Force this rag under. The article reads as though it's English and Welsh clubs, I'd hope Scottish clubs feel as strongly I'd love the Scottish Clubs reps to do this also. So many untruths and damaging smears it deserves to be shunned. The Sun has brought so much shame to the world of football over the years. Romanov serving them monkey nuts was probably the smartest thing he did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son Of Anarchy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hate all red tops. Liars and shit stirrers to suit which ever agenda they choose. Don't like em don't buy em, simple. I'm the petty sort. I'd ban all written media and only release info through Hearts TV and the official website. I know, i know, I did say I was petty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I wouldnae wipe my arse with either the sun or the record so they get nowt from me anyway (including - most importantly going on their web sites) Mind every view is advertising revenue.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'd rather that we let people decide what they want to read. You're not suggesting anyone who reads the Sun is capable of making a decision, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You're not suggesting anyone who reads the Sun is capable of making a decision, are you?I am suggesting they are entitled to, or at least try to. I personally don't buy any newspapers, and read extracts from various online. I would love to know how many who are boycotting, watch SKY though, or cooperate with them. Liverpool, for example, are happy to take their share of the cash they pump in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool, for example, are happy to take their share of the cash they pump in. I wasn't commenting on the morality of the rag's proprietors, rather the ability to make a reasoned choice of anyone who would read the Sun. Calling for a boycott of the Sun, or anything else best read in the privacy of one's bedroom, isn't depriving anyone of their preferred reading, for no one would be removing anyone's right to buy and read whatever they choose. Unless you are suggesting that anyone so weak of mind as to read the Sun wouldn't understand that such a boycott would not be compulsory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 The Sun is an utter rag. Pure filth. Pretty sad that it would take the peer pressure of a boycott to make someone decide to stop buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I think as time moves on, people will, more and more, get their information from other sources. Still open to manipulation and spin but a pleasing thought none the less. You'll not be able to fool any of the people, any of the time.....to paraphrase !

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It would be compulsory if the boycott "put the rag under", as suggested in the OP. A boycott will only work if enough people accept that the sun is not worth reading. As there is no way that such a boycott could be 'policed', people will be free to make up their own minds whether or not to join a boycott, it will be the Sun readers, themselves, who decide not to buy it to the level that it goes under, or not.

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Have not read or bought that paper for over 20 years ,try not to click on any link to its web page . That said very rare I buy any paper these days occasionally the local evening paper or a Sunday paper if Hearts have had a big win the day before . National level newspapers or red tops are slowly dying off my guess gone within the next 10/20 years . There is a reason why the Gov wants to reign in the freedoms of social media and it's not really to do with stopping terrorism . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
