I know guys doing matches getting paid £70.

Once they have paid for petrol, they are probably losing money!!

I used to get £300 a game for Screws and then if you doubled up for the Monday, it was a £500 day.

Long gone are those days, eh!
Really Blue, 70 sheets? I was getting way more than that off regionals for pictures around late 90s 2000s. The world is full of greed.
 
And for the majority it's 70 quid too much for the shite they produce.

Pay peanuts…. Etc. I’m not in the industry but I know people who are and it seems from the outside like there are an elite few untouchables earning a fantastic living. And then a huge chasm to a big pool of people more or less working for nothing in a bid to get noticed and break into that elite. I’m happy to be corrected if that’s complete shite but it’s the impression I’ve got from talking to people in that game.
 
Nice, sarcastic jab at the Rags in today's Economist article about economic policy in the North of England: "Manchester has plenty of swagger. It has the best team in club football, and it is also home to Manchester United . . . " Wonder who wrote this article?

Yes sarcastic but factual wrong Manchester only has one premier league club. Manchester is not the home of utd, Trafford is.
 
Who the hell is this scrawny arse ‘bin dipper‘ Pimblett? Wants to fight
Bernardo because Bernardo made him cry. He‘s a ******* loser!

Reminds me of that dead chicken the scousers like to surround with burning candles. For some reason you can't read the comments on the article but he seems a very unpleasant character who will say anything for cheap publicity.

Why is it even published ? The twat doesn't look like he could fight his way out of a paper bag
 
Don’t Liddell & Clarkson write for the Sunday Times rather than the Times?

I don’t buy the Sunday paper (although Walsh is a legend for his cycling and athletics work), but I do read it on a Saturday and Parris, Turner and to some extent Coren are all excellent, as are some of the sex advi Weekend and Culture articles.

In terms of the Sports section the most notable feature over time is just how much of a love-in they have with egg-chasing (the southern variety of course), but football wise I wouldn’t say I’ve noticed it being particularly pro or anti City. Paul Hirst writes some decent pieces.

If Samuel does go there, hopefully he’ll appear on Times Radio now & again, which is a good listen occasionally. I used to enjoy his input on the infamous Sunday Supplement, but recently it would have to be the dreaded Talks**** with Danny Kelly if you were that bothered to hear his views.

Of course the daily mail print shite like this.

Anything to have a pop at us.

Which seems to be working for him. Not a sport I watch (although the son does so I'll ask if he's even heard of him) but you can only hope that he gets a new one ripped in his next fight and he cries for his mummy.

Hoping Bernardo's lawyers are on alert - on face value there are at least two possible courses of action.
 
Looks like a lesbian.
maybe @Phil1 can have a word.
I’m not very good with lesbians. They very rarely listen to me… :-)
My son trains at the same gym as him though so I could pass on a message.

Tbf, Paddy is a Liverpool fan and if I was a liverpool fan I’d probably want to smash Bernardo’s head in as well. It’s his hatred of scousers that’s one of the reasons we love him so much! Haha!

Scousers making threats of violence, who’d a funk it. An interview from Talksport lifted to turn into an article in the Mail, shows how piss poor this is. Anyways I’m sure Bernardo will be saying ‘Paddy who?’

He’s getting there tbf. Doing alright for himself :-)
 
Premier League with all the bits and bobs was £300.

Another ton doing it for a second paper and then £110 follow up for a Monday.

Very stressful, however.

Especially before I could use a laptop to make it easier and had to ad-lib it to copytakers!!

Your stories reminds of the story my mate told me when he worked at the Sunday times. The chief sports writer would spend his Saturdays in his office watching sky sports to write his piece for Sunday
