Ladbrokes SPFL-PR warning media to stop title stripping talk

1623

I’m told by a broadcast journalist friend that Jim Traynor, of PR company Level5, started Newco Rangers broadcast media conference yesterday with a warning to journalists that discussion about title stripping was off limits.

The law was that if manager Mark Warburton was asked about the proposed sanction for Oldco Rangers financial doping the conference would be stopped.

Say what you like about journalists, but they regard being told what to ask, or not to ask, as a line in the sand issue. Traynor, a journalist for decades, should have known better than to make such a rookie mistake.

He was told that attempts to subvert discussion about Oldco being stripped of titles is not something that would be accommodated. By the broadcast media, anyway.

Warburton was subsequently asked about title stripping and although he was happy to answer, I’m told, this angered the would-be news-denier, whereupon he “lost his temper”.

Post-conference there was a bit of chat about how they would be able to appropriately report on less-partisan issues, like the Level5 PR-controlled Ladbrokes SPFL, although there was a consensus that “He’ll fall out with everyone soon enough. He always does”.

    Dingwall soon, reckon it will be hard enough, Jim McIntyre has them playing decent stuff, 3 points will be had tho, in spite of the cheats with the whistles and flegs.

    Apologies for not getting back to you last night I fell asleep.

     

     

    I’ve watched and heard Celtic players shouting and disagreeing about starting positions when defending free kicks and corners. Yes the finishing position is the biggest factor but ultimately the starting position is what determines that.

  7. Not getting involved in the poppy discussion but I was disturbed by a conversation I heard in Cumbernauld town centre today.

     

     

    A woman, standing outside a shop, was wearing one of the sparkly, bejangled ones and was being fawned over by several others asking where she got it.

     

     

    No bother but less than ten yards away from them were two youngsters selling the cheap, paper versions.

     

     

    None of the others were actually wearing poppies.

     

     

    Ps we’ve been advised by the police not to enter Dingwall until after 2pm tomorrow because a remembrance celebration is taking place.

     

     

    Show sense Celts.

  8. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Delaney’s, that’s awful what both your grandfather’s endured.

     

     

    Bobby Murdoch , sorry I didn’t reply earlier about our title win at Tannadice .

     

     

    We were very good that season ,after flinging away the league the year before.

     

     

    In the 80/81 season, United beat us 3 nil at Celtic Park in the league cup semi, about ten days later we beat them 3 nil at Tannadice in the league.

     

     

    Five months later,they beat us 3. 2 in the Scottish Cup semi final replay at Hampden. Later the same month, we beat them 3. 2 at Tannadice to win the league.

     

     

    Same season, a poster pointed this out earlier this week, we humped Hearts 6 nil on the first of April. It was very enjoyable.

     

    day.

  9. On The Stripping of Titles from the huns, Im Just waiting on our Esteemed Captain from the Lisbon Lions, mr mcneil , to lend his weight to the campaign , then i will join wholeheatedly, Till then i will Spend my Time with the Gorgeous Ms Diamond Jackson…ps ( No Rush Billy)….

  10. That ISLAM Religion continuously undermines the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

     

     

    It is written from the start.

     

     

    From Start to Finish, it undermines Jesus Christ.

     

     

    Counterfeits are Counterfeits.

  11. Speaking of Adds on site…i have a BELTER…….VAGINAL ATROPHY and How It Can Affect YOU….

    Our greatest captain isn’t in a position to do that these days.

     

     

    Anyway it shouldn’t be his responsibility.

    “I’ve watched and heard Celtic players shouting and disagreeing about starting positions when defending free kicks and corners. Yes the finishing position is the biggest factor but ultimately the starting position is what determines that.”

     

     

    I don’t see a lot of difference in how we line up from how other teams line up and I don’t think your starting position determines any inability to react. There should be communication and directions flowing between players but disagreement just makes the watching spectator nervous.

     

     

    I hope you and we enjoy Dingwall. We let go of two good athletes in Fraser and Irvine who will play against us- I hope they both have an off day.

     

     

    Fingers crossed for 3 points but our line up should be interesting given the injuries and suspensions.

  14. Shame that the tax cheats have been overshadowed by the lawell policies :(

     

     

    Bringing in a coach who had no experience in Europe ( that’s where our major income is from )

     

    When I heard Ronny say that he believed in wide players over all else my ears pricked up Thought mmm. Hopefully he does not think this way in Europe

     

    Against Legia I was shocked Tactically clueless

     

    Only one game against carrier bag have we play as we should in Europe

     

    When you have a manager who has never coached in Europe added to the park/lawell projects ( I mean Blackett and the rest of the duds). Then it’s a receipt for total disaster both on the park and on the balance sheet

     

    Our policy of not looking to build a team , but only to fill out squad with potential money ball players has back fired

     

    There has been zero plan to improve the team on the park except to appoint a coach who said he could develop his own players and would be judged on Europe

     

    Ronny has never developed any top class players and has never had any runs in Europe before Celtic

     

    But our CEO picked him with zero evidence of his past ,

     

    Peter lawwel and his policies are killing the Celtic football club

     

    Immediately. Ronny gone. Bring in a little bit of experience in Europe. Give the team a chance in Turkey

     

    Park out immediately To even put a player like Blackett on the team bus is a sackable offence

     

    Watched his debut. Mate of mine had his mouth wide open saying what on earth is that. Not a one off performance so park out

     

    Lawwell. That man that pulls all the strings at Celtic park

     

    Huge amount of income lost on his polices

     

    There Ronny appointment final straw

     

    Out now

  15. Hamiltontim…aye ok..

     

    Then How about One , Just One of His team mates,….And RESPONSIBILITY dont come into it.

     

    But You Know That..

     

    Right?

    Marcus still has his season ticket for Paradise. He wants to be on the winning team tomorrow though. Nae split feelings. Mon the Celts.
