gunslinger 270 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 To readerseditor@<No links to this website>Hi,I notice you have a story and headline claiming a Rangers fan was the first to be convicted under the new Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012.This is completely incorrect and very inflammatory as a simple check would have revealed that in fact two Hibs fans have this dubious honour.I would have to wonder at the timing of this "error" following the old firm result. Was this lazy journalism or plain simple bias ?I look forward to seeing some sort of retraction and apology.This sort of stuff will ruin your paper.[Copy of Hibs Fans article here] Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1873bear 192 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Two wee scenes that made me chuckle on Sunday before and after the match.1. A group of about ten Rangers supporters following some Police outside the front of Ibrox and chanting: "We are not sectarian!"2. On the M8 from Glasgow, just before Paisley in slow traffic from the perpetual road-works, a car swerved to run over a Cletic scarf that had been dropped on the motorway - seconds later the driver and passenger were high-fiving and laughing. Bernadette and Declan in the car behind were going apeshit. They obviously didn't get the joke.I was in same traffic heading through M8 roadworks taking my wee one home to her mums in my works van and tarriers on a bus were blessing us & generally abusing us for wearing colours,.... I know its not good parenting but i got my wee yin to write BJK on my a4 notebook & show them, they were going ballistic...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconicman 8 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Dear Editor,I note your online article:http://www.<No links to this website>/news/scottish-news/2012/03/27/rangers-supporter-becomes-first-fan-to-admit-offence-under-new-football-hate-laws-86908-23803054/You are factually incorrect to state that a Rangers supporter has become the first fan to admit offence under the new hate laws, a simple search would have resulted in the following story:http://www.theglaswegian.co.uk/glasgow-news/news/2012/03/14/glasgow-sheriff-court-first-to-convict-under-new-football-offensive-behaviour-legislation-102692-23787819/You'll note it was two Hibs fans who have the dubious honour of pleading guilty under the new laws. I question your lack of editorial diligence in this story and wonder if it has anything to do with your dwindling circulation figures.I look forward to a retraction, apology and correction to follow.Regards, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's a joke that in a recession we're giving out cautions to young guys for calling them 'paedophiles' which will in turn reduce their employability. The police in this country are a fucking joke, is it any wonder nobody trusts them or has any faith in them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police in this country are a fucking joke, is it any wonder nobody trusts them or has any faith in them?Not all of them. Where I was sitting in the enclosure on sunday, down near Copland end, when Sone scored one cop jumped so high his hat came off.As for the peadophile chant, I cant see whats wrong with it. Their club & sect are steeped in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky_ 893 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 some of you are wasting your time emailing the daily record.i emailed them once years ago, when the fillled up printing space about a photographer who captured a full iceberg (above and below surface water) because the angle of the light from the sun + the calm ocean water made it possible, or some nonsense like that. This is the picture:given my line of work, i could tell at first glance the image was fake. The bottom of the iceberg, which would have been very deep underwater, was reflecting sun light, it was exposed to light as much as the top of the iceberg. An even bigger giveaway was that the sides of the berg underwater didnt match-up with the top. And is there a lense even capable of picking up the entire thing without being miles back?After reading it, i knew straight away it was a load of pish and wondered if the DR editors were really that stupid, or if they were just desperate to fill some space. (im 100% convinced its the later).Anyway, i emailed the clowns with a couple of links, such as this one: http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/iceberg.asp which disproves their "story".never got a reply.it sums the Daily Record up though - they will literally print ANYTHING, even photoshopped images of icebergs that they can fill column space with Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's aimed at the lower IQ's who have trouble with big words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
