Rangers FC v BBC (Scotland)

Es ist eben sehr "vogue" unseren Namen bei allem möglichen Müll mit in den Dreck zu ziehen, auf der anderen Seite die Schande des schottischen Fußballs nahezu beispiellos zu übergehen, zu ignorieren oder wenn darpüber gesprochen wird, peinlichst darauf zu achten, den Namen Celtic nicht auszusprechen.

Meinungsmache einer Minderheit mit großem Sprachrohr, ganz übel und wie man sieht von oben toleriert,

Die BBC Scotland "Sportscene" Sendung gestern hatte es dann in sich: Michael Stewart durfte da mal ran und machte der Nation klar, daß Scott Brown an nichts Schuld war:

Zitat

The Friday night Sportsound (*link below) is probably worth a mention.

PQ looked at some of the news and decided to change the usual Friday night line-up (Billy Dodds & sometimes Scott MacDonald) and bring in their heavy political hitter, Michael Stewart. A vigorous defence of Scott Brown was required and Stewart provided it in such a way that he may get another gig on the Celtic PLC legal team for the upcoming hearing on Brown.
The jaw-dropping and unchallenged lack of balance that Stewart preaches is of a perverse level for a public broadcaster and is more what you'd expect from a Celtic in house TV channel. It's as if a very public campaign was mounted with the banner reading 'Scott Brown is Innocent'.
Despite the perceived injustice of Brown being cited post OF game being the programmes main issue,....they never even mentioned (on the podcast version) the fact that he had just got away with another one after not being cited for a stamp in the St.Mirren fixture. I wondered if this news had come too late to mention it and checked to see if Clyde Superscoreboard had covered it. Clyde mentioned it at the top of the show (ie. more or less the same time that Sportsound begins).
Had Alfredo Morelos done what Scott Brown did last weekend and against St.Mirren, there is no doubt whatsoever that Sportsound would have provided an unbalanced and unchallenged case for the prosecution, followed by open mouthed and loud condemnation at getting away with another stamp.

In der modernen Kriegsführung, spätestens seit dem 2. WK wissen wir, daß die Vorherrschaft in der Luft kriegsentscheidend ist. Ist es kein Krieg auf dem Schlachtfeld, muß man den Propaganda-Krieg gewinnen. Das haben die Yahoos seit den frühen 2000ern angestrebt und geschafft. Das ist alles Einbahnstraße und zieht sich durch alle Ebenen der Verbände und Medien.

Übrigens ... nahezu kein Kommentar im TV und Radio der BBC Scotland am Donnerstag oder gestern.

Hello!
Just noted that the BBC Scotland sports editors saw it fit to plant an article about a historic Celtic victory / former player on the Rangers FC main page (as of Saturday 11.15). It would do the BBC and BBC Scotland in particular no harm to ask their sports editors and reporters to stop this goading and petulant behaviour untowards Rangers and their support. One can understand that some do not like the club nor the removal of the media credentials of the controversial Chris McLaughlin, but the BBC as such should stand above such things. While the media has a lot of rights and privileges, it also has responsibilities. Mr. McLaughlin time and again forgot the latter and was rightly reprimanded by the BBC Trust. He went on with his mantra and got his reward, this time from the club. The latter remained and remains open to the BBC though, which in turn has a responsibility to the license player. Perhaps it is time to move on from the seemingly petulant mindset amongst the BBC Scotland sports team - many of who apparently share a great dislike for Rangers FC. But if that is the case, the cabal and their credential as journalists needs questioned. Yours sincerely, ...

... und es verwundert nicht, daß es keinerlei Reaktion gab.

Zitat von Club 1872

Update on BBC Scotland Dispute

30 July, 2019

Club 1872 would like to bring members and supporters up to date with our correspondence with BBC Scotland regarding their coverage of Rangers Football Club. Supporters will be aware that BBC Scotland still refuses to cover Rangers in the same manner as other Scottish clubs due to a long running dispute over the biased reporting of Chris McLaughlin. That dispute continues and it is our opinion that a culture is now well established within BBC Scotland that Rangers are fair game for false and malicious reporting. BBC Scotland remains the only major media platform in Scotland not to report at all on Rangers’ new diversity and inclusion campaign, Everyone Anyone.

