Why do local journos seem to want us to fail?

    This isn't written with a chip on my shoulder, honest.

    But I can't help but get the feeling that journalists at the Star, Radio Dee Dar and more are completely stirring the pot when it comes to our transfer dealings.

    Whether it's 'liking' posts on twitter regarding outgoings, hosting radio call in shows skewed against any Barnsley fan who calls in or failing to mention any of our potential incomings.

    I've seen a **** load of speculation on twitter from local journos about Hourihane, Bree, Winnall, Roberts or Macdonald but nothing regarding Bogle, Jones, Mallan or whoever. It stinks.

    The cnuts.

    That's what prompted this to be honest. It's like he can't wait for him to go.

    Because they are sheffield based and hate to see us doing better than their beloved clubs are, anything they can do to trip us up

    Radio Pig are the same with Rotherham, they tout their players to Wednesday all the time via their interviews. Hecky's reply to them was brilliant the other day with regards to only hearing about Hourihane to Wednesday from them.

    South Yorkshire footballs been ***** in recent history to be honest, only a couple of season's in the Prem for Sheff U in 15 odd years. They're craving a prem team so they can report from the greatest stadiums in the country, Wednesday are their greatest hope.

    Football gossip + page visits = revenue. Clickety Click!

    Although clearly gossip the other way is fine ;)

    They are snakes and our club and fans should have nothing to do with them. Because they "engage" with the club and fans it makes their biased sh*t stirring seem more valid its basic manipulation and it stinks.

    We haven't had a fair deal from them since the Colchester fan Houghton worked for them.

    Yep, click bait. People don't want to pay for news anymore meaning its lowest common denominator journalism
