[Albion] Albion v Daily Mail FIGHT!

[Weststander]

Probably, but any apology will be in a tiny font size, buried in the bottom corner of a page somewhere........................so a bit pointless

This.

The Mail wins - it got more readers/clicks, mud stuck on their target the Albion and just 0.1% of readers find out that they apologised.

 

[Easy 10]

I know the feeling about the Mail. I count many of their football writers as friends and I rationalise not having to wash after shaking hands with them by remembering that there are only so many jobs for football writers, and not everyone can work for a paper whose political views they agree with. Look at the mismatch between the tweets of certain journos and the papers they write for as proof of that!

Martin is okay, actually. I was a little disappointed when he turned the Albion website gig down last season when I was looking for someone to talk about supporting West Ham, his reasons being that he didn't want people being reminded about his club loyalties. I thought that was a little odd because most writers are fairly transparent about who they support, but I don't think he was being a Billy Bigtime about it.

I'm in awe of all the strands he is able to pull together for his columns, or at least I was. I think the Fail demands too much of him although for the money he's on I suppose they're entitled. When he was doing a long column for the Times every Wednesday and his weekend stuff for the Screws was when he was at his best, I thought.

Interesting, thanks. He usually comes across pretty well on the Sunday Supplement I think. Strange that he didn't want to talk about West Ham - in the brain-dead comments section he's accused of being biased towards multiple clubs depending on who he's attacked that week, so it wouldn't have made much odds going into his support for the Hammers. I like that he rightly gives the owners and politicians a fearful mauling over the London Stadium fiasco whenever thats in the the news.

The bloke basically has my dream job, sounding off in print about all and sundry whilst being sent around the country and the world to cover all the biggest sporting events. I'd give my right arm for that job. Although it would then take me twice as long to write anything.

Back to the original topic, a click on the Daily Mail link to the article now takes the user elsewhere, so they've removed the article.

Sadly the nonsense still exists on another site...

Surprisingly swift, given you'd have to use your left hand.

It took me a while to find it. It wasn't under Football, it wasn't under Premier League, it wasn't even under the Premier League/Brighton section. I searched the site for "apology", but it still didn't come up, but eventually found it searching the site for "Lewis Dunk"
