Toepoke Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Nowt's changed from what I saw on Sportscene... 'We will continue to report on Rangers both on and off the pitch and will feature match action where appropriate but, until this issue is resolved, we will not be sending journalists to Ibrox or attending Rangers press conferences.' http://m.heraldscotland.com/news/13527481.BBC_remain_defiant_over_refusal_to_send_staff_to_Ibrox_after_Rangers_banned_reporter/ Edited August 9, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the sycophantic puff pieces in David Murrays office with Chick young that used to gee us all the boak fair and balanced? If their reporting was fair and balanced in the first place why have they had to give an assurance of it?Sounds like they're admitting the reporting was unfair and are addressing the issue.

dipped flake Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Sad but predictable. Everyone knows the bbc have been a mouthpiece for old.and.New rangers but I actually hoped that them being banned yet again might have led to more balanced reporting, deluded or what.

Pool Q Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The BBC are bowing to the realities of the situation. It is a fine line they have to tread, pandering to the Rangers support while retaining some degree of integrity and credibility (stop laughing). The best we can hope for is that it doesn't descend to the levels, referred to above, of a few years back with Chic Young being ecstatically double teamed by Smith & Murray.
