I am now convinced more than ever that the BBC have issues with us.
MOTD yet again billed us last and the coverage was a disgrace, even Alan Hanson was moaning about the game being shown last and there being no time to discuss it.
Having read the initial posts by fans on their way home from Anfield I feared the worse and didn't particulary want to watch it , but hey I'm a Ranger and what can you do?! You could not hear the Rangers fans at all and it made me question which of our fans went, having read the threads all week about how so many loyal fans missed out on this match, perhaps the rumours were true about tickets selling so fast to ST holders who only pick one or two away games per season and this was one of them. Went to bed really pissed off, sh*te match reviews on the boards, and sh*te coverage on the telly.
This morning I watched the Sky Match Choice coverage of the game and thought I was watching a different match. Rangers fans sang none stop and although we were played off the park first half, as with many matches this season, we raised our game second half and Bradley Orr would have equalised on another day. The coverage was good, balanced and unbiased.
The BBC could learn a thing or two from Sky, the MOTD coverage did not show our best periods of play,was completely one sided and the crowd mics turned down if not off. What pis*es me off even more is that we HAVE to pay for this cr*p.
Perhaps we are now paying for the constant abuse shown to Steve Claridge last season (although totally justifyable!)
Rant over!
