Mikhailichenko 90 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm same as you mate. Couldn't tell you the last time I bought a paper. Good luck with unitted front. If this past year has shown anything it is the many fractures in our support. Turning out in numbers and putting our hands in our pockets isn't a problem. It's the things like boycotts or which supporters group to back that seems to be the trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy millar 107 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 JT is spot on.If sales of this shabby little rag plummet,they will change their tune big time.Said it before,do not give your money or support to media organisations who wish us harm.

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've been saying that for years - deny them the oxygen of publicity, it's what every journo fears. I can't see that happening though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see that happening though.That's the crux of it, making it happen and deep down I think you are right, but need to try and start somewhere.

Guest Andypendek Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 These calls will only work when an alternative platform is in place to satisfy Rangers fans who need updates daily about their club.And even at that, only if those platforms (online, TV or radio) are willing to ask awkward questions and is more than just a mouthpiece.We the fans can't actually do it by ourselves.

Stoorie 1,088 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't buy the papers or give their sites any hits but, we can NOT just ignore the hatred coming from them. I get my info on Rangers forums and the occasional look on other fans forums, and listening to RC radio or the bbc online.Vigilance should NEVER be neglected.

BRICKY1872 118 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I stopped being the Record and Sunday Mail years ago for various reasons. I get the majority of my new Rangers news from here to be honest. I don't need to read it at 7 in the morning on the way to work and even if that was a need I had the sad truth is that most of what I was reading would be bollocks anyway. Why would I pay for that?

Ed i said i worked in the rebel building last week and what i was told was an eye opener for me .The guy who Im obviously not going to mention on here incase of lurkers told me the Rebel, Sunday Liam is 75% /25 rodents and the sports dept is 95% scum lovers.The most bigoted being Craig Swan being the worst which was good to know.I would love this statement to be the catalyst for ALL Rangers fans to unify in this matter at very least.Ban talking and mentioning no mark bloggers and start having more trust in our club .The biased media is creating more division amongst our support and too many are buying into the shit written.Try very hard NOT to buy any of the papers esp tabloids .Scan or skim the headlines but DO NOT purchase.Like Jim says it will hurt the offending newspapers .Every bit of news we require can be found on here and from our club site Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped buying papers years ago. I used to get the old Glasgow Herald or the old Scottish Daily Express. They were decent papers which gave you facts and you formed your own opinion. The Herald has long since lost me as a reader with biased reporting on sport and politics. Now the red tops and one in particular, print utter rubbish and promote it as fact. "A source told us" or "we understand that" is in the papers almost daily. Not a shred of evidence to back it up. I complained to BBC Scotland about their biased coverage of all things RFC and Ken MacQuarrie actually cited headline from the DR as one of their points of evidence. Honestly, if the DR says it, it must be true!!!!As for the BBC in Scotland, I switch it over. I'm fortunate to have Virgin cable so I can watch the "British" BBC without the parochial nonsense. Same for STV/ITV although STV have been far less anti-Rangers than BBC Scotland. Channel 4, I never watch it. It's only recently I found out anything about Thomson including that he exists.I haven't listened to Radio C**** since wee Sanderson left along with Richard Park. BBC Radio Scotland is another station I totally ignore. I usually tune in to one of the mainstream stations from down south. Far better balance and more professional.Frankly, I don't miss any of these media outlets. I get all the information I require from mainstream UK sources plus RFC web site and our own forums.
