    I did notice this. this is not the first time this has happened if I recall correctly, maybe a couple of month ago.

    Raise a glass to the HDM, yet again they have excelled themselves.

    Think they quoted SB as saying same "vain" when the context was clearly "vein".

    Bad editorial standards. I noticed later today that the Yorkshire post got it right.

    In the Swanny report on the game it said Elmo went passed Cole on the left flank, pity they don't know their left from their right.

    I think they were probably reporting on Chelsea.

    That's nowt.

    Gwylym was on sports news at half 4 and had about 6 attempts at pronouncing Nikica Jelavic and just had to give up in embarrassment.

    Preparation? Zero.

    Professionalism ? Zero.

    Ability to listen and remember topical names? Zero.

    I don't understand why they can't cope with names like that on Humberside. Burnsy even does it and he's usually very good at what he does. If you've heard 'Nikita Jelavic' a few times surely you can pronounce it pretty easily? It's hardly like that Polish lad Blaszksycklswsksyskwszyxovski is it?

    They read it off autocue but they appear to have zero prep for the 'difficult' names.

    That or an utter inability to read.

    Cringeworthy stuff from professional broadcasters.

    Perhaps Steve Harper could do it?

    As far as I'm aware, Stee Harper is too busy resting and preparing for HCAFC games to burn energy on another strenuous job.

    Best part of that was it still said 3pm. So who ever put the advert together hadn't thought a midweek afternoon kickoff was worth checking before putting it up.
