noticed that chuckles didnt actually answer the question about what school he went to

All Saints IMO :whistle

Sacred heart primary followed by St Bernard's high, Mexborough, Rotherham, Yorks. Why is this relevant?

ONCE again Rangers are the subject of an article by Alex Thomson, who appears obsessed by this club's business.

This time, however, he turns his attention on me in a most callous and disgusting manner.

Fortunately I've been the target of many bloggers many times because of the well, let's just say strident way I've gone about my work. So, if you give it out you have to take it back.

This is one of the unwritten laws of journalism but this person's blog cannot pass without comment. Incredibly, it's allowed to sit under Channel 4's name.

This man has set himself up as a paragon of integrity yet he relies on Craig Whyte as a credible source.

Does he not know the former Rangers owner is under Crown Office investigation?

Thomson publishes the content of emails in which I make it clear to Whyte that a story about his spending plans will start with the figure of £15m for new players. It was necessary to let Whyte view the piece so that it would be difficult for him to try to deny it later.

Of course he did try just the same but he knows he said it. I know he said it and so, too, should Thomson. If he's spoken to Whyte he'll also know what this man is like.

The email was sent not because Whyte was being given editorial approval, as Thomson appears to be making out, but because I wanted Whyte to see the figure.

Also, show me a journalist who hasn't used these methods to extract further information and I'll show a hack who wasn't doing his job.

It is necessary to get close to people in football if you are to gain possession of the intelligence required to do the job properly. And that brings me on to Thomson's other point.

He claimed I asked Whyte for a job. How utterly absurd.

This blogger conveniently forgets to mention it was my work, along with that of the Daily Record's Keith Jackson, which finally exposed Whyte and brought him down.

We had been gathering information about the Ticketus deal and also Whyte's failure to hand over PAYE and NI. It was a long process and vital that the line of communication with Whyte remained open.

The fact is he asked me to come and work with him on more than one occasion. He also asked if I would advise him privately.

A game was being played out and working for Rangers at that time wasn't the goal. In fact, I kept my newspaper informed of the offers through a senior editorial executive because it was important they were on side with the operation.

I also made sure a senior person at the BBC, with whom I had a contract, also knew.

One or two trustworthy colleagues also were made aware of what was going on and we actually laughed at the very thought of me working with someone we were determined to expose.

On any other day I'd have dismissed this latest blog without comment but this is a special time for Rangers. We are a year on from administration and are putting in place a solid structure under the new regime.

Rangers have released a documentary on that crucial year on this very site and that's what we should all be concentrating on. Enjoy, and stop worrying about bloggers.

:) :) :)

Alex Thomson could publish a picture of Traynor grinning and giving the thumbs-up while Craig Whyte sticks his boaby in Jim's ear, and Traynor would say he was just trying to establish a close relationship with Whyte so he could later destroy him.

Mind you, Traynor could tell the throbbers who read that website that gullible isn't in the dictionary, and most of them would believe it, so it probably doesn't matter in the long run.

I have never heard such utter pish in all my life. Traynor's blog makes it sound like he was involved in some James Bond style espionage in a bid to bring down Whyte.

Only one keyboard warrior/internet bampot making an arse of himself tonight.

And fatso responds with his usual pish !! :lol::lol:

Obsessed?..have they got that word on the walls at ibrox these days ?

So, normal practice to run the full content of a story past the subject and allow deletions - so they can't deny it later? What absolute, and complete nonsense. If that was the case, barely a word of print would make it to press. We'll have to assume that every word that Traynor has ever submitted has been ran past the man in question to approve.

Again he alludes to the claim that he was instrumental in Whyte's downfall. Whether that is true or not, it's completely irrelevant. Who are the mysterious executives and work colleagues he refers to? They remain nameless. How very convenient.

It reads like a hastily invented story from a lad caught skiving the school or forgetting to sign on.

Is James Traynor a sociopath?

This is the sort of shit that Thomson should have stuck to. Actual revelatory stuff which is backed up.

We already knew all of this about Jim Traynor, and it stands to reason that a disgraced journalist be in a position at a disgraced football club.
