Scary Bear Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The goals may be 8 feet wide but the bar is 8 feet long! Do you write for the Daily Record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordieBoy80 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 You'd think our national broadcaster could spell "assistant". http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24067567 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Not for inaccuracy, but the Daily Record has excelled itself with this headline. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/peter-macdonalds-drive-through-bad-2273078 That's Carlo Monti, who put a guy into a coma by kicking him in the head.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Apparently Falkirk only won 2 - 1 yesterday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24169923 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katboy Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 West Sound's sport desk at 0730 this morning referred to Queen of the Souths 1st win of the season. Obviously the opening day win against Dundee was a figment of our imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Cockwomble not only fucks it up starting a new league without a sponsor, when he eventually gets one he pretends that the country has gone back a season when now the leaves are starting to fall. IRN-BRU and the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) have agreed the biggest signing of the summer as the nation’s favourite soft drink is today (Thursday 3 October) announced as the Official Soft Drink of the SPFL. http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/spfl-announce-partnership-with-irn-bru/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send them a memo telling them it's Autumn. I see they've managed to get the SFL's sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumple Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The BBC shows it's not wasting our licence fee on research into the minutiae of the lower leagues. "Jim Jefferies' side are currently second in Scottish League One and are due to host Dundee on Saturday". Dundee? Dumbarton? Dunfermline? Why do these diddy clubs have such similar names? Shouldn't be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Another one from the BBC.

Skyline Drifter Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Another one from the BBC. On the Championship page, in the "Team by Team" section, it reads - So the most important Championship news at Alloa, Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton, Hamilton, QotS and Raith is that Rangers and Airdrie (two league 1 sides) are playing each other in the cup. Something repeated on their main page which reads - Wish the BBC would take it's tongue out of Sevco's arse You do realise it's a story on each of those club's news pages because they are in the Scottish Cup draw, yes? And given that it links to the story it picks up the same headline for everyone. That Rangers are drawn at home to Airdrie is undoubtedly the headline news of the second round draw so there's nothing wrong with the headline itself. There are enough ludicrous errors to pick apart on the BBC's Scottish football coverage, indeed its football coverage in general, without focusing on parts that aren't really wrong.

peasy23 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Today's Sunday Mail somehow managed to turn Petershill v Forth Wanderers into Petershill v Fort William. I know the guy who phones in the report so I know the mistake wasn't at his end, some sub on the Mail sports desk who has no clue. Spotted another though in the report of the Stranraer game. "Stranraer boss Stevie Aitken was thrilled after a penalty from namesake Chris made it 4 games unbeaten for the Blues"Namesake? It's his wee brother FFS!

EdinburghLivi Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 From the BBC: "Peter MacDonald's penalty was saved by Livi goalkeeper Darren Jamieson in a goalless first half." To be fair, they did have only have a 50/50 chance of getting the right half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The link to Stuart McCall's post-match comments on the BBC Scottish Premiership page says: 'Manager Stuart McCall wants Motherwell to banish the memory of a lacklustre loss to St Johnstone when they face Morton in a League Cup quarter-final.' Considering that they managed to get it right in saying Aberdeen in the report, that's just sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoceanfloor Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Don't know if they mean Scott Fox, Jamie MacDonald or the actor Jamie Foxx. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/24809942?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Jamie Fox earned Scotland call - Gordon Strachan Scotland manager Gordon Strachan speaks ahead of the International friendly against USA on Friday and say's the recent form of Partick Thistle keeper Jamie Fox has earned him a call-up to the squad.
