These days I have only a mild passing interest in football and try to avoid news in general. However, I clicked onto the Telegraph Football webpage to see what’s going on. There was a bit about Man Utd fans wanting a no confidence vote in Sir Jim Radcliffe. OK. Man City to pay £60M release clause to sign Semenyo. OK. Some news about the starting lineups for the Woolwich Nomads vs. Murdering Scum Scousers. Fair enough.
But what’s this? Mini headline reads, “Coote avoids prison after child sex offence conviction”. That’s not football news. The fact Coote used to be a Premier League referee is irrelevant. I don’t want to be exposed to stories about sex pests. That shit should be on the main news section, not the football section.
Another mini-headline, “Gabby Logan replaced during Match of the Day following death of father Terry Yorath”. Terry Yorath (proper footballer) passing away is football news related. I get that part. His gargoyle daughter leaving the set of some has been BBC shit show is not news. Why do we need to know she left the set to deal with a death in the family? We don’t. Again, it’s not football news, FFS.
This kind of shit goes on all the time. On the BBC Football webpage there’ll often be references to absolute nobodies but related to a high profile club. Bit confusing. Oh wait, it’s about women’s football not proper football. Now the BBC in their infinite wisdom have these tabs/sections on their Football webpage:
– Scores & Fixtures
– Tables
– Gossip
– Transfers
– Top Scorers
– Women
– European
– All Teams
– League & Cups
– Quizzes
Now if some cunt reporter at the BBC wants to write up some crap about some nobody tart who plays for a woman’s team, take a wild fucking guess which section that “story” should be in.
Is it so unreasonable to have football news on the Football page, cricket news on the Cricket page, rugby news on the Rugby page and so on? And have the unrelated crap on the main news page where it’s more easily avoided?
