So, you don't really know. ;)

Publicity for publicity's sake. Sensationalism over substance.

In the interests of balance, I do find 'Chic' quite personable on the radio. His written outpost is gash of the lowest order, however.

Not aimed at me though so, y'know. No damage done.

I have the opposite view Ivan. I detest having to listen to him on Radio Scotland which is my station of choice spoiled only by his self-indulgent slaverings. Have you heard his reactions to listerner criticism when he actually threatens to sort it out it the listener - that is the listener that is paying his wages by the way.

I never get that impression. Sure, he gets heated [WHAT'S THEIR NAME?! HAVE THEY GIVEN A NAME?], but I don't think there's any real malice behind it.

The day he challenged a texter to give his name so he could go and sort him out and insited on demanding the guys name was an abuse of his undeservedly privileged position for which I despise the arrogant f*ck even more than I disliked him prior to that. Just embarrassing. Maybe the west coast folks get him but I definitely do not,

I don't recall him suggesting that he'd sort anyone out. Probably hard to agree on that issue when we can't agree on the facts.

I've had quite a few dealings with the guy.

I think he's fine and decent.

Writes to get attention and to stir debate - nothing wrong with that.

And I can absolutely confirm he supports the Buddies.

Now, he may appear like an erse-licker to Murray et al, but sometimes that's the only way to be to get the interview.

I think Pattullo is probably one of the best writers we have in the media, but he never 'breaks' news 'cos the clubs generally don't like him. He doesn't lick ass.

That may be true, and Chick's strength may be in winkling out "exclusives" through application of tongue to anus, but that doesn't mean he has an opinion that is worth sharing. As his every expressed opinion confirms.

I've had dealings with him too, and he always seemed pleasant, but it doesn't make him what he isn't.

I remember listening to that programme and I think it was base around a press confernce with Walter Smith where as usual, nobody wanted to answer Walter a hard question and a listener had the temerity to text in calling the collective hoard of journalists all spineless and wee Pric wanted the name and then threatened to go in the huff if he didn' get it.

I can barely listen to him on the radio, mainly because he portrays himself as somesort of valiant finder of truth, when in actual fact he spends his time telling us what a good mate of Wlater Smith's he is and will never criticise him as a result, how he has stories he can't tell us about (despite the fact as Yaz points out, we pay his wage) and the fact he thinks the Tartan Army are beyond reproach in everything they do.

I'm impressed that wee Chick could extract himself from Barry Ferguson's arse for long enough to write that article.

I don't want to circle the nepotistic wagons, but I quite like the wee baldy hun c*nt on the radio as well. I don't know about his columns/blogs because I never read 'em.

Yes, he a wee twat, but I quite like him. It's Craig Paterson I hate. The man's a complete moron.

I've not listed to Radio Scotland since Gordon Smith's back. Him combined witht the rest and I can't suffer it.

I listened to Radio scotland on the way home from the game, and it was the first time I've heard it after a match for about 5 months or so. Patterson is awful, but so is Sandy Clarke, Steve Cowan, Chic Young. But then I could have turned over to Clyde 1 for Derek Johnstone and Jim Delahunt. Radio for people who find listening to the speaking clock a challenge.

It's always funny to hear Murdo try and talk about something other than Celtic, just because of the combination of ignorance and indifference he exudes.
