(and no it's not me) I often wonder what some of our fanbase who regularly tear the various journalists apart do as a job, I am presuming something along the lines of Brain Surgeons or Rocket Scientists perhaps? Well you spotted my line good buddy. Bravo. I posted the link by the way which, if you are actually interested shows a female name on the article. I have not criticised any journalists and I do not believe any were involved in the making of this... well what would you call it. Can I not call it rubbish, although that is what it is? I actually found the irony of the headline and the photograph very funny, but now see the sadness of it and share your pain. If this had been Viz I would be commending them for their sharp wit, but it is supposed to be a newspaper which represents Sheffield and is writing an article related to our club that is a load of very funny tripe. Sad mate. You are right, it is very sad. Makes me titter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People not getting it, or better still putting up mock outrage and accusing me of having a go at the BLOKE that wrote the article is even funnier. I mean really who is Danny Batth?! Heh hey! Tops.

Stoop Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Is the star an amateur publication these days? The amount of spelling mistakes I’ve noticed in their articles recently is pretty comical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Tbf to the star it is an excellent article. Very informative, I mean he was only here for 18 months so it’s good that they are giving us the lowdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green 'Un, what an institution that was. The Star, Morning Telegraph and the Green Un were bristling with top quality journalists that really got into the clubs, went behind the scenes and actually told us news before it was seen elsewhere. They did get caught out a couple of times, but on the whole the articles were well written pretty accurate and interesting. I read the occasional article at my parents and see the SWFC articles online, but I haven't bought it for years since they had the last clearout and brought in the current set of copiers. There are quite a few good reporters elsewhere that seem to have their fingers on the pulse though and Owlstalk often uncovers a few golden nuggets.

Think difference is the journos then actually knew most of the players and owners and frequented the same places in the city as most players lived local. Not like today.

The amount of spelling mistakes I’ve noticed in their articles recently is pretty comical These days many tasks are outsourced to the third world, even article writing. This might explain the spelling mistakes, as I've heard from a mate that The Star have been outsourcing to Barnsley for a few years already.
