Radio 4 Well well well a positive slant?


Gossie gers

Recommended Posts

On the way into work this morning at about twenty to six they had the sports bloke on with various summaries of the weekend sports and after talking about the English footy results went onto say "and Glasgow Rangers on their way back to the top flight in scottish football are now 8 games unbeaten" no other mention of scottish clubs, just the Gers. Bloke sounded good and positive in his tone of voice. But then this is for the English audience. Did cheer up an otherwise drive into work in the fog down here on the south coast.

I listen to radio 4 every day. They only deal in real news items and not gutter journalism. Rangers often feature in sports and also economics.

No biased agenda only facts. They had a field day over HMRC fiasco. However womans hour sucks balls!!!

When did this 'Glasgow Rangers' come in? I'm sure up to a few years ago it was always just 'Rangers' down here (south) - QPR were just, well, QPR... no problem, but they weren't 'Rangers'..

I have always known the term to have been used here and there. It's not really a big deal. The term is used usually with the acknowledgement that we are Rangers.

Fair enough, as you say no big deal. I support West Ham and I've never have called QPR anything but that (well, a few other terms perhaps). Rangers were the guys who played Celtic and others up north

I quite like the phrase The Famous Glasgow Rangers. I've heard people say they support Glasgow Rangers. I think Rangers is the club's name, and being called Glasgow Rangers in an informal throwaway way is no problem really.

Spot on - just a relatively new usage to me (and I don't actually like QPR at all...) but no problem as you say. In fact I'm sure there are some songs about the famous Glasgow Rangers that others probably know better than me....
