Years ago, I knew a 'reputable' sports reporter (City fan as it happened) who told me he used to get paid for several match reports/ background pieces on a Monday, writing under assumed names & all he did was read a selection of Sunday papers & write each report based on that. So he got paid for writing about games he had never seen.

They were talking about how they watch football very differently when they aren't working. Basically when they are working they are trying to write the report on the match. They will have a narrative in mind and then will spend the match redrafting what they have done. In particular the second half of matches are spent concentrating more on their report than the actual gameCan u expand on this please ?..esp the matches they are reporting on...but dont watch..

No, no. This was a veteran who was at his peak in the 60s 70s 80s. He also brokered some huge deals involving big figures in the game & his cut was a lot of money, even back then.
It opened my eyes to what a bunch of dogicants they are, as he was technically one of the 'good guys'.

When you say dogicants, are you refering to Roy Keane by any chance ?

Unfortunately, no. But it works.
I was trying to find a way of quickly typing one word for dodgy c.unts which would get past the censors, but I missed.

Not really answering your question but ...
Jamie Jackson's report on the Roma v City CL game a few years back when we needed to win to progress and did so 2-0 bore absolutely zero resemblance to the game that I saw. It was almost as if he'd written it before the game was even played!

Watching her on Sunday supplement used to make me seethe. She speaks in broad cliches and knows nothing of the intricacies of the game nor the pre PL era yet she used to hold court on the show tearing the great Arsene Wenger to shreds

I loved the documentary that covered THAT 3-2 victory from the journalists angle, when the lad from Manchester said he had to literally rewrite the story 3 times in five minutes.They were talking about how they watch football very differently when they aren't working.

Dogicants? Rogue spell checker, made up or simply a great word?

It was supposed to be dodgicants. A gentleman's way of describing dodgy c.unts.