Before this season has even begun in earnest we have seen two examples of inaccurate reporting about Rangers which have had to be corrected by BBC Scotland. The BBC Scotland position is that these are honest mistakes – incompetent rather than malicious – despite the frequency with which they occur.

Club 1872 has submitted twelve separate complaints to BBC Scotland over the past few months. All of these have been escalated through three stages of their internal complaints process and a number have now been passed to OfCom where they currently sit. Complaints regarding the frequent, biased, false reporting of BBC Scotland employees on social media cannot unfortunately be referred to OfCom and have been whitewashed by BBC Scotland.

It has become clear during this process that BBC Scotland routinely denies the basis for any complaints regarding their coverage of Rangers and it appears that their complaints process is designed to be as difficult as possible for members of the public to navigate. Different reference numbers are regularly assigned to the same complaint to make it difficult to track and generic responses are routinely used for complaints which have no relation to each other.

One of the central issues with BBC Scotland reporting is their stated duty of impartiality which has gone missing where Rangers are concerned. It is here that we have seen the most disturbing comments from BBC Scotland in response to our complaints.
Below are direct quotes from their correspondence:

“There is no requirement for a BBC reporter or presenter to post about a particular event or development, or to treat similar stories in the same way.”
“There is no requirement in the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines which states a presenter…has to give equivalent coverage or treatment to similar or related stories.”
“The decision of what news stories and events to report is a matter of legitimate editorial discretion for editors and programme-makers. They are entitled to use their judgement to decide which stories to cover and the manner in which they are covered. There is no requirement which states a particular event or development has to be reported by a broadcaster, or that similar or related issues or events have to be given equivalent coverage or treatment.”

We believe it is important that supporters are given this information because it is now clear that BBC Scotland does not consider it has a duty to be impartial but that it can report in any way it sees fit. It is also clear that the tone and content of reporting is totally reliant upon a group of editors, presenters and journalists who can scarcely disguise their dislike of our club and support.
BBC headquarters are aware of the ongoing dispute with BBC Scotland but to date, their intervention has not improved matters. BBC Scotland are strongly resisting any attempts to address their biased coverage of our club.

Senior production staff at BBC Scotland, including their Head of Corporate Affairs, Ian Small, have been presented with evidence that BBC Scotland are regularly using a contributor who has used social media platforms to publish sectarian comments and hate speech towards Rangers supporters. BBC Scotland regularly presents this contributor as a neutral commentator on a number of news and current affairs programmes, despite senior staff being aware of the history mentioned above. This is just one indicator of the scale of the cultural issues within Pacific Quay.

We will continue to submit complaints regarding biased and dishonest coverage of our club and support, and we would encourage individual supporters to do the same despite the difficulties involved. At some point, BBC Scotland will have to address these systemic issues and start to address their refusal to provide licence payers in Scotland with the service to which they are entitled.

Zitat von BBC complaint reply

Answer to complaints to BBC , a small admission from them of wrongdoing

Thanks for contacting us following Sportsound on 5 August. We've
received a range of complaints about our coverage of incidents involving
Rangers supporters at Rangers’ game with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

To allow us to reply promptly, and to ensure we use our TV Licence fee
resources as efficiently as possible, we’re sending this response to
everyone. We’re sorry we can’t reply individually and to every point
that’s been made, but we hope the following response will address most
concerns.

The opening weekend of the new Scottish football season was, again,
dominated by off-field events – this just a few days after Scottish
football clubs and Police Scotland had promised a crackdown on incidents
of unacceptable conduct at grounds.

