fareham saint phil Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 these ****ing reporters think they have the right to do and say whatever they like and seem to think they are important and that people hang on their every word, i couldnt give a **** if they banned the lot of them, they are so one sided in their reporting and they love to stir and fan the flames.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Why is it "oh Dear"?......do you know for a fact that the press box was not full?

doddisalegend Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 There were already two portsmouth reporters at the game according to the link how many do they need to write a story.......Sounds like he is just upset he didn't get a free ticket to the biggest game of the season......he could have done what the echo do and bought a ticket and gone in as a paying fan....

hypochondriac Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Considering the sensationalist and unnecessarily emotive trash that Allen came out with in his article after the game, I reckon the club showed good judgement here (and normally I make it a rule not to comment on newspaper articles as generally people are entitled to an opinion!)

cdvdtz Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Think he was more ****ed that he had to pay for his ticket than anything else. Also, why does it matter that he's an 'award-winning' journalist? They had two guys there already, how many does it take to write a biased match article?

The9 Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Has NO-ONE picked up on Sibley's hilarious little comment in that article ? “Understandably for such a high profile fixture (not only a local derby, but also a top vs second from bottom of the table clash), we had a large number of requests for accreditation, and as is the case in such circumstances, had to limit organisations to a set number of reporters/photographers in order to accommodate everyone fairly,” he said. Cos, you know, those "top v second bottom" clashes are always heavily subscribed, and it definitely wasn't just him having a sly dig about Skate Cheats' crappy league position.

One of my favourite ever pictures. When the book is written about the takeover thread, that pic and the old lady with the scooter have to be included. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that the "comedy" has ran for longer than a year, the picture of Skate Hawkins and his gang should be the front cover.

LVSaint Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 What a desperate piece of writing that was. Who would have thought a 2-2 draw against their most hated rivals could induce such jubilation. It was a draw FFS. All he has done is expose their super angry bitterness and inferiority complex towards us and given us a priceless piccy to laugh at now.

SaintBobby Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Much more concerned about the results on the pitch than some spat with a journalist. But...the club do seem to arrange their PR in an unorthodox and rather odd fashion (the ban on photographers leading papers to show the highlights in a cartoon strip, the ban on the Echo for what seems a minor breach of protocol etc) It's not the most important thing in the world, but it does look a bit silly, weird and childish at times.

Crazy Diamond Posted 11 April, 2012 Share Posted 11 April, 2012 Media policy is very rarely straight forward and often comes down to the manager actually. Harry would let the world and their missus into the tunnel at full time, Burley then asked for only the people that absolutely had to be there to attend and no one else. Look at Ferguson, he bans anyone who looks at him the wrong way or doesn't dress appropriately. This guy at the Portsmouth News is a small fish. It's not worth worrying about.
