He works for the EEN and covers all Hearts stories. No matter what the story is he does his best to put a positive spin on it. He's a clown of the highest order.

He works for Edinburgh Evening News. Wouldn't call him a journalist, he reprints memos from Tynecastle boardroom.

I can confirm that the Barry Anderson we lampoon is not this man, a Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Judge with links to US presidential hopeful Tim (land of) Pawlenty

A real " Cut and Paste Hack " :rolleyes:

Hard hitting, no holds barred investigative journalist, with a firm grasp of business and financial matters. Only a matter of time before he wins a Pulitzer Prize for his work

He's either being paid by Hearts or Hearts 'look after' him in other ways...

Isn't he the guys that heads up FIFA's transfer arbitration tribunal process ?? After all, I see he set the valuation of Novikovas which spookily enough is the same alleged amount they owe Hector ? Has anyone tweeted him to see if he checked his sources and corroborated it with Novikovas and his agent ? Or has he just gone on what Hearts have fed him ?

I'd be asking to see evidence of a contract being offered or indeed hearing it in direct quotes from the player himself - I still maintain that he was released with no contract on the table.

He does what Hearts tell him to do without actually asking any proper questions or doing any proper journalistic work. #allisverycomplex

I think he used to be more critical of the Yams until one of them punched him in Germany on pre-season tour a while ago.

now he prints what he's told, seemingly without question.

bbc on 31/05 said novi had rejected a contract offer

I'll bet it was on reduced terms though, so still wouldn't be a qualifier for hertz getting compensation.

Not well liked in the Evening News offices I've heard (third hand I should stress). Always using his coaching credentials to win arguments, doesn't have many journalistic qualifications apparently but "has enough inside info at hearts to justify his wage because Hearts won't talk to just anyone". Barry reckons the abuse he gets on EEN comments, Twitter and on here is proof he's doing a good job because he's getting people talking. His colleagues disagree. Best quote from the person telling me all this was "If Hearts go bust he's useless to the EEN. He wouldn't even get a job making the tea cos he's crap at that as well.

I've heard this too. The comment I was given is that he has a tremendous but misplaced arrogance, ironically exactly like the club he supports and reports on. He's regarded as a bit of a puppet, but there isn't much sympathy for him.

Really qualifications which most kid teams coaches would hold? Bizarre.

Possibly the worst reporter that's out there. He gets fed info from Hearts, fires it on twitter then as usual when it turns out to be rubbish he deletes the tweet and blocks anyone who actually asks him serious questions.

The amount of times he's made on idiot of himself is unreal it really is.

:agree: He is a scribe for the yam who gets money for reproducing what they feed him in the EEN, Journalist check their stories now and again allisbarry doesn't seem to, see the wonga sponsorship of the yam item for example.

Thing is it looks like he genuinely still gets his stories from part of he old guard eg David 'We are self sufficient and all is well' Southern.

BDO must shake heads when they see some of the crap he comes out with.

David Southern must be working for free given the circumstances. On second thoughts, they are ALL working for free just now!!

Does the boy actually get paid for this?

I was brought up with the notion that a person had to work in order to earn money in the world.
