samptime29 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Been reading throughout the day. It's fantastic, so much different content about teams and sports I'm interested in. Seems like they're having daily Q&A's with podcasts being added. Early impressions: £30 for the year is an absolute bargain. I've had it since last year because of other sports i'm interested in, worth every penny. I didn't know they were investing in staff for football mind. Good to hear.

NEEJ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The app is slick as fuck, like. But that quote Wullie highlighted doesn't sit right with me at all; it's absolutely lifting regardless of whether he apologised or not for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Doesn't take much to beat the Chronicle's coverage tbh. Yet more dull recollections of yesteryear. They fucking love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The app is slick as fuck, like. But that quote Wullie highlighted doesn't sit right with me at all; it's absolutely lifting regardless of whether he apologised or not for it. I don't love the app, like. Pretty clunky having to continually press the back button at times and stuff like only being able to delete everything in your bookmarks rather than individual articles. I can't seem to unfollow my subscriptions, either? Edit, re the last point, found it (manage national coverage) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Signed up, this seems to have solved a huge gap in the market. Excited for what they do with the platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamninator Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The guys behind it are the definition of douche Silicon Valley tech bros, but if they can get the product half as good as what they currently produce for the USA sports market, it's worth the every cent. They were already producing some decent football content, but very top team centric - if anyone will do a good job shining the light on fatty, it's them.

samptime29 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Had a look this morning, and they're are loads of new articles. Loving how bitter that snide Neil Custis is about the situation. Well funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Am I the only person who thinks the majority of football writing is complete gash? I genuinely wouldn’t dream of paying for it. You get zero tactical analysis from these people they barely understand the game imo They've signed up Michael Cox (Zonal Marking guy), if you rate him?

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Michael Cox is a good listen, regular on the Totally Football Show with James Richardson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Pilgrim Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Football journalism is typically awful and they somehow show more hubris than agents. They behave as if they're somehow integral to the game and the oracles of truth. In reality most of them can barely string an original thought together and know fuck all about football.

Each to their own, but disagree with this. Clearly there is some shite football journalism, but there's some great content out there IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Chronicle’s content is getting worse. Click bait and filler nonsense. And their website is the most un-user friendly experience ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The Chronicle is turd. The website is horrific. Ryder is snider. Gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamninator Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I for one am just shocked that Lee Ryder wasn't one of the chosen ones. Obviously overplayed his hand during the negotiations and refused to budge from his two Greggs vouchers and a 6 pack per week demands that Keith Bishop is currently paying him. Definitely overpriced for a man of his... talents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality most of them can barely string an original thought together and know fuck all about football. totally agree. paid way too much, way too much self importance. If anyone can tell me why either Custis brother deserves to comment on football then go for it Custis is utter gash, but The S*n isn't journalism. If you get no enjoyment from well written football articles, then fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single one seemed like "Here's a cast iron opinion you might as well treat as fact about team x" that you'll look back on in 6 months and will be utter bullshit.
