    Is it me or are the Chronical writers an absolute joke?

    Morning bonny lads and lasses.

    I'm sure like me most of you pour over every article and gossip column at the moment looking for some hint or clue as to the club's next signing.

    Also podcasts have become an additional channel of media jibberish through which so called professional journalists now share their expert wisdom and close connections with the club's hierarchy within the club to inform the hardworking loyal fan base of the club's next moves.

    During the previous 14 yrs the Chronicle was as useful as a news paper as toilet paper. It'll work but it's gonna be painful to the writer/wiper.

    Lee Ryder is a red faced alcoholic muppet.
    Cieran Kelly is a sh!te babbling whimp.
    The rest invariable equally as incompetent to readd the mood of the fan base, engage with the club to provide meaningful updates on thr progress of the club.

    I really do wonder how do these people get paid for this cack?

    My 8 Yr old could do a better job!

    I think a quicker way of saying it would be that us lots as a group of fans know as much as these people paid to report on the club and we get as much right in terms of knowing the inner workings of the club as they do.

    Difference is, we don't collect a salary to do so.

    And you can pinpoint the downward trend to the time it became non locally owned.

    As a kid I remember pouring over the articles with my Grandad. Talking about the team and how would play on a Saturday, who we were gonna sign or any other number of club related issues. The paper engaged the public and we responded in kind.

    Gibbo is the last bastion of journalistic integrity left at the Chronic and we are poorly served by this latest iteration of the periodical.

    Forgive me saying, but June would also agree, but with a name like that he's sure to have integrity.

    As an aside below are some of the Chronicle's present bedfellows. Take your pick.

    Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, The Sunday People, Daily Express, Sunday Express, Daily Star, Daily Star Sunday as well as the Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail and the magazine OK!

    From being a daily reader of the website I simply stopped reading it ever several years ago. Imo they were terrified of Ashley cutting them off from the club and their biased reporting reflected this. The paper should have been a local point of resistance against that regime but it was nearer the opposite.
    No guts and taking the easy option for profit - the Chronic can lump it.

    The chronicle is a joke. You can’t read their website as it’s got a mind of its own with pages jumping around, buffering, adverts etc. then what you do read is mostly made up rubbish
