Mr Heliums Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) More lazy editing than terrible journalism. In the middle of decent interview with the new Dundee United manager, there's an pull-out quote ('The Scottish Championship is completely different'), which isn't repeated anywhere else in the article. So you're left wondering why the Championship is different and who thinks so - Csaba Laszlo? Stephen Thompson? The writer?

Is this what Journalism degrees are all about these days? I'm sure there were a couple of guys on here taking Sports Journalism degree courses. I hope they've seen the error of their ways - even the best sports journalists are barely capable of abstract thought. The number of genuinely well-written, insightful articles on Scottish football must be fewer than five a year. Instead it boils down to "Five Things We Learned From Hibs Playing A Back Three" or " Rangers Starlet Roy McRorie Talks About His First Drake Concert While Taking On Lee Wallace at FIFA18". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If you were to read the BBC article on Dick Advocaat's view on Mcinnes, they'd have you believe he gave a glowing recommendation to Mcinnes for the Rangers job. Then you listen to Sportsound and you realise Advocaat gave a very generic answer, then the follow up question 'does he have the quality to be Rangers manager?' Advocaat says he has no idea. No mention of this anywhere on the BBC article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of this anywhere on the BBC article. Just listened to it now and it's hard to imagine if he could be any more non-commital about it. Basically admitted he doesn't follow Scottish football any more and didn't know anything about McInnes as a manager but that was apparently enough for the media to post another ringing endorsement article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 "Former Rangers Star Gordon Ramsey says Mushroom Suppers are Shite but McInnes is Right" I could be a football "journalist" (even spelled his name wrong just to be authentic) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get involved in this shite that often, but McInnes would need to be totally demented to take that poisoned chalice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 According to the BBC website's report on the McKee - Shiels incident and 8 match ban, Dunfermline and Falkirk next face each other on December 23rd. That will be a surprise to the fans who are planning on going to the game on the 2nd January, and to Brechin (who play the Pars at East End on Dec 23rd) and Dumbarton (who are at home to Falkirk that day). It took my literally 20 seconds on Google to check those fixtures btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 11 hours ago, Swello said: Again, where, seriously where, in the name of God, does this notion come from? We all know that it's a club that simply could not conceivably behave with less dignity, but why is there this desire to draw attention to its absence by way of comical, ludicrous irony? I do not understand it. I suspect its roots have something to do with some daft supremacist idea, but it really Is baffling, as well as funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
