That's not a photo of Craig Gunn for Elgin City, and surely Rory McAllister has scored more goals for Peterhead than Martin Bavidge? A quick Google suggests he has, unless I'm missing something obvious? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of photos missing, wrong information and two clubs they just couldn't be arsed to do the merest bit of research on. Plus the format/layout is horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Persevered with that site and found Borough Briggs at the end. Clearly not a clue that the grassy embankments and wee behind-goal terraces are all part of the ground, plus their work on the long covered terrace on the LHS is truly horrific. Mine left, their's right. The audacity of having a 'buy a photo' option for that. Edited April 10, 2019 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Slags off the SFA for spelling and doesn't bother proofreading the love letter to Scot GemmillNotice how he’s walking back his claims about McLeish’s sacking being inevitable? The soft language, and complete lack of reference to sources, make that article utterly untrustworthy. Keith Jackson’s a p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has the Scotsman over the last few weeks turned into a badly formatted Buzzfeed page where you need to go through 14 pages of adverts to read their articles? The quicker they go out of business the better and I imagine it won’t be long. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quicker they go out of business the better and I imagine it won’t be long. So sad to see what's happened to the Scotsman's online output. They were one of the early adopters of website content, but instead of moving with the times their site has descended into a clickbait minefield that as you said is choked full adverts. My adblocker picks up 38 ads on their sport homepage which is far too intrusive and IMO the wrong way to go about content monetisation in 2019. (For comparisons sake, the Daily Record's main football page has 21 ads; the Sun has 15; Guardian 12). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 You've got to love the patronising attitude of the sports media. Football fans are obviously thick no-marks who'll think this stuff is amazing and marvel at the power of modern technology to source all this information and put it in one place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
