Thank god for Graham Spiers &....

Alex Thomson. Good honest journalists who tell it like it is. Unlike the bias that big DJ and Darrel King show on their respective radio programs. Take note lads!

Darrell King is a terrible journalist, he has done nothing which has revealed anything. He claimed he saw a second contract, then he claimed it was letters of intent and now it is "I thought I saw...but other people".

Alex Thomson is commenting on the matter as something which has nothing to do with football, it is a matter of corporate governance. He is removed from this Glasgow goldfish bowl as he hasn't worked in matters relating to Scottish Football before and is giving an honest opinion, without worrying about how his articles will sell to the largest demographic.

I Know Darrell King and he is a Rangers fan. He got is break as a young Journo at the evening times during work experience , there were others like Justin and Matthew who were equally talented ( perhaps more journalistic talent) but Darrell support the correct team for the editorial staff at the time..yes he is a rangers fan. Nothing against the guy but it is a fact that he supports Rangers, a true diehard bluenose.
Most of the Glagow based sport Journo's are Rangers fans.

Quebec, every night I get home from work I listen to the clyde podcast, and if I have time I listen to real radio. My American wife hates both shows and is always asking why people are always complaining. Shes smart though and she agrees that Rangers need to be liquidated, even though she knows nothing about football

Henrik, well put my friend. Alex is totally independant amd has no grudge to bear but even then they still think he has an agenda. Its pathetic really!

So long, I actually like his articles in the times to be fair but he just made me mad the other night. The only one I trust these days is Spiers.

Does anyone remember the rammy last season between Darr and Davie Provan when Davie said Darryl was hurting or something like that after an old firm game? Or was it someone else?

No it was Provan and Darryl.

I don't balme people for supporting the teams they support. What gets to me is the fact that they get a leg up because of the team they support. I hab=ve been out of it for a while but I can tell you that a lot of todays journo's got where they are because they supported Rangers. I can remember celtic fans being called the tokin tim in the staff of spots journo's. the only one's I know are Celtic minded are Hugh McDonald of the Helard and Kevin McCarra who now works down south.

King was totally embarrassing on T Sport the other night.

Big build up - the very latest news from Ibrox pash coming up in 2 ..

The King told us this.

1. Rangers are in debt.

2. There is uncertainty about what will happen next.

3. The fans are raging.

The guy in London knew more than him ffs.


How do these fleckers get away with it ?

They get away with it because that's the standard of sports journalism that's normal in Scotland.
