Yorkshire Blue Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 Andy King took his goal tally for the season to 13 with a double against Barnsley as Leicester won 4-1 to maintain their Championship charge. Paul Gallacher marked his 50th Football League start with a superb 30-yard strike to give Leicester the lead after 15 minutes at the Walkers Stadium. Wales international midfielder King made it 2-0 two minutes before half-time but Jacob Mellis scored in first-half injury time to give Barnsleyhope going into the break. King restored the two-goal cushion just before the hour mark before Kyle Naughton completed the scoring with another long-range cracker in the final minute. It secured a fifth win in six league matches for Sven-Goran Eriksson's side, who are up to eighth in the table and three points shy of the play-off positions. After a quiet start to the game, Gallacher brought the Walkers Stadium to its feet with a magnificent right-foot shot into the top corner from Richie Wellens' pass. Wellens was involved again when King doubled Leicester's lead in the 43rd minute. He gave the ball to Ayegbeni Yakubu, who laid it off to King and he beat Barnsley keeper Luke Steele at the second attempt. Barnsley had the ball in the net immediately afterwards, but the effort was ruled out for offside. However, Mellis did get them back into the game when his shot from the edge of the area found the bottom corner. Gallacher and Wellens threatened before King scored his second goal of the game - a low, 18-yard drive after 58 minutes. Garry O'Connor shot wide for Barnsley midway through the second half in a rare attack from the south Yorkshire side. Steele produced two fine saves late on, palming away shots from Yakubu and substitute Matt Oakley. But he was beaten for a fourth time in the 89th minute when Naughton let fly from 30 yards out. http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3284317,00.html How can they write an article and spell the same players name wrong so many times?

It annoys me, and most know how pedantic I can be! But the first time they spell it, if they think they're spelling it right, they're bound to make the same mistake!
Yorkshire Blue Posted 5 February 2011 Author Posted 5 February 2011 Yeah true, but surely they employ people to proof read articles before uploading/publishing them The writer should surely know how to spell the players names, its his job. Especially if he/she is going to make a special point about an individual.
Bugg Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 Because Gallacher is a common way of spelling that surname. Not that bad an error really.
Yorkshire Blue Posted 5 February 2011 Author Posted 5 February 2011 Because Gallacher is a common way of spelling that surname. Not that bad an error really. The commonality of the name is irrelevant. I know it doesn't matter but it's just slightly annoying when people can't do their job.
Phube Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 Because Gallacher is a common way of spelling that surname. Not that bad an error really. I don't know one Gallagher spelt with a 'C' ?
Jimothy Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 I don't know one Gallagher spelt with a 'C' ? Wasn't the former Blackburn and Newcastle striker Kevin's name spelt with a "c".
Bugg Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 There's also that scottish goalkeeper called Paul Gallacher.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 I don't know one Gallagher spelt with a 'C' ? What Phube said.
Bugg Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 I don't know one Gallagher spelt with a 'C' ? Kirsty Gallacher?
Webbo Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 I don't know one Gallagher spelt with a 'C' ? Kirsty Gallacher? Why do people worry about this sort of thing anyhow?
Bugg Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 Kirsty Gallacher? Why do people worry about this sort of thing anyhow? Great minds think alike Webbo.
Kitchandro Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 It annoys me, and most know how pedantic I can be! But the first time they spell it, if they think they're spelling it right, they're bound to make the same mistake! Yeh but they spell it right the second time, then go on to spell it wrong again!
Kitchandro Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 My bad I read it wrong, they don't spell it right once
Kingylcfc Posted 5 February 2011 Posted 5 February 2011 but gallagher is his name not gallacher... they also sometimes on either skysports or bbc write Yuki Abi instead of Yuki Abe
