Rangers 2011/2012.

Fucking hell, a couple of paragraphs in praise of a Rangers player means years of abusing and lies about Rangers players equals out, and in your eyes proves the mhedia are after all on Rangers side. Delusional idiot that you are.

Yes. If I thought that picking out articles that say positive or negative things about a team and concluding that the media is therefore for or against that team, then I would be a delusional idiot wouldn't I? I would be exhibiting confirmation bias. Do you remember when we talked about that?

Can you think of anyone on here that does that?

Tar1984 gets it.

Why don't you take some time and think about it a bit more?

Don't get me wrong. The tabloids are utterly abysmal and I swore off them many years ago. But I think the bigger problem these days is that planks like him get their information from the fansites which tend to have the bigger and more troublesome spin on them.

I see the Celtic ones that pop up on newsnow.com and it's the same pish that Anchorage repeats on here but with the teams switched around. I can't help but wonder if the Lennon abuse thing would have happened without the internet echo-chamber hyping these things up.

Sometimes I think we were better off when most people got their football stories from the tabloids. Marginally of course.

Club forums do tend to become hotbeds for the more extreme views, and then it feeds off itself.

Not just limiting this to rangers and celtic forums either. The whole 'houston's job under threat' media story earlier this season emerged from a united forum where there are a couple of dozen regular posters who are just complain furiously about everything. I only heard these views online.

I have a good laugh at rangermedia or talkceltic being full of nutters*, but club forums in general are breeding grounds for extreme opinions. Most people go to the game, have a blether about it in the pub afterwards then go about their week. Now the more fanatical elements have an outlet for banging on about total pish 24/7 - it's like rolling news for idiots.

*there is a general bigotry on these sites you won't find on other club forums though, sorry. On a united forum it's people ranting absurdly about daly being pish (despite banging in the goals all season) or houstie needing sacked, on the rangermedia you will hear a lot of religious & conspiracy stuff. Extreme attitudes in both cases but with different priorities on what to be extreme about.
 
Yes. When I think about a team that's sitting at 10th in the fair play league, led by a chairman who was banned from running businesses for 7 years and currently involved in a gigantic huff with the BBC, the word that springs to mind is definitely "class".
 
Reminds me of Hicham Zerouali, don't know if he played in that game with the aberdeen hooligans. But it was a shame that he died so young.

It must be quite depressing that Sone Aluko is probly your star man these days. Remember when you had amoruso, Mols, van Bronkhurst and even Prso-Albertz was even in your reserves! Youse are going to lose the league so terribly. hahaha
