That is truly incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Don't know if it was mentioned here before: but since the Lowland League campaign started a week past Saturday the BBC fixtures, league tables etc. were showing newly relegated East Stirlingshire as "East Stirlingshire Clydebank" - being the name of the club for a single season at Kilbowie over 50 years ago. They also got 7 of Saturday's 8 LL full-times wrong. Somebody must have grassed as fixtures and table now showing East Stirlingshire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to guess: * whoever was responsible for updating their systems wouldn't have a clue who East Stirlingshire are * with them being relegated to LL they wouldn't already be appearing in the listing, as they had in SPFL2 up until now - as "East Stirling" [sic] IIRC * if they use PA database/similar there'd be an "East Stirlingshire Clydebank" entry connected to their results in the 1960s * they selected that instead of "East Stirling" It's still incredibly sloppy, though. That said I'd rate getting 7 out of 8 full-time scores wrong as worse. Edited August 11, 2016 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather they were honest and just didn't mention anything outside the top division TBH, as this is actually more insulting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So did Darren actually think that there was a mistake in that article and that Magennis isn't Northern Irish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sloppy but as you say, certainly no worse than getting loads of scores wrong. Once more, it's this chronic lack of care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm guessing that Darren is reading the "Magennis from Kilmarnock" bit in isolation, kinda missing the point that he's been signed from that club. Who knows though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It says "Charlton striker Magennis" my assumption is that is what Darren is getting at due to the word "sign" being missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin McCann Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Derek Ferguson and Stephen Thompson on the radio last night claiming they would never cheat and Scottish players are more honest.
