KEEP THE ASPIDISTRA FLYING
If internet rumours are to be believed, Traynor is going to continue to do the job he has been doing for years. This time, however, he is going to be paid in cash rather than in lamb dinners. Apparently he is going to work for Rangers as a PR MAN!
This is extremely bad news for all us decent folk, who thought we had got rid of him for good. I thought he would just fade away into some rabble-rousing blog like David Leggat's; but no. Now we'll have his face in the papers and on TV even more, giving all the poor weans nightmares!
There have been no rumours as yet about his radio programme, so I assume that it's still going ahead. This could create problems as the programme he presents is supposed to be impartial. Yes, we've all known for years how partisan he is but he at least kept up the pretence that he supported...ahem!...Airdrie. This is going to put the BBC into one hell of a position.
If the BBC keep Jabba on air with his programme, while he is at the same time working for Rangers then the BBC will be flooded with complaints. Anyone that can't get through, or whose opinions are lambasted by Traynor will complain that they are being discriminated against. It would be hard for the BBC to argue that they are wrong.
Equally, however, if Traynor is asked to step down then this will be grist to the mill of the likes of Leggat, who already see the BBC as full of Celtic-loving, Irish Republican-supporting, Catholic haters of Rangers. It will be one more 'grievance' for them to articulate in their new role as the downtrodden.
But, then again, maybe that's all the rumours are: rumours. Maybe he's not going to work for Rangers and we'll just see him popping up now and again as a guest blogger on Leggoland!
