Daily Record Jock Stein slur

Did anyone see that picture? Here's the article from vitalfootball.

Rather than just take a few cheap shots at Celtic, today's Daily Record has gone disgustingly further by helping to further a gross slur on Scotland's greatest manager.

For those who haven't seen today's edition - and there is rarely a good reason to buy the tabloid, anyway - a sub-editor has apparently decided to use his position to help further The Big Lie.

As can be seen in the image below, beneath a picture of a banner unfurled at Ibrox on Saturday, a caption beginning "BIG JOCK CREW" has been added - a clear reference to the Rangers-backed slur that continues to perpetuate.



So, it would seem the Record has now declared war not only on Celtic, but also on basic decency. Hopefully Celtic will hit back at this - there can be no excuses not to as this will not go away, even if our men in suits would rather bury their heads in the sand.

If anybody at the Record claims they were not aware of The Big Lie, perhaps they would like to go back through their previous editions to October 1 2007 and to George Galloway's column under the headline "Twisted Assault On A True Football Legend". There is no use in denying knowledge here.

Clearly the Daily Record should be avoided at all costs, but the percentage of the Celtic support who touch the rag must be small already. So surely it is time to go further? If they want to escalate this situation, then surely it is time to boycott not only every publication of the Record's parent company, Trinity Mirror, but also all of their advertisers?

Trinity Mirror own the following national newspapers:

- Daily Mirror
- Sunday Mirror
- Daily Record
- Sunday Mail
- The People

They also own a large portfolio of regional newspapers - see here.

But, even with that in mind, it remains clear that the Celtic board MUST act now before this starts getting even more disgusting and blatant. They have a responsibility to repay all that Jock Stein did for this club - that they have comfortable jobs is thanks in no small part to what he did for the club.

 

i dont buy any of those rags anyway, coloured toilet roll. cracking banner though

 

What about that pun in the caption though? It's a * disgrace!

 

Cool banner, we should do something like that

 

the picture its self in refrence to there bjk bullshite... so really, you'd expect taht?

 

buy the paper but that will be the last time today. Think all fans should now boycott this paper seen the small apology at the bottom of the page didnt know what it was in reference to but that caption is nothing short of scandalous. Time to take action here and hurt them where it hurts them most in the pocket!

 

i wouldn't expect any better from them mate, * paper and i'd never realised just how biased that paper was until a couple of years ago, haven't bought it since

 

its rangers turn the now ,theve latched on to this and know how it annoys us, im no artist but someone get one ready for them ,king billy on his white horse ,a lovely pink handbag ,a wee bit of lippie, and somebody gieing him a ride ,the poof he was ,see if they like that and see if the record picks that up

 

The paper and the rest of the red-tops have always been *. Only realised that when i was about 12 Can't believe some of the * they post particularly after old firms and european nights. The writers are complete buffoons.

 

tbh all the tabliods are the same

 

For sites like this, there's clearly a level of management and correspondence. What would it take for the members of these sites to orchestrate a campaign against the likes of the Record, where we hit them in the pocket? I am completely serious about this. Other Celtic sites must be aware of the hun bias this paper has and I'm sure they'd be interested in helping the idea grow legs. There are a lot of fans out there who are unaware of the BJK * the huns have been encouraging and will continue to buy filth like the Record. It's effectively feeding the enemy. There's nothing illegal about boycotting a product. The internet is the only truly free media and should be used to help a campaign of awareness against the Mirror group.

 

* the Daily Record and the Sun..two of the worst, biased pieces of crap I have ever read....

 

Sorry but I have to say - what do you expect when you buy/read these papers? They are always full of this type of crap.

 

well some1 start a website first then well take it from there - call it rebel against the record!!!

 

blatant hunnery absolutely discracefull ,that rags no been in ma hoose for years ,

 

Is it *. It's a reference to how successful we were during his time at Celtic. It was designed to get up their (blue) noses because they are already so excited like they've won the SPL. Just to show them how * stupid and jealous they are.

 

* dicks. I see the Record has joined forces with th Hunday Mail.

 

It's the same company that makes them both....
