Yid_in_Exiile Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 http://www.scottishfootballleague.com/football/league-cup/news/ The SFL website have managed to write a headline that has Ayr United v Dunfermline Athletic at Somerset Park. They manage to get the fixture right when you click through to the main body of the article but considering it's their own competition it's not the brightest start to the day...

The Minertaur Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The Sunday Mail has managed to get all the teams in the Second and Third Divsions wrong, for example the Airdrie line up is actually the Albion Rovers team, the Stenny team is Airdrie's etc. Magnificent incompetence. But worst of all is Dougie Imrie's mark of five when he was head and shoulders above everybody else. His marker, who fouled him constantly, gets the top mark of seven, naturally. Minertaur - do you mean The Sunday Mail or did that paper cock it up too? I meant the same one you did. Complete joke how not one person could notice that they had 20 teams wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC Somerset Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bbc had the St J v Livi score at 1-0 when it was 3-0, and the Falkirk v Stenny score at 2-1 when it was 3-1. Even though it showed all of the scorers in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partick_twinny Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Bbc had the St J v Livi score at 1-0 when it was 3-0, and the Falkirk v Stenny score at 2-1 when it was 3-1. Even though it showed all of the scorers in both games. It also had the Falkirk score as 1-1 despite it having been 2-1 for about half an hour. I think picking on the BBC is too easy, they're getting it wrong every time SFL teams play each other these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris. Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 There was a similar thing during the Motherwell v Rangers game at the weekend. It had the score at 1-0, and down as HT. When it was 2-0 and some time during the 2nd half. Don't think it's a human error, must be something wrong in their coding somewhere, not sure. Our game tonight was down as 2-1, until they changed the scorer from Sibbald to and own goal, and it then jumped back to 1-1. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 They did acknowledge in the live text that the live scores at the side were screwed, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 "This was Hearts' first competitive match against opposition from England and a harsh lesson was learned." Referring to the gubbing by Spurs. Gavster's report. Texaco Cup Didn't have time to post before my holiday, but young Gav seems not to be having his work properly checked yet.

Cliche Guevara Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Making it up on the hoof is pretty commonplace I think. I remember going for something to eat after the Scotland v Norway game in the World Cup in France. At the table next to us was some daft journalist from the Express who was half cut and getting her friends to help her with the report she was about to phone in. It was the usual cliche ridden nonsense. I never touched her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Morton are playing Dundee at Cappielow today, according to The Sun. A mistake made worse by the fact that in the very next paragraph 'Ton captain Stu McCaffrey talks about how our away form is getting on etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Back in the day when we had Charlie Adam on loan, Sky Sports called him Tom Brighton for the whole season. They have also had Stuart Kettlewell as Steve Kettlewell for as long as he has been with us, although that might have changed, as they finally worked out Michael Gardyne wasn't Marc Gardiner.

TAFKAC Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 According to the Sun, Stuart Noble is back for Stranraer. That would be Steven Noble that is back, since Stuart does not play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 And lets not mention the Marc McCulloch/Mark McCulloch confusion, though to be fair, this wasn't helped by one chairman (Morton?) announcing they signed the latter when actually it was the former.

vikingTON Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 And lets not mention the Marc McCulloch/Mark McCulloch confusion. Apparently John McCormack signed the wrong one for Morton as manager. The one he signed was horrendous, that's for sure, but so were most of his signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 What the hell was Chic Young rambling on about in his after match report on the radio today?! Talking about how Raith gained an unassailable lead and then in the next sentence advising that Ayr had won 2-1. I honestly don't think he watched the game.

He spent most of the match blethering about anything but the game, so that doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the same report but he said on TV that Ayr were going to be in the top 3 at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
