Just plain weird. - Dancingwilldoit - 26-08-2019
Cribbed this link from another well known site https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2019/august/photos-chesterfield-u23s-a/
The photo's show some of our U23 team which played at Donny last week. We didnt even report it and the team was never announced. It would seem from the photo's Wedgbury, Maguire, Amantchi, Sheridan, Rawson, Wakefield, Coddington and Render played not sure who the others were. We won 2-1 but dont tell anybody, its top secret. We only promote Sheff Utd U23' team games on our CFC site.
Scunny reported the game on their site but were obviosly under instruction not to name any of our players.

There was quite a lot of justified anger on Bob's about this. If Matt is right that the club samples social media then we'll see if lessons are learnt. Few seem to be because we apparently only have one man dealing with web content, maintenance everything ...... and he relies on reports sent to him by managerial and academy staff ...... or at least that's what he told me when I complained.
A lot of clubs who pen website reports don't include the opposition names. I suppose the assumption is that other teams' players' names are as much a mystery to fans as they are to the writer ..... which by no means is the case. Scunny fans would at least have wanted to know whether their team had lost to a bunch of unknown 17 year-olds or Chesterfield players with first team experience and would have wanted to delve into the background of their own team too. It just means they are shit reporters who know little about the game and even less empathy with those who love it.
I heard a news bulletin yesterday in which Newcastle's goalscorer was announced as Joe Linton. Clearly the supposed sports reporter knew nothing about football and thought the copy he was reading from contained a typo in Joelinton and corrected it!
It seems these days that any woman with vaguely untidy hair is likely to be consigned to sports as is any chirpy, personable young man, even if his major interests are cooking and housework.
If you really know about sport don't hold your breath for a job.
