wild-saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Nelson Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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.

Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 My Dad called me to say, "ooooh i hear we are keen on that Brian Stock then, he's a bloody good player" Guess what, he got that from the echo. As unlike me, he doesnt frequent forums. The echo is doing its job. Dont like it? Dont read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 Its an article about speculation FFS, get a grip people. Newspapers report on news and also rumour and speculation - they have been doing it for hundreds of years so why this comes as a shock to some on here is quite shocking.

Third Division South Days Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 Since the Echo/NC fallout it is very noticeable how the Echo is struggling to find any exclusive info to print about Saints.

Pancake Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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.

Smirking_Saint Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintrich Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

derry Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 13 January, 2010 Share Posted 13 January, 2010 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.
