The Oxford Don Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Stuart Bathgate of the Scotsman - I salute you. Hopefully now other outlets will come forward and start to present an alternative to the pro-Rangers commentary which has inundated us since news of the administration first broke: http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spl/stuart_bathgate_no_sympathy_when_the_public_purse_is_being_short_changed_1_2122590 I don't agree with everything he says, but he is literally the first media pundit (and certainly the first working for a Scottish paper) to come out with the 'alternative' point of view. Apologies if the link has already been pasted elsewhere. Link to comment
Jonty Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Patrick Barclay said pretty much the same thing in an article earlier in the week. Also liked what he had to say a couple of weeks back on Liverpool. Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thats not a bad article. I notice on Sportsound Jim Spence has been the only voice arguing that Scottish Football will survive without Rangers and indeed he even said if he had his way both OF clubs would be off to another league or whatever. Also see he attempted to keep some focus on Murray in all of this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jimspence/2012/02/murray_must_shoulder_blame_for.html Credit where its due - all the other pundits kept trying to shout him down etc but he stood his corner.

Karl Fletcher Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Despite him being a Jute, I like Jim Spence. I always have time for people that demonstrate nothing but disdain for the Old Firm :thumbs: Also see Cosgrove, Stuart Link to comment

I always have time for people that demonstrate nothing but disdain for the Old Firm :thumbs: Also see Cosgrove, Stuart spence tried to explain his reasons for believing the league does not need Rangers or Celtic the other night. He was rudely interrupted by Chick Young and Traynor at least 3 or 4 times with the usual pro hun/tim guff. They didn't even let him finish. It just shows their ignorance to the situation and the fact they simply do not want to listen to any other argument. Link to comment

Aye, we should all get in his blog en mass to voice our support and point out Traynor and Young clearly wouldn't let him have his say as they have an OF agenda at heart. Link to comment

To be fair it would appear the green arse cheek is prepared to lose the blue - we are really only seeing the outing of the huns in the media. Link to comment
