Dons_1988 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It does beggar belief the sheer volume of these very simple, very avoidable mistakes. One or two you can forgive as human error, but the sheer number of them suggests to me just a total apathy towards Scottish football. Either these don't get proof read before they go out or the proof reader has no knowledge of Scottish football and thus can't spot glaring errors. Either way it's so amateurish it's embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Two and three page spreads about Joey Barton ffs. Succulent lamb is definetly back on the menu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I only get to read the papers on Thursday and Sunday when I go to my parents for tea. Since Rangers were promoted to the Premiership the 'specials' the red tops do on them is boke inducing. 8 page souvenir pullouts on Mark Warburton, spreads on Kenny Miller's hairline, how much Catholic blood Andy Halliday is waddling in etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 My goodness, is that a team starting brightly? Any critique, however barbed, polite or tongue in cheek, of Scottish football has to include tripe like that. It's lazy writing. Accuracy, or lack of, is certainly part of a big problem. An acquaintance of mine bemoans the fact that his work on a club website was often used by broadcasters but the website - and his work - was never credited or credited properly. That's public domain for you and them's the breaks, but it also shows that journalists and pundits lack a scintilla of class when they use someone else's work. This stuff doesn't materialise out of thin air. You should get your mate to troll the life out of these broadcasters by making up an entirely fictional sensational story on the website then deleting it as soon as they have aired it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunty Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Evening Times has a poll running with the headline "Who will win the Scottish Premiership next season, Celtic or Rangers" The funny thing is, the Daily Record will be raging they were beaten to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ayr because they were fine before that I'm trying to think of a clever joke based on your typo, but I can't. Genuinely gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ayr because they were fine before that Of course not. I just used to read their sensationalist shite and laugh I basically decided I was part of the problem buying it so stopped. Worryingly I know people who still believe if it's on the news or in the red tops, it must be true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefan27 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1463007885.077897.jpg This being a Dundee team that can't finish higher than 7th.... I'd bet good money that this wasn't really written by a journalist in the traditional sense. Someone (probably not familiar with Scottish football) writes the intro, and the rest is done by the same (or similar) program which generates live commentary for the score apps, then choice paragraphs are added by an over-worked sub to make it seem like a real match report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Keith Jackson on Rodgers going to Celtic. "Scottish football is back." f**k off you dinosaur. Scottish journo of the year? Dear God. A Rangers fan voted for by other Rangers fans = Scottish media awards. He must surely just be saying this stuff to wind everyone up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 These will be the same journos who were lauding Warburton being crowned manager of the year for emulating the likes of St Mirren, Falkirk and ICT by winning a league / challenge cup double with a budget of probably double all the other clubs in the league added together. Looking a bit embarrassing for the PFA who clearly had assumed Rangers would win the Scottish Cup. Scottish football in a nutshell I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
