James Traynor works for Rangers. Why did he write an accusatory piece on the club's website about Celtic fans whilst simultaneously telling people to watch what they write about Rangers?
1. angus1983 says: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 08:58 　 I believe Traynor’s epistle of hate and madness to be the usual deflection tactic. However supremacist, I don’t believe the people in charge are actually stupid. Statements like this serve a threefold purpose – to feed the bears, and to ensure everyone else’s time is consumed in throwing their hands up in horror for a while, and to help keep TRFC in the headlines. Meanwhile, I suspect something else afoot. The precedent of Stranraer’s promotion during reconstruction has been set. Areyouaccusingme provides the distant early warning above. TRFC must be fancying their chances of going straight into Stupid League 2 next year, as a “sporting integrity” “honest reward” for winning Div 3. Just wait and see. I, for one, shall exit stage left should that come to pass. Further, what in the name of dog do we need reconstruction for in the first place? Is this season not one of the most entertaining and bile-free you’ve ever seen in your life? What exactly is driving the proposed change? Oh, and, Mr Traynor, I’ll take you on in a literacy competition any time you like. 1. Thanks to junglejamsie on KDS:- Tom Engish is calling him out on twitter… Tom English‏@TomEnglishSport In regard to Jim Traynor’s piece on Rangers’ website. I was the one who ridiculed Watty’s comedy bid. What are you going to do about it Jim? JJ
but rangers will never play in the spl under charles green. even if there is reconstruction it will still be the spl, the teams will still play at the same grounds, they will still wear the same kits, the history will still remain in tact, ergo the spl will still be the same league it always was and chuck will not allow rangers to play in the spl on his watch

Best Twitter comment so far imo: Dick Byrne ‏@DickByrne1 Sevco media guru James Traynor has announced plans to sue ex-Record hack James Traynor for an article in which he claimed Rangers were dead
I'm about to almost disappear off of here and I've been ding donging half the morning already but: I expected at least one thread about this when I read it last night. This is not digging up news about Rangers - it was one of the lead items on the Scottish news. When I posted this this morning, I hadn't read the thread on your board cos I check the Celtic board first in the morning once my morning reports have all been sent out. Now, just simply, are we allowed to talk about it? It mentions Celtic fans explicitly but we are not allowed to talk about it? Or, we're not allowed to talk about it because similar things have been discussed in the past? I'm looking at the Rangers board and there's plenty about Celtic on it. However, our club aren't issuing missives talking pish about your fans. If our club did, and there was an article about it on the Rangers board, I'd view anyone talking pish in order to stop you talking about it as mental.
I said already it has nothing to do with Celtic fans talking about rangers and if you read my first post you'd understand what my beef with this thread is. It was also covered in my last post.
Without labouring the point, your beef is Why do we need to justify talking about Rangers, firstly? And, if a Rangers employee on the Rangers website writes a ****ing forum post about Celtic fans (insinuating some **** while he's at it), then why in the **** wouldn't we talk about it? Every single thread on this board that mentions Rangers gets a "Sevco, sevco, sevco" comment or something about being obsessed. Meanwhile Medro's TV viewing figures for Celtic games goes unchallenged along with articles called "Timmy won't like this" and, indeed, the thread for this same subject refers to "getting it up 'em" in the ****ing title.
If you're going to start comparing the likes of sane rangers fans to medro then I'm going to start lumping you lot in with harry and super. Low ****ing blow to be honest. My point was him using the excuse to justify it to himself, not anyone else. I obviously don't comprehend language as well as you lot do, I'm the first to admit it, but I'll be ****ed if I'm going to let someone tell me that this is not obsession. Like most things repetitive it gets very ****ing boring. The need for him to scrutinise everything Rangers is pathetic. I have no problem with you talking about a stupid ****ing article, I do however have a problem with people telling me they are not showing signs of obsessive behaviour when that its clear to anyone outside the old firm that it is. I might be a dick but I try to be as unbiased as possible when it comes to football.
