wastecoatwilly Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Damn podcast isn't up yet but scooby doo episode and jabba the nut was a bit of quality. The PC (petty crap) against the PR (pretty rubbish) is in full flow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bbc have an ongoing feud with rangers in which traynor specifically has complained about them. As soon as Stewart mentions him by name he needs to distance the bbc from it, give balance and then move the conversation on. It’s literally his job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue I have is that had he said any of what you've said in your post, in that manner, he'd have been on higher ground than Michael Stewart and probably shut him up. He didn't though, either because he's incapable intellectually or because of his emotional attachment to the club. Which is fine if he's on Rainjurs Wireless 1690 AM, but he's not.

I have read your piece of dramatic and over the top sensationalism, and that’s all it is. “Simpered”, really?

Fratelli Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I find the manic reaction amongst the presenters and other parts of the media, to the mention of one man's name maybe proves Stewart's point a bit. Having said that i understand why McIntyre had to step in as it's just his job, however he made a bit of an arse of it and it just came out like a blind panic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Van Tee Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Next Monday on Sportsound, David Currie will be in the studio with guest Leanne Crichton. Being as bland as it's possible to be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsound survives on the back of old-pals crap where no one offends anyone as they know the player or manager on some personal basis that is being talked about. It leads to years of endless tedious 'discussions'. The Stewart incident shows what happens when someone actually has a real point to make miles away from the usual guff. I don't think McIntyres comment about making Rangers fans feel like someone was on their side was a sign of him panicking about the BBC getting involved in a law suit. More like his desperate attempt to get it all back in line with the usual controlled discussion that rambles on for hours on this show. God help people rocking the boat on that programme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite sad that a pundit employed to give a view isn't 'really' allowed to give one. It's maybe a bit of a legal minefield misnaming the Daily record but if you just argue that the official statements coming out of Rangers, including statements written by Traynor and interviews given by him on behalf of that club, are inflammatory and usually well wide of the mark, I don't think there's much argument to be made against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It's a pity he named the wrong redtop, as it has meant that the Rangers / "Old Firm" media can circle the wagons and deflect. Exhibit A, m'lud : today's Daily Record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
