• "Honestly, this website... You don't file an essential ad to the copy in the effing comments section, as any fule kno. You update the copy and timestamp the update. And you also write such that the flow of information is easy to follow, unlike that extremely stupidly assembled second paragraph, which uses commas, and in one cash dashes, to extend a group of ideas, which could have been separated with ease, and could have therefore, and to the advantage of the reader, been presented faster, more directly, and with clearer direction, with which I'm sure a lot of journalists, although possibly not all, using this site, would agree. And relax."

• "What a mess! SMG's statement is laughable as is there "unswerving" support. What commisioner or producer would wa\nt to deal with Alan Clements? And for the bosses at SMG surely they should show more backbone,if the content team there is as successful as their media comment suggests then why bring in Clements, who was being introduced to VIP's at the recent lame attempt at a 50th bithday party. Messers Woodward and co are in danger of beig rumbled as not havig a clue."

• "Web manager here. Apparently, a statement was sent to allmediascotland.com (but was lost in cyber-space), and it reads as follows: "I am disappointed by today's verdict but my legal team and I will appeal and have been given permission to do so. It is some consolation that the judge found that RDF had 'stirred up' the case by vilifying me through the media. That said, clearly I misread RDF's willingness to reach any amicable arrangement to enable me to move to another job with SMG. Instead, of a straightforward negotiation it became bitter and personal. The court found that I broke my contract by talking to SMG. I don't accept that. Half the people in our industry would be out of a job if that was the case. It goes on all the time. I have been given permission to appeal on this. I am grateful to SMG for their unswerving support throughout all of this.""

• "Hasn't Clements not issued a statement? Has he not given to you guys? Poor show, if he's looking for support from among his own folk."

• "Your report declines to mention his 'snooping' into Hamish Barbour's emails - to find out what was being said about him, as RDF briefed against him."

• "What drove the millionaire Alan Clements to join the ailing STV in the first place - to flog further the dead horse of Taggart? To make stinkers like the People's Court show of a few years back? Or to try and rescue a third division ITV franchise, but if so, why? Was it that working alongside his 'pals' Hamish Barbour and Muriel Gray had become too much? The consequence is that, at a time when Scottish broadcasting is trying to gather itself for the future, it looks small time."
