magnus Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Haven't bought it for years but I do read it for heehaw when it's lying about in a coffee shop. Full front page today on an imagined Rangers boardroom conversation about Chucky Green. What an embarrassment to journalism. This once popular Scottish newspaper has become a complete joke.

Ayrshire Saints Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Likewise won't buy it but anytime I find one on a train or the likes it's diabolical. Appears to try to appeal to the dregs / lowest common denominator constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Have not spent a penny on it for years. I do not bother with their website either as it must be one of the worst websites in the digital age. Do none of their staff look at their on-line sports pages? Do they honestly think they are encouraging customers with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabuddies Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Mind you, their front page today does a pretty good job of taking the puss out of the old servo board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TediousTom Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) It is absolute trash, absolute trash that printed a "vow" to the Scottish people knowing it was a lie. An embarassment to jounalism as the original poster said, an embarassment to journalism indeed.

TopCat Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Scottish newspapers are dying. Within 10 years I think paid for daily national papers will be a thing of the past. Good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 The only way to make being seen reading the Daily Ranger any more embarrassing is to be seen reading it while sitting in a Volkswagen diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful now, they haven't confirmed that petrol models definitely aren't affected.... *insert whistling smiley* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full front page today on an imagined Rangers boardroom conversation about Chucky Green. What an embarrassment to journalism. This once popular Scottish newspaper has become a complete joke. It's not just the modern version. 30 year ago at school I remember being taught the approximate reading age of each newspaper. The broadsheets were aimed at adult level reading ability. The Daily Record and the Sun were singled out as being written for the reading age of an average 8 year old. Presumably they thought that by making it accessible to young children they'd continue buying it when they grew up.

I suspect 8 year old level is too advanced for you mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Oaksoft getting it hard from.... #thichasfcuk Not many people in the world can claim to have received anything hard from him. As banter goes it cut me deeply. I'm not sure how my ego can recover. I have an idea though...maybe I should remember how many world leading experts I had to fend off before I secured my job. If I could only remember what my job is supposed to be.....lecturer or something I think. See. I feel better already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
