Popular Post stewaj3 1,446 Posted January 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2016 This is not good news, they've had a lot of exposure from this. I'd expect due to the level of sympathy that both will have problem getting new gigs. The more attention they get the more they will carry on. I think both have a clear agenda against rangers, that is evident in the years they gave written. I'd have no problem with this if they wrote articles explaining their agenda and what they believe. I just wouldn't read it. Its the trying to pass things off as balanced writing that annoys me. If there is no agenda, where are there positive reports? Where are the reports of the charity work, like the sleep outside Ibrox, the work we do with soldiers, the donations to help Carlisle fc. The positive things on the pitch are also avoided. The other question is why is there no comparison to other clubs? Maybe just maybe Scotland's issues don't just lie at the door of rangers fc. The worst thing anyone can do is get riled up. Let them know we disagree, but leave the abuse, don't get into discussion with them, as it gives them the attention they so badly crave.

Virtuoso 27,180 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 From the Provo loving Greenslade: Quote Two columnists have lost their jobs at the Herald newspapers in Glasgow following complaints from Rangers football club. Graham Spiers, an award-winning sports writer, departed after threats of legal action over one of his Herald columns. And Angela Haggerty, who supported Spiers on Twitter, was relieved of her Sunday Herald column. The Herald’s editor-in-chief, Magnus Llewellin, is said to be downcast at the turn of events in what a colleague called “a toxic atmosphere.” The saga began on 28 December when Spiers wrote a column headlined “Rangers must uphold progress by resisting return of the old songs” (now taken down from the paper’s site). He began by praising Rangers for having “made considerable strides to eradicate bigotry around the club”, with “dodgy songs” having been “put on the back burner.” He pointed out that one particular anti-Catholic anthem, The Billy Boys, had been “put on mute.” But there were “occasional public eruptions of it” and one occurred during a Rangers-Hibernian match on Boxing Day. Spiers, a four-time winner of Scotland’s sports journalist of the year award, then made an allegation about a member of the Rangers board. That prompted a legal complaint to the Herald from Rangers, which culminated in an apology, published by the Herald on Wednesday (27 January): “In a recent column for heraldscotland, Graham Spiers said an un-named Rangers director had praised the song The Billy Boys. He also questioned the willingness of Rangers directors to tackle offensive behaviour, and The Herald and Graham Spiers accept this was inaccurate. We acknowledge every member of the Rangers board is fully committed to fighting bigotry and offensive chanting, wherever it occurs in Scottish football, and that the club is actively tackling the issue. We apologise for any embarrassment that may have been caused to the members of the Rangers board.” Spiers hit back with a piece, also published online on Wednesday, in which he told of “severe” pressure on the Herald. He wrote: “Having searched many avenues to reach an agreement with the club, the newspaper ultimately denied my request to withhold any clarification/apology until my own position was clearer.” He went on to say he retained the highest regard for Magnus Llewellin, “who has tried to resolve this problem.” Spiers, who also writes for the Times and works for the BBC, told me by email that he had “no illusions” that in issuing his statement he was “putting a pile of Semtex under a bridge between me and the Herald.” He added: “I didn’t have the temerity to even think about filing my usual weekly column to the paper yesterday... I do have some sympathy for the Herald. The paper, for complex reasons, became embroiled in a very difficult situation.” Llewellin has come in for widespread criticism since running the apology. The National Union of Journalists issued a statement condemning the fact that the columns have been pulled. Among the critics also was a former Herald political correspondent and leader writer, Robbie Dinwoodie, who wrote a blog item about the matter. After spending 28 years at the paper, he took redundancy four months ago. He was also upset by Haggerty’s departure. Following Spiers’s article on Rangers she wrote a tweet in which she complained about Rangers’ bigotry. She maintains that she was referring to fans, but the Herald considered this to be a reference to Rangers’ directors. Llewellin felt that it compromised the newspaper and Haggerty, a freelance contributor who edits the news website Common Space, was told that her column would no longer be required. In her most recent column, she told of editing a book about Rangers’ financial collapse in 2012 that “led to a nearly four-year long sustained campaign of abuse” by Rangers’ fans. Questions about this issue have been emailed to Rangers’ press office. At the time of writing there has not been a reply. Earlier this month, a BBC sports writer, Chris McLaughlin, was told he was no longer be welcome at the Rangers ground because of objections to his reporting. The BBC retaliated by announcing a boycott of Rangers’ games at Ibrox. http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2016/jan/29/two-columnists-depart-from-glasgow-herald-in-row-with-rangers As for Spiers use of Semtex... Quote Spiers, who also writes for the Times and works for the BBC, told me by email that he had “no illusions” that in issuing his statement he was “putting a pile of Semtex under a bridge between me and the Herald.” Fucking cretinous individual.
