    Just read sporting life live table report and apprently, Michael Mossto could have won it in the last minute for us!!!! Didn't know Miguel had any relatives over here and it doesn't remotely sound like Grant McCann. Don't you think this is getting beyond a joke, at least sloppy journalism and at most a blatant lack of respect for us - as per usual. Wasn't it only a few weeks ago that Nigel Davey nearly scored a winner for us? If it wasn't so laughable I might take offence.</p>

    Yorkshire Sport Calls Him Michael As Well

    You would think they could get it right.

    It's obviously from a central report that they all pick up

    BBC website said same, probably someone misheard Miguel as Michael on the phone.

    It's absolutely, completely and utterly appalling

    There is simply no excuse for getting players' names wrong.

    Journalists get teamsheets before tha games and spell out any unusual names to the person on the end of the phone, so whether it's the journos or they typists it goes wrong somewhere and it's rubbish.

    I used to report on university games where I didn't know any of the players yet always spelt their names right - I made sure of it.

    I'vebeen banging on abart this since God knows when, but it makes no diffrence.</p>

    We are an unfashionable Club.</p>

    They prefer their tabloid 'stereotypical views' to any honest, accurate and incisive reporting.</p>

    </p>

    Apparently, we just have to 'Get used to it!'</p>

    </p>

    Oh aye! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: </p>
