Rangers FC v BBC (Scotland)

  • Ein englischer Regionalsender der BBC wollte mit Gerrard ein Interview führen, doch dagegen hat BBC Scotland interveniert. Es wurde ein wenig gezankt und nun wird es demnächst an höherer BBC-Stelle entschieden.


    David Edgar said on a pod that the rumours are that BBC Scotland have been told to get it sorted out by the end of the year. Not long to go now.

  • Kleine Anekdote aus dem BBC-Thread von Gersnet:


    Yesterday's coverage of our match against Dundee was more of what has become the PQ pattern.
    Transparency was the key word.
    DrStu' believes transparency will be achieved if the Review/Disciplinary Committee is made up of former players, as well as former Refs. He specifically stated the name of a fellow PQ employee who, "also wants an emancipated Scotland" to be involved. He went on to say that Michael Stewart would only willing to do it, if anonymity was guaranteed. He would rather avoid the social media storm that would accompany such decisions. Tick one for preferred prejudice.


    Big Dick hosted a twenty minute discussion on the same subject matter. Aberdeen are unhappy, Steve Clarke is perturbed, Neil Lennon has an interest, and everyone talked about kicking out and flicking a kick. Everyone was Wullie Miller, Billy Dodds and his EBT, Chick Young, Scott McDonald, and Alan Preston. Both Morelos and McGregor are guilty as sin and anyone else carded is provided with mitigation, including Neil Lennon aeroplaning. In the interests of 'transparency', we should know the make up of these three men panels. There was agreement that there is one rule for one club and another for everyone else. Tick two and three for preferred prejudice.


    It's interesting, we were told consistently that there was no need to know the identities of those disciplining our club, it wouldn't help the process. When McCoist questioned anonymity in the interests of transparency, it was Beeb Scotland that led the charge in ridicule. Oh, and if you are a license fee paying Bear, do not have the temerity to ask BBC Scotland which employee will be this week's FARE representative in Villareal? Further, Scott McDonald has some neck. Last season, he was correctly red carded for a flat of the boot lunging assault at a Rangers player and he appeared on Sportsound twice and on Sportscene once during the immediate week following his dismissal, to plead his case. That's right Scott, one rule for one ....... who else has such generous access?


    Objective appreciation occurs when all factors germane to the subject are thoroughly tested. Advantages and disadvantages are listed on each component. You arrive at a conclusion that can be advanced. A preferred conclusion that forces the equation to fit is corrupted absolutely. If you omit a constant factor, then your conclusion is false. The culmination of this twenty minute discussion saw Alan Preston in the final twenty seconds say, "Just because Rangers turned up with a Lawyer to bamboozle the committee doesn't make it right, kicking out at a fellow pro' compared with Neil Lennon aeroplaning on to the pitch, what's more dangerous"? Ninety-nine per cent of a discussion refusing to mention the crucial factor of a club participating in the process, fully armed; is omitted. Now, if one of Alan the Agent's players was the subject of an appeal and he was supported by a Solicitor/QC, would Alan the Agent utilise the word, "bamboozle"?


    To coverage of our game, Chico was 'monitoring' events. He began his team news from Ibrox by this introduction, "today's bottom half of the
    table fixture between Rangers and Dundee ......". Big Dick before the end of the show read out the SPFL table, "Hearts leading with a perfect fifteen points, Celtic and Livingston on ten points, and Hibs, St Johnston, and Rangers on eight points". Apparently, we are sixth; well, at least our next league fixture is top half of the table against the Saints one place above. Ah, that old adage about being accurate ensures objectivity?

    So krank wie ärmlich ...

  • Aberdeen hat fürs Pokalhalbfinale bislang 9.000 Karten verkauft, nachdem sie zunächst darüber geklagt hatten, zu wenig Karten bekommen zu haben. Mittlerweile wurde ihr Kontingent von 25k auf 15k gesenkt und die Karten an uns weitergegeben.


    Das hinderte beim Erstellen der Meldung die BBC Scotland Sportspacken jedoch nicht daran, dieses Bild (mittlerweile geändert) mit reinzupacken, welches Aberdeen-Fans mit einer Fahne zeigt, auf dem der derzeitige Aberdeen-Kapitän Shinnie (eh ein kranker Treter auf dem Rasen) den augenscheinlich abgetrennten Kopf von Ryan Jack hochhält: Red or Dead

  • Mal vom anderen Ende der Richter-Skala ... schon "lustig", wie sich BBC Scotland anstrengt, einen gewissen Namen nicht zu nennen:




    Mittlerweile wurde Chris "Scrote" McLaughlin nach England "befördert" ... was aber BBc Scotland Sport nicht davon abhält, auch weiterhin einseitig die Rangers zu boykottieren.

