Oh dear - Saints ban 'critical' reporter


DT

Recommended Posts

In truth, though, their spears bounced off the Pompey body armour.

 

Honours may have been shared but this was the day of the blue half of Hampshire.

 

A day when a last-gasp draw at the home of the Championship leaders and fierce rivals tasted as good as a victory.

 

And those on the bubble buses savoured every moment of the trip home.

 

 

Right....

 

We are top of the championship with 4 games to go. Portsmouth are 2nd bottom and 9 points away from avoiding relegation. Enjoy your Pompey body armour in League 1 / Blue Square / Oblivion.

sorry, but Sibley's actions, both his comments about PFC on twitter and this subsequent reaction to the negative press Allan gave him show a lack of class.

 

Still 100 times classier than Allen, based on the stuff on Twitter I've seen reposted...

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.

 

What "minor breach of protocol" are you referring to ?

Can't understand why he's using his position to cry about his treatment by big bad SFC instead of doing something worthwhile like organizing a collection for St Johns Ambulance or that schoolboys team in Dublin that his club owes money to. Get your priorities right you c u n t.

The guy is an absolute disgrace of a human being. Let alone a journalist. The article he wrote after the poopey game was rediculous, sensationalist,overhyped, over zealous bull sh1t of the highest order.

 

Obviously I can understand why a 'classy' publication like The News would put a Poopey slant on an article, and that can be accepted, but the drivel he comes out within ridiculous, saying he saw a 'bald men walking a dog who they threw V signs at the coach, as the victorious (lol) poopey supporters bus road on by'

 

It's an absolutely ridiculous article, and shows why the standard of journalism in this country is ridiculous, how this guy won an award n 2010 and how he is 'well-respected' in the industry is crazy.

 

I believe the club knew what a complete waste of space this so called 'journalist' is when he tried to get in the press box and simply went 'no, your a ****, you're not getting in'

 

Good on 'em, I think it's hilarious that out of spite maybe Allen writes that rediculous article, and what's even funnier is all the skates with 1 brain cell spread around the city lap up his sensationalised bull sh1t without even question.

 

Pompey's a sh1t city, with a population made up of morons, drug addicts and thieves with a sh1t newspaper, and extremely sh1t football club.

 

So I think Allen and Pompey suit each other quite nicely.

As he's the genius who gave us this...

...it's only fair it gets a run out on this thread.

 

One of my favourite ever pictures.

 

Very funny picture. But has no one else noticed the bird on the right who looks way too fit to be sat on one of those coaches. Shame.

We will get crucified if we play the "big boys" of the National Press like this when we get to the PL.

 

But until then?

 

Sibley is fast becoming a legend.

 

Totally NOT surprised he got his revenge for Neil Allens Tweets demanding Sibley got sacked for questioning poopeys award as Community Club of the Year. Everyone has seen how WRONG that decision was by the statement by PKF today showing they haven't paid a Hotel Bill or Coach company in ages.

 

Karma - you gotta love it, well done lad - we all know you post on here - would have done the same myself and felt BLOODY good about it.

 

BUT next year? A tad more cautious with the proper big fish

She's actually a bloke. And 'she' may or may not be fisting the bloke in front of her. Who's actually 'her' sister. It's very complicated. It was a 'special' bus.

At first I thought the photograph was actually a joke - I'd imagined some sicko had cut/pasted it from an article about a group of physically challenged people on a day out to the seaside. If this is the photo that was the header to the article, then this so-called journalist does indeed need re-training. A really ridiculous article. I'm a 50 year old man with 4 kids, well educated, but even I would have given hand signals to these so called "best supporters in the land." The poster above was right, a real journalist worth his salt would focus on the financial irregularities of this dying football club. Having said that, Saints need to up their PR a bit if we make the PL. Not just Sibley, but also Nigel. Sky won't be happy pumping millions into Saints, only to receive the same tape recorded after match interview every week.

got to be honest and say that whilst he was covering Hampshire cricket for the Snooze I met him a couple of times and he seemed an ok sort of bloke !!!!!!

What "minor breach of protocol" are you referring to ?

 

The supposed breach of an embargo on the Staplewood development story. The club imposed an embargo, but the Echo then found enough info already in the public domain to run the story anyway.

 

Most journalists would say that's fair enough. You might consider it sharp practice, but it warrants a rebuke on the phone and a lengthy period before other stories are given to him ahead of time and a warning this isn't helping the club-Echo relationship. Not an indefinite ban, which I believe was the punishment meted out.

Let's put that persistent rumour to bed: Rotherham got the Community Club award with Pompey being nominated. Pompey won the Family Club award.

Regardless of whether you think it was wrong / right or trivial, it just reinforces what we all know.

 

We are a closed shop, tight as fook and look after our own; From the squad to the pressman to the boardroom.

If people **** any one of this group off, the ranks get closed.

 

Sounds alright to me.

I would normally stand up for the rights of a journalist - whether local or national - to state his opinion in his written work, whether that's for or against a football club's policies, decisions, etc. However, in true football fan style, I'm going to be fickle on this occasion and say "**** him".

Absolutely. To f**k with a club employee is to f**k with the club itself.

Anyone remember that Neil Perrett article in the Bournemouth Echo after our game at Dean Court last year? They're all as bitter as each other.

 

Perrett is genuinely a w*nker, article or not. I can safely say that having met him. He also was very quick to take to Twitter and abuse Saints fans and then accuse them of trolling when we won all three matches and they took up their right to respond to him and put him in his place.

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.

 

Cause for concern at Pompey then...

Look at the end of the day he's not very good is he? Likening the bubble coaches to King kong being dragged through New York is pretty lame really.

I'd like to think he was banned just for being pretty crap...

Was King Kong dragged through New York?? Or didn't he just get buzzed off a tower...

Was wondering how long people would take to highlight the 'small fish' comment!

See, he can't even get that right... Actually that part of it was never shown, so yes he's wrong.

I'm quick like that... I can spot a fish joke from 50 paces...

 

 

At the end of the day I'd have barred him because he's not very good. End of.

It's flowery, overly verbose, ****** really... The fact he gets paid for it is just astonishing...

Personally I LOVE the fact that Sibley has balls and isn't afraid to have a dig or two...

It wasn't full but who cares?

 

The guy publicly called for Sibley to be sacked or offer an official apology for something on his personal account.

 

Cortese and Saints have just backed their man.

 

Not really a top of the table clash was it?

That's right. It's just the odd rotten apple. Leveson? Who's he?

 

You're willing to blindly overlook some of the award winning journalism that has changed lives for the better? A journalist who graduated from the same course as me went on to expose the care home scandal that featured on Panorama. He's a right c*nt isn't he for doing that, yeah, what a rotten apple, just like all of us.

 

And by the way, the press area at St. Mary's is rarely full.

Perrett pretty much admitted to trolling for impressions via his newspaper columns. Fine that they want to sell advertising, they just shouldn't expect to be taken seriously as newspeople...
