This post is in answer to several posts by Garrybhoy in particular defending that bastion of journalism Mr Keevins ( went out last night with Mrs T so could not respond then)
Keevins has been given a platform by Clyde to slag our club because that is their agenda, Garrybhoy you state this "journalist" only speaks the "truth" answer me this, do you think if he was always criticising sevco he would get so much air time?
Have a wee listen to Billy No Well's "Superscorebored"
Their sports programmes are made up almost entirely of ex sevconians, with the occasional tim for "balance" that is why a) I never listen any more as I got so angry with their biased angles and b) I do not take anything said on that programme seriously.
Keevins is a sad old man trying to emulate the late James Sanderson but failing miserably in it.

It's the same with all media tim. It's just one guys opinion that gets broadcast to thousands to millions. Whether you take it as gospel is up to yourself. Particularly surrounding Celtic or Scottish football, I really only pay attention to the facts and the quotes. It's amazing what a player or coach can actually say or do compared to the spin put on it by one joker.

It's quite funny because some of the Rangers fans I work with think Clyde is pro Celtic, and especially poor Gerry McCulloch, they hate him. I work in Advertising so I know the mechanics a little and drama queens are gold dust for tv/radio, - people will tune in just to listen to them, laugh at them. I do that with Keevins, it's so obvious, then he freaks out if someone pulls him up, saying its personal. God love him. I remember my grandfather telling me that when he went into journalism (Keevins) that he was warned after a few articles, and with his background to be delicate let's say when it comes to any compliments towards Celtic. In those days as you know it was much worse, in every walk of life, - some of my family, like many of you I'm sure were told were the door was before they could sit down for a job interview simply because of their names. To be fair it was pretty obvious where our loyalty lay, - the only middle names missing were The, Baby and Jesus. Gerry McNee was the same, - Ed might remember this (he's a few years older than me) he was on tv having a huge argument with Liam Brady and pulled out a Celtic medal he had been given. To say they both have a complex is an understatement! It's a good job one of them wasn't called Gerry Keevins, -, they probably wouldn't have lasted to lunchtime! Radio and tv love drama and controversy so I think Shug is going to be around for a while.

And by the way, like Stein said - if we're good enough we don't have to worry about referees! It's exactly the same with the media, if we did things properly, were a little more dynamic, and made better decisions then we wouldn't give them room to talk. All we've done in my 30 years going to games is give them ammunition, and bungle things up!

Clyde 1 doesn't have an anti-Celtic agenda. I've heard Keevins get torn into Rangers plenty of times as well. Obviously he's sensationalist and makes a big song and dance about things but that's part of his job to get folk wound up so that they call in. It seems to be if anyone says anything negative about Celtic our fans cry agenda/bias. Especially ex-players in the media, folk throw a fit if Hartson or Suttkn has a go and highlights what, at times, is a shambles.

{Ed007's Note - Clyde 1 presenters get crew members, friends and family to phone in with questions and opinions they are given by presenters and producers. The programme is garbage and if you're stupid enough to listen to it you really have no right to complain, just turn it off.}

Tim I never said keevins only speaks the truth. ( it's always helpful if you read my post properly) I said he says things that a lot of other Celtic fans have also said. But the second he says it he is hounded and is anti Celtic. I listen to a fair bit of super score board and I enjoy it but that's because I don't take things to seriously. I would suggest if it offends you so much I'd try another station. Try smooth it's nice and relaxing.

@Garrybhoy just back from match and read your comments. it is folk like you who give clyde credence, as ED007 says a lot of calls are set up to cater for the zombie listeners and braindead people like your good self.
PS I would rather listen to smooth radio than that other station.

Tim everything in life is about preference I don't listen to Clyde through the day as the music does my head in. I'd rather listen to smooth or absolute. But I will turn over to Clyde for the phone in. Others like yourself don't like the phone In so don't listen to it. That's called choice. I wouldn't judge someone based on there choice of radio station far from it. You wanna start calling people brain dead you loose all credit in my book.

I listened to radio shortbread for years via sky tv as I have lived in England for past 18 years. For a while I got Clyde through the set top box but this was stopped and for the past six months I have been listening to ssb via podcast which was back dated just after the dark side collapsed and died so for me Clyde is much better listening to Hugh Keevins & co than listening to big jabba and all the other current sympathisers like st mirrens best supporter chick hun young.
