cushynumber 25,178 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm all for people furthering their career, but the Daily Record dude? even you must have thought "anybody but them" given the reaction to most of their recent articles from members on this forum? while I realise that earlier you stated that you werent all that fussed about the opinions of anonymous people on a forum, it must have occurred to you that some see this as sleeping with the enemy? or cant you admit that publically now you have accepted their 50 pieces of silver?

Pretty much reiterates what is discussed on other forums ... but to a wider audience which now includes the unwashed .... some of the hyperbole is sickening .... one being the comparison to PC's time with us to date and Brenda's early struggles in Europe are enough to turn any Rangers fans stomach ..... totally irrelevant unless PC was also at the helm for us in Europe. The overal content is bland and does nothing to solve any problems at Ibrox .... all it does ... (and I think this is intentional on your part Dude) .... is now give the filth the platform to agree with all you say and negatively comment on it ... and as usual increase that negativity against our Club. I very much doubt what you have written will change anything whatsoever .... other than peoples opinion of yourself and not in a positive way .... click bait is all this blog is to further your "career" ..... shameful ... not brave at all. As said above .... I wonder if you will be allowed to print negative blogs about the inner workings of the scum across the city .... and unless you have a fireproof armour plated contract with the retard .... I doubt you will be employed with them for long. The comments page will be hoaching with accolades from scum supporters ..... how proud you must feel. ?? Nothing any blogger writes is going to change anything at the club. The filth have no more of a platform to comment than they have anywhere else Ive written (or on here where it's also hoaching with them). Why would I write blogs about their inner workings? I've no interest in writing or reading about them. If you do then there's plenty others who do exactly that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,933 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I can see where you're coming from to a certain extent, Dude, taking a "better inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in" approach. However I can't help thinking you'll just be pissing into the wind, we will never get anything like parity of coverage from that gutter rag. And I've felt that way about it for at least 30 years. rbt1548 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

writingranger 1,399 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 For all my opinion is worth, there's nothing wrong with the article. In fact why isn't Burt in the squad? Maybe it's rehashing just a tad & I'd like more of the in depth insight of john Jeremiah Sullivan or Jon Ronson, but it's not an easy place to carve out a niche. Stay true and find meaning beyond the immediate, Dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills need paid, food needs bought, rent needs paid. If they give me a fair platform to publish my stuff then I've no real complaints. They allowed me a subtle dig at KJ and his 'ignorance of football outwith what's broadcast on Sky and BT' People may view it as sleeping with the enemy but the same folk aren't the ones paying my bills. What I do find funny though is people moan about not getting fair coverage from the papers. They give me a chance to do that (which I feel I've shown over the last 4 years I do consistently) and folk still moan.

You're probably right but I can only try. The shite we've read for long enough is the reason I decided to give this a go in the first place. I've grown up reading the same one-sided shite we all have and decided I could do it better.

Yes, but should we just let it continue? Have all media in Scotland biased towards the tarriers and do nothing about it? Do you think if the DR was full of Rangers fans that it would still be biased towards them? Course not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
