dummiesoot 16,007 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This rancid cesspit of a country continues to reach new lows with regard to reporting of serious issues, such as racism. The blinkers stay on full block mode when it comes to Rangers. Not one comes out and says, 'do you know what, this is wrong! We need to do something about it.' Nope let's drag anything to do with Rangers through the mud, sully the name, sully the players, sully the fans. Adults behaving like children to keep petty grievances going. An ailing art form is professional journalism, many of the old ones will be turning in their graves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 109,109 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There genuinely isn't. When you compare what we have to the likes of Guillem Balagué and the boys who do the European football show on BT and even a lot of the guys in the Sunday supplement programme then it's like a different world. Morelos was getting huge plaudits down south for his Europa league exploits and up here he was being compared to gear. He's been called a looney, a psycho, a cheat, a hothead. Yet here is a boy who received one yellow card in Finland. Never been sent off till he comes here. I can't ever remember the boy trying to hurt someone. The treatment of him is utterly pathetic but then again so are some of our support going by the statement thread. Albeit I don't believe two of them in there are Rangers fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There is a severe racist/xenaphobic problem with journalists in this country. Whenever a 'big bad foreigner' takes a managerial job or a playing position from one of the 'local lads' they're on him like a pack of wolves ready set go whenever he makes even the slightest slip up. Obviously this will never be pointed out at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,853 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 There aren’t journalists in Scotland anymore, there are football correspondents. Like @Rfc52 said if you compare the standard of writing and discussion up here to what you get on podcasts and shows like Sunday Supplement then it’s night and day.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Serious journos? Unfortunately that ship sailed about 25 years ago. But what you do have in Scotland is the dregs of what was left of the older ones who were not taken seriously at that time aided and abetted now by a cabal of ex players mostly from the dark side who harbour a hate that they don’t hide of Rangers and willingly bad mouth them every chance they get. Until we hit back this will continue for the foreseeable future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,456 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It really saddens me the way Morelos is being treated. If he played for sellik and was subject to the kind of abuse he's faced I would be embarrassed by it and would hate it if fellow fans were acting in such a way.

All they’re interested in is click bate and they target the Rangers haters as they know they are frothing at the mouth for anything Rangers related. We always knew the truth comes second but they really have ripped the arse out of it all to try and damage our brand all due to their own bigotry.

Bakbear 3,586 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I think people are also underestimating the hatred for Rangers. if Alfredo played for celtic he wouldn’t get any of the shit he is getting as a Rangers player. I firmly believe this. We seem to spend a lot of time pointing the finger of xenophobia but the truth is he is hated because he is good and he plays for us. Reporters, like referees, are shit. Just more shit when it comes to Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
