My morning at Newcastle United...

you have, as you stated above.

 

Not sure why you're insisting on making some kind of argument out of this. I posted this article on here for people to read initially, and noticed this evening via Newsnow that it had been added to the official site, which I found strange (again, if it's a regular occurance with other clubs then fine - I don't read them. It's not something I've seen on ours ever before). As I read it again I realised a couple of bits had been edited, so I listed them out. The end.

 

Thanks for your input.

Sorry, which other clubs have put a blog on their website taking the bits out they don't like?

 

I don't have a particular problem with the whole thing but the "other clubs do it and we only kick up a fuss about it cos it's them cunts" idea appears to be without basis.

i know sunderland have changed words, as have man utd, i'd guess every company that has an advertising account does.......or if they don't change them with permission they alter the context.

Well no, the fact they're drawing attention to the day is not what's a bit odd here.

 

As I say, I have no problem with the concept as such.  I was just asking whether other clubs have taken blog posts directly and edited them in such a way.

Fuck off.

 

How's that for an answer? I know it's considered a pretty good one on here by some so it should serve fine here as well.

Rather bizarrely .cock have now put this up to promote their club membership shit.

 

Bits they've edited out:

  • The word 'whore' from the introduction.
  • 'Did I mention Demba Ba seems a bit dim?' (which means the following sentence doesn't make sense).
  • 'I assume at this point they probably talked about garlic, or onions, or black and white hooped tshirts, or maybe berets? Who knows. I was bloody fascinated though…'
  • The part that suggests Beardsley and some of the other coaches 'clearly aren’t into berets'.
  • Replaced 'French clique' with 'French lads'.
  • Replaced 'French clique' with 'French lads' again.
  • Deleted 'god knows, one nudge and he’ll be out for another month' about HBA.
  • Deleted 'What a tool.' regarding Ranger's car.
  • Replaced 'the supposed outcasts' (Perch, Kadar and Ranger) with 'players'.
  • Deleted '– including one man who is there with his wife. Pards puts his arm round the wife and then laughs, “I’m not putting my arm around you” to the bloke. Oh Alan, you sly devil…'.
  • Deleted 'Maybe hoping I have a wife? I don’t know'
  • Deleted 'Clearly, this is a much better way of describing my day… Had I have tweeted all of this, I’d have had nobody left following me – maybe just that Geordie69 bloke asking me if I could get him a shirt or pair of players boots.'.
  • Added to the end (dunno if they asked him to write this or just put it in themselves) 'As a season ticket holder for the last ten years, I never thought I'd get the chance to live out an experience like this, seeing the lads in their own environment, away from the cameras, just being themselves was a real joy. I was tempted to have a word with Pards to let him know that I'm available on a free, so can be signed outside of the transfer window, and should it help my cause, I'm willing to change my surname to either Ameobi or Taylor...'

 

 

You need a hobby.

<things that aren't really appropriate for the club to be seen endorsing>

 

Maddy has a point, what is bizarre about any of this?

 

It was a good read, no doubt people at the club (some in PR) have seen it and spoken to the guy involved to see if they can use it. Obviously, as it was originally a personal 'blog' entry, it'll need editing to make it suitable for NUFC to post. Can't really have the club's website with an entry saying 'the supposed outcasts' (Perch, Kadar and Ranger)"

 

Can't see why anyone would bat an eyelid about the editions, if anything, I'm surprised it's not been edited further to make it more mundane.

Enjoyed reading that. Especially the way he describes making an Ameobi laugh as if he's David Attenborough humbly witnessing a rare glimpse of nature.

 

Quite understandable that .cock edit out anything negative or that might embarrass some of the players.

Without a doubt.

I liked reading it. I think it's naive to not expect parts of it to be edited though when appearing on the club site as they are essentially endorsing his words.

 

All the edits make perfect sense really.

Nah the club should keep all the embarrassing parts and upload the whole truth, so we can have a go at them for their PR stupidity. It is just "bizarre" that they even think of editing the blog post
