welshbairn Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So you thought the BBC only fucked up with Scottish lower league football? Front page......'Former Arsenal right-back Lee Dixon'. Do the people who write the beeb football stuff actually know about football!? Can't believe the rubbish they get away with on Pie and Bovril these days, don't they have sub editors or mods anymore? Harrumph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think the problem is having a BBC reporter to go up to Dingwall with a bit of knowledge about the team he is reporting on as that's what they like to do. When John Robertson and Brian Irvine were not in footballing jobs we were covered on Open All Mics every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRubberFist Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Maybe I know nothing about football Wasn't Dixon their left back for 15 odd years?! I'm sure he was left footed at least.......!?!? Dixon was a right back - Nigel Winterburn was Arsenal's left back of that era. The Beeb have still managed to f**k the story up right now, tho. The headline on the football homepage current reads 'Arsenal doubtful for top eight-finish - Dixon', but on the homepage proper it says 'Dixon doubts Arsenal top-six spot'. Make up your mind Lee!

discopants Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just remembered this from the Daily Record the day after we put Rangers out the Cup: In the end, an injury-time blunder by No.2 keeper Neil Alexander sent the First Division minnows through to the last eight. Keith Jackson - how about a bit of research on other clubs before doing the match report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oot_the_loop Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Big congratulations to Andy Kirk for being the current First Division Top Scorer - according to today's Daily Record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 A less obvious one today, but the main story on the BBC football page is "Manager changes cost clubs £99m". One of the pictures below the headline is of Steve McLaren, who waived his right to compensation from Nottingham Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The Cerny one above is a classic. Reporter spent the game in the pub, I think we can deduce. He also mentions the normally reliable Dougie Imrie missing a late chance. That'll be the guy who hasn't scored this season and has never scored more than six in a season.

And likewise, as VT says, what's wrong with that? Falkirk are undeniably first division minnows in comparison to Rangers, like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 BBC can't make their mind up about Snograss Wigan's James McArthur has been called up for Scotland's Euro 2012 double header against Liechtenstein and Spain after Robert Snodgrass withdrew with an ankle injury. Later in the same article..... Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton has been receiving treatment for a knee injury, while Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass has an ankle problem, but both are expected to be fit.

craigkillie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 That's the problem with the BBC. They've given up on writing new articles for every development, and instead edit the article as every new piece of information becomes available. Unfortunately sloppiness means they forget to delete references to the older news sometimes which can lead to contradictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hughie Quote is from the article. "Does anyone who supports Manchester United, Liverpool or Chelsea care that they're owned by people who come from faraway places?" Well they do kind of, Shug. Man U fans started another team in protest at the ownership. Liverpool got rid of a foriegn owner, albeit they jumped straight in to bed with another.
