Sub Editors caused more trouble in my 30-odd years at the Word and Picture factories that I inhabited, than any other department. Teflon springs to mind :-).

Haha, ain't that the truth!

Dropped me right in the shit with many a manager down the years.

Usually some frustrated writer on shift who then went missing for another week!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yep, and the online world means it’s all about SEO and clickbait nowadays
I was a sub for a while in the print days and it was fascinating, designing pages, editing copy and then finding a perfect headline within very strict space and word count constraints
And you wouldn’t believe the absolute state of the illiterate gibberish turned in by certain well known journalists on huge salaries
Sometimes what they turned in looked like the result of an epileptic baboon shitting all over the keyboard then rolling about in it

You subbed Harry Harris copy, didn't you?

Haha subs would say exactly the same about reporters.
I’ve been both so have no skin in the game

Harry Harris

His Mancini book is required reading, it was excellent.

Can't write for shit, always a standing joke in the offices how he couldn't use punctuation or spell anything correctly.

I believe it's pretty common for the headline to be written by someone else, but no guarantee on this occasion of course.

Just saying I wouldn't hold that part against him. If the rest is vindictive shite then fair enough, but I'm not reading it to find out. :)

Herbert I think is just clueless more than anything.

Ian Herbert is an award-winning sports journalist and author, and the Deputy Chief Sportswriter of the Daily Mail. He is the author of Quiet Genius, the critically acclaimed biography of the multiple European Cup-winning former Liverpool manager Bob Paisley. It was shortlisted for the 2017 William Hill Sports Book of the Year award. Herbert was born in North Wales and is a life-long Wrexham fan.

I bet Herbert’s never wrote about the current owners of Wrexham, and how their wealth and money has BOUGHT Wrexham success.

Have a look into this, you tw@t, Herbert!

sounds like someone whose name might rhyme with Ron Dross…

 

[Damanino]

the tainted success of Villa and Chelsea will dominate the paper in next few months.
right?

Missed back pages tonight on ssn I'd guess they couldn't shut them up about cheating Chelsea n villa

 

[blueju]

I’ll bet Partey is well jel of the amount of headlines ‘Manchester City player’ Benjamin Mendy and his dangerous liaisons contributed to the daily news. Partey is just playing at it with a couple of little snippets hidden way down the pages.

The back pages will surely be dominated by questions about the ethics of Arsenal continuing to play him when every man and his dog, even me, knew he was the Premier League player facing serious investigations, and I’m sure the happy coincidence of charges being brought only when his contract was completed will be picked over for weeks

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

As a werewolf myself I find that comment hurtful and offensive.

I used to think I was a werewolf. But I'm alright nowooooooo!

 

[Asa's left peg]

There is an article on the bbc site re Chelsea and Villa fines, with no mention of us!! I know it's a little different (PL v EUFA), but it's never stopped them in the past.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

On top of the rags having already ruined the reputation of Manchester (Trafford) by failing ffp it's 'a stain on the game'.

Think I’m in the wrong profession then and might need to take up journalism and book writing ;)

 

[stonerblue]

Whenever I hear the word werewolf, I immediately think of the pleasent Jenny View attachment 161834or alternatively, a scene from one of the greatest films of all time

Pudding, chips and peas. Proper fit in American werewolf

No matter how hard I try, I still can't get Miguel Delaney to rhyme with Ron Dross.
