Popular Post Ludo*1 Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 Wonder if that's bait for Stewart to bite on... Embarrassing from BBC. This is more than just worthy of the tinpot thread, it needed a thread of its own. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Leith Green Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 I have just seen it, fucking hell. I assume Chris McLaughlin is now "allowed" into Ibrox as part of this ?

Popular Post DA Baracus Posted July 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2022 Hideous cowardice. Just stinking lickspittle, bootlicking nonsense. A grubby, sad, pathetic, cringey piece of shit from an organisation long bereft of morals. This also tips well over in to being bigot apologists. Sevco must be laughing hard at this. They don't give a shit about BBC Scotland but BBC Scotland are running after them like wee bitches crying and bawling, begging them to stay. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Tough one for BBC's Scottish football journalists. I'd be seeking alternative employment, that's dreadful from the BBC. Integrity out the window, staff under the bus. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that many of them are already "self employed" and contract out to the BBC (the commentators etc). That doesnt absolve the BBC, of course, as you have a duty of care for them as well as direct employees. In particular, would be interesting to hear Chris Mclaughlin views, but would lay odds that he will be "otherwise engaged" on days they go to Ibrox. This is in the same vein as when they shat it about Michael Stewart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It's refreshing to see when someone owns their mistakes and makes things right. Well done to the BBC I say -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Rory Loy is 'liking' this patter on Twitter so I'd assume most of the journalists will just be happy to go to Ibrox for their paid day out. Kenny McIntyre's promotion won't have done relations any harm either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they’ll be delighted that they can now get back into Ibrox to commentate on the Biggest Game on Earth™. This does mean that we’ll go back to the Saturday 3pm commentary every week coming from one side of Glasgow or the other, with no regard for what is actually the best game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris McLauchlin doesn’t really go to games anymore. He’s now “Sports News Correspondent” which is more about packages for Reporting Scotland rather than match reports for Sportsound. Your point about the reporters being mostly freelance is right, though. Both Rob Maclean and Paul Mitchell have worked for Premier Sports at Ibrox during the “ongoing situation”, and of course most or all of the ex-Rangers players the BBC have as pundits also appear on the club’s own TV channel. It’s also worth noting that Radio Five were happy to visit Ibrox whenever they felt like covering football this side of the border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith Green Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Heres the thing, if there was a joint statement that also covered what Sevco did, then you could almost swallow it. Its the fact that - as someone upthread mentioned - Rangers are going to be saying nothing, pissing themselves laughing and in the full knowledge that they "won". Whoever sanctioned this in the BBC is either a *** or needs to have a long look at themselves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stems from a hissy fit thrown at Ibrox post financial meltdown stirred up by the reprehensible Traynor that carried on after he departed. The BBC shouldn't be apologising for anything. Clubs should be in no position to pick and choose what journalists report on them for a network. Even at his most megalomanic whilst he issued temporary bans to papers I don't even thing Sir Alex Ferguson tried to ban a network from Old Trafford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
