Noodles Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 A thousand apologies if a thread already exists but I was wondering whether or not anyone else has become sick to the back teeth of their recent Quisling-esque reporting style. There seems to be a united campaign to get Charver the f***ing job and with articles like this "John Carver cuts a lonely and isolated figure on the sideline at the moment. The best that can be said last night is that he at least tried to conjure more from a squad that has been cut to the bone and left unfit for the purpose of competing at this level. He made some tactical changes, got a reaction of sorts and was incredibly unlucky with a penalty call that seemed inexplicable. He then suffered the indignity of seeing Moussa Sissoko, a man whom he had defended as justifiable captaincy material in the build-up to this game, see red in the second half for two moments of pure indiscipline" trying to absolve him of the blame for last night's toothless performance, it's all getting too much to take. Have they sold their arses for re-admittance to the press box? I think so............. They haven't been to forthcoming with support for the latest campaign either - it's all come a long way from the days of "P45DUE" and other attention grabbing articles. Much like a Game of Thrones, these fuckers would do well to keep in mind "the north remembers". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder is the worst by far - he's absolutely terrified of not being able to get in for free, to lose part of his 'platform'. This is because he thinks his opinions matter, but he's an absolutely terrible journalist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It's absolutely spineless from them. Every article they write which glosses over the clubs current failings might as well be them spitting in their readers faces. They could galvanise a grassroots movement like Ashley Out - instead, they'll seek to marginalise it by limiting it's column inches. Disgraceful.

Noodles Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 'da f*** is the point criticising Carver, anyway?? At this stage, with the spursboycott, attention should be kept truly and firmly on the regime. In my view critiquing Carvers management goes hand in hand with discussing how poorly the club is being run. The two are mutually related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Last night they resorted to making stories out of Neville and Carragher's comments on Sky Sports. Hard to understand why they're up Ashleys arse so much when they get nothing back in return in the way of player access for interviews and exclusives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 What was more interesting for me, was that last week Mark Douglas was off Monday - Wednesday or something - and during that time not once was the BoycottSpurs campaign mentioned, despite it blowing up massively over social media. Lee Ryder is so far up the clubs backside it's ridiculous. I do understand it's difficult for local newspapers, especially ones that live and die off their sports coverage. But I feel that unless they come out and actively back the AshleyOut campaign that they might well be on a collision course with the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony being that those useless bastards will benefit massively from a new owner due to access restrictions being lifted and people wanting to read about their club again. Shocking pack of spineless twats. No integrity whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Without fans buying the chronicle, Ryder wouldn't have a fucking job. The club aren't paying his wages, so I see no reason why they wouldn't represent the views of the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just think how many more papers they'd sell if they represented the views of the masses rather than toe-ing the party line to avoid a club ban. Fucking sickening cowardice from what should be one of the biggest fan mouthpieces in the area. Take the ban, print what you think is right and become the poster boys for the protest against our horrific regime rather than being controlled by it you fucking pussies.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't get their strategy on this at all TBH, it doesn't make sense on any level. Real reporting would sell more papers, would build their individual careers, would get them more respect, everything. They trade representing the public and printing what's really happening for meaningless quotes that they could find out from elsewhere anyway.

I remember when the Chronicle used to be a decent read that people looked to for club news etc. (The Pink is sadly missed). Nowadays the staccato remedial ramblings of Ryder are neither informative nor incisive. No place for cack like this in todays world IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ryders latest article begging us to feel sorry for Sissoko is pretty bad even for him. Must be hell for him being allowed to not give a fuck for £40k a week until a big club rescues him. Poor thing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I really think that Editor has missed the point about journalism. You still have to make some editorial judgement, you can't treat blatant rubbish like 'club mentions potential future spending' with the same importance that you give to the disintegration of our entire identity. That's not balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
