JamesM82 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 UEFA have achieved the impossible: getting Pat Bonner to watch a game that doesn't involve Celtic. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/long-ball-tactic-cost-england-euro-2020-final-says-uefa-report-dtqnnp8g2 Quote "When you use wing backs, you need to play out from the back and have a good share of possession,” said the technical panel member Packie Bonner, the former Ireland goalkeeper. “When England started to give away possession they started to lose control of the game." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 That's tremendous insight to be fair. Who knew that not keeping possession led to teams losing control of the game. I can see a few teams and coaches looking at that and trying to move to a more possession based style. Surprised nobody has thought of it before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Rangers and Celtics perspective. You're right in what you're saying, but we're a million miles away from the clubs themselves taking action due to a media spotlight. Even if we leave aside media reluctance to actually wrestle with the issue, remember why the BBC don't currently have full access to Ibrox. Strict liability is the only sensible way forward, as the clubs are not prepared to tackle this meaningfully by themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strict liability is the only sensible way forward, as the clubs are not prepared to tackle this meaningfully by themselves. It all depends on who the media is. For example, if Sky decided that sectarian chanting was akin to racist chanting, they would put pressure on Rangers and Celtic and action would have to be taken. Likewise BT and Uefa. If either of them could see beyond the short term, they would see this is harming their brand and therefore revenues. On the BBC, like the Cinch money, if Rangers had a credible bone in their body, they would either hand any share of sponsorship cash back or make a point of donating it to charity.

Sadly, I don't think this is right at all. I think the clubs are fearful that really tackling it would be harmful to revenues. I'm not convinced that they're mistaken. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers plc brought out orange strips to increase their revenue. They encourage this shite. Just listened to Mondays show, yes very embarrassing. Reminded me of South Africa apartheid pointing the finger at the racist language used in France. Brass neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankChickens1 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Can see why she's angry if she thinks he said Godleys tweets weren't racist. Of course, he didn't say that. Even if she thinks she's angry for the right reasons, she's doing a hellish job of articulating it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Assuming the schedule stays the same, it seems the BBC are continuing to make a stand against "Rangers" banning their journalists by choosing to do live off-tube commentary of their game on Wednesday instead of actually being at Dens for Dundee v St Johnstone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
