Amokachi 3,050 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I often listen to Clyde 2 where the hourly news report will have a wee bit about the footy at the end. Without fail the newsreader (usually a female) will refer to Rangers as ‘they’ or simply ‘Rangers’. However when that mob are mentioned, there’s a noteable upbeat change in the tone & words like ‘the hoops’ or ‘the celts’ are introduced. Find it quite petty & amateurish. eejay the dj and Negri's lovechild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the fact I'm, on the whole pretty positive about most things Rangers. If you don't believe that there's literally thousands of articles (and a few podcasts ) to back it up . this IS part of "the media" but we'll let that slide. Yes you're right. Although I don't read much of your paid stuff (or anyone else's) what little I do see of your football writing is generally pro-Rangers. I should have been more precise with my assertion, so I'll admit I got that wrong, and refine my assertion somewhat: The media has an anti-Rangers agenda (or a pro-c*lt*c one, or maybe a bit of both). For proof of that, one need look no further than: Rangers fans destroy kid's sandcastle versus Kid gets in the way of bottle-throwing man in green. Your agenda, as I see it, is one of trying to ingratiate yourself with "the media" by picking fights with Rangers fans over their choice of non-footballing traditional values, I guess to show yourself as more liberally enlightened than we knuckledraggers, but that is just a guess. As I see it, The Fans ARE the Club, so in that sense I see you as anti-Rangers, and with the second point, I see you as a lackey of that anti-Rangers, pro-c*lt*c media. And you are still a disgrace.

I don't expect that anyone in "the media" gives a flying fuck what my views are on "non-footballing traditional values." It's certainly never been omething anyone has ever mentioned to me in any way. So disagreeing with some Rangers fans on issues - by your own admission - are nothing to do with football - makes me anti-Rangers? I think you massively over-estimate these sort of places. Nobody outside Rangers media gives a fuck about anything that happens on here. The idea that 'picking fights' can help ingratiate myself with the media is utterly laughable and as ridiculous a claim as Eeejay thinking I get paid to post here. You're seriously losing it. This is proper tinfoil hat shit here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now are you ready to admit that only the OP indicated offense at the football story appearing in the OPs Rangers stream, and that you were wrong to accuse "people" of being offended, or do we need to ask jb and cb themselves whether they were offended by it? And will you then call them liars? Do you not see the damage you do yourself by refusing to admit your mistakes. Especially a mistake which is so blatantly obvious to anyone who can read and competently interpret. or shall you ever be a disgrace? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't answer, because I failed to comprehend the question. I still don't comprehend the question, and I'm officially good at English. Are you asking me what CB is complaining about? He's complaining about the general situation described by jintybear. He is most definitely not complaining about the OP's experience. Nor is jintybear. You are 100% wrong if you assert that any of the posters you quoted were bemoaning the OP's experience. They had totally disregarded it and were having a different conversation. Why can't you just admit you were shit-stirring without fact-checking. 17 hours ago, jintybear said: We can all laugh and be faux offended but see to be honest it is starting to get beyond a joke. They are making our brand seem less important than them over the city. Neutral people actually watch/read BBC and when headlines are always negative about us and positive about them then people do tend to believe it because it mostly goes unchallenged. We should be complaining about it because as the OP said they are supposed to be neutral. 17 hours ago, Courtyard Bear said: Straight out of the taig playbook, tell a lie often enough it becomes fact.

Siam69 26,987 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 17 hours ago, ForeverAndEver said: If you read what is in the article you'd know why it's at the top. Like the OP, I've the settings on the BBC app set so as to show Rangers as well, and other stuff i'm interested in such as Northern Ireland news. When I first seen the headline to the 'story' a few days ago, I was also a bit taken aback. But then when I read the article I realised why it was there, the Rangers connection in it. Thought no more about it until I noticed this thread just now, and the OP stating, and I quote, 'this is a new low' Obviously 'new lows' will all be relative, and the OP is entitled to his opinion, but I find it kinda headshaking stuff here, myself ... Haven't read the rest of the thread, but that it's made 8 pages I also find kinda headshaking. I'll not put myself through reading it, as I can see myself cringing quite a bit ...

It's really not a difficult question. Are you really so poor at reading comrehension? Do you really think that the "it" she is referring to is the football boot story, or is it the general situation, which she describes... "They are making our brand seem less important than them over the city. Neutral people actually watch/read BBC and when headlines are always negative about us and positive about them then people do tend to believe it because it mostly goes unchallenged." Would you like to place a bet on whether she is complaining about that or the OP's streaming [edit: I mean news feed] experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
