Not moaning by any means, thought it seemed interesting that we went down this route though. With regards to the 'press pass' side, we can give or refuse access to anyone we like.

"only union recognised press allowed" and such ..... ironic really that the tarrier press would be running greeting to their "Union" about non union bloggers trying to get on their patch ..... most definitely the only fucking time they will ever recognise the term .... Union ..... Press association is a professional body. I think you are thinking of NUJ (National Inion of Journalists) membership - entirely different.

What rules ????? They don’t have any control over the press either, which is blatantly obvious by what they write. In today’s world the term press conference is dead, it’s more a media conference so every aspect of the media should be allowed to cover it if they want. By all means keep the numbers down but to just refuse someone because they aren’t in “The Press” is laughable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can help but lots of journalists aren't in it. PA aren't a professional body in the manner of a regulatory body. They are just another news outlet. They provide copy to countless others for a subscription fee. Same as Reuters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers can decide if the quality of their site is up to scratch. What’s the first thing we all moan about when the PC pops up? The quality of the questions. So why not let some new blood in especially ones that are interested in Rangers and not just some agenda drive pish, to see if they can raise the quality of the questions. Let’s be honest the standard can’t get any worse. To be honest the whole thing reeks of an old boys club and none of you new riff raff are allowed in.

New Rangers minded blood is always something to keep the interest positive and questions non agenda driven ..... my hesitation lies with the presumption that the questions become soft ... due to being Rangers minded .... and then lose any real insight or purpose. 🇬🇧 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The integrity of the press died some time ago indeed if it ever had any, it has no respect now, that is MSM, especially the Scottish MSM. Time for the Rangers establishment to pick and choose who they want at media conferences, MSM and others. It’s not hard to find out who you can trust for a fair crack of the whip in this wee twisted parochial wilderness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it should be a much more open process to get them. Just now it's basically a season-ticket approach where outlets are given a seat for the whole campaign. The club are really helpful on some stuff and woeful on others. Rangers and celtic are much harder to get in than other clubs but engagement with fan-led media across Scottish football could be much better - and not all because of the clubs.
