tamthebam Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It must be the first time in decades that the Scottish football press have favoured Aberdeen FC. There's a whiff of circling the wagons, certainly among the ex- professionals. Of course if this had been, say, Albion Rovers players being caught up in a lockdown in Coatbridge after a night out in Owen's it would be headlines like "disgrace of diddy plague spreading club" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Accies and Ra Cellick games go ahead minus the 'Soul 8' could be 0pts from 3. At least we lead the way on the covid count though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I see nothing about today’s games on the BBC sport main page or the football main page. You have to know what you’re looking for to find today’s SPFL Premiership results 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say I would rather my taxes were better spent at a taxpayer funded news organisation than repeating gossip from other news sources I wouldn't spend 2 minutes or 2 pence reading or buying e.g. the Sun or Record. Their journalists time would be better spent looking for real stories that are of interest not copying garbage from garbage sources. If you are happy with that quality, then good luck to you.

Journalists have to keep an eye on the opposition anyways, as part of their job. It likely takes about two minutes out of their day to go from 'reading the papers to find out what the BBC missed' to 'writing one sentence on each of the main stories in the press roundup column'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short step from there to not bothering doing your own work. Anyway, if the Sun or Record is the opposition to the BBC then it as fallen further than I thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are dishing out the points on Eurovision and a country scores zero, they don’t say “nul points” they just don’t say anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like those "worst poster of all time" threads you get on here. You have those who contribute spiteful little lies about people. However, the 'aggregator' who dutifully compiles and publishes them, carries a greater moral responsibility, even if he or she tries to duck it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am affronted by the suggestion I tried to duck any sort of responsibility, thank you It's also nothing like that, actually Edited August 9, 2020 by Miguel Sanchez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
