Can we get a special "Useless editor award" specially made for Jim Traynor just because?

Old Gavin (remember him) was at it again yesterday, in an article on Dunfermline's relegation, he states that Accies "slumped to a fifth place finish". How long would it have taken him to check and find that we actually finished fourth? Five wins from the final nine games hardly constitutes a slump either.

Allan Preston talking about Dunfermline on Sportsound: "Obviously there's no guarantees that they'll come straight back up but they'll be favourites, the team going down from the SPL always are." Yep, we all had Hamilton down to win the division this season.

Then he talks about teams who might be a threat "Well Airdrie might be in the division, and Morton are a well supported side too." What the f**k is he talking about?

Heard some numpty on Sportsound talking about the possibility of a play-off to the SPL next season. Apparently Cowdenbeath would be in with a shout of promotion to the SPL if play-offs were brought in.

For the entirety of this season, the Scottish Sun had the Hamilton badge on their SPL header, and no Dunfermline badge. I tweeted them about it the other night, and lo and behold they now have a Ross County badge in place of the Hamilton one. Poor Dunfermline never featured at all.

How very true.

I hope people aren't saying the same about us next year.

The relegated team are usually the bookies' favourite, so if he meant it in that context then he's be quite correct.

It's far more likely that he was just talking shite though, as he is completely useless.
