ramboacdc Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 that is one terribly written article. even from the point of football journalism it was bouncing everywhere in short sentences and passing opinions.
easilee Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 whilst reading, try to imagine it in a cockney accent. Explains everything.
tewkesbury-fox Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Ditto on everything written in this thread,shocking piece only just swapped over to this shitty paper now the excellent sports section in the NOW is now defunct...i shall use todays addition to wipe my arse.
Spencer Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Michael Calvin wrote the article. Funniest thing is, after completely slating Wellens he then gave him MOTM with 8/10.. Fernandes got 6/10.. Quality journo.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 How do you tweet someone?! I only joined it last night. Ive found his profile and am now following him, just can't find where to write to him..
Webbo Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Michael Calvin wrote the article. Funniest thing is, after completely slating Wellens he then gave him MOTM with 8/10.. Fernandes got 6/10.. Quality journo. He didn't slate Wellens. He said; Wellens was, with ominous predictability, the game’s pivotal figure. ie.It was predictable that Wellens would be the pivotal figure in the game. It was a compliment if anything. Haven't we got anything better to do than tweet newspapers because they give our team a less than glowing report?

Its not the fact that the report wasn't 'glowing' it was wrong! Did you read last weeks saying that we'd suffererd a 'real-ity check' at the hands of Madrid?? Think I've sussed out how to message him now. Told him I think he should send his journalists to the games
eaststandtom Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 the press this week have shown their stance on city. they are willing us to fail. have seen various articles saying there will be unrest because of the signings and that sven is an avergae championship manager etc etc also that city were lucky yesterday. all bollocks. city were the better team yesterday with the ball. they showed cov how to pass and move
HEGGSY Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 If you read the actual paper in the march report there was a little bubble with the words DAVID peltier turns away after giving Leicester the lead, can't even get the scorers name right
HEGGSY Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Just been reading on his website that he has won sports writer of the year twice http://www.michaelcalvin.com/biography/
CosbehFox Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 It angers me that some absolute prat is getting paid for that when there are so many interesting and informative bloggers out there who could do a billion times better. Spot on. I wouldn't abuse the journalist, just ask him if he's proud of that article. Did he imagine writing such awful claptrap as a young lad? It's poorly researched and full of needless stick. Very surprised his editor allowed him to get away with it.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 DanSilverMirrorDan Silver Just catching up with Tweets for fist time today. Can I just say I didn't write ANY match reports yesterday. Not sure why my name is on one
John Matrix Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 DanSilverMirrorDan Silver Just catching up with Tweets for fist time today. Can I just say I didn't write ANY match reports yesterday. Not sure why my name is on one shoddy paper never liked the mirror anyway
Dan Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Worst article I've ever read. Full of shit, nothing but an attempt at winding up our fans. Well done, I'm never gonna buy the paper in my life and I hope all LCFC follow suit. Just to piss them off. Cvnts.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 We're going to piss people off with our approach. I hope we don't react every single time this happens.
MrBojangly Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 I'm not sure what the fuss is about myself. Some of what is written is a bit petty and not particularly amusing, other elements seem quite accurate. It's not a news article, it's a review of a football match - like a film review or an album review. Other opinions are available. It shouldn't make anyone angry
saabrian Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 I don't really know what this article is, looks like a half time, but has post-match comments and it says published at 10pm, but what I do know is that it looks to have been written by the biggest cvnt to ever write an article, perhaps he's a Cov fan? "Sven, the old rascal, got lucky yet again." http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/match-centre/Coventry-City-0-0-Leicester-City-Sunday-Mirror-match-report-Lee-Peltier-gets-lucky-Sven-Goran-Eriksson-a-winning-start-after-Darius-Vassell-and-Carl-Baker-sent-off-article782315.html When someone gets lucky time and time and time again, maybe it's not luck. But if so... "I'd rather be lucky than good." -Lefty Gomez

It shouldn't make anyone angry Your so right we all have our own opinions. But they could at least get the fvcking score correct. I for one will never buy the paper again. The sports editor shoul be sacked for that and an appology should be published. That is a deluded one sided thought about our club. Not a report on a game.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Those kids who insist on doing the Poznan, are making our club look ridiculously stupid.
I am Rod Hull Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Those kids who insist on doing the Poznan, are making our club look ridiculously stupid. Just like the Man City fans....

vanfox12 Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Unfortunately i buy the mirror so i suppose that makes me a leftie scumbag then.
John Matrix Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Unfortunately i buy the mirror so i suppose that makes me a leftie scumbag then. no it makes you an ignoramus who inhabits the lowest common denominator of society (now the notw has gone) and to the guy who said the article wasn't that bad..they got the score wrong, the pictures call him david peltier, he goes overboard insulting vassell and has pathetic digs at sven. what sort of journalism is that.
B52 Posted 7 August 2011 Posted 7 August 2011 Unfortunately i buy the mirror so i suppose that makes me a leftie scumbag then. Sorry, a journalist writing in that manor isn't on the left side.....
