Wee warning shot across the BBC’s bows

[Grigo Yossarian]

A wee birdie tells me the Beeb’s coverage of our game v Livi raised a few eyebrows amongst the punters and fed into the club who have had a word in the shell-like.

Specifically -

Colak’s goal

Cancer’s tackle on Scott Wright

Foul on Rangers player when ball ended in net towards the end


There will be no return to business as usual.

Great news Mark.

Hope we are ready to act quickly.

We let them off lightly.

 

[uneasydaz]

Is it not down to the producers? They are the ones that select what is to be looked at? The swamp really needs drained there.

I think so Tam Cowan said to Jonathan Sutherland when he was on offtheball before an old firm game at Ibrox last season they better not have an interview with Ange after the game because no other managers get interviewed at Ibrox and his response was he would have a word with the producers and they ended up not showing an interview with him

 

[Gauche.]

I still don't know what the club was thinking in trying to "make pals" with that lot.
My belief is that before the end of the season, the situation will return to as before.
It will take a minor miracle for BBC shortbread to change from being an on air sellik wankathon.

 

[Mr. T.]

I think they also edited the push on Goldson for their disallowed effort.
It looked as if some frames were missing from the video, to make it appear that contact was minimal if anything at all. Miller appeared to be playing their game too, implying Goldson was at it.
I was shouting for it, before the ball was anywhere near the net.

The whistle went before it was anywhere near the guy who put it in the net.

 

[CampsieStar]

What does this actually mean in real terms? They still going to attend Ibrox and interview players or not?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Great news Mark.

Hope we are ready to act quickly.

We let them off lightly.

Another infraction and it’s back to the roundabout with them.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

What gets me is their arrogance and stupidity ......they still think they can do and say what they like and get away with it , without realising they would be under the scrutiny of their superiors .As the previous poster says there is a deep swamp to drain ..

Their inbred hatred stops their ability to be objective in the jobs they’re paid to do TaD.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Another infraction and it’s back to the roundabout with them.

Let’s dig a hole & get some alligators in that roundabout mate.

 

[cw3038]

Never expected anything less from Papist Quay.

 

[Dumfriesbear]

The 'management' may well have issued an apology of sorts, but the place is absolutely infested with that lot and / or Rangers haters in general. Producers and editors behind the scenes. People like Stewart and Cosgrove in front of the camera and behind the mic. These people aren't going to change their approach. They can't. The bitterness oozes out of every pore. There either needs to be a clearout, or there needs to be consequences for perpetual offenders. We all know neither of those things will be happening.

You only need to listen to Thought for The Day on GMS to hear the amount of times they have RC's doing it.

 

[The Ranger]

I hope to god this is true, keep the separate entity lover's out

 

[Turrabear]

Can,t understand why we have called a truce with them .it's obvious that nothing will ever change at bbc Scotland. Most of the hatersxare still in place and the ones who have left are simply replaced by other haters.

 

[weetam3106]

I turned on RS today and heard Dick Gordon. I knew then, despite all the noise of him leaving and the alleged change of heart that BBC Scotland would never change.

The more things change the more things stay the same.

Bitter rabid rangers and union hating, republican loving horrible bastards.

Never forgive. Never forget.

 

[The Doctor]

These "highlights" were not even remotely innocent. They were basically the scum at BBC Scotland sticking two fingers up to their paymasters down south. Like a petulent child being told not to walk on grass who runs across it in defiance. The swamp needs drained and refilled with proper professionals.

 

[HandsomeHead]

To deliberately ignore Cancar's second yellow and the Colak goal was no accident.

No, and the interesting thing there was that you would have expected one of the brass at the BBC to have had a word with the minions after their apology telling them what was expected now, yet first time up this is what we get?

As you say, that’s no accident.

 

[Vallance]

BBC speak with forked tongue.

 

[Michael Mols]

Just ban them. They aren’t capable of being impartial

 

[struth 1872]

I got all the analysis and footage I needed from sky sports.

Why anyone wanted to tune in for the school newspaper standard, made by Timmy for Timmy nonsense is beyond me.

I only watch it for a laugh when they get beat.

What about the timmy comentry on sky during our away games , you happy with that

 

[GodStruth]

The producers of their radio and tv football are to a man utter bigots

For that reason they will never change. They MIGHT dial it down a bit, but they absolutely hate Rangers

 

[Hipster Dashie]

Apology is worth nothing without change. They have people that simply can’t change.

 

[punksnotdead]

I await the wankfest on their highlights show tonight, grant now on commentry on sportsound i hear , whats happened to bonner has he been sacked.

Boak inducing, it's Celtic TV.

 

[Mview83]

Do we really think anything is/was going to change?

 

[Loyal72]

Good.

You're no apologising to just continue as before, actually make up for your past actions and report on us fairly going forward.

Sportscene coverage is pish.

 

[Empire]

The producer of Sportscene is a Celtic fan. So much so he had his wean and Mrs in the opening credits a few seasons ago in their Celtic tops celebrating in their living room.

 

[dh1963]

I suspect they are trying to get us to ban them and play the innocent party.

