WATBB 1,524 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 An experiment was conducted to see how daft/biased the Daily Record really were, and they took the bait, and they didn't just run with it, they sprinted with it. You'll remember their story from the other day about the banned fan "sneaking" back into Ibrox etc, faux outrage filling their story. They've also ran with it again today on the FRONT PAGE of the paper: However... The "selfie" from Ibrox is actually years old (prior to his ban) and a conversation between the fan inquestion and a relative, hours/days before the story went to papers and indeed the front page, has emerged online. It's very damning for the record, and the journalist that ran with the story: Mark McGivern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WATBB 1,524 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 The old board actually got one thing right: Banning the Daily Record.This wee experiment the fan done just goes to show how easily it is to get a negative Rangers story (no matter whether it's true or not) to the front/back page.

kplfishtank 4,665 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Why is the guy barred? Did he get a banning order at football for nothing to do with it? Does that mean everyone who has served jail term should be banned for life from Ibrox. Guy was a dick but that doesn't sit right with me.

Guardian 4,281 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Mr Ticketus will immediately dash off an apology to the DR for bears duping them.Will the DR run with the duped story ?Or will they just drop it now it puts them rather than Rangers in a bad light.I think we know the answer.

The Sun are just as bad but as proved with the Brown story .They are not in bed with the scum .Just yet . I fucking hate Murray for making that remark the other week .It was what every bear would have expected of him .He is a slimy arse licker and bad news if he stays around our club IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean everyone who has served jail term should be banned for life from Ibrox. Guy was a dick but that doesn't sit right with me.I don't remember him getting a banning order but didn't DK ban him after the DR broke this 'story'? As long as its as effective as Sandy Chuggs 4 life bans then he'll be fine.It does explain why he was sat out in his garden looking smug the other day. My in-laws know of him and he's not the sharpest so I doubt he thought too long about the way this would pan out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLaudrup 4,777 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Embarrassing the Rebel aside, this has resulted in our club being on the front pages for the wrong reasons. Don't think it is helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
