formerly known as ivan Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Taken from their gossip column which I used to enjoy reading until now... WBO intercontinental middleweight champion and West Brom fan Tommy Langford took his belt along to be photographed with several Baggies players - including Chris Brunt - at the FA Cup tie with Bristol Rovers. Langford fights Lewis Taylor for the vacant Commonwealth title at the Echo Arena in Liverpool next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 File along with the BBC Final Score reporter telling us that Frankie Field had not had much to do in the second half, completely failed to notice the substitution, or the studio going on about how Pulis used to play for the Gas when his managerial stint at City was much more relevant. Or ........... How about this from the Birmingham Mail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charliesboots Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Do we actually have an effective Press Department putting our profile out there so rubbish like this doesn't get printed/reported? If we do they must be having a right laugh at the club every time they go to the bank on Payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 What annoys me is the fact that they used radio commentary to go with the TV pictures last night, very poor. Then again, if all the freeloaders paid their license fee instead of watching BBC iPlayer for free, perhaps they could afford proper commentary. Pay up or the BBC will turn into Channel 5.

WhistleHappy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Am I the only one who quite likes coming across these harmless little media/press f ** k up's? They don't really matter but they usually bring a little amusement to otherwise instantly forgotten or overlooked reports. Its the balls up's in life that get noticed, when I worked in butchers shops we sometimes (accidently on porpoise) used to put the odd poster upside down in the window..... amazing how many people came in to point out the 'mistake' and ended up buying something! (not sure how Pienaar felt last night when Lawrenson called him 'penis' on MOTD though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 .....and Sky Sports said yesterday that 'Bristol City's last seven FA Cup exits have been against premier league sides' How shoddy is that?! Crawley, Pompey, Blackburn, Watford, Cardiff (off the top of my head) all non prem teams who have knocked us out in the last seven years? In this day and age it is so easy to check facts if you work in the media... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, calm down a bit, if the Beeb stopped wasting money on minority channels and stations hardly anybody listens or views then they could actually cover sport properly.

SimplyRed Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 One of my favourite gaffs was that of whomever was subtitling on the Sky Soccer programme back in August. Stelling was reporting on an equalising goal for Man U by Memphis DePay - you can see here how the subtitler called it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've totally confused this! I got it into my head that BRR may have been bluffing me in that he didn't know I was messing about, although God knows how I came to that conclusion. I'll sign out now.