 

[Div1872]

Glad the club have reacted and given them a warning as that’s what’s required

If this editorial bias is maintained the club could take action as the BBC have already apologised and admitted the previous coverage did not meet their editorial standards of fair and balanced reporting

The BBC a in Scotland cannot be trusted and I won’t be surprised if it happens again

 

[DejaVoodoo]

Maybe the decision to lift their self imposed ban came from the top of BBC Scotland because yesterday's coverage looked like BBC Scotland's Sport department indicating we have not and will not change our biased coverage of Rangers.

That's the interesting thing here. Whoever wanted to rebuild the relationship from within BBC will now have to show some conviction. Do they start to go down the capability route and begin to remove employees ignoring management guidance or do they give up knowing that the relationship will revert to what it was for the last seven years. Never good to be ignored as a manager.

 

[eeboh]

Great news Mark.

Hope we are ready to act quickly.

We let them off lightly.

Hopefully we now just actually ban them officially. A statement along the lines of BBC Scotland now don't have to pretend to all and sundry that Rangers stopped them from setting foot in Ibrox, now they are banned...sine die.

 

[BB50]

I think they also edited the push on Goldson for their disallowed effort.
It looked as if some frames were missing from the video, to make it appear that contact was minimal if anything at all. Miller appeared to be playing their game too, implying Goldson was at it.

It looks like it was given for holding on Tav cause the ref points directly at the Livi player and gestures holding to him?

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

It’s what they deserve eeboh.

For a STATE FUNDED organisation, what right do they have to show clear bias mate ?

 

[Haining84]

They really are freaks.

 

[sonowilliam1]

Truly pathetic that the BBC omitted both incidents from the match considering it was aired live on SKY and most probably viewed by thousands upon thousands.

The fellow(s) who edited it should be handed his/their jotters forewith.

 

[BB50]

Looks like he's doing the rounds on celtic podcasts now?

 

[GovanFront4]

Good to hear. They need to be held to a standard.

 

[Morty]

I suspect they are trying to get us to ban them and play the innocent party.

This.
They don't give a shit about covering Rangers so they'd love us to ban them.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

Apology is worth nothing without change. They have people that simply can’t change.

Then those people need fired.

That’s why we were wrong to accept the truce in the first place.

None of those ignoring the so called BBC standards were taken out of their organisation.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

The coverage from the BBC was as amateurish as it was shoddy. They would have been as well stating before they aired our match highlights that they didn’t really give a shit about and it was just a box ticking exercise.

Totally and utterly appalling and it would be great to hear if we have went back to not dealing with them due to their incompetence.

 

[The_Irrepressibles]

Comparing that sh!tshow on sportscene to what I watched in the full coverage, there's only one description.

Propoganda. Plain and simple. It's been going on for some time, but that last night was as bad as I've ever seen it.

 

[douzpwa]

They can't be trusted to not show their bias kick them tae feck we don't need them!

First chance to show they could be fair, I've no issue with them discussing the livi chopped off goal, but as ever they miss everything that went against us. Jokers.

 

[hhss]

Must have worked, they’ve just shown and discussed all the incidents on Sunday Sportscene

 

[Killer Bob]

The club should be using this as a lever to have the producer disciplined.

I'd be requesting a meeting to ask the bbc to explain editorial decisions around the highlights package.

 

[Neild79]

Completely biased editing.
Probably never change unfortunately.

 

[Grommitt]

The whistle went before it was anywhere near the guy who put it in the net.

This.

There was only one disallowed goal in the game. Čolak's.

With the Livi incident, the referee had blown his whistle well before the Livi striker put the ball into our net. On the referee's whistle, the ball is not in play any more. You cannot score a goal when the ball is not in play. There was no 'goal' to disallow. Play had already been stopped.

With ours, the linesman only raised his flag after the ball had hit the net. The referee then disallowed a goal that had been scored.

So, there was only one disallowed goal in the match, and BBC Scotland saw fit not only to not discuss it, but to fill the time it should have been being discussed by talking about a foul for a push in the back of a player which led to a striker putting a 'dead' ball into the net.

Nothing but outrageous bias!

 

[Bear84]

What about the timmy comentry on sky during our away games , you happy with that

Not at all, I’d love to see that changed but i find it quite easy to ignore commentary.

I was comparing the quality of the production between the 2.

 

[Auldbear72]

Too little too late the damage is done blanket ban the lot from radio shortbread to RC Clyde clean bill of health needed given there chance an blown sky high what a cluster feck by those in charge of a state run TV programme agai ban the lot

 

[hms]

Let’s be honest, everything the bheast touches goes to ruin, unions, councils, committees, businesses and the media.

 

[CLMGC]

Wanking themselves off over Nouvble scoring and having a half chance then basically making out the only reason Tavs FK went in was down to poor goalkeeping. Time to make a VAR comment from the ginger wank about the goal that was rightly chopped off for Livi as Goldson was clearly pushed but absolutely no mention of the legitimate Colak goal that was chopped off incorrectly.

Very impartial reporting BBC.

Said no one, ever.

 

[Drum]

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised.

The current generation of Scottish RC ranks amongst the most vile of bigot I've ever encountered (and I've travelled a bit). They'll leech off the public £ until it's drained then fück off to another handout (unfortunately for us every other country has sussed them). But never, ever will they return to their spiritual home. Not while you are paying.

Dunno where folk on here got the idea he was leaving. It was known from the start that he was stopping presenting the Saturday show but would present the Sunday show.
