Stringer article on BBC

[HighPeakFox]

So annoying that he's managed to make it about him. And the errors that BBC Sport let through are pathetic - Mahrez scored the 2nd at Man City.

Does that suggest we had our Christmas party in late February or did we actually plan to go twice?

**** Ian Stringer, willy puller!

I went for a walk at 7am on that Monday morning with my two-month-old son. He was strapped to my chest, allowing me to contemplate my options.

 

😂😂😂 Sounds completely untrue 

 

Such is the geography of our city, the bathing room has a view of the King Power Stadium.

 

Its not geography that a building has a room facing towards a location. 

 

That night at the Bridge, the Chelsea fans were singing Ranieri's name. "Do it for Claudio" one screamed in the stands next to me. I heard him and it made my nose tickle. I thought of Oliver, my little boy who was going to be forced to support his local team. It's how it works in cities like ours, to stop the youth being lost to the 'big clubs'.

 

😂😂😂 Nose tickle?!?

 

Pre-match, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was like an expectant father, pacing the corridors. This time, his waiting room was a small technical area in a west London football stadium, where no visitors were allowed. He was alone.

 

Continues the weird fetish surrounding babies being delivered 

 

 

There were tears cleaning the London dust off my shoes.

 

😂😂

Read the first three  paragraphs and wondered if I was on the Wikipedia entry for him.

What a dreadful article by a dreadful human being

"This was the year our city was more than just crisps." 

 

What an absolute bell

Furious. Can't believe he forgot jumpers and being Forest's biggest rivals.

[Corky]

"One day, kid, I'll tell you a football story you'll never have thought was possible."

 

Sounds like a line from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

...so the FT faithful aren't the biggest Stringer fans, then?

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Can see what he’s trying to do in this piece but unfortunately it just shows that he’s not a writer. Most BBC Local Radio reporters will have been to university and studied a journalism course that requires them to do written pieces as well as broadcast pieces as part of their training.

 

Stringer’s the work experience kid come good and, when he’s trying to turn his hand to writing pieces, it shows. 

[Stinkenzo]

He's so full of himself he should try out on the Apprentice

[Countryfox]

He aint that bad ..

 

And he supports the same team as me ..

Still wouldn't allow him near my kids

It reads just like an Alan Partridge book. The man is clearly a comedy genius.

[foxer]

Hahaha the poor bloke.

[Finnegan]

**** 

[ozleicester]

Meh... i enjoyed it

[StanSP]

the hell did I just read?!

[somebum]

Beeb journalists are simply dumbed down PR machines trained to say the right things and love the right people, Stringer is certainly no exception to that rule. Look at the Chief BBC sport correspondent, Phil McNumpty.

[lcfcdotell]

He’s an idiot 

[David Hankey]

Stringer ought to make way for new blood.

[foxile5]

Ham fisted attempt at metaphor and symbolism. 

[Wolfox]

It wasn’t good, but, neither was it entirely awful…. Some nice bits mixed with truly diabolical bits! The champagne cork was a nice metaphor I thought…

 

He’s a bit of a clown, but, he’s a genuine fan and his heart is in the right place…

 

To get on this game you have to be a bit of a self promoter and he’s not afraid to do that!

You sound surprised about that!
