saintquin Posted 7 November, 2009 Share Posted 7 November, 2009 "And just five minutes later Connolly effectively booked the 1977 Cup winners' place in round " So Connolly now plays for Man Utd! When was the last time they played in the first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint peach Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 I'd like to apologise on behalf of Press Association for this. I work there and I'm in the office now. Just told those involved about the mistake - they looked pretty embarassed. If I was further up the hierachy I'd put a rocket up them... Anyway, rest assured that there will be fewer mistakes while I'm writing the copy. In fact, there will be much more Saints coverage if I have my way.

I do apologise for making a mistake on an internet forum. My bad. Indeed. Those that criticise could look to their own mistakes. Last time I looked, peice was spelled [or spelt, for the pedants] piece. Perhaps we can break out some peace, at this point. We can all do typos. What really annoys is lazy journalistic opinion without foundation or fact to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker268 Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 "Connolly, making his first start after joining Saints as a free agent" apparently he hasn't played for us before, just our imagination obviously.

Good luck with keeping things in order, it seems to need it It was Connolly's first start. All his previous appearances had been as a substitute.

The opening sentence mentions a second half debut double which probably would have been better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 Almost as sloppy a piece of journalism as in the Mirror today - it said that Portsmouth's George Boateng was in the team of the month for October. That'ws wrong on two levels - 1) It's Kevin Prince not George, and 2) No Pompey players deserve to be anywhere near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 9 November, 2009 Share Posted 9 November, 2009 But you didn't notice that hierarchy wasn't spelt correctly?! Oh yes I did. I also noticed saint peach had forgotten to complete the line... ...on behalf of [the] Press Association... But that's not what the subject was about, was it..? And I thought I'd managed to cover all the angles. If you going to be pedantic, it might help if you read the entire thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't matter but if they are paid to do a job. Why not do it properly I think it was a good piece of Journalism although the detail was incorrect as the article highlighted how far we have fallen I dont expect there have been many former cup winners in Round 1 except for Leeds and Man City recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
