Fozzyonthefence Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 "Roddy Forsyth stating to Gordon Brewer on Newsnight Scotland, that Hearts had a worse problem with sectarianism than Celtic" When you see some of the posters on here it's sometimes difficult to argue with that - we don't do ourselves any favours. And no matter how distasteful some of the pro terrorist stuff, etc the Celtic fans come out with, a lot of it isn't actually sectarian. I think that's why they always get away with it wit UEFA & the SFA - it's too difficult to prove whereas the songs or you hear from Rangers or Hearts fans are sometimes just blatantly anti catholic.

Deevers Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have to say that I have always viewed BBC Scotland as having an overly visible pro-Celtic bias in their reporting. BBC Scotland has long since lost any credibility for unbiased reporting of most things here. Possibly the answer to this is to have their Scottish HQ removed from cesspit Glasgow and re-located in Edinburgh. That said their bias is more than made up for in the pro-Rangers reporting in the press. The truth is that this whole sorry scenario is really a sad reflection on the state of "journalism" in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
