Danno Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 It's no excuse to use an image of a person who hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing. Basic journalism. Not really, when you don't know who Matty James or Tom Hopper are it's not that hard to make a mistake since they don't look very different.

the zorro Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Not really, when you don't know who Matty James or Tom Hopper are it's not that hard to make a mistake since they don't look very different. Seriously? If Matty James wants to pursue it, I'm pretty sure his lawyers will have a field day.

the zorro Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 No they really won't though will they. Please explain. They've used an image of a person not relevant to this story at all. If you think it's acceptable for a journalist to stick a name into Google and report it as fact, you need your head testing.
HitchinFox Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 It's no excuse to use an image of a person who hasn't been implicated in any wrongdoing. Basic journalism. Quite. My educated guess - as I work in the industry - is that there are some Getty images of Matty that are carrying the wrong tags...

If you think it's acceptable for a journalist to stick a name into Google and report it as fact, you need your head testing. Yeah i'm sure his lawyers are gonna have a field day when Matty James has not been mentioned anywhere in the article and they have got the image from Getty Images where the clubs official photographer has captioned the photo as Tom Hopper.
Babylon Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Don't know if what I've seen is the full thing but most of it seems to be coming from Hopper. Much of it was off camera but seemed to be the same voice. Don't see him surviving it, but I'm not sure the others should be treated as harshly if that's the case.
Brooksy Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 I've emailed the Mirror to tell them and asked how they could make such a basic error. I won't hold my breath for a reply. I also believe that Matty James would have a pretty solid case against them on grounds of defamation. That's understandable to be fair. My comment was aimed at the Twitter morons

That is not Matty James' fault. It's still defamatory. It doesn't matter that he isn't named, they've used his image.
Danno Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 That is not Matty James' fault. It's still defamatory. It doesn't matter that he isn't named, they've used his image. It's really not though.
Matt Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Not really, when you don't know who Matty James or Tom Hopper are it's not that hard to make a mistake since they don't look very different. Now if they weren't caucasian that'd be racist.
Danno Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 Now if they weren't caucasian that'd be racist.No it really wouldn't you muppet.
Soar Fox Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 No it really wouldn't you muppet. You seem very angry and sarcastic recently Dan. Everything ok buddy?
21st Century Fox Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 The accusation of racism has a huge irony in the sense that they were prepared to have sex with people of a different race. I forgot we had a resident expert on racism to weigh in on this matter. http://thegreenarrow.proboards.com/user/743
Harry - LCFC Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 No it really wouldn't you muppet. There definitely would be people out there thinking it is.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 You seem very angry and sarcastic recently Dan. ? It's called being a cvnt
Renart Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 I have been away in Ireland for the last 5 days and out of radio contact, would anyone like to summarize what the general opinion is in this thread as it is far too long to read in one sitting. My view of the situation without knowing too much is that the three in question should be sacked immediately. Is that close to the general consensus?

My view of the situation without knowing too much is that the three in question should be sacked immediately. Is that close to the general consensus? Most people are disgusted by the racism, misogyny, and not too impressed that they filmed it and sent it back home... a minority have their head in the sand.

Is that close to the general consensus? some people tried to make light of this terrible situation and were quite rightly given hefty bans from the forum for bringing it into disrepute.

NewburyFox Posted 1 June 2015 Posted 1 June 2015 It's really not though. Except it is defamatory. They've used his image and implicated him in a story about a racist orgy which he had nothing to do with. It's not rocket science. They've changed it now.

They've changed it now. it's an innocent mistake a journalist mistake has used because he doesn't know what matty james or tom hopper looks like. He's not going to get taken to the cleaners by james' lawyers is he.
