Scottish (Rangers) Media

[DinkyTwo]

Glasgow Times, a relatively well known Glasgow media outlet are suggesting that Hibs will face disciplinary action for our X (Twitter) account posting "Who had 20 minutes" after Rangers were today awarded yet another penalty.

If we didn't already know it, this is what we are up against.

Thousands of people will see this post within a few hours.

The institutional bias in this country towards anything Rangers is disgusting.

Can you imagine Edinburgh Live suggesting that any football club should be up in-front of the SFA, with clauses quoted from the SFA handbook, for something so innocuous?

I’m glad it’s getting called out and the greater the exposure the better.

It’s really embarrassing that we all know that they will get a penalty at some point during a non OF game. No matter how soft. They will always get one.

[SteveHFC]

Hopefully we tell the SFA to **** off.

Ban the Twitter guy, maybe if we hire Nick De Marco we could get it down to 1 game and 1 suspended.

They probably looked at the thread on here where we were guessing the minute of the game they would get a penalty. There is no strict liability and there is no criticism of the officials. Typical of the Weegie press.

Twitter is showing it as having 2m views so definitely got exposure!

I'd imagine most fans forums have a similar thread pre sevco.

Sportsound was a bit weird. Had a "fan" on post match. It was more like the guy was a guest and was in the studio with them given the sound quality. They were given a decent bit of airtime

[WeeRussell]

We haven’t explicitly said it’s anything to do with cheating or dodgy officiating. It’s a remark on the amount and frequency of penalties they get (against us), which can’t be denied.

Surely?

Maybe we’ll be asked to explain the comment, in the same way if a manager had said “they seem to get penalties every week” in a post match interview?

Anyway, I liked it.

I agree, there's nothing in it.

What's annoying though is a wide-reaching media company in this country taking offense and quoting multiple rules from the SFA that we've supposedly broken.

It's total and utter bias and shouldn't be tolerated.

Edinburgh Live is part of the Daily Record group so, wouldn’t trust one single thing they say.

[Criswell]

If Tavernier Pen is going to keep playing for Rangers for a few more years as penalty taker, I would suggest that Pele's 1000 goals record may be in some danger.

Can’t wait for them to give the evidence that people were actually quoting prior to the match times they thought they would get a penalty … so the twitter quote is simply a response to true fact. Where’s the crime ? Because it was true ? lol

The same article quotes Clement as saying they would have had 4 except for Scott Wright’s boots apparently being too big - that’s about the same level of inferring incompetence of officials. The use of the word ‘apparently’ is implying the officials got it wrong

[WhileTheChief..]

Probably our best 'Tweet' since it became X.

Keep it up I say.

[LEaston87]

Good. Keep it up Hibs. Happy to set up a gofundme to pay the fines

Encroachment was only given because it would have been impossible to spin as being debatable IMO. If it had been open to debate the goal would have swiftly been given I reckon.

I'd have preferred the tweet to reference the .net thread to be safe, but let's not get distracted here. The real issue is why fans of other teams expect the Huns to be given penalties every week when similar incidents do not result in penalties against the Huns.

[Dr What If?]

Anyone else think that if Hibs were to be disciplined it would long term be a good thing? Posters have already pointed out that the ratio of Rangers penalties for and against would in any other sport result in some form investigation. TV camera's add fuel as we are all able to see again and again what is and isn't given, add in VAR and even the most conservative viewer is starting to think something is up......is it corruption, favouritism, are betting syndicates involved? If we as a club are punished for daring to even shine the smallest amount of light on this then that just adds more fuel.
If there is something underhand at play then Hibs have just subtly said 'we are watching you'. A punishment sounds like a reaction from some increasingly nervous criminals.

And the case for Rangers is that they get more penalties because they are in the opposition box more, which doesn't stack up because Celtic don't get as many. Plus, an equally as important point are the non-penalties against.

That should do it.

Good job they weren’t covering the Edinburgh Pantomime this year*´…penalty to Rangers’ was a running gag. It has entered the mainstream now. In fact it could be in the running for phrase of the year. Hard to see how it could breach SFA guidelines when it is a reality and not just an opinion.

Celtic and Rangers have both had 13; penalties.

[offshorehibby]

We better watch out or the huns will be bringing another court injunction banning the term 'penalty rangers' as been offensive.

There is a horse called Penalty to Rangers which runs in America. Doesn’t seem to have done much though and hasn’t run for 5 months

You may jest, but if any sanctions are to be coming our way for the tweet then the phrase will by definition, have been deemed to be of an offensive nature and its use will be discouraged across Scotland.

[BILLYHIBS]

Penalty for Rangers should be added to the Oxford English Dictionary beside Squeaky Bum Time

Might be worth double checking they have the correct definition of the word Hun ? 😀

Who would do the investigating? The succulent lamb media? The SPFL which is afraid of upsetting the Ugly Sisters?
