans Given the utter nonsense they told folk about the Sports Direct stuff, as an example, they are either oblivious to the fact the club lied to them or they are happy feeding the fans lies/propaganda to keep their access. There are countless examples of it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Id say it more so to do with them being restricted to times and schedules rather than the club telling them what to print. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,579 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 He's probably been told by the club that we are resigning Windass and he has to write a positive story on it. I'd fuck off too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo1872 4,065 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The problem with fan media is the ones in charge of the outlet like to keep access to their perks, such as attending behind doors football and event invites and freebies etc. So eventually, end up like scottish msm and toeing the line.