The incidents involving Rangers supporters that were discussed on the
programme included sectarian singing, the pitch invasion following the
winning goal, the damage caused to the disabled fan enclosure, and
difficulties encountered in gaining entry to Rugby Park prior to
kick-off, including reports of crushing and fans opening a gate to gain
entry. Mention of these issues provided context to the overall coverage
of the game; their relevance reflected by the coverage of these events
across the Scottish media.

On Michael Stewart’s comments on Sportsound, regarding incidents prior
to the Kilmarnock v Rangers game, BBC Sport Scotland senior staff have
discussed this matter with Michael and he has indicated that his
comments were made in reference to a video posted on various sites; for
example:

https://www.thescottishsun.co.…ers-fans-rugby-park-gate/

(Please note that the BBC is not responsible for the content found on any external sites.)

While this was referenced within the programme, we accept that it should
have been made much more explicit that his comments about crushing were
made in relation to what that video appears to show.

Following a listener’s email, presenter Jonathan Sutherland did return
to the issue of crushing towards the end of the programme, to seek to
clarify Michael’s comments. However, we acknowledge the first-hand
accounts of crushing outside Rugby Park and, consequently, that the view
that crushing can only take place in a confined space, as Michael
contended, is a view that should have been challenged on the programme.

More broadly, it’s worth noting that BBC Scotland sports news
correspondent, Chris McLaughlin, in addition to introducing the response
from Kilmarnock, also gave Rangers’ statement on the stadium entry
problems, the pitch invasion and the disabled fans enclosure damage,
including Rangers’ concerns of safety issues around congestion and fans
fearing they were in danger of being crushed.

Chris also talked about the report on stadium safety in Scottish
football and the steps that some clubs have taken to try to tackle
unacceptable conduct at grounds. And Michael Stewart and Tom English,
together with Jonathan Sutherland and Chris McLaughlin, discussed the
issues of unacceptable behaviour at football grounds across Scotland and
what’s being done, or should be done, by all the clubs and the
authorities to address these issues.

We have also looked at the Tom English tweet regarding supporters being
“trapped outside Rugby Park”. BBC Sport Scotland senior staff have
discussed this with Tom, and we acknowledge your concern at the tone and
language of this tweet and that it wasn’t appropriate.

It’s important to note too that Tom does make clear in the Twitter
exchanges that followed that he was making reference to what the video
(linked to above) appears to show. In those exchanges Tom explicitly
notes that at no time did he say there was not a crush. What he says is:
“That video does not represent a crush. Nothing like it. I’ve asked if
the crush happened elsewhere. I’d like to know.”

Rangers continue to operate an exceptional ban on one of our
journalists, which severely restricts our ability to report freely from
Ibrox. We have offered to return to Ibrox to provide match commentaries,
while we try to find a permanent resolution to the overall dispute, but
Rangers have said this is unacceptable. We continue to speak with the
club as, together, we seek to find a mutually agreeable solution to the
current impasse.

We would also like to assure you that, contrary to what’s been
suggested, the BBC is not biased for or against Rangers FC. Our
reporting is undertaken fully in line with the BBC’s Editorial
Guidelines and with the Broadcasting Code which is laid down by the
independent industry regulator, Ofcom.

Thanks again for getting in touch. We’ve shared your feedback with the relevant teams and senior management.

... und natürlich die blanke Lüge wegen dem "exceptional ban" gegen Chris McLaughlin, der natürlich NICHT verbannt wurde, doch wegen seinem ständigen anti-Rangers, neuer Klub etc. Quark einfach mal keine Presseakkreditierung bekam. Und es besteht da nicht etwa ein Einsehen ob der vielfachen Verfehlungen des Mannes, der m.W. ohnehin mittlerweile in Nordengland arbeitet, sondern man tut so, daß ohne ihn keine sinnvolle Reportage aus Ibrox etc. möglich ist? Wie naiiv sind die? Naja, eigentlich nicht, sie sind nur zynische Idioten die mit den Fernsehgebühren machen was sie wollen.

Das hier war bestimmt auch nur ein Fehler, ehrlich!

