Nexstar Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 On the back page of today's edition it has a picture of Rickie's second and, what you would expect to be an up-to-date, table. However, the table is of course not up-to-date and is in fact from back in November, after we had played 18 games and were lying in sixth. Instead we've played 26 games and are fourth. Well done, The Daily Echo. (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 Has anyone stopped to consider the fact that they've purposely used the seemingly out-of-date table to emphasise just how well we've been doing since November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintjersey Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I would be given a month's notice by my boss if I made a mistake like that at my work. You would think at least somebody would check their work before it is printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 There's a poll on their Saints website section about transfer dealings. It's impossible to vote on it because some job vacancies roll across it. Click on your choice in the poll and you get directed to a job vacancy!

Why would they do that? Why do that and not tell anyone or mention it anywhere in the paper? Why choose a table from November? Why not choose a table in September when we were bottom half?

JRM Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 It is just a Newspaper, I really don’t understand why people get that wound up about it, I can’t imagine spurs fans posting on their forum just because the evening standard got something wrong. I don’t buy the echo as don’t live in Southampton, but got the pink on the way back on Sunday and thought it was decent coverage, better than most teams get from their local paper.

Crazy Diamond Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I'm a journalist and the quality of the Echo's sports team absolutely disgusts me. We're fighting for every job out there and yet the sports writers, a loosely applied term to those that work there, have got their job and their own byline and use it to produce absolute crap. There are probably hundreds of people who are looking for a role in the industry for every job at their sports desk, so it's extremely frustrating to know that such amateurs are occupying those jobs. Newspapers are dying on their collective arses, especially the locals, and it's little wonder when such shoddy products are on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say you can't talk about it, I just don't understand why you are bothered about it. There are loads of alternatives if you don't like the echo.

The pink seemed decent on Sunday, there isn't even a sports paper dedicated to London clubs up here You say it as though people complain at the Echo's political bias, like national newspapers. But the complaint is at the journalists who cannot even get the most simple facts correct and then expect to be able to sell this newspaper to thousands of people each day, unnoticed.

Neil Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I've stopped getting the Echo as their coverage of Saints was so dismal. Presumably they've offered a full-page apology for the lies, bull-**** and ****-stirring about AOC that they continued with for most of January?

Dellman Posted 2 February, 2011 Share Posted 2 February, 2011 I never see the Echo becaue I live out of the area but I know there is conflict with the Club , I guess because it is so amateur and our Club is now professionally run. My question is..is it true that the Echo was telling us the sale of Oxo was a done deal and if so shouldn't it be called to account? Or at least apologise, it unsettles the club the players and the fan base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
