See this has been posted on the BBC website today. Have a read and see if you can spot the intent on Rangers being a new club. They just can't give it a rest
Reaching the Ramsdens Cup final is a major breakthrough for Rangers, according to manager Ally McCoist.

Rangers reached the final of the tournament for clubs outside the top flight by beating Stenhousemuir 1-0.

"The healing process which gets us back to where we want to be is going to be a slow one, " said McCoist.

"This is another step. I said to the boys before the game that winning tonight would be a major step forward for the club. "

It is the first time a team in Rangers colours will be in a national final since 2010, when they beat Celtic to win the League Cup.

And it is the first time they have reached the Ramsdens Cup final, having made their debut while in Division Three last season.

C9. For god sake man u are parad out your skull mate. Please come off the mushies. It is a step forward. I don't see the logic in your assesment.

I've no idea what your on about mate nothing wrong with that at all. Who cares what the media say about us anyway? We think it's against us the Celtic think it's against them they base there stuff on what sells whether that's playing to the fans of one side or antagonising the others both at the same time. They've had a field day with the Rangers stuff & it really annoys me but there's nothing wrong with reporting that we've made it to a final for the 1st time in 3 years Ramsdens or not lol. What about the desperate attempts to sell papers by putting stuff like Samaras to Barca on the back both sets of fans are going to buy that I did for a laugh at it. Dundee Utds players continuously being called Wonderkids I've heard the 2 lads are good but they throw that wonder kid about so often it really annoys me. Rant over bit off topic lol

I may have picked it up wrong but I am sick of the last few years reporting. Especially the BBC. Correct Larky, it's what sells papers. God we had the story about the guy who was heckled with his Celtic shirt wearing dog on a bus last month. That was front page over the War in Syria or serious news.

Also it was 2011 we last were in a final not 2010. The report was also left uncredited

OP = whilst having no tome for the way in which the BBC have reported on our club, they are not trying to say that we are a new club. If you read the statement properly, it says that Rangers debuted in the Ramsdens cup last year whilst being in Division three. This is actually accurate ( a first for most BBC reporters ).

And? what's the issue angering you?it is the first tiem we have reached Ramsdens final or have I been asleep and missed something?
Our directors mucked up hence why we in the media so much, both old ones and current, until we the support start accepting this we will always be looking for others to blame. I personally don't give a crap what's they say be it good or bad? as long we still here playing football.

Op there's not much wrong with the story except the bit about our last cup final as it should have said 2011 but it was maybe the 2011 result that caused confusion what was the score that day anyway lol

I'm with you coisty, for those of you that can't/won't see the problem, it's the use of the phrase 'a team in Rangers colours' that's the problem. Why not just say Rangers as they have been instructed, the Beeb have already been warned about this? And before you start, it isn't petty to pick up on this, make no mistake, terms like this are designed to needle us.

I was going to agree with Jaggybunnet and not just because he has the best name on this site but agreed with the dislike of a web sitesound but now agree with Duccablue and Coisty. Why say "a team in Rangers colours"? Remember just because were paranoid doesn't mean the bu*gers are not out to get us

Ed for the second time in a couple of weeks I have been critical of a national broadcaster's radio sports programme and it has appeared on here as if I said "web sitesound"?. Are you Richard "I grew up hating Rangers" Gordon? Or are we not allowed to be specific in our scepticism about lack of impartiality of national taxpayer funded companies?
