Loco Rojo Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Typical classic English media. Today they are reporting that the England Assistant Manager (AM) might have let slip the line up/tactics of the England team for Sunday because some *** has taken a photo of a sheet of paper. The photo I saw showed some attempt at the person trying to keep the sheet hidden and (im assuming) this person was within the confines of a training area - not in a bar so why has someone tried to photo it, other that to create a story and make money. What gets my goat most though and is another reason I dislike the whole England circus (and yes, I include the media in this because of the over hype and frequent negative stories during tournements) is because the Media are blaming the England AM for revealing it - WHO THE **** IS REPORTING IT/PRINTING IT!!!!!! THE ******* MEDIA SCUM. It's the media who are revealing it not the AM, it's the media who are at fault for making this pubic and yet they are blaming the AM. The media *****! I hate them with a passion as they never take accountability for their actions and blame everyone else. Not one of them has said in their reports - actually if it wasn't for the media, no one would have seen this photo. Dicks! This has really ruined by breakfast.

ZiderEyed Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Fortunately I reckon the average person sees through it nowadays. It's only a minority that read the anti-English papers and think it's all true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this just give more credence to the idea that the media wants us to lose. They're putting us at risk vs Panama by printing stuff like that, Murdoch and Dacre would absolutely love it if we lost on sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It wasn’t exactly earth shattering though was it. We know England play with a 532, we know Alli is carrying an injury and got replaced by RLC, and Sterling got replaced by Rashford in the Tuna game. Had the notebook showed a 442 or 433 or no Kane, I think there’d be a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand Dave but it's the principle that once again the English media report something that in my view isn't in the public interest and is just reportrd to try and discredit the England set up. For what benefit? Why didn't they sit back and say, you know what, we won't print or report this as it does more potential damage than good. It sums up the media in this country that rather than get behind something that could be good, they are more interested in trying to knock it down just to sell a story. It just highlights how sleazy and rat like the media are to try and get a story from nothing. Scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 As for the ‘leak’, we’ll bugger me it’s hardly revelatory is it. It basically just shows every player who travelled and what position they play. I think even Panama could have probably worked that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I doubt the photographer was even in the camp and could likely have had a long range lense on, but it's holland's fault for carrying paper around rather than the guy who photographs it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCyder Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 They really are clutching at straws with this. Desperate to run a negative story and this is all they can orchestrate. I can imagine the average reader genuinely shitting it now that Panama know a list of players from our squad and their preferred positions. it's no longer coming home.

RUSSEL85 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I hate the media, anything for a "click" these days, and in this day of social media, everyone is a journalist. I'm not sure its the actual line up, games in training switch all the time so think its been blown out of proportion a little, but if Panama beat us we know who to blame . The training session today is behind closed doors, so can only assume he has picked his side for Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 22, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 There is another side to this, that it is a red herring and they knew what they were doing?

Flounder Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Simply put Is the media there to support England at the World Cup or is it there to report on England at the Eorld Cup? The answer lies in the publication of the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they think in their demented minds that that`s what the public want them to do and they genuinely believe it`s `investigative journalism`. Don`t forget they thought it was OK to hack the voicemail of a murder victim to try and sell more of their rags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was the English 'media' had gone out of the way to photograph (or pay for the photos), leak the information and then blame the Assistant Manager for it? Shocking. To your point though, had England lost and knowing this information benefited Panama or their preparations you can guarantee that the media wouldn't have held their hands up to apologise for the leak. They would have printed front and back pages vilifying the Assistant Manager blaming him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
