The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread


Recommended Posts



I was quoting this from the Scotsman report, perhaps they meant in a tournament......

"Scot Gemmill’s youngsters gave the nation a huge lift ahead of next week’s Auld Enemy World Cup showdown by becoming the first Scotland side at any level to taste victory against Brazil"

Tbf the Scotsman is little more than a tabloid these days.

Not calling it terrible journalism, just alerting you to the fact that Scope has launched...

 

"Now for something completely different."

Bold to call a Scottish sports media outlet providing Old Firm news "completely different", tbh.

The Scope magazine lads have refunded all Kickstarter backers, telling them they're "taking a different look at things" and will "be back in a couple of months with something to show".

I saw that on social media and when I realised that they focused exclusively on Rangers and Celtic, I groaned.

I read the twitter threads when they announced its launch. Basically Celtic fans told them to bolt after they denied Rangers died.

Rangers* fans already have the Daily Record to tell them what they want to hear...

Maybe they realised that most Old Firm fans cannot, in fact, read.

It must be summer, because here's the annual colt teams story.

Most interesting part of that is: "Under-20s teams drawn from Scottish Premiership sides were trialled successfully in the 2016/17 Irn-Bru Cup competition and will be again in the 2017/18 tournament." Clearly written by somebody who ignored what actually happened in the uber-diddy Cup. You know, the one where Clyde held a first team training session outside on the same night, and little over a hundred people went to some of the games.

I suppose if it gets us another Old Firm game it'll all be worthwhile though. After all that's all Scottish football fans are interested in...

Any mention of the Neil Doncaster quotes? Where he claims having Irish and Welsh sides in our Challenge Cup is "terrific" as it will help Rangers and Celtic enter the English league.

The man who runs the game up here, saying it's fantastic that the two biggest clubs will be leaving.

It was successful in that the SPFL managed to enforce it and none of the board members/club chairmen were killed. Pretty sure that's their benchmark for success on this.

Notable crowds included 296 at ICT 'B' v Arbroath, 190 at Cove v Dundee 'B', 216 at Celtic 'B' v Annan, 299 at Queen's Park v Kilmarnock 'B', 119 at Cumbernauld v Hamilton B', 226 at Aberdeen 'B' v Forfar, 114 at Albion Rovers v Hamilton 'B', 324 at Rangers 'B' v Stenhousemuir. Not a lot of success on the crowd front.

Half the 'B' teams lost their first tie and only 1 made R3 (where they got gubbed). Doesn't suggest a lot of success on the quality and development front.

Rangers delayed their R1 tie a week to play a friendly. Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers didn't even bother playing their games at their own grounds - Rangers aren't even playing in the U20 League this season, either, btw.

Yeh but it worked so successfully in the English league last season....
