Congratulations, you are correct. The pictured player was none other than current Oxford United star Peter Leven.

That is just shockingly bad journalism. A so called quality paper should know better.

Hi Guys, my names Jonny Boyle and im trying to become a football writer. Obviously going from the topic of this thread it is for identifying poor journalism but hopefully you all like some interesting journalism focusing on everyone debating and giving opinions, much like the purpose of a forum.

Yesterday I wrote a story looking at Falkirk's kids and would love if anyone could take a read. I've also got some other stuff on my blog that may be of interest. - www.jonnyboylefootball.wordpress.com

I'm looking to focus on Scottish football - particularly the SFL - as well as up and coming Scottish youngsters. Hopefully with the co-operatrion of fans and teams I can help give the SFL the coverage it deserves.

I write for TheAwayEnd as well as Core magazine, and am the founder of www.talkingbaws.co.uk (still to go live). I am also looking at several other publications for my material to be showcased.

I would appreciate greatly if anyone interested could give my stuff a read and I'd be more than happy to talk football with anyone. You can get me on twitter - @beanroll or through the blog.

Thanks,

Jonny.

Ayr should do a Sion and turn up at the final demanding to play.

[craigkillie]

Can you imagine the backlash if they'd done that with an Old Firm or Edinburgh derby?

Can't complain about the tone of this article, but it does ignore Elgin punting us out the Challenge Cup as well as a geography fail

Only Celtic and Hamilton Academical have bested County this season – both in the opening two months of the term – meaning this draw with St Mirren was a 16th consecutive game without defeat for the Black Isle club.

Slightly off from 1st Division clubs (and newspapers), Sky Sports News this morning had David Temple as opening the scoring for Hearts on it's news ticker. It almost wouldn't be as bad if the game hadn't actually been live on Sky yesterday!

The Sunday Mail cites the Rovers having a chap called MacDonald being sent off, WTF.

I was in the Novar before the game and saw some Irish dude with a cold talking to the editor of the FFP, I'm blaming him.

[true_rover]

Headline in the Scotland on Sunday was saying that Jamie Walker scored on his Rovers debut, despite the fact that he's been playing for us since November...

Jonny, why in god's name would you want to become a football writer? That's a bit like "Hi guys, my name's Jonny and I want to learn to count to ten then stop".

Billy Dodds predicted that the Ayr United v Falkirk cup tie would go to extra time. Maybe it will but it can't happen tomorrow night.

[Kitty_Boy]

A shocker from a very badly written match report in the Scotsman:

Progress to the quarter-finals looked unlikely for Ayr, however, when they fell behind after just six minutes. Teenager Craig Sibbald’s cut-back to Willie Gibson was swept across the field and from 18-yards, Farid El Alagui rose to head the Bairns in front.

Aye, ridiculous when they clearly show Alston as scorer in the score with the headline.

Don't listen to Billy Dodds. My niece has a five-year-old son who talks more sense and has a bigger vocabulary than Dodds, although his head isn't made of teak.

Is it the same guy that works for all the papers that slams the transfer window shut, locks people in talks, swoops for players and snubs talks etc?

[magee84]

Yep. He of the 'ibrox/parkhead source informed us..."
Said source being some jaiky in the louden tavern/bairds bar.....

[craigkillie]

The match reports are even shite when the big teams in the SPL* are involved.

Killie's goal at Ibrox today.




The BBC's take on the goal:

"Shiels eased past a few Rangers defenders and clinically placed the ball to goalkeeper Allan McGregor's right to give Killie thoughts of ending the day in the top half of the table."


Which Rangers defenders did he "ease past"?




*Killie, obviously.

The Sunday Mail (un-named reporter) Has Peterhead "moved away from the drop zone" by winning. Someone better tell the 'shire relegation has been introduced to the 3rd Division.
