Daily Echo = pathetic


Tac-tics

Recommended Posts

It seems if people get really wound up with the Daily Echo. It seems a fairly simple solution not to read it but still people cant help but read and then post drivel on here about poor / sloppy / inaccurate journalism.

 

Who gives a shyte what they print its an effing newspaper FFS. Are they not all the same ? full of Spin, inaccuracies and bias.

 

Get over yourselves and refrain from buying it and looking at thier website. Job Done.

The article was clearly labelled as rumours and the like. I don't think they have done something awful.

 

The sad part is that our football club and our local newspaper can't cooperate. I'm not apportioning blame, but I'm disappointed that when NC was unhappy with the reporting of the future of the training ground he 'banned' the newspaper, rather than speaking to them.

 

It wasn't the Echo which broke the embargoed news, it was already all over the media.

 

We need the club and the paper to work hand in hand, and both parties need to come to an understanding.

No, but he asked them not to print it even after that. They ignored him.

You say you aren't apportioning blame and then go on to do so. :D

 

You have no idea what happened and have written an account as if it were fact.

I usually like the Echo but its crap that every single of those rumours are lifted from here.

 

People I know always try and tell me about breaking news they have seen in the Echo and are always disappointed when I tell them I heard it a few days ago on here or somewhere similar.

Yes it is, I'm not denying that, Im just saying its lazy how all 100% of those rumours are from HERE.

 

But they arent really, are they? Where did "we" get them from? 606, other clubs websites, ITK posters? Isnt there some chance that the Echo also got them from those sources too? Im sure they keep tabs on NewsNow, so will have seen the rumours on there from other clubs webzines, plus despite being barred from SMS, they will still have contacts there too.

 

Just because SWF "goes to print" quicker than the Echo, it doesn't mean we had the "scoop" before them either. We can post what we like on here, but they have a professional code to adhere to and editors to check and triple check anything that gets posted online or in print.

I think it is you who is pathetic mate .

 

Of course this forums has rumours so do other forums newspapers and BBC/SKY etc .

 

 

We get rumours from these sites too.

 

 

The Echo is only doing the same as I said for non forum users

Are you actually thick.

 

Everything from the Echo is fabricated or lifted from here, how blind or simply retarded do people have to be to see this?

Tac-tics, if they are from here, heard over the bar somewhere or actually from the horses mouth not everybody is on this forum and so they need to get their saints information from somewhere.

 

I understand why you say they are lazy but they are only a small local newspaper and so don't have the contacts etc that SSN has which makes it difficult. They will get their info from wherever they can.

 

They are only doing their job mate.

What a pathetic thread. How can you have cutting edge journalism on an article about rumours. Rumours are generally word of mouth and what other media forms have been reporting... so what better place to get word of mouth rumours - a forum where saints fans talk about saints. Anyway half the rumours on here started in papers anyway; Croydon echo for example. Dunno how you can slag this article off.

Sorry to disappoint but the only rumour on that list that I saw on this site first was Brian Stock.

 

Still, seeing as I've clearly labelled it as a round-up of all the Saints rumours, I don't really see why it would matter if I had.

Not everything is lifted from here it comes from skysports, national newspapers and other fans forums as well. That indeed is where things are coming from to be on here !

I think your supposed to wear a mac and trilby then meet up with nervous contacts in shady backstreet bars or on railway platforms to be seen to be a 'proper' journo.

 

I get the 'inside dope' from Billy the Shoe Shine Kid on the corner of 5th and Main. He ain't sayin' nothin' unless you slip him a 20.

Relatively, we spend a lot of time on here and collectively a lot of ground is covered elsewhere. We are a minority and the majority get their news from regular sources. Tv and national newspapers have very little in the way of Saints news so the Echo plus local radio and Tv are the only available sources for them.

 

The Echo pulling together the available news and conjecture makes sense and is interesting for readers that haven't heard any rumours.

 

It is easy to get blase if one works at the Hant's FA and in local football but others who have no connections are grateful for that article. Two of the rumours have signed so some of the information is worth passing on.

 

So what has happened with Ward?

I sent the Sports Desk an email last week because they were obviously unaware of the Dec 31st cutoff for bookings and were saying in the Echo/Pink that Schneiderlin was suspended and others on four bookings were facing suspension. I pointed them at the FA rulebook.

 

That they were unaware of the rules I thought was crass. Needless to say I didn't get a reply but they haven't mentioned it since.