  • Die Geschichte mit uns und sie hätten 5-7 Mal das Wort "Rangers" im Artikel untergerbracht...

  • Übrigens, man könnte natürlich auch einen Thread zum Thema: Media pro Cetlic aufmachen.


    Ein Gersnet'er postete unlängst dies hier zum Thema "wie schlechte Infos übertüncht werden":


    Last week, ra Sellik revealed their wage bill to be several hundred thousand pounds short of £60 million.


    Going across both broadcast and print media today, the number of feelgood articles involving ra Sellik and articles of moral concern running interference of the Torbett verdict, is quite remarkable.


    BBC Scotland's newly appointed Sports News Correspondent, Chris McLaughlin has presented a piece on gambling sponsorship in Scottish football.


    Stacey Mullen headlines in the Evening Times on the proposed Mass at St Mary's in the Calton, to mark the 131st anniversary of the founding of ra Sellik.


    Chris Doyle contacts Kieran Maguire to put a wonderful spin on ra Sellik's financial strength.


    Ewing Grahame wheels out David Low in the Scottish Sun. The man who advised Fergus McCann warns Rangers, 'careful now'! Apparently, our obsession with preventing Sellik's ten-in-a-row, will see us going burst, AGAIN!


    *"gambling sponsoship" ... natürlich abgezielt auf uns, da Green (m.W. damals den Deal mit 32bet einfädelte. Das man jahrelang für Alkohol Werbung machte ist natürlich egal. Wie gesagt, "deflect and denial"

    Ibrox: Dave King and his Going Concern

    By Douglas Fraser Business/economy editor, Scotland

    Share this with Email Share this with Facebook Share this with Twitter



    • A big financial loss at Rangers International Football Club reflects big errors in spending, meaning a new regime for picking players
    • The club does well at selling tickets, but it lags Celtic in other earnings
    • Banks don't bankroll RIFC, so its directors and investors are doing so. For how long?


    There are lots of numbers in the accounts of Rangers International Football Club, as you would expect.
    The playing squad, in the year to last June, was up from 59 to 66, with total staff at Ibrox up from 179 to 202.
    Average attendance at home league matches was up to 49,200.
    The numeral that ought to relieve fans of the nearly-eponymous football club more than most is that it is now 65 months since Craig Whyte last threatened legal action.


    How do the numbers stack up?
    The former Ibrox chairman's gas seems to be at a peep, and the humiliating memories of the Craig Whyte fiasco are fading in the rear view mirror.
    When I say the football club is nearly eponymous, it's worth explaining to those outside the Old Firm orbit that this matters a lot, to some people.
    To refer to the corporate entity as Rangers Football Club is to, as the club's critics see it, to concede the claims of fans at Ibrox that the current crop of boys in blue are from the same lineage as the corporate entity of that name dating back to 1872.
    So the word "International" matters here. The corporate entity, created in 2012 to buy the Ibrox assets out of liquidation, is Rangers International Football Club. Whether the playing entity carries forward the older tradition, and its record of winning silverware, is not for me to judge. Or to care.
    That international monicker is an uncomfortable fit, because being International is what RIFC has most lacked in recent years. Having made it back into the premiership of Scottish football, Rangers had its first foray into European competition last year, with high hopes ( the only variety the faithful will contemplate ), and it bombed before the real season had even started.
    That helps explain why the numbers that really mattered at the club's Annual General Meeting in Ibrox were coloured not in black or blue, but in red.
    The club reported a £14.7m loss last year, which wasn't far from half of its £32.7m revenue. That income figure was up 12%, which is nice, but at the same time, expenses were soaring.
    Why? Another number: two managers took charge at Ibrox last season. They had a dismal time. They were spending on players with expectations of being far bigger than the club they are.
    You can see this as investment for the future. But it was a particularly poor investment, by the admission of the chairman Dave King.
    "Something went wrong," he concluded.
    The investment didn't lead to a commensurate rise in performance. And not only did the players not perform on the field: that shortfall made them less valuable in the transfer market.
    The accountants are able to measure just how bad it was. They account for the value of player registrations. As soon as you sign a player, the value "amortises" - that is, it declines until that contract is complete.
    In addition, there is impairment, which is the underperformance of assets, lowering their value beyond the effect of amortisation. Last year alone, directors had to accept an impairment on their playing assets of £3.3m.
    Along with amortisation, that contributed £7.6m to the 2017-18 loss, up from £1.8m the previous year.
    Meanwhile, the total wage bill was up from £15.8m to £21.5m.


