Congratulations to Mark Daly and the BBC production team behind The Men who sold the Jerseys, who received the award from the Royal Television Society for Best regions current affairs and news event for their documentary into the goings-on in the years before Rangers descended into liquidation. They won against Grananda’s Hillsborough – The Truth At Last, which centred on a hugely important human and political story, which illustrates the standard of achievement.
Television journalist of the year
Congratulations also to Alex Thomson, of Chanel 4 News, “one of the UK’s leading correspondents. With a portfolio of coverage from Syria to door stepping Kelvin Mackenzie over Hillsborough, to Glasgow Rangers, he displays great range and versatility with a knack for finding strong angles and compelling stories. He brings real authority and storytelling skills to whatever he covers.”
Thomson is a game changer. Never has a UK journalist had so many people wanting him to stop asking questions, including many in his own industry. Fortunately he appears to be some kind of Geordie-hostility-feeder.
Good journalism is important. Well done to the winners and those in their support teams.

I think this blog would make interesting reading for the Labourites who constantly smear the SNP.

If the SNP are being held to the standards of 1930s Politicians the so too should the Labour party.
That’s fair isn’t it?
“No Catholic PM in the UK for 300 years”……..but we have a Catholic Hitler in the person of Iain Duncan Smith.
So….who knows what may come?

actually yes it is, if there’s a yes vote scotland will no longer be a part of the UK and will be able to make as many fiscal decisions for scotland only as the UK does for itself now
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If there is a ‘yes’ vote there surely will be no such thing as the UK?
3 tragedies
1. All the debate on independence is so far based of fear. What a missed opportunity.
2. At one time politicians were as iconic as pop stars. People believed in them. Not any more.
3. The last was Maggie. She is also the reason for 1 and 2.

Nothing wrong with not enjoying losing. :-)
Can you point me in the direction of the quote that the SNP said that they cannot be Scottish?

I live over on the west – near Teddington.
On the independence debate – I think that leaving Scotland over 30 years ago negates my opinion. What I would say though from 400 miles away is that the standard of politician in the Scottish parliament seems incredibly poor – needs a few more heavyweights from all parties to instil a bit more confidence in any independent future.
Miki67 – I don’t usually do the sympathy thing on the web, simply because I feel awkward about it – but my thoughts are definitely with you for what its worth.
Che, never chase it, lost a fiver, that’s enough.

great post last night and well done to your bhoy…
Reading back, I’m genuinely gobsmacked by your kind thoughts.
You’re the best bunch of folks I’ve never met in my life, apart from one or two of the reprobates I’ve actually met up with.

Re the McMurdo-Thomson interview.
I saw some tweets somedays back about this, people asking McM for the recording he’d promised and him saying no, it was a written interview only. Later I read his piece and he said it didn’t go as planned.
is that why there’s no recording? Because AT wiped the floor with him?
Doc
At Stobhill tomorrow for most of the day, may have to pop over to Beatson afor an hour at some point, if your about give me a bell

Take care of yourself mate. I always make a point of reading your posts.

Could you please point out where I have ever said that one religion was more important than any other? Or none for that matter?
My problem with the SNP is that they a mixture of people and ideas that I do not find either attractive or convincing
If Wee Eck told me that it was raining outside I would need to feel the rain drops on my face before I believed him
This is someone who talks about the unionist population of NI as being the “blood of his blood and bone of his bone”
This is also someone who started his career in the Bank of Scotland and who is up to his neck in the circle of Edinburgh based individuals who brought about a lot of the banking crisis
As others have pointed out his vision of independence is strangely free of any real vestiges of being independent – monarchy stays – Bank of England stays – etc
All that would be different would be that the muppets in Holyrood would be even freerer to vote themselves more money!
One bright spark of a SNP MSP I heard with my own ears describe themself as a Nationalist first and a Socialist second!
History tells us that combination did not work out too well in Germany
Che, possible. Lunchtime?
Will text in am.

Baldrick – the post on page 1 by Philvisreturns must be the most misleading, disrespectful and shameful diatribe I’ve read since Sevco’s share flotation propaganda piece.

We can still make the quarter finals if Celtic go out with the words of Bobby Lennox ringing in their ears.
He said to his nervous teammate Jimmy Johnstone “Don’t worry Jimmy. We’ll just go oot there ‘n set about them.”
love it!

can do, let me now as early as poss either way.
More from ole Chortles Verde
Evening hoops,
I complained last week to the BBC regarding the Beeb’s Reporting Scotland’s report about Neil Lennon considering a complaint to UEFA about the manhandling in the Juventus game. My main point was how they focused on Gary Hooper holding a Juve players face and ignored a host of other images or live video to balance the piece. I believed that the image was chosen to show Celtic in a poor light, thus undermining the case that Neil was trying to make.
The Beeb have kindly replied to my complaint…………
Dear Mr War
Reference CAS-1932286-324GRV
Thank you for your e-mail. Your comments were passed to the Editor of Reporting Scotland, who has asked that I forward his response as follows:
“Thank you for being in touch about Reporting Scotland.
The report was about Neil Lennon’s assertion that Uefa should investigate the standard of the refereeing of the game between Celtic and Juventus. He was particularly unhappy about the confrontation between Celtic and Juventus players at set pieces. This television coverage that night focussed a number of clashes between Gary Hooper and an Italian defender.
Unfortunately, the game itself was broadcast on ITV and, for contractual reasons, we only have news access to their pictures for 24 hours. For our report, therefore, we had to rely on a limited number of still photographs to illustrate the point. These can never be as powerful as the moving image, but still got across the level of contact between the two players.
I disagree that we undermined Celtic’s case – we were simply telling the story using the best imagery available to us. You can be sure that if Uefa consider Neil Lennon’s complaint they’ll be looking at moving pictures and taking evidence from a number of their officials at the game.
Thank you, once again, for taking the time to contact us.”

Very bad result for the Nats at Glasgow Uni tonight. If you can’t persuade the students to buy your idealised romanticism, then I’d suggest you have little chance with the rest of the population.
Anyone think this referendum might not actually happen? Interesting that they still haven’t named a date…
Vp
You were right,a close call though.
That’s my son away to bed face tripping three days in a row.

A twitter scrap yesterday with wilson being accused of being Jabbas lapdog.
My take from reading it Green says to Murray Sevco should pay the £400k bill, Murray says NAW its your debt, Green sets the dogs (jabba) and crew inc Wilson, to start spreading personal Problems stories about him.

although I have never met you I enjoy your posts,and wish you nothing but strength to accept your situation .
I will be thinking of you STAY CLOSE my friend this is a special place .
Richard Wilson@Richwilsport
@wiredz Perhaps you might realise there’s a reason for the way the story is written. Nobody disputes the tension between them, but that’s not the full story, as the piece makes plain. Unless you’re only reading into it what you want to see!.

How many people who voted in that were actually Scottish and will be able to vote in the referendum next year.
It isn’t accurate. I’ve asked a few kids at Uni.
Indopendince ?
Independance ?

The original Tweet from Grahame Case but he has taken it down SNP Central Office in overdrive Mr Case saying it was a mistake by him he just meant “the demographics are skewed” whatever that means
The cyber Nats blaming a low turnout they are raging they just remind me of posts on Fascist Fascist I wonder why that is
