.Williamson. 77,858 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Club 1872 has received confirmation that a complaint regarding Tom English’s comments on our statement about the crushing at the Kilmarnock game has been upheld by the BBC Executive Complaints Unit. We’ve been told further information on any action taken by the BBC will be communicated to us shortly. We have not received any public or private apology from Tom English despite the BBC acknowledging his comments “went beyond a reasonable expression of professional judgment”. We will shortly be updating our members on this and other ongoing correspondence and complaints regarding BBC Scotland and their coverage of Rangers and Rangers supporters.

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Will it stop the BBC printing lies about our club. Will they heavily censure their employees for blatant lies. Will they demand that articles are verified before going to print. Will the BBC strictly vet all journo stories. Not a hope in hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I had a complaint against Michael Stewart upheld for his comments on Sportsound the day after the game. That’s now 2 individuals from the BBC who have been censured for effectively calling Rangers fans who were crushed trying to enter a football stadium, liars. Just let that sink in. It should be fucking headline news across the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it went to the ECU it needs to be published I think, is that correct? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 29,495 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 He’s a complete idiot. Its astonishing that the BBC keep him on. His reporting is awful.

Allegation front page banner headlines, apologies if any page 17 one paragraph at the bottom of the page that few people see, what you say is correct and gives journos carte blanche to publish what they want because they will have the get out of a meagre few lines of an apology.

Jakes Pal 5,056 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 How many upheld complaints will it take before some really High Heid Yin in the BBC realises that there might, just might, be a wee problem with some of their staff at BBC Scotland and their interpretation of fair and impartial reporting?