    Selling players on
    Out of interest, how does that compare with another club with a similar sort of stadium size, fan base and aspiration? Let's take, for instance, Celtic Football Club.
    The Parkhead accounts for last year show amortisation of £8.8m. It's a bigger number if you have a more valuable squad.
    But Celtic's business model is to increase the value of its players and sell them on. Last year, it made a profit of more than £16m on the selling of players - or what accountants like to call "intangible assets".
    Such numbers can go up and down a lot, as big sales make for lumpy flows of moola.
    The other big numbers that matter at Celtic Park include merchandising, which last year hit £17.7m. For Rangers, that element of income is a sorry tale of dispute with Mike Ashley and Sports Direct.

    At Celtic, "multimedia and other commercial activities" include TV rights and sponsorship. That topped £40m last season - almost as much as the £43.6m from "football and stadium activities", which includes ticket sales.
    In total, the wage bill at Celtic was £59m to Rangers' £21m, its revenue was £101m to Rangers' £32m, and its profit was £17.3m to Rangers' £14.7m loss.
    For Rangers, there is always hope and expectation, and it seems this season to be pinned on psychology.
    According to the chairman, Dave King, there wasn't much method to the recruitment of a strengthened playing team. He attributes a happier run in Europe this season to the review carried out by director of football Mark Allan.
    "Very importantly, we have now incorporated key personal character traits that have to be present for anyone wishing to play for Rangers, or to be part of the management of this club. We have seen that technical excellence alone is insufficient to perform at a club like Rangers."
    In other words, modern sports psychology and management has finally made it to Ibrox, and is now being marshalled by manager Steven Gerrard.


    Digging deep
    RIFC now has Metro Bank on board, having lived without much banking support for several grim years. But that's not where it can look to bankroll losses. For that, it has directors, ploughing in loans and occasionally swapping them for equity.
    By the end of its financial year, in June, total external loans had mounted up to £23.4m. That's not a particularly healthy figure, as Rangers fans ought to know by now.
    It's lower now, because of a debt-for-equity swap worth £11m, carried out earlier this autumn. However, more money will be required - £4.6m more this season, with the first tranche required in January, and a further £3m more in the 2019-20 season. The more of that transferring into equity, the more dilution there will be of other shareholder stakes.
    The club might continue a Europa league run meets the fans' high expectations - we'll find out more about that on Thursday evening against Villarreal - and the added broadcasting rights with gate receipts could offset those numbers.
    But the accounts spell out very clearly that RIFC can only be considered a going concern because directors and other investors are willing to dig deep, and have promised to keep doing so.
    One big question is how long Rangers can afford to live beyond its means. Or to put it more positively: how long and how much will this investment strategy require before it delivers profitable results?
    It was a question put to Dave King at the AGM, to which the answer came: "As long as it takes".

  • "Scrote" Chris McLaughlin ist ja nun gen Süden befördert worden, deshalb darf die Schwester ran, etwas eigen zu kommentieren:


    She got the opportunity to give a brief update in the middle of the Liverpool game
    ‘Don’t be fooled by the scoreline suggesting this was comfortable for Rangers’
    She then listed the scorers for Rangers
    ‘Cowdenbeath and David Cox bossed the second half’
    What a wonderful family. Wonder how she got the reporting gig for the match.

  • Und wieder kommt ein Tag und wieder ein neuerlicher Angriff auf Alfredo, denn der hats ja verdient und ist selbst Schuld:


    Alfredo Morelos: Is the Rangers striker unplayable or unpalatable?


    By Stefan Bienkowski
    BBC Sport Scotland


    Alfredo Morelos was a "menace" and "unplayable" against Aberdeen on Wednesday. The Rangers striker was also "a liability" and "petulant".
    In a fixture that seems to bring out both sides of the Colombian, he scored twice - his second a goal of admirable beauty - in the 4-2 win at Pittodrie, but was also dismissed after tangling with Scott McKenna.
    Afterwards, all the focus was on the 22-year-old's fourth red card of the season - and his third against Aberdeen - rather than the devilish artistry of his play.
    Former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam said on BBC Radio 5 live that Morelos would be a £15m target for English Premier League clubs were it not for his indiscipline.
    But how does his record compare with others? What do the pundits and those in the game think? And how do the fans consider him?


