A comment i expected i may have to qualify that lloydie so fair one that.
I would say yeah you would be right, and you could interchange maybe 4 other "noted" reporters names with his...to an extent.
I have defo noticed a more balanced tone recently, go back to at least his report on us v Arse, it was the only one that tallied with blues with not blue specs exactly but a half full outlook.
He at least demonstrated to me he does know the score.
The landscape is different now post ferguson much to the shame of all these reporters no doubt.
One major fact was though he hurt individuals livelihoods due to them doing no more than their job.
This inspired fear and subservience to a degree, banned reporters, refused interviews etc etc.
Now that stranglehold is gone to a massive degree it should i hope inspire objectivity more.
Looking beyond the cheap shot stuff at utd i can sense the tone or reporting changing for the better.
What i would say lloydie is if you can, swallow it and give these sods another chance, some are just rag mouth pieces but some were just spineless or forced to toe the line.
If you can't then i totally see you pov mate, i do.
Last season one freelance reporter even contacted a mod here saying this was exactly the case and if he did step out of line and got banned from ot he was fucked.
