Jim Traynor

James 'Jim' Sexton Traynor(born 27th September 1958) is a sports journalist with the Scottish newspaper the "Daily Record" and presenter of BBC Radio Scotland's football-based phone-in show "Your Call".

His forceful and outspoken manner has some listeners creating fansites praising the show while others make derogatory comments about him, his generous waistline, and his hometown team Airdrie United, although other theories suggest that he supports either Celtic or Rangers. Who|date=April 2008 However, it is generally accepted that he has no love of either. Known for criticising elements of the "Tartan Army" of Scotland's football supporters. He has stated that he believes that their offer of unconditional support can lead to the appearance that the performances are celebrated irrespective of the results, and that they can sometimes revel in failure. Traynor's views have made him a figure of derision to some at Scotland's matches, and some supporters have created chants describing him in a rather uncomplimentary fashion.

Traynor was also a pundit on the "Superscoreboard" show on Radio Clyde for the 2000/2001 season he has also appeared on "Scotsport" during that season.
