Got to disagree with you both.
He was the man who, last July, was asking the questions about the Ticketus money, and whether CW had used it to purchase Rangers. Nine months later, he has been proved right. He certainly wasn't "licking the Hun's erse".
He doesn't have a good reputation on here, with good reason, but I have to stand up for him on this occasion.

He has clearly got the award because of the Rangers work. Well merited, IMO.

It'd be wise to understand that he is a sports journo and that when they taught investigative journalism at his Uni he was probably in a room somewhere with Messrs McKay, Brown and ThomsonThis is how it feels

With the exception of a honorable few, Scottish football journalists are an embarrassment to the profession. No wonder the best Scottish writers move down south away from the parochial, sycophantic, ill-formed press pack that fails to bring those running football in the backwater of Scotland to account. Young, Traynor, Keevins, Jackson, King et al - wouldn't wipe my erse with their daily tripe.

Would it be too much to say that, where Nixon had his Bob Woodward, Whyte has his Keith Jackson?
Aye, thought so......

I know when I become a journalist I wish to be exactly the opposite of Keevins and the rest of the tripe. If that fails to happen please can someone drive a wooden stake right through my heart.

I suppose what the recent shennanigans has demonstrated beyond argument is that Chic, Keevins, Traynor et al are not doing a job that any of us would recognise as journalism. They are players in a football based 'entertainment' industry, and their remit does not seem to travel far beyond product PR, and the generation of hot air to fill pages and air-time. Scottish football and its media are a small, tightly-knit and incestuous group of people*, and - even if they were inclined to be objective - the symbiotic relationship between the clubs and the 'journalists' make it almost impossible. I think they are a significant part of Scotland's football problem, and it will be difficult for us to move on while they are in place.
* I recognise that there are proper journalists out there. The people with influence, and widespread exposure, unfortunately don't seem to be amongst them.Last edited by s.a.m; 20-04-2012 at 09:18 AM.

Does anyone know the date of the court case when Jackson sues John Collins for saying that Jackson was taking money off Rangers?
