alsy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Caption in yesterday's Sunday Times: 'Joe Jordan knows what Dave Mackay, below right, means to both clubs.' Photograph 'below right': Gary Mackay resplendent in 80s hotpants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I don't know what's more ridiculous. These mistakes or the mugs who buy the paper that prints them. To be fair.. I am that mug quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Caught some of the Clyde phone in, in the car tonight. Richard Gough didn't know the format for the group stages of the Europa league had changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 My gripe with the football reporting in the tabloids is how they describe the players as either an ace or a flop when they've moved onto another club. For example, Rangers flop Charlie Adam or Hearts ace Craig Gordon. Why is there no middle ground? Not all of these players were world class or utterly pish.

TAFKAC Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Decidedly average Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam? Slightly better than average but probably still overrated Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon? I agree though, and you can add "dud" and "misfit" and "misfiring" to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utdtillidie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I always appreciate it the way the Record always feels it has to let me know which side of the old firm the stories about supports, generally while their up in court over some assault/drugs/theft charge. Usually the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd paragraph such as 'John Smith, Rangers fan, was yesterday charged with etc etc. Quality journalism.

yoda Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Not a massive piece of shitty journalism but today's Sunday Herald reported that Stuart Kettlewell was sent-off for "lashing out" at Stephen Simmons. It was a two-footed lunge, which in my book is not "lashing out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gus Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sunday Mail SFL1 team of the day brought me the revelation that Matt Lockwood now plays for Thistle and we seemed to have signed some guy called Elliot. He must have been so good yesterday I never noticed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sunday Mail SFL1 team of the day brought me the revelation that Matt Lockwood now plays for Thistle and we seemed to have signed some guy called Elliot. He must have been so good yesterday I never noticed him. New players appear to be popping up all over the shop. I've never heard of Gary McMenamin, but it seems he plays for Ross County.

Les Westander of County Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 This is a most worthy thread. If we keep pointing the finger of shame you never know: some journalists might be embarrassed into sharpening up their act. Or get telt by their Editors.

Skyline Drifter Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 New players appear to be popping up all over the shop. I've never heard of Gary McMenamin, but it seems he plays for Ross County. Colin McMenamin does genuinely have a brother called Gary who plays football. He used to play for Annan Athletic before they were a league side though he chucked it as a professional a few years back and now turns out in the Dumfries amateurs. I would guess the report was written by someone who knows that and had a brain fade? (You may already know all this of course, just pointing it out in case).

The Minertaur Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The Mail on Sunday did a cracking job today of messing up the team line ups - they've got the right scores but they have the teams from all last weeks games listed. Apparently we won 5-1 with the Forfar team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The Sunday Mail has managed to get all the teams in the Second and Third Divsions wrong, for example the Airdrie line up is actually the Albion Rovers team, the Stenny team is Airdrie's etc. Magnificent incompetence. But worst of all is Dougie Imrie's mark of five when he was head and shoulders above everybody else. His marker, who fouled him constantly, gets the top mark of seven, naturally. Minertaur - do you mean The Sunday Mail or did that paper cock it up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Was mentioned on the match thread but the Daily Mail had Tam Scobbie as MOTM against Ayr. I'm one of many fans who thought he was the worst player on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hibs winger Ivan Sproule is unhappy at his side's start to the season, as seen in The Sunday Post: To have played three and lost four is not good enough You're right Ivan, that's impossibly shite.

Russ Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Was mentioned on the match thread but the Daily Mail had Tam Scobbie as MOTM against Ayr. I'm one of many fans who thought he was the worst player on the park. Yeah he was absolutely fucking baws. As per for Scobbie at left-back then. Hibs winger Ivan Sproule is unhappy at his side's start to the season, as seen in The Sunday Post: You're right Ivan, that's impossibly shite. Hmm... but then again you wouldn't exactly put it past Colin Calderwoods Hibs team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minertaur - do you mean The Sunday Mail or did that paper cock it up too? I noticed that in the Sunday Mail yesterday as well - it seems like it was the line ups from last weeks games going by the Cowden team listed under 'Arbroath' on a positive note they managed to beat East Fife 3-0 so it wasn't all that bad :lol: We managed to field Forfar's side in our 5-1 win at Airdrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
