Cedrick 8,048 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Never listened to any of our fan media podcasts so I may be speaking out of turn but any social media posts I’ve came across ,they always state the absolute obvious that any bear/bearette watching the match has worked out for themselves, the purpose of it all bewilders me tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserJon 12,316 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @The Dude you can maybe justify a pass for Edgar to some extent. However MD runs a forum and his press contribution is posting pictures of tomorrow's back pages. What in your opinion justifies him being at every game, surely he is not essential ?

He helps the club control the narrative. Easier to get what you want out to the masses without any dissent when you have the 'editor' of the biggest forum in your pocket.

esquire8 41,909 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Edgar should be fucking embarrassed. Kind of question you'd expect from the Rhecord or Sun. Twice in one night he fucked up when you add the "Aye Zungu ain't on the bench" before the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackAlex93 10,885 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Can't believe that was David Edgar's first question. That's something a tarrier would ask from the off. Classy as ever from our gaffer. Always measured in responses and I love the way he carries himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I said it before when it was stated the club would try and get closer to bloggers etc, there's something that just doesn't sit right with me there. We're a professional football club and a business. We turn over tens of millions of £s. It's unprofessional as fuck having random guys off the internet getting access while other *actual* time-served journalists are being banned because they say something the club doesn't like. I'm all for pro-Rangers media being out there, but not to the extent that these lapdogs will say whatever the club tells them to say without any independent scrutiny or thought. Our fans who want that need to be careful what they wish for. Just like in any business or any part of life, you need that independent challenge. Edgar's first question was an absolute nonsense, after a European tie where we just scored 9 goals over 2 legs. Where's the professionalism? Where's the congratulations on a fantastic victory for Rangers and Scottish Football, that any journalist worth their salt would comment? These guys just don't have a clue frankly and if I'm honest I'm totally put off by their content now, despite enjoying it in the past when I knew they had independence of thought.

Fair enough , need to agree to disagree, the way I see it 48 thousand fans are sitting in the house during a global pandemic well aware the buff is having some game , x amount of fans (not sure the total) are in ibrox to tweet the buffs having some game, it’s nonsense in my eyes , I respect you see the reason for it 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
