syston_fox Posted 12 August 2006 Share Posted 12 August 2006 Not only is there a nice little article about how the odds on Rob Kelly being the first manager sacked have been slashed from 20/1 to 10/1, I also noticed this gem about todays game: Leicester v Ipswich team news: Matt Piper could play his last game for Leicester before a possible £2.5million move to Sunderland but Andy Impey will miss out with a knee injury. Can't wait to see mondays match report in there to see which other old boys supposedly played for us in todays match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted 12 August 2006 Share Posted 12 August 2006 Wasn't that the report before this game... Leicester City suffered their first defeat of the season at Portman Road when they crashed 6-1 to George Burley's Ipswich Town.Matt Holland gave the home team the lead in first half injury time but his strike was immediately cancelled out by a 25-yard drive from Jon Stevenson that evaded Andy Marshall in the Ipswich goal. Holland's second goal came after 12 minutes of the second half when he crashed a shot home from 8-yards. But City came back, and Brian Deane was close to levelling the score again after 61 minutes when Marshall failed to get anywhere near a high ball and the City striker looped a header goalwards only to see it fall on the roof of the net. Ipswich struck again on 69 minutes when a good cross picked out Darren Ambrose whose solid header made no mistake for 3-1 to the home team. Finidi George made it 4-1 with a low cross shot before Pablo Caunago added two goals to complete City's misery. City had made a very bright start to the match before a string of injuries saw their shape and their challenge disrupted. Dickov's low shot from distance after 3 minutes was comfortably gathered by Marshall. Deane was next to try his luck from distance, with Marshall this time watching the City strikers 25-yard effort go just wide of his right hand post. Then after 10 minutes it was Izzet's turn to try his luck as he rampaged forward on the break. His well struck effort was saved by Marshall high and to his right. Ipswich also carried a treat at this point but failed to test Walker. It was Izzet again after 14 minutes who almost gave City the lead. City's Turkish internatinal stole in behind the Ipswich defence and hit a good low shot from 12-yards that Marshall did well to turn behind for a corner. A worrying blow for City came after 18 minutes when Gerry Taggart had to leave the field to be replaced by Jon Ashton. Then almost immediately Ipswich should have gone in front, but Darren Bent missed the chance made by Marcus Stewart when it looked easier to score. City had another escape after 22 minutes when Ashton clearly handled in the box and referee Peter Walton pointed to the spot. Up stepped Marcus Stewart - but his shot was brilliantly saved by Ian Walker who gathered the ball on the goal line after blocking the initial strike. City went straight back on to the attack and James Scowcroft hit the underside of the bar from 22-yards with Marshall beaten but the ball rebounded safely. The Foxes had a second injury blow after 33 minutes when Izzet limped off to be replaced by Stefan Oakes. City's third substitution was made with eight minutes of the half remaining after Summerbee limped away and was replaced by Jon Stevenson. Then on the stroke of half-time Walker produced a stunning save to deny Hreidarsson who met the ball at the far post with a powerful header. All this action came before the two goals - one each of which fell to either side in the three minutes added on by the referee. So City have sustained their first defeat of the campaign to one of their promotion rivals. And the big worry will be just how serious the injuries sustained by Izzet, Taggart and Summerbee are.

Perhaps that's why some young people vote Labour. It's the only way people who'd write that would pass an exam. What makes it even worse is that newspapers have sub editors to look out for gaffes like that, so what the hell were they doing?. Unless, of course, it was all a caper by a guy who's leaving, which isn't unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone old enough to be working at all, let alone working as a journalist would have had to have been educated mostly or at least a great part under a tory government. But of course this would not fit in with a tendentious view on politics. So as they say " never let the facts get in the way of a good story" How old would you guess the editors /sub editors to be? 25-35 maybe at a rough estimate ? which probably means them leaving school / college circa .................1987 -1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of Thracian's best arguments, but certainly one of the funniest over the last 48 hours. What will be coming up next pray tell? Defensive formations being the brainchild of the Socialist Workers Party? Communists responsible for Porter being substituted off before the end of the game? I wait with baited...

Not long ago an acquaintance of mine took payment for completing substantial course work on behalf of a group of foreign students wishing to gain accountancy qualifications, so he said. I don't suppose for a minute this was an isolated incident and if exams are set up in such a way and are so open to abuse then what is the point of having them?

You're beginning to sound like Ultra - always someone else's fault.

Nah... never ! This coming from a Tory voter i should add, most politicans wind up as crooks in the end, best to give them as little say as possible and just let people get on with their lives.

I just thought linking poor journalism to voting for Labour was quite a ridiculous one, and had the rather major flaw which MacBeth/Golden Graham pointed out. Then to back it up, as it were, with one incident of corruption of your acquaintance lead to my reply. Never said that you'd condone such corruption under the Tories, my point was that it happens with all parties and this really voided your link early. I do find it amusing though that I'm being compared to Ultra after my one even remotely serious (remotely being a very key word) response to a post by yourself. Anyway, I'm ending it here, I can't be bothered to argue this point back and forth, it'll just end up going in circles and I'll get bored very easily after each point is repeated numerous times by the both of us. Lets just laugh at the reporting. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always in favour of coursework, it being a better respresentation of the kind of work people would have to do in the world of work. But now it is so easy to find essays online, and more and more people offering these services where is the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
