    Why do we need his Twitter? People should just ignore gossip until the club make an announcement. Easy.

    It is all well and good you blaming him but surley he won't have thought to himself this morning "oh, i know, I'll make some ***** up upset the applecart at BFC". More likely is that someone has told him both pieces of info and he has reported them in good faith. It remains to be seen who the one is passing the "false" stories and where from...

    Checking sources / verifying is pretty much a pre-requisite of the job.

    Parasitic scum agents again I’m afraid, probably with journo in their pockets.

    Same journo releases three tweets at same time concerning Michail Antonio, Marc Roberts and Angus Macdonald.

    All three are clients of Unique Sports Management.

    Football is royally fecked.

    Not really - the journalists here are subject to pretty strict and rigorous guidelines. See the Laura Kuenssberg/Corbyn kerfuffle from earlier today.

    One swallow does not a summer make. BBC journalism has been getting worse for years. Tory neoliberalism ********.

    I interestingly met Angus' agent on Call Lane in the early hours last month, he was a really nice guy but I suppose business is business

    The BBC was and still is a government institution set up to reflect the views and prevailing orthodoxy of the day. That's not a radical piece of observation, it's a given in the similar way Russia Today reflects Russian views. Both Tory and New Labour policy has been neo-liberal for years (Thatcher through Blair and onwards) this has been reflected in BBC reporting police for a long time. Discourse exists within a limited frame of reference. People who claim 'right and left both say we're biased' miss the point.


    In recent years there has been a further shift right in BBC reporting especially amongst it's leading reporters who have done away with 'neutrality' in it's previous sense. Leading BBC presenters current and recent - Marr, Peston, Kussenburg, O'Neill are clearly Conservative and conservative in beliefs. Head of news is an ex-Times editor.


    Other reporters are largely establishment with less strident views are still usually educated at private universities where the prevailing orthodoxy is the same. Not exactly a haven of left-wing radicalism...

    Sling enough arrows and eventually one of them will find a target.