Vom wöchentlichen Beitrag zum Verhalten der BBC Scotland - Leute uns gegenüber, eine köstliche Analyse unseres Gersnet-BBC-Beobachters:

Zitat von 26th of foot

Dog Whistling Dixie.

This morning's 'Call Kaye' on BBC Radio Scotland had a stand-in presenter, I think it was Laura Maxwell? Being topical, they had an hour's phone-in on Racism in Football, last night's events in Sofia to the fore? Well, not really, it was a convenient hook to hang Rangers. After the introduction, citing Bulgaria; it was brought home to the racism(sectarianism) charges brought against Rangers by UEFA/FARE. Callers were invited to contact the show and 'Call it Out'.

Of course, 'Call it Out' is the organisation formed by Angela Haggerty and Jeanette Findlay in the wake of Cannon Tom White being spat upon, outside his parish church, St Alphonsus on London Road, the Barras. The Dog Whistle worked, the first few callers were keen to equate Rangers fans singing sectarian songs with racism. A caller wanted to talk about Morelos and the racism he has faced, quickly let go in favour of some other caller, more on message with 'Call it Out'.

The conclusion to the item was Humza Yousaf, our very own Scottish Justice Minister who managed to loose all the evidence against nine fellow Sellik supporters, charged with hanging two effigies from the roof of Sellik Park's North Stand. One effigy had a Rangers scarf, the other had an orange collarette, both hung for over an hour above a dozen KAH(Kill All H-u-ns) flags. Humza promised strong action if and when racism is called out.

Kevin Clancy is appointed Referee for Tynecastle.

PQ did not discuss Kevin Clancy NOT being appointed to officiate at any Scottish fixture last weekend. It was his own fault, he did not award Sellik two penalties at Easter Road and Peter's will cannot be opposed. Kevin will be given another opportunity at redemption this coming Sunday and Peter will be watching. The Gang Hut expect no less of their Leader. Peter moves in mysterious ways, and that is NOT up for discussion. You can whistle Dixie.

Zitat von BBC Scotland - Mark Daly

Rangers 'covered up' reasons for abuse claim coach's departure
By Mark Daly & Craig Williams BBC Disclosure

New evidence has emerged suggesting Rangers FC covered up the reasons why a former youth coach accused of child sex offences left the club.
Rangers have consistently said they sacked Gordon Neely in 1991 after a complaint from worried parents and then reported him to the police.
But the new evidence shows that is not what the club said publicly at the time - and Neely's alleged victim insists a police report was never made.
Rangers denied a cover-up.
Gordon Neely coached children at Hutcheson Vale, Hibernian and Rangers in the 1980 and 90s. A BBC Scotland investigation in 2017 revealed the extent of his abuse at those three clubs, including allegations that Hibs failed to pass on concerns about his behaviour when Neely moved to Rangers in 1986.
Neely would carry on abusing at Rangers until a complaint was made in 1991 which led to his dismissal.
Rangers told the BBC in 2017 that Neely was sacked and reported to the police. Two months ago, the club told The Sun: "It was important Rangers took both steps without delay to address this matter."

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/…/_109275111_rangers_1.jpg

However, this has been called into question after the BBC obtained an article in the club's newspaper marking his departure, which made no mention of abuse concerns and wished him "every success in the future".
The boy who made the complaint which led to Neely's sacking has broken his silence and says Rangers' statements that a police report was made are "total lies".
'What just happened?'
Former Rangers youth team player John (not his real name) says he fell victim to Neely in 1991.
One night before training, when he was aged 14, he says he was told to go and see Neely in his office over an apparent breach in discipline.
John said: "[Neely] says: 'Well there's two ways we can deal with this… I can go and tell your parents and you'll never play for Rangers again. Or we can do it my way which is that I'll take you in this office, pull your trousers down, and spank your bum'… And I said: 'Well, we'll do it your way.'
"And he went and snibbed the door… took down my pants and he bent me over his knee and I can always remember his hand going up...
"I shut my eyes expecting the thud. But just at that he said: 'That's enough… go and get changed and go for your training.' So I don't know whether something's spooked him… but that's what he done.'
"I was… confused, a bit 'what just happened there? What have I done?' I've not done anything wrong. I was just, I couldn't believe it."

