GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was not expecting that. Fair play to you, a lot of folk will not give in on here, even if they're presented with irrefutable evidence on any subject.He's talking about a jim traynor article concerning the Osasuna game....Not sure why the Leveson enquiry would apply to any of these stories, maybe the OP is confused Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Atheist 178 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've never, ever, ever seen any newspaper claim that about the bouncy. It was fat Jim Traynor on the Beeb, i remember him saying it.Although i should point out i believe the 'ongoing demonisation' is highly, highly exagerated and that fans of other SPL clubs could provide a list of examples about how they are being demonised too. My view is thats the media for you. If they get an inch they'll take a mile and they dont care who its about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Atheist 178 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hmmm....Hmmm what?I heard Jim Traynor say the Bouncy was in reference to jumping on Catholics heads on his radio show a while back and if you dont want to believe me thats fine. Its possible, by the way, for people to air their opinions more than once.. (if you saw it written somewhere else)Do i think he was talking nonsense? Yes.

Blue Atheist 178 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That was Gerry Mcnee It may well have been actually. My mistake if thats the case. My initial point was to confirm to Jimmy it was in fact claimed on the radio a while back and wasnt a baseless claim by a Ger, not that i support the demonisation theory.

DavidCF2 29 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I doubt it very much, although would like to see it stop. One thing I would say is that I wouldnt be surprised if Rangers employees, past and present have had their phones hacked especially when you consider the stories which have come out which really should be kept inhouse. I have a hunch that a certain blogger based in a country which shares a land border with the UK has been hacking phones to get his 'stories'. Just a hunch but I would be interested to find out whether the club has taken steps to establish if phones have been hacked into.Seeing as absolutely nothing he has ever written about us has been correct, then Id doubt that very, very much.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 I very much doubt the Leveson Inquiry will have any effect on the club. The inquiry is about press ethics and privacy ie about how journalists go about getting stories, not so much about what they write.I'm afraid you are wrong.The inquiry is delving into how information which has been gained (by whatever method) is twisted to demonise people like Steve Coogan, The McCanns, and Hugh Grant...to name but a few.Some of the (lack of) ethics being discussed are very similar to the smear tactics used against Rangers, and against those associated with Rangers.Scottish newspapers have already been pounded during evidence (Sunday Mail and The Herald in particular). It doesn't take a genius to join the dots between these papers demonising the likes of Diane Watson to satisfy an agenda, and those at the same newspapers who want to demonise anything to do with Rangers for their own agenda.
