Just been look at some of the Mag vlogs, in particular the ones before the game.

The behaviour of their fans should be investigated by the FA, the bottles thrown at the team coach and the hail of bottles thrown at Sunderland fans as they walked up to the ground was just not acceptable.

Ok a bit of banter is fine but this was back to the 1970’s

I made that be wrong, but I have seen Mags arrogance going at our place and apart from name calling and hand gestures, I can really remember it kicking off as it did yesterday.

Add in the racism from some of their fans and both the FA and PL should come down on them very hard

The police invited that, seen a video where the segregated path they had to walk through with mags either side was about 3 man wide and a handful of coppers escorting them. Was bound to be trouble getting that close

Football 365 taking the piss out of a Mirror headline :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Getting away with it​


You must forgive Mediawatch’s geeky obsession with headlines, but this one from the Mirror excited us a little bit.



Now you and we are very familiar with the long-standing tactic of using the humble, innocent-looking ‘as’ to make two entirely unconnected and very flimsy pieces of information appear to represent one compelling whole (there’s a lovely example coming up later on in here, for instance, look forward to that), but this is slightly different and thus – to us, at least – fascinating.

This is using two pieces of information that are related, but reach entirely opposite conclusions to form one completely misleading whole.

What you have here is a headline that equates the ‘disallowed goal verdict’ of Darren Cann, who knows what he’s talking about, with a mysterious ‘some’ who apparently believed Sunderland ‘got away with one’.



And thus you have a headline that heavily implies Newcastle have been robbed when the only expert testimony says the exact opposite.

And as for the ‘some’ who said Sunderland ‘got away with one’? Turns out that’s actually just Alan Smith on commentary for Sky. To be honest, good call not to undermine the intro with that information. On balance, we’d agree it probably is better to have people assume it’s just some randoms off twitter.

The Mirror is a pro mag newspaper. It has been ever since the early 90s when it took John Hall's coin, then Trinity Mirror took over Thomson media in the late 90s. As Simon Bird still writes for them I wouldn't trust that rag to say anything positive about us.
