A bastion of professional journalism as shown below. Managed 2nd place
in 1996-97 but walked away with the title
in 1997-98 before reverting to 2nd in

Their WWW site is here.

wonderful fetish about Barbour jackets. Thinks of himself as the champion
of the underdog but in reality is just another annoying wee shite.

Falsehood League Standings
Another honest and fair paper. Excludes the page of McNee rants - he
has his own section (see here).

Cuthbert. Says he was 17 when he played against Rangers at Ibrox last
season yet he turned 20 in September 2002

Satellite TV and Teletext for the masses - known to come to McDiarmid

Saintees everywhere's favourite ex-Scotsman journalist. Amazing tunnel
vision since based in Embra he seems incapable of dealing with anything
other than the Wegie Unwashed. New for this year since hes bound to cover
some Saints games. Now writing for the Sunday Mason as the replacement for
McNee (some honour eh). This man is the MOST LOATHED journalist
amongst Saints fans.