'They didn't go the police'

John told his parents. They phoned Ibrox and were invited to a meeting with the then manager and assistant manager, Graeme Souness and Walter Smith. He says the initial meeting took place in Souness' car, across from Ibrox.
He says the meeting then continued in Souness' office and Neely was brought in and confronted.
John said: "[Neely's] face just fell when he saw me. Mr Souness said: 'This boy says you had him over your knee.' He said: 'No I didn't boss, no, no.' I broke down and said: 'You did so.'
Neely later confessed, and Souness sacked him on the spot.
Since 2016, Rangers has insisted it also reported Neely to the police.

"Total lies," said John. "No, they didn't go the police.
"When I made my statement to the police [in 2016] they said they couldn't find any trace of any record at all going back to what Rangers are saying.
"Nobody came to speak to me either when I was that age. That's how I know nothing was reported to the police."
Martin Henry, who led the SFA review into child abuse in football, told the BBC his review had been "unable to confirm either way whether an actual formal report was made to Strathclyde police at that time".

Wished 'every success in the future'
But despite Rangers' claims that Neely was sacked and reported to the police, that's not what they told the public.
In an edition of the in-house weekly newspaper Rangers News on 20 March 1991, a story titled "Neely Moves On" appears on page two.
It states that Neely "resigned last week after spending four years at Ibrox".
It continues: "Neely, who was previously with Dundee United and Hibernian, has decided to go into business.
"The club wishes him every success in the future."

When shown the article, John told the BBC: "Well, there you go. On one hand they tell you they went to the police. And on the other hand, he went with their best wishes. A paedophile? Unbelievable. A cover-up."
Martin Henry said the article was "concerning," and was "new information" that his review had not previously been aware of.
He added: "It would concern me if any institution knew that somebody presented a potential risk to young people and didn't follow it up with due care. And from what I've read, that appears to be the case.
"I can only construe it could well be that this was a public relations attempt to just explain Mr Neely's departure and to do it in a way that was as less compromising as possible."
Mr Henry's full SFA report will be published this year.

Rangers did not respond to a request for a comment from BBC Scotland, instead it issued a statement to The Herald.
A spokesman for club said: "Rangers based its prior description as to what occurred on trusted first-hand accounts from those with personal knowledge of what took place and the appropriate steps taken at that time.
"To suggest... that these are invalidated by a short, filler piece in the Rangers News written almost 30 years ago by someone who clearly had no knowledge of the events, or the reasons for Neely's sacking is nonsense."
He added: "Rangers will do all it can to assist in offering support and counselling to anyone affected. Their wellbeing should be at the centre of every right thinking person's concern."

Es gibt da keinerlei "neue Details", denn alles ist seit Jahren genau so bekannt, nur will man dem Editor der Rangers News nun unterstellen, er hätte bewußt Neelys Abschied beschönigt ... ohne mal den GMV einzuschalten und zu vermuten, daß der Mann von dem Vorfall keine Ahnung hatte. Apropros, Nely hat dem Bengel angedroht, ihn "übers Knie zu legen" und den Hintern zu versohlen. Was er letztlich auch nicht tat. Die ELTERN (!) wollten nicht, daß das an die Polizei weitergeben wird, jetzt kommt er daher und sagt, wir hätten es anzeigen müssen? Dazu mal ein Kommentar von Mark Dingwall auf FF:

Zitat von Mark Dingwall - FF

It’s never pleasant to have to confront the sickness of child abuse in football.

It’s even more unpleasant to find a section of fans of a club hoping
and praying that children were abused at another club in order to
deflect from an ongoing, decades-long, history of abuse by what may have
been a series of random individuals but which increasingly looks like a
linked group at the club they support.

