Chateau Lafite Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The carelessly bad journalism that the plethora of errors that have been posted in this recent thread, and also on the long running Championship, Forum thread are bad enough. But, when you add in the sycophantic pandering to the Ugly Sisters of Glasgow it becomes not even puerile but sad. One example has been cited above, but listen to Alasdair Lamont's reference to Kane Hemmings as "the former Rangers youth player"on the BBC highlights of Killie v The Dee. His comment is accurate, but FFS do we have to ignore that he also played for Cowdenbeath and Barnsley so that Mr Lamont can mention the striker as a Rangers man by so doing demean those other clubs. Mr Lamont is a troll. And the BBC Scotland football service is abominable both on TV and radio apart from a few exceptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Not terrible journalism but more the state of the Scottish press coverage. The Herald and the Scotsman have run the same report by the same writer Alasdair Fraser. The Sun are also running a report by him. The Record are carrying the PA report which is on ESPN, STV and others which begs the question how many journalists were actually at the game? The Press and Journel seems to have their own reporters there with a min by min by Andrew Clark and a match report by Andy Skinner but I don't have a sub so I can't actually read them. Even the Inverness Courier didn't have their own report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Michael Moore scored for us against Arbroath last week according to the Sunday Post. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Link. I've no idea if it happened or not, but in the team line-ups on the County vs Hamilton game it says Scott Fox was subbed after 69 minutes. You'd think an important moment in the match would at least earn a sentence of explanation as to what occurred, but Martin Dowden just seems to pretend it never happened. Not the worst case of shoddy journalism on this thread by a long stretch but still a bit poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would only mention a substitution if it was a really bad injury (ie likely to be out for months) or if it maybe effected the scoreline in some way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 The BBC's live updates from today's game(s): Correctly called Ryan Stevenson "Ryan Stevenson" then, in the very next update, called him "Ryan Stephenson" Said that Frederic Frans was sent-off last week against Ross County 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankthetank22 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The bbc radio Scotland didn't have a reporter at in Perth last night! They confirmed the line-up in 30 seconds prematch then had someone hold a microphone in front of either manager for a minute each after the game, THAT was it, effin ridiculous coverage to what was an entertaining game. It sounded like there was a full panel along the road to cover the arse of the dundee derby but they couldn't afford to pay one reporter to be at Perth! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
