Tayside Jambo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not one for buying the paper, especially rags such as The Sun, but the girlfriends dad had a copy and I had a wee read of our match report after tea. Firstly it winds me up that even after we win the majority of the article is about how The Rangers failed to win. Then there are the incredible statements such as Miller was harshly "booked" (there is no such thing as a booking, they are called cautions but that is a different rant) and that he won the ball and McHattie had to go off as a result of of the follow through. Then there are the really poor bits where it mentions Law going down for the penalty, and Ozturk got enough of the ball. Firstly it was Paterson that was challenging Law, and secondly, he never touched the ball or the player. The last one is my favourite though. Walker slotted past Alexander. Utter disgrace of an article, not that I was expecting anything other than a pandering article bumming up The Rangers, but they can't even get the most basic facts right such as who is on what side and who did what is something most 5 year olds can do.

Clonlara Erin Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 The state of that reporting is terrible but make little mistake - If Hearts had behaved at Ibrox the way they did yesterday, not only would we have finished with a lot less than 10 men, we'd be ripped apart by the same people who wrote the above. The Alexander quote is a mistake. The rest of them are not. Deliberately designed not to upset the fans of Rangers. Same as Thomsons decisions were not to send off Boyd and Miller. The game in Scotland is ****ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayside Jambo Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Jeez Tayside, it must have wound you up big time, the fact that you felt you had to take pics of their "article." No need mate, we all know the drivel they spout. I doubt very much that if Alistair Campbell wrote that piece instead, it would have a better spin on the true refelction of the match and Rangers' shiteness. 17'004 people attending saw it, and tens of thousands watched it on TV. Written by a lonely journalist who's probably just upset his Rangers idol was being picked on by the nasty Hearts fans. Well would have linked to the article, but you need to subscribe to them to "read" anything they put up there. It was Robert Grieve who wrote it.

Walker slotting past Alexander is a bit of a gaffe, though. You were on the other thread defending the journalist who thought (or at least reported) it was "other Rangers fans" who drowned out the jeers at Ally with a rousing chorus of "Super Ally". I am assuming you have some connection with journalism but I wouldn't leap to the defence of any and all incompetents in my former profession. All of us at the game watched it without the benefit of replays and none of us would have recalled it in such an error-strewn way. And we pay to watch the game. He gets paid to report it. (I know there are good reasons for the deterioration in standards of journalism that aren't all down to the journalists but that doesn't excuse the ever plummeting quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 This report from Moira Gordon, presumably from this morning's Scotsman, is considerably better. http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/hearts-2-0-rangers-jambos-extend-lead-over-gers-1-3613250 THERE have been many in the Rangers ranks who have questioned Hearts? stomach for life at the top of the league table, but the lofty status sits very well with the capital side. They hammered that fact home at Tynecastle yesterday, when they held their nerve to move nine points clear of Ally McCoist?s side and extend their unbeaten record in the Championship. It made a mockery of the recent musings emanating from the Rangers players, where it was suggested that Hearts could choke on the six-point lead they had manufactured over their Glasgow rivals. Instead, it is Rangers who are crumbling under the pressure, with their manager?s employment status under constant review by those in the stands and, undoubtedly, in the boardroom.
