Club 1872 Statement on Scottish media treatment of Alfredo Morelos

11 February, 2020

Club 1872 notes the criminal charges filed in relation to the racist abuse of Alfredo Morelos by Celtic supporters at the recent Old Firm Game at Celtic Park and we hope the police are able to identify and charge the other perpetrators. We also commend Rangers on their statement yesterday which highlighted the disgraceful coverage which this incident has received in the Scottish press and by BBC Scotland.

Having been in constant contact with the club on this matter over the past week, we were aware that it was likely that criminal charges would be forthcoming and that robust comment from the club would follow. On all matters of interest to the support we make strong and frequent representations to the club. Those discussions will not always be made public but they always take place and it is Club 1872’s priority to effect real and meaningful change on behalf of supporters through our influence as major shareholders.

We fully understand the frustration of supporters who were waiting to hear from Rangers or Club 1872 but who, in the meantime, had to put up with Scottish media commentators and columnists who were more interested in conspiracy theories than calling out racism.

Let us be clear here. Every single journalist or commentator who played down this racist incident or tried to cast doubt on it even happening, was well aware that Rangers had reported it to the police, that the police were investigating and that it was referenced in the match delegate’s report. They are also aware that these are not the first charges to be filed in the past year in relation to racist abuse of Rangers players. For Tom English, Michael Stewart, Bill Leckie, Roger Hannah, Davie Provan and Gordon Waddell, to name but a few, to demand more proof than that before accepting that this incident took place was shameful. For several of them to use it as their latest excuse to attack the club or the player himself was even worse. Their comments mirrored and then legitimised the bile which emanated from the worst corners of social media towards Rangers, Alfredo Morelos and his family. In any similar situation, with any other player and any other club, they would be pariahs.

With that in mind we met with Rangers this morning to discuss how this incident should signal a fresh approach to the relationship between the club and the media in Scotland. The access granted to these media outlets is a valuable commodity and as such it should be justifiable from both a commercial and reputational point of view. With huge, ongoing changes to the way information is consumed it is not clear what benefit the club derives on either of these fronts from the traditional Scottish media. On that basis we have made representations to the club about providing the same access for supporter led, new media and that proposal has been well received.

It is our firm belief that Rangers should no longer provide valuable content to traditional outlets without there being measures in place to deal with those who publish the sort of bile we have seen in recent weeks. Having reached the stage where some pundits and journalists feel it is acceptable to publicly deny, downplay or make excuses for the racism suffered by a Rangers player, it is clear that the relationship with those journalists and their employers needs to be carefully and continuously re-examined.

We fully understand that it is not desirable to completely ban media outlets from Ibrox but it is also not acceptable for media outlets to target our club, fans and players and still expect to be granted unfettered access to the content generated by the club. We will continue our dialogue with both the club and those media outlets over the coming weeks and months with the aim of ensuring that the situation significantly improves.

Yet tomorrow night we will be subjected to 90 minutes and more of their usual sectarian pish.   You couldn't make it up. 

Having watched the lengths this club and their fans will go to point score against the enemies of ‘ra peepul’, their sectarian singing should be the least of our worries tomorrow night. Every song, chant or shout from our end will be scrutinised to find evidence we’re racists too. All it’s going to take is one idiot and we’ll all be tarred with the same brush.

It’s just that now they are ‘forbidden ‘ from asking any questions.

That's a point actually. 

The BBC shat it and declared it wasn't balanced since Jim Riefenstahl wasn't there - its Sevco who have removed themselves from this equation, opting instead to fire off rabid and poorly-punctuated rants into the social media ether from their den of hate. (turns off hypocrisy detector).

"Thank you for your concern Jabba du Sevco but we at the BBC are entitled to canvass the opinion of pundits who, in this country, still retain their right to freedom of speech.

Given that you represent a fledgling club however, we appreciate there is a lack of relevant experience of staff in your employ.  Perhaps you would like to attend a media debate with an experienced and neutral sporting commentator? No?"

Very prophetic but would have been different if they had won and no rallying call for the idiots was required.

I didn’t need to be Nostradamus to see this coming. They’ll be looking to highlight racism win, lose or draw from now on. Not because they have a social conscience or anything noble. It’s to try and gain an advantage for el buffalo and to set the narrative to allow them to sell him in the summer at the expense of preventing ten in a row.

I think they were trying to sell him in the last two windows as well. The narrative will of course be that he found the racism intolerable and was chased out of Scotland rather than they are absolutely skint and desperate for money. 
That much is obvious but it’s there ability to get Michael Stewart punted that I find disgraceful. The BBC have sacrificed him just like they did Jim Spence. They are a bunch of spineless idiots

I understand that has been sacked. Part of the deal is allegedly a confidentiality agreement. So BBC paying for his silence at the same time as Kow-tow-ing to SevCo in the hope they will be readmitted to Ibrox as their reward.

If true that he’s sacked that is shocking , freedom of speech BBC ?

Sorry if I am repeating much of the chain but although never been a fan of Michael Stewart he clearly has been treated really badly. Jim Traynor has fed the ‘new  paranoiacs ” line knowing it stirs up vulnerable Rangers’ fans but seems to think that’s his job. So Stewart has the audacity to criticise him and gets shot down because someone who has orchestrated a don’t speak to the BBC policy  wasn’t given opportunity to respond on the BBC.  Bizarre.

RANGERS have taken swipe at BBC pundit Michael Stewart, claiming that the former Hibs and Hearts midfielder has "shown no remorse" since being reinstated by the national broadcaster.

Stewart was controversially taken off the air by the Beeb after launching into a tirade about Rangers PR chief Jim Traynor, where he called the Ibrox man a 'bully' and a 'dangerous character' on Sportsound.

He was then dropped from all of the BBC's broadcasting platforms before being reinstated yesterday.

I canny quite get my head around why you should show remorse when you are 100% factually accurate.

Sevco truly are a shower of absolute c**ts.

Even the name would immediately remove any credence they may have in any statement, absolute f**king mutants.  1690 ffs, a battle in a foreign country, paid for by the Pope in which the Scots troops were on the losing side.

I repeat absolutely f**king mutants, shooting is too good for these entitled c**ts.
