At the start of the week our man in Poland sent me a link to the Croatian outlet who interviewed Nikica Jelavic. I mentioned the player in an article yesterday and recalled his earlier comments, which I referenced as background information. This ‘news’ was subsequently carried by today’s radio and print outlets in Scotland.
It’s maybe a low blow to bring out the ‘Lazy journalism’ point on the day Scotland’s formerly-largest newspaper shed journalists, although the point is perfectly illustrated, but lazy journalism always found its place in the past. The real problem has little to do with the standard of journalism on offer, it’s about business models in the old media. News doesn’t pay unless you can tax consumers or bundle it with paid-for football channels, which is not a good thing.

‘Senior job losses at Daily Record confirmed by Trinity Mirror’
Senior job losses at Daily Record confirmed byTwitter is rife with rumours over several big names being sacked from The Daily Record.
Sports editor Jim Traynor is one of the names said to be leaving the Glasgow based newspaper, as well as Bob Caldwell. However, it is currently unclear if Traynor was sacked or resigned.
There has even been rumours from one Tweeter that managing director Tom Hamilton is among the list of those who have lost their jobs.
A Trinity Mirror spokesman said: “We can confirm we have entered into a confidential period of consultation with four senior members of staff from Media Scotland.”
Elbows banned for two games, Arbroath and St Johnstone just a pity it came to late for Beram Kayal!!!

Just to make you aware in case you may be interested, there is a band playing in Blantyre Knights of St. Columba Club on Sunday 15 January, from 2pm onwards. Erin’s Rogues will be performing in the main hall, and are fronted by a local Blantyre Bhoy. Entry is £3 at the door, should any of you be in the area on the day. Last time they were in attendance, a great day was had by all.
Cheap drink and a singsong – fantastic way to spend your Sunday afternoons… :-)

If I had a hammer
I’d hammer in the morning
I’d hammer in the evening
All over this land
I’d hammer out danger
I’d hammer out a warning
I’d hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell
I’d ring it in the morning
I’d ring it in the evening
All over this land
I’d ring out danger
I’d ring out a warning
I’d ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a song
I’d sing it in the morning
I’d sing it in the evening
All over this land
I’d sing out danger
I’d sing out a warning
I’d sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Well I’ve got a hammer
And I’ve got a bell
And I’ve got a song to sing
All over this land
It’s the hammer of justice
It’s the bell of freedom
It’s the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Nae snaw tae report or ferocious gales. However: bush fire season is on us: swings and round abouts!

How many hacks has the Retard shed and is Jabba one of them?
Davis and Whittaker also suspended for Arbroath game.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday Dontbrattbakkinanger,
Happy Birthday to you.
I am quarter of the way into the John Cairney Book “The Seven Penny Gate” on my new Kindle from Santa, it’s absolutely gripping stuff, highly recommended for us Tims.
On another note, I hear that the DR have called in the builders to remove part of the roof so they can air lift Jabba from the building. It’s either that or widen the doorways.
Thumbsup!

Not sure I concur with your view that ‘The real problem has little to do with the standard of journalism on offer, it’s about business models in the old media.’
Whilst I would agree that the business model is key, for me, the standard of journalism remains a significant part of the problem.
A business model which – instead of trying to offer ‘news’ – offers well-written critical analysis and trustworthy, considered opinion may still attract a readership; although perhaps not in the printed press.

Nacho Nohope back in Spain and quickly telling the media he has no wish to return to rangers and wants a new contract with Gijon.
No wonder The Trinity Group are sacking people…
Happy Birthday ole DBBIA
