There’s nothing we can do. Try complaining to IPSO. They’ll come back telling you you don’t have a direct involvement in the matter and write it off. It is up to the board to take up matters that are detrimental to our club and they don’t have the backbone to do it. They are a waste of space and after their participation in the corruption of the SPFL/SFA gifting of league titles their “we should not be found wanting “ should find them hounded out. 

Every person on this site has the ability to either start a positive blog,  make and post positive videos on youtube, comment positively on twitter about the club and players etc.

That's the only way to counteract it.

It's too easy shifting the blame onto the board and saying they should be doing all the work, it's about time the fans started to campaign positively for the club.

(i'm not saying no one does by the way, i know there are some Rangers fans that do - but not enough)

Is this because it's under the jurisdiction of the SFA to sort out?

Maybe players could file complaints with the PFA  making sure that the incident are logged and the PFA issue an official report to the SFA.  There is no place for racist language within the game, regardless of circumstance and this must include how sports journalists write about players.

It will be interesting to see how David Graham tackles the media hounding of Morelos this season.

He won’t, the spineless cunts on the board only like to have a go at the fans, we’ll probably see a few sound bytes released that will be laughed off as everyone now knows we won’t follow anything through. 

[bluenose48 951]

Settle down the media hacks are all just pissed off that they lost money on the bookies because they backed Aberdeen to win.

And it's about time the club did the same for the fans and players 

[dummiesoot 16,003]

Victimisation at a minimum. Counts the lot of them.

Little wonder he wants to leave

IPSO is the regulator for newspapers. If you go through the rhags complaints department and still don’t receive an adequate response you can then take it further via IPSO. The problem with them is they won’t listen to a mere fan, it needs to be done via someone employed by Rangers tasked to act for them or possibly a recognised fan group.

The board should let David Graham do his job. What's the point in having a media officer with his experience if the board interfere. He needs to be in a position where he can address any racism towards our players head on.

A mere fan putting a YouTube video up can’t counter a concerted narrative by various main stream media outlets. We need our club with the publicity that they can command to counter the falsities that are put out there to damage our club. 

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

Oh well, nothing new here.

This is what happens when you have a board who take it up the arse. Our board allow the media to set the narrative, because they are cowards.

They're quick enough to attack our own fans, or when they get it personal, but when it comes to the media and officialdom shafting us, it's MIA time.

This persecution of Alfie has gone on long enough. In any other world there would be payback for this, but he wears the blue jersey, so that's ok.

Simply criminal on what's going on here and tbh the wee man would be better off out of it, as this board wont be doing fuck all in his defence. This backwater doesn't deserve him.

Cunts the lot of them.

Maybe the board could grow a spine and take action as they should. It's their job. This is a concerted campaign of our haters that has gone on long enough.

The board are a shower of spineless cunts and to see the back of them can't come quick enough.

Will they listen to players?

As a player Morelos will be a member of the players association, if he files a complaint to them, they will log the complaint and make sure the incident is reported to the SFA. Maybe PFA could also send a copy of the complaint to IPSO on the players behalf.

First game in and they're trying to set the narrative already.

That write up literally isn’t worth using as toilet paper.  Lazy, unimaginative and all too predictable from another who attempts to pass it off as journalism.  The term wage thief springs to mind.

Maybe but it really should be the responsibility of our club. Why are they incapable to defend falsities put out by a concerted effort from the main stream media? They are useless bastards, if that is an option these cunts will not use it, bridge building with fenian league gifting is more important.

It should be the clubs responsibility and they are failing players who are subjected to this form of abuse, but if the player is not protected by the club then surely they have the right to go to their PFA and ask for help to stop the abuse and file a complaint on their behalf?

I read this article and there was fuck-all said, not a mention, about Considine's horrific tackle.

Definitely an agenda.  Hopefully we call them out.

Hopefully the team is at the very least least ensuring that Morelos is being shielded from reading and hearing about the fenian media‘s diarrhoea. It’s more the influence on already weak minded referees that concern me. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Very difficult to fight outright prejudice. Especially when they are paid to write such nonsense. Border line hate crime in my opinion.

I was Alfie watch myself and there were 2 or 3 he didn’t need to do but some players go for the rough and tumble as it’s their combative style of play but yes he shouldn’t be singled out when others in the sheep were doing it. If you name one then for parity you name them all otherwise it’s targeted biased and completely wrong.

This is what the refs are reading and it’s in their heads that he’s the worse player on the park for bad tackles which is far from the truth. 

He does stupid wee things that infuriate me, like on Saturday when he was on the deck and he attempted to shove the sheep player away and also the wee kick out....do I think they are bad NO but he is a marked man and is highly more likely to be sent off for those wee silly things than Joe cunt is

We can't afford Morelos suspended at this early point of the season...as for the article itself it just sums up the loathing and shit he has to endure in Scotland....it's fucking astonishing that a foreign lad at the age of 24, has managed to set up his own charity foundation for the poor families of his hometown cerete gets vilified so much because of the colour of shirt he wears

Hopefully the team are a strong unit that support each other and will point him in the right direction to those who can help him stop this abuse. The board have an attack dog in David Graham and they should let him loose to deliver an anti-racism message to these racist  journalists.  The influence on refs is also a concern to me but that is a subject for debate in another thread.

[steven33jackie 1,917]

Problem with our media is that they are more gossip than actual journalism of the true sense.  One sided view devoid of an impartiality.