Sadly, this sickness also infects some journalists in Scotland, and
elsewhere, who in pursuit of a story have over the last few years sought
to pressurise victims into making statements tailored not to unveil the
truth but to attempt to muddy the waters and create a situation where
‘one club was as bad as the other.’

I wouldn’t accuse Daly of any of the above but it is instructive to
give that background as the small coterie of journalists working in this
area are well-known to one another. By repetition and suggestion
hunches and prejudice may become ‘facts.’ That is the culture.

By their very nature, predatory paedophiles are secretive and
manipulative - often retaining some control of their victims even into
adulthood. The most helpful way to encourage victims to come forward is
the pursuit of the truth and the examination of the evidence by the
police and courts.

With regard to Daly’s latest story it is instructive to
re-familiarise ourselves with the facts. Whilst at Rangers there have
been two alleged victims of Gordon Neely and one of Harry Dunn - the
number of charges and convictions I leave to journalists to inform us of.

The facts with regard to one of Neely’s victims are reasonably
well-known - a parent brought an incident to the notice of the club -
the same day Neely was called to a meeting with Souness, Walter Smith
and former security executive and ex-police officer Alistair Hood. He
was sacked.

Despite the parent not wishing to report the incident to the police
Alistair Hood’s advice was that it should be - and this was done. 30
years ago that would have been the Strathclyde force. Given Police
Scotland’s recent record in losing files it comes as no surprise that
they can’t find paper files from a predecessor organisation about an
incident 30 years ago. However, we do have two living witnesses to that
meeting.

Daly then reports a story about a club employee confronting the child
and complaining about the complaint about Neely. This story is again
instructive. In claiming the club was negligent it actually reinforces
the argument - as soon as a complaint was made Neely was sacked.

The Rangers News clipping about Neely departure is being used in a
manner which would lead you to believe the club were complicit in his
behaviour. It’s very short and to the point - and why would a Rangers
News employee be expected to know the ins and outs of his departure when
it’s the subject of a report to the police about an incredibly serious
matter which may, or may not, turn out to be true?

The embarrassment for Celtic fans, is of course, the fawning coverage
complete with presentations, pictures and shaking of hands which
accompanied Torbett’s departure. And, of course, Torbett was welcomed
back.

Lastly, the implication is clearly given that Rangers facilitated
Neely continued involvement in football when he set up a private vehicle
to run soccer classes. No club, or individual, had or has the ability
to stop the activities of a private individual when the police can’t.
That is an impossibilist scenario.

Wenig später erschien auch ein Kommentar der Rangers ...

Zitat von Rangers FC via FF

angers response to Mark Daly's Gordon Neely article

‘BBC Scotland’s reporting on these horrific incidents and, in
particular, its sensationalist and unfair accusation of a cover up by
Rangers is disgraceful.

'Rangers based its prior description as to what occurred on trusted
first-hand accounts from those with personal knowledge of what took
place and the appropriate steps taken at that time. To suggest, as BBC
Scotland’s Mark Daly has done, that these are invalidated by a short,
filler piece in the Rangers News written almost 30 years ago by someone
who clearly had no knowledge of the events, or the reasons for Neely’s
sacking is nonsense. Indeed, it is shameful.

'BBC Scotland has a history of inaccurate reporting when commenting on
Rangers and a string of apologies given to Rangers by BBC Scotland in
recent times is clear evidence of this. However, on a matter of such
gravity we do not think it is unreasonable to expect better than Mr
Daly’s report.

'The important people here are the victims of abuse and we owe it to
them to deal sensitively and supportively with the issues they raise.

'Rangers will do all it can to assist in offering support and
counselling to anyone affected. Their wellbeing should be at the centre
of every right thinking person’s concern.

'Ridiculous claims of a cover up against those seeking to deal with such
matters in a sensitive manner suggests sensationalism and in this
instance point to a desire to attack Rangers as being more important to
those reporting these horrific incidents than looking after the victims
of abuse.’