    ... startet eine "Umfrage". Man schnappt sich die passenden Meinungen, selbst von SG, unterlässt aber zu erwähnen, welche mhediale Aufmerksamkeit immer wieder auf Morelos gelenkt wird. Auch fällt unter den Tisch, daß zwei seiner "roten Karten" wieder revidiert wurden.


    "unpalatable" -> schlecht, unschmackhaft, widerwärtig


    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47152939


    Wenn ein weißer Schotte die Fouls begangen hätte, für die man Morelos ein ums andere Mal bestraft oder gar vom Platz stellt, würde man nahezu nichts lesen. Wie kommt man zu solch einer Aussage? Man schaut einfach mal ein oder zwei Jahre lang in die Vergangenheit und sieht Leute wie Brown, Simunovic, Bowman, Stokes, May und Co. agieren, die Folgen für diese Leute, und bekommt einen passenden Eindruck.

  • STEWART ROBERTSON spoke to RangersTV today to call for clarity on the disciplinary process in Scotland.


    Q: How are they finding these incidents then? You mention Sportscene?
    A: “We understand incidents are highlighted from all sorts of sources. The correlation with Sportscene is obviously very high.
    “We, as a club, have our own issues with the BBC Scotland. BBC have refused to attend Ibrox since November 2015 – and the dispute has gone on much longer than that.
    “They recently asked to come to Ibrox, but only to cover the matches. They would not be interviewing our manager and our players.
    “Now, if they are treating us differently in that respect, are there other areas where they are also treating Rangers differently in terms of the incidents which we are seeing being highlighted at the weekend.
    “You only have to look at the Alfredo Morelos incident in the Old Firm game, where they seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time examining Alfredo’s actions, but at no time at all did they look at any other actions from that game with the same scrutiny.
    “Morelos was then effectively vilified for three weeks on various BBC platforms. So you have to question if they are treating us differently – they have confirmed in writing that they are treating us differently from every other Premiership club – where else are they treating us differently?


    Q: You also mentioned BBC Scotland. Is there any sign of them returning to Ibrox?
    A: “No. They have chosen not to attend. They choose not to come to games and they choose not to interview our players or interview our manager.
    “So that is a discussion we have taken up separately with them. We have had numerous discussions with senior personnel at BBC Scotland but we are no further forward in reality.
    “Every time we get into a discussion with them, something happens. They are the only organisation I am aware of, and I stand corrected if not, which has had two public apologies from BBC Scotland in the last 12 months.
    “We had the Alfredo Morelos incident I have already referred to, we had the Ryan Jack incident where we had a banner showing the decapitated head of Ryan used as an image for a discussion on ticketing, I think.
    “So we have had various incidents with the BBC, and it just doesn’t seem to be getting any better with them.
    “It has been going on for a long, long time – long before my time – and we have a file two inches thick with correspondence with them.
    “Something needs to change to improve that. We have a lot of fans who only access the games through terrestrial television and radio, and it is discriminating against them that they can’t get to hear Rangers coverage.
    “They [the BBC] have actually written to us and told us they are treating us differently from other clubs in the Premiership.
    “So we need to see that change and we will be dealing with that separately.
    “It is important the Compliance Officer isn’t influenced unduly by Sportscene given that background. All we ever want from the BBC is to be treated fairly, in a balanced way and in an accurate way.”


    https://rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/qa-stewart-robertson/



    Man schaue sich nur mal die Berichte oben an und vergleiche dazu die Aussage der BBC zum Thema: drei glatte Lügen ...


    In a statement, BBC Scotland said: "The central part of this dispute is that Rangers is continuing to operate an exceptional ban of one of our journalists.
    "We have offered to return to Ibrox to provide commentary, as per our contracted rights, while we try to find a permanent solution to the overall dispute, but Rangers have said this is unacceptable.
    "Our coverage, including analysis and comment, is editorially fair .
    "We will continue to speak to both Rangers and the SPFL about the situation as we believe it's in the best interest of our audiences to restore the ability to bring commentaries from all SPFL grounds."
