Jan Vojáček Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 43 minutes ago, Darren said: SEO plays a part in every player under the sun being called former Celtic or Rangers. Although I wouldn't be at all surprised if The Daily Record has always done it. I've done this for my own articles with Sons players and the difference it makes to views is incredible. I'm not judged on page views (thankfully) but for reporters who are it's an easy way to boost your figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching some EFL highlights at the weekend and a goal was scored by Joe Nuttall. Likely mean nothing to you but the name rang a bell so I googled and turns out I was right, he made two appearances for Aberdeen back early on in the mcinnes era. The only reason I googled him was a very passing association with Aberdeen. That mindset is all they’re leaning into with it and I don’t think it’s that unreasonable a tactic. Again, you're not wrong - but leaning into the Old Firm pandering mindset in a national newspaper exemplifies much of what's wrong with football reporting in this country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 (edited) It's not terrible journalism, because it's exactly what he said but there's not really a place for thick shit footballers say.

Swami Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From the BBC Gossip column this morning (I know, I know), but I think this fulfils the brief of the thread. Retired Danish striker David Boysen reveals that he has supported Rangers from afar ever since he was humiliated by Scott Brown during a trial period at Celtic in his youth and says he took revenge by stealing the midfielder's clothes after a game.

Darren Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From the BBC's Dundee v Rangers match report: Rangers have gone from a position where they could have been two points ahead of Celtic by winning their two games in hand to one where, even if they win the final Old Firm derby of the season away to their city rivals, they will be behind on goal difference should both sides win their other four remaining games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
