makateer Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 http://sport.scotsman.com/football/-ExHearts-star-Driver-set.6331897.jp Quality reporting from BAnderson once again. Apparently Driver is no longer a Hearts player.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 That report is cringeworthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 To be fair to Banderson, normally the headline is done by a sub-editor, they have done this before so I think there is a Hibs fan who does this. Think before they have called Bouzid a Hibs player in the headline on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Archer Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Wow...that's pretty bad. Not really surprising though. Or maybe Banderson knows something we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Correct. Headlines aren't written by the writer who pens the article. And, by the same token, most of Banderson's articles are written on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think before they have called Bouzid a Hibs player in the headline on the website. Correct. It is quite common for the Scotsman/EEN headline on a Hearts story to be negative when the content is neutral (or at least less negative than the headline).

Ribble Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Not only is the headline wrong but the story is a pile of balls and nothing more than conjecture from Banderson! It could take years for the 4 nations to re-write the agreement and even if they did change it before Scotland play Sweden in August whats the chances of Driver actually being fit for an International??

Precisely. It smacks of him having to invent a few hundred words for todays paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjl Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Aye, folk who constantly have a pop at journos on here should at least arm themselves with a modicum of knowledge about how the industry works before ripping in. no they shouldn`t, if andersons name is credited to the article (including the headline) then until the papers start writing the headline guys name beside the headline, anderson carries the can, the pr1ck.

Rust Cohle Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I see The Sun are running a story saying Kingston never attacked the Ghana coach, with a direct quote from a Ghana FA spokesman. I take it its fair to say the Banderson lifted the original 'story' straight off here then? As far as the OP goes, why hell do these supposed hubz-supporting subs get away with either 1) blatant piss-taking or 2) huge mistakes? Its no wonder the EEN is heading down the pan, and here's hoping it takes that King Turd Tom English with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash Cloud Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Wouldnt mind if Driver showed a bit of form for his club first before thinking about his international prospects wherever they may lay tbh get yourself fit and playing well for HMFC driver the rest will surely follow .

Guess you didn't bother eading the article before laying into driver first then mate?

Col1874 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I was wondering if I had missed something on Saturday... Walking through the Almondvale centre and I pass a guy wearing a Rangers top with 'DRIVER' on the back... Perhaps it was his surname... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Because we have an abundance of pacey direct running forwards, who have a real feeling for the country they have stayed in most of their life. Was it that prat Hamish Husband by any chance.
