I had to laugh when I read the headline in the Star "Green Army Split Over Keano" and then "Fans Urge Stand to Drop Keane".
The reporter then goes on to say that about 40 fans have been engaged in debate about whether Keane should be dropped.
I don't mean any offence to anyone here but "40 fans" is not "the Green Army" and surely is not representative of the 40,000 who will attend the game and the few hundred thousand that will watch on TV.
Is this what journalism has become today?

Could that prevent them from quoting the comments, and supplying the source? :confused:

Probably not but it'd look a bit silly quoting someone called DotTV (no offense!) in the paper. :D

Copyright is assumed, though something as short as either of our posts hardly qualifies. If someone here writes a good long post on why Robbie should be dropped, or on the mating habits of the lesser spotted Fenlon, it's copyrighted by default. Saying that someone on here has been calling for Robbie to be dropped, or that Fenlon ... (I'm not going to make something up for that - could lead to mental scarring), that's not a problem.

Hardly a raging debate about Robbie.
Altogether 3 posters in that thread said Keane should be dropped.
With one of the 3 perplexingly saying that he should be replaced by Doyle.

Billy Scanlan is a lazy git and is a disgrace of a journalist. He checks this site all the time (it was him who blew the whistle on the germany tickets).

Any other of the 'neo-colonial' fourth estate looking in? I'd like to see the Daily Express headline 'Green Army Split Over Whether Keano Involved In Assasination Of Princess Diana.' :rolleyes:

Somebody said 3 guys on the thread called for Robbie to be dropped and this mong reported that the "Green Army" are split over whether he should play or not.
I know it's a tabloid snot rag but surely they can do better than that!

Yes, if my petition makes the newspaper someone tell me, it should help me get into college (assuming he does get fired) :)

Any time I get to read the rag (not very often), this site gets a mention... lazy journalism is damn right. Too lazy to do a vox pop out on the street? I know let’s scan a football website. how is he actually employed? let’s all post in Greek or something next time he’s looking for a few quotes from fans....
