   Well done  Club 1872....

Club 1872 has been informed by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) that we have had a complaint from April 2019, about an online article in the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, upheld by their complaints committee. We are delighted with this outcome as it brings to a successful conclusion over twelve months of work, during which the Daily Record and Sunday Mail fought our complaint at every stage.

The complaint centred around an online article regarding child abuse which falsely claimed that Rangers supporters had flown a banner at Ibrox “showing sex acts being performed”. During the course of the complaint the Daily Record further, falsely alleged that a banner depicting a priest abusing a minor had been flown at Ibrox during an Old Firm game in 2018.

The Daily Record first attempted to have our complaint thrown out by their lawyers on the basis that Club 1872 had no standing to challenge this falsehood. When this failed, they then embarked on a series of false claims and misrepresentations regarding our complaint. This correspondence included the Daily Record Complaints Officer, the then Sunday Mail Editor, the Daily Record and Sunday Mail Editor in Chief, the Executive Editor of those publications, the Managing Editor of Reach PLC (owners the Sunday Mail and Daily Record) and the Reach PLC lawyer. At the turn of the year they took the complaint to a further stage of review to delay publication of the outcome by a further five months.

Club 1872 produced extensive video evidence of the game in question and a detailed statement from Rangers’ security team which referenced the state of the art CCTV system in Ibrox and the police and stewarding reports from the game, showing clearly that no such banner had appeared at the stadium.

 

Despite this, the Daily Record continued to challenge our complaint based on a second hand account from an individual who had not attended the game and a false statement written by one of their own journalists after our complaint was submitted.

This statement was one of the most troubling aspects of the complaints process. A Daily Record journalist produced a fabricated account which, when challenged, kept changing. First he claimed that the banner had appeared in the Broomloan Stand, then he said it may have been the Copland Stand. It was only after consistent questioning by Club 1872 and IPSO that the Daily Record admitted that this journalist had produced his statement after the story had been published, after our complaint was received and more than four months after the game had taken place. We firmly believe this was a transparent attempt to mislead IPSO, which we are pleased to say failed.

This is not the first time the Daily Record has lied about Rangers supporters or our club. They were sanctioned by IPSO in 2016, following a Club 1872 complaint over their false claim that Rangers supporters had thrown their children in front of police vans at the Scottish Cup Final. They also fought tooth and nail at that time to avoid retracting and correcting that story. In both instances these false claims have been designed to damage Rangers and our supporters.

IPSO are not able to rule on matters of fact so our upheld complaint can only state that the Daily Record did not take due care and attention when publishing this story and compel them to publish a correction. However, for the avoidance of doubt, this claim about Rangers supporters was false and we believe that at all stages of the process the Daily Record knew it was false. This shameful piece of journalism was exacerbated by their refusal to voluntarily retract the false claim and instead engage their lawyers and senior management in a campaign of denial and delay to avoid admitting their liability.

We would like to thank Rangers’ security team for their assistance in this matter, without which it would have been much more difficult to reach this successful outcome.

Supporters may have noticed more recently that the Daily Record has been an outlet for almost daily propaganda from the SPFL over their disgraceful conduct regarding the vote on the future of the 2019/20 league season. A once important publication, which does still retain a very small number of good, credible journalists, has been reduced to a national embarrassment.

We assure our members and the wider Rangers support that we will continue to challenge media falsehoods whenever we can, within the boundaries of our limited resources. Every Rangers supporter who takes the choice to join Club 1872 enables us to achieve a little bit more – we have significantly more strength in numbers. In the meantime we have a simple message for the Rangers support in relation to the Daily Record and Sunday Mail. Don’t buy. Don’t click. Don’t share.

Parlane discussing the approach Rangers took to stopping 10IAR back in his day. Pure and simple.

They have to go out with the attitude that every single match has to be won. That’s how it should always be at Rangers. Steven’s got to make sure that the players he’s got have the right attitude and motivation.

We must take that pre-Christmas mentality and turn it up to 11. 

Pump every single team. Outscore every fucker. Everyone playing at their absolute best.

The lifting of the fog, the elation and absolute weight off of the shoulders once that happens will be unlike anything else; for the players and us.

At the moment that 9IAR/10IAR elephant is hovering over every step. It's up to them to kill it.

Different mentality in those players.

How many of our current crop do you honestly think would’ve been hurting yesterday.

Mcgregor, Halliday, Docherty, Jack??

The rest simply don’t care enough.

We'll find out the answer whenever the next season kicks off.

I want to see 11 fucking lions on that pitch for a whole season.

The Scottish Cup game at Tynecastle was our last shot at glory this season and we turned in a performance that Warburtons team would’ve been embarrased by.

Our captain and Alfredo would be gutted for sure 

You are right though . Hardly any of them probably even noticed

Fucking popcorn teeth claiming they suffered most cause of the season stoppage.

Eh NO! I  think you might find the dead and grieving relatives have suffered more!!!!

Not even suffered the most from a football point of view. What a twat. Although by saying that is he admitting they haven't been able to prove they were actually deserved winners? (Hence their supposed "suffering"?)

Its literally incredible.  I know I can be biased (😁) but I do try to consider things objectively at times. In this case theres no other conclusion than him / them having no shame, and being so blinkered and perma victims that its fucked his / their thought processes from being what any normal person would consider reasonable.

Does this Hagi have the Character , as Jock Wallace might say, to play for The Rangers.

I'm no so sure and if we do sign him then where does this leave Aribo.

Allowing that neither of these players appears to suit this rigid 4,3,3 system our management team applies , almost without fail, and this system's seemingly ineffective performance against the dreaded low block  where does this leave us .

If we are honest it is our teams performances since the wi ter break that have cost us this championship regardless of the outcome  of any SpFL competency debate
