Right. The seasons underway again, it's been a long and unusual summer that none of us will forget. Certain helmets in the media have learned harsh lessons regarding fan power and in turn many fans have been alerted to the incompetence of our writers and broadcasters. There has been so much doom and gloom about how much the pundits have let the fans down but I'd like to see us acknowledge the few mediea guys who have stood tall during this fiasco and held onto their own beliefs in the face of mounting scorn. Please take a bow Mr Stuart Cosgrove of bbc radio Scotland Gets right into folk without fear of media bans and refuses to bow to pressure Mr Jim Spence of bbc radio Scotland Very clear on his viewpoint and the first to publicly demand severe action be taken against oldco and stood firm on forums day after day reiterating and defending his position. Feel free to add your own men of honour. Also the SHIT list for outstanding ignorance, fawning, personal agenda serving or downright cuntishness. Hang your head in shame Mr Ally McCoist Sevco newco fc General shite talk and arrogance Mr David Murray oldco rangers The guy who caused this mess but avoided any flak from anyone. Mr Jim traynor Daily record + radio Scotland Repeatedly Decided what he'd like to see happen then spouted it on radio and in print as fact. Mr Chick Young radio Scotland + the beano Still defending Murray to the hilt, unable to grasp that his hero fucked up. Feel free to add your own, iv left you plenty to chose from.

No point complaining tho, they don't listen. I complained about Scotland international guff being on spl sight and got no response Then my mate got banned from the old bbc forums for saying lafferty was a cheat for that head butt dive v Aberdeen and loads of us complained but got no reply we concluded at the time that the site was run by an Orc or two and the fact they have kept them on spl page confirms that

I understand that but i cringe when I hear some Killie fans Moaning about not spending money and not investing in the team, it's a tiny minority now but there's still a few at every spl club who think someone should be throwing millions at the dressing room to appease their glory hunting desires. For me 11 lads in a Killie strip earning a sum total of 3k a week playing a squad of Perth lads in st jays tops earning the same has the same appeal to me as last seasons squads playing each other. It's a day out, it's a bevy with mates , a sing song, some banter, some ups, some downs. Even if jim traynors Armageddon duly arrives and we ALL need to cut our cloth accordingly then we will still be around minus say 20% of the crowds Imagine ( old firm excepted ) the spl would be like 1st div in terms of quality and crowds, That's THE WORST that can happen. If that happens I will still be there n accept no pish about slow lingering deaths of the game the only folk who will truly lose out are those who think it makes commercial sense to throw hundreds of thousands chasing the " dream " of a 3rd place spot in the spl

I have often thought that even if every club in Scotland except the o.f. Just paid 300 / 500 a week for the best local players folk would still turn out to see them. It's really only when clubs tried to catch up with rangers illegal spending that the whole system clogged up, I'd be happy for Killie to adopt this approach even if it meant relegation and a bit of yoyoing through the leagues till all clubs found their level. I'd still go n watch, there would still be a Killie playing at rugby park. Would you go and see your club if they adopted a policy of promoting players from the youth set up and an occasional new player who moves into town for wages only ?
