Hanshithispantz Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 They’re just openly admitting that they couldn’t give a fuck about any kind of journalistic code We know this anyway but it’s canny funny that they’re so brazen about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Was absolutely fuming, we didn't take Shelvey or Lascelles to World Cup, but must admit, have been pretty impressed with how Southgate has handled everything so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 They seem oblivious to the main point, which is that it's not a story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I missed this "photogate" thing, these huffy tweets from journalists are fantastic. I think Lampard had it right, the players have made an effort to develop a rapport with these people and this was clearly an abuse of that relationship. I've seen the same journalists whining on the sunday supplement about players not wanting to talk to the media anymore, at what point will the penny drop? You're cunts, no one likes you and no one trusts you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It's all a big fallout over nothing IMO. Steve Holland was careless, yes. But it was suggested about 10 minutes after FT on Monday you could bring in Rashford for Sterling and given Alli appeared injured and Ruben Loftus-Cheek made an impact, swap the latter for the former. People on here said it. People on Twitter said it. 5 Live Tuesday morning were saying it. I can see where Southgate's coming from. When it comes to England, for whatever reason our reporters covering the national team for national papers (John Cross et al - all the usual knackas that appear on Sunday Supplement week in, week out) want to bash the team. Was this really in the public interest, given two possible changes were so widely speculated? No. However, has it severely jeopardised our chances of beating Panama? No. The way some reporters have reacted is quite frankly pathetic. I don't think they expected so many people, particularly on social media, to come out in support of Southgate. If anything, it should be a lesson for the FA maybe not to be as open in future. They've seemingly bent over backwards to accommodate reporters, which is to be commended. It might work elsewhere but as long as we've got journalists doing whatever to sell papers and get hits and clicks, it should probably be reconsidered.

Kimbo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It is only Panama, but what if it was Germany in the knockout stages and changes had been made specifically to deal with them, would they have done the same? Southgate will need to question whether journalists will be allowed near training when we play decent teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how we play i completely understand it now personally. Aye, I mean I still think Delph is pointless, and Livermore ahead on reserve was a pisstake, but he’s playing with 2 pretty dynamic, mobile midfielders alongside Henderson. If Henderson plays like he did against Tunisia too then there’s less need for Shelvey anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 "Steve Holland apologises and we (the English press) informally agree to not report on things which could jeopardise Southgate's preparations."
