I, theonlywayisup, promise that I'll never ever purchase or even touch the paper called the Daily Record. I will not even look at their website. I'll encourage all Hibs fans to do likewise.

There's no going back. I've had enough of their lies and distortion of facts.

These threads always confuse me.

Which Hibs fan, and thus I assume sentient being, exchanges cold, hard cash for the Daily Record these days??

I mean, honestly??

I shall "boycott" it by continuing as I have done for the previous 31 years and not touching it with a bargepole.

Wouldn't buy that rag anyway. Their hun arse sooking is beyond pathetic. They stirred the pot during the Scott Allan saga last year in favour of their beloved rangers and their reporting of the cup final aftermath was shocking.


Keith Jackson doesn't even have the dignity to apologise for his downright lies that "11 rangers players were brutally attacked". Pathetic, disgusting attempt to join in with rangers "oh it was the big bad hibees, we only came on to save our players"etc etc pish.

Disgusting rag and I hope the club speak out about how they have treated this club. I hope none of their shabby journalists (in the loosest sense of the word) never again enter ER.

Complaining to the Record in Glasgow will be a waste of time.

The paper is owned by the Trinity Mirror Group,

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/00082548/officers

Try a complaint to the CEO . He's probably unaware of the vile , lying , rag that kids on its a newspaper , employing Sevco a*se lickers, is part of the group of companies he is responsible for.

I can't join any boycott for the simple reason that I have never bought the rag and never visited their website.

The closest I've come to their crap is when it gets copied and posted on here.

Also, I've unfollowed them on Twitter including Jackson and Waddell. A proper boycott has to involve that as they value their 'reach' on Twitter.

The only way that a boycott will have any influence is if we all boycott the places that sell the Record. Tell your local newsagents/convenience store that you will not be buying anything from them until they stop selling the rag. If 10 or 20 retailers stop selling their newspaper then it will have a small influence.

A friend of mine phoned the SFA Travel Club back in the early 2000s over the lack of information re the tickets for a Hampden friendly. " We have put an advert in the Daily Record re ticketing arrangements " the girl at the Sfa told him.
" What about people who buy a newspaper in the morning " replied my mate. The girl went off on one praising the paper for all they do for Scottish football. Rather fierce in her defence of the paper I was told.

I very seldom buy newspapers of any kind these days. However, once every 6 weeks or so, when waiting on the wife coming out the hairdresser, I buy a paper to read whilst sitting having my bacon roll etc. I have to admit, it is normally the D.R. I buy but when I seen the headline on Saturday, I was raging and opted for something else. I have sworn to myself that not another penny will be spent on that rag and it will never see the light of day in my house ever again.

Rather than us bombarding them with e-mails, I would rather see just one being sent, from Leeann to their big chief, telling them they are no longer welcome at Easter Road.

Stopped buying it when Jackshun was using that rag as unofficial agent to tout KT and Broony to the OF. And of course KTs "column" in which his ghost writer did everything possible to engineer KTs move to the huns. Tbh i'm surprised that any Hibbie bought it after that.

IMO it's not worth bringing a planned "boycott" to anybodies attention. We know how those who treat the DR as gospel think. "The Hibs can't handle the truth being printed" yadda yadda. I have never bought it and surely any self respecting Hibee wouldn't require any more convincing at this stage?

Smartie
07-08-2016, 05:35 PM
My grandad used to get it and I quite enjoyed reading the football section when I went to see him. That was 30 years ago though.

As an adult the only time I think I think I've ever bought it was when it was the only Scottish paper at a news stand overseas, in the days when you got news from a paper and not online.

It's hard to think of a way we could hurt them as a boycott would (in my case anyway) be ineffective.

I wouldn't be against banning them from Easter Road. It's a rag that is spreading malicious garbage about us to pander to neaderthal hun hordes as it is - they can't get any worse if we refuse to co-operate with them. Their credibility is little better than that of a Rangers fanzine - at least a Rangers fanzine is unapologetic about what it is.

We're not on our own - I reckon the fans of every other club would be with us on the subject of what went on at the cup final. The Rangers ain't popular.

Why should we be giving them access to the holy ground given their view of the club and its supporters?

I don't care if it's contractual or whatever. Let them be in no doubt that we won't be mucked about or taken as mugs.

We can also spread the word to those that continue to buy it, perhaps out of habit, on its fabricated stories. Don't give them a dime in the form of buying it or clicking on the website.

I would imagine the Record has a very low readership across Edinburgh and the East Coast. I like to think that so few Hibs supporters buy this paper for a boycott to make any difference to their sales. I think it is quite clear that they have probably given up enticing our supporter base with any form of journalism that would interest us. Their target market is pretty obvious.

However I do wish to see the club take a stance against them telling them they are not welcome at Easter Road as the stories they have been printing are completely misleading and damaging to the club and its supporters.

Yup. It's no longer about physical sales and they know their niche.
With so many "papers" seemingly opting for the same newsfeeds (you'll never believe what happened next" type click-bait) they are fast becoming indistinguishable from each other. In the move to digital in some cases it seems they almost forgot what they were about - or they changes to become a troll fest - anything to get folks to your site (Scotsman and EEN anybody?)

SuperAllyMcleod
09-08-2016, 07:23 AM
I don't agree with banning them from ER - that just looks childish. Far better to take the moral high ground on this one and condem what they write while refusing to buy it.

While the Record may not lose any sleep about a boycott from Hibs fans, they may do so from fans of all clubs. Perhaps the answer lies in trying to reach out to the fan sites of other clubs (including Keechback) and trying to get a national boycott going?

You use the DR for betting. Others might use it for other non-controversial stuff, such as its showbiz pages. In that, it has a value to its user.

I read it now and again to get a flavour of what is going on in popular culture. In the same way, I might read the Express to see what the right-wing are saying. I may not "enjoy" what I read, but the experience is always worthwhile, for lots of reasons.
