Even by the Echo's low standards, this is pretty fucking appalling.

No sense of self awareness. Horrible article. Shameful.

I wonder if ronaldo or salah had won motd's goal of the month for November, if you would still be able to find the story ?

At 22:30 last night it was their headline story to get people to vote, Rodri won it, and the story vanished completely within minutes.

Zero chance there will ever be a truly independent regulator. Someones fingers will always be in the pie.

In the apple pie

Can’t believe that, goal of the month is a big story.

WishI could say that this is unbelievable. But where that paper is involved it was probably almost inevitable

Not for November 2021 it seems.

The people responsible for this don't deserve to be in employment. I hope before too long they are all sleeping in shop doorways.

Looks like the Birmingham Mail reporter wrote the original story from a local viewpoint, she seems pretty blameless tbf
But then as they are all part of the odious Reach PLC these days, the story gets passed around.
And so the Echo’s “SEO editor” sees a chance to convert it into lucrative clickbait by giving it a Cult FC spin, blithely expecting the plastics and grief junkies to lap it up.
Karma strikes
She has now gone into hiding online, turned her accounts private



Over 500 replies quite rightly calling them out.
So do they apologise and delete the story/tweet?
Not likely. They actually double down, saying it’s “what the family wanted”

A hammers fan on the original tweet has called them out and asked them to confirm whether they will donate ad revenue to the nspcc. They need to be pressed on this

Compare and contrast with the original

oh my good god ,what a sickly fucking paper

I sure it's been repeated in many other Reach plc titles around the country. Not Birmingham obviously.
I don't think the practice of 'claiming' dead children existed at the time James Bulger was killed but an early example was the two little girls killed in Soham where the pics of them in their United shirts was shamelessly milked by the media and the rags.
Sick and tasteless by all involved but this latest one concerning with the Liverpool Echo claiming Arthur for LFC leaves a particularly nasty taste.

True but sky are having a fucking good go...every single morning it's utd or Scouse, they flood it with their content, it's like a PR channel.

I havent read what this poor lad went thought but the only picture I have seen of him in a footy shirt was a Birmingham Citu shit

This is truly disgusting from that dippers paper. It needs investigating. They is something serious wrong with the scousers attitude.

Unfortunately Rags are winning this particular "face off" at present

It's insesent Rag TV.

You vastly underestimate the will of these owners.
There will be creeping favourable appointments at the top of the football pyramid, sweeteners for fans, incremental changes to relegation and promotion.
Eventually the closed shop will be here and fans will lap it up. Not realising they've been shafted.

Never, ever underestimate the yanks and how they can manipulate anything, absolutely anything.

 

[old blue]

They p

They preferred Steve Marriott to Rod Stewart?

Not to mention Spiggy Topes.

 

[hammocity]

On Talkshite yesterday they asked Murphy for his three stand out players from the weekend:

3rd Origi
2nd Bamford
1st Fred

Shameless dipping twat didn’t even mention Bernie, it’s a shit stain of a station, clearly an agenda not to mention City now, not once were we discussed during the couple of hours I listened.
