Michael Stewart Dropped from BBC Radio Scotland

That’s really disappointing. Der Hun have previous for applying pressure on media outlets. Graham Spiers was forced to resign from the Herald after writing a critical article about them.

[Lago]

So M. S. dropped, supposedly, as I said an old boys closed shop & the BBC scared they are going to get black balled, Traynor will be putting another notch on his six gun 😝

[Radium]

... but is at Motherwell with BT covering the game.

The Herald article reports a Sun story and is surrounded by tons of adds. Call me cynical but will wait to see what happens over the next couple of weeks before jumping in. BBC may be happy to stand back and let SKY respond to Celtic as most level headed onlookers can see the manipulation and are smelling

The only pundit worth listening to is punted by the BBC because he dared to question the establishment... What a joke.

What makes it worse is the BBC are banned from Ibrox anyway but rather than rip into them at any (never mind every) opportunity they’d rathe sook up The Rangers arse trying to worm their way back in..,.

Laughable

Stewart may have been dropped, and the BBC has apologised but, importantly, it doesn’t mean that Stewart’s comments were unfounded or incorrect.

We cannot have a club controlling the narative of the free press any longer.It has happened for years in Scotland.The press/pundits should be free to report and not be gagged.Even if Michael Stewart criticised Hibs every week i would defend his right to voice his opinion.The establishment has controlled Scottish football for too long and its time for it to stop.Michael Stewart hopefully will be back on the BBC or we have a real problem in the Scottish media.

TBF that is not what happened Stewart made claims he did not back up with facts you just can't do that on a public broadcast radio.

The BBC isn't banned from Ibrox, the huns banned one of their reporters and the BBC decided they wouldn't send anyone to Ibrox unless the ban against the reporter was lifted, which it hasn't been.

Jim Traynor is allowed to spread malicious lies through the Scottish media but give him a bit back and you get shut down. What a disgrace.

Malicious lies about a collective ie re our support post 21/5/16 are not the mark of a decent man and are the work of a manipulative, immoral one.

The obnoxious welt spread malicious lies about every one of us collectively in 2016. The BBC, like Traynor, spread lies about us in the immediate aftermath of that final (Stuart Cosgrove excepted). Didn’t see any apologies being given out, and everyone at the BBC and Traynor remained in work and carried on as normal. Stewart tells a 100% truth and makes a 100% factual observation and is sanctioned - Hooray for the Beeb

Quieter than usual but still managing to get his point across

Well his comments about the Daily Record must have been incorrect, as he apologised.

[number9dream]

If he’s not on Sportscene this evening, then he’s definitely been dropped, whether it’s a brief knuckle wrapping or longer term also remains to be seen.
If he’d been a bit calmer on air, he could have made the very valid points about the way stories are spoon fed to the media and distraction tactics involved without naming JT explicitly.

Here you go;

My complaint is in, the BBC are out of order an apology is sufficient (to JT) which was issued by them. No need for further action although I feel the greasy hands of JT and his cronies will certainly be pushing the boat out for MS Suspension.

Snakes!!

I agree.

[Carheenlea]

On the show in question, host Kenny McIntyre pulled Michael Stewart up instantly after making his comments on James Traynor making the point that he felt it unfair for him to do so as Traynor wasn’t there to defend himself.
BBC are surely covered by their host, and employee, chairing the show in what they would deem an acceptable manner. Surely that should have been the end of it, but we now have a total over reaction to what was simply a frank exchange of views on a football themed discussion broadcast.

We do love a drama in Scotland.

Celtic are absolutely right to escalate the issue. Whole thing reeks.

[Jim44]

I think the BBC’s action against MS is the first stage in a campaign for a ‘kiss and make up’ gesture to Rangers. Deep down, they are distraught that they had to take the action, in support of their employee, in the first place, but have put themselves in a position where they have no grounds for backing off unless McLaughlin does something to warrant the BBC’s dismissal of him. In the meantime they will hope that issues, such as the Michael Stewart outburst, will help facilitate a happy reunion. I’ll be surprised if they are not bedfellows with Rangers by the start of next season.

It’ll be interesting to see their take on this issue. My bet is that they will try to paint Rangers as the innocent party, and, in doing so, help build bridges for a big reunion.
