This guy is causing something bad to happen in CCFC, IMO.
Journalists are part of a professional and moral movement worldwide. They often take risks to expose unpleasant truths. They draw criticism and often worse for saying things that some people do not want to hear.
But they do have a role in telling the truth.
Sometimes, for reasons of career advancement, or vindictiveness, or maybe the need to massage their own egos, journalists do not behave professionally.
Tonight on RedFM, Spillane's performance as a journalist was disgraceful, speculating about Dolan's future as though the manager was facing the sack.
Unless CCFC staff and players post in this forum, none of us really knows what is going on in the club. Even if we speak directly with people there, we are hearing stuff from their persective only, so we could not know the full picture.
Remember, whatever we read in the papers or hear in recorded interviews has to be taken with a pinch of salt. I have seen many examples of news stories distorted and sexed up in order to sensationalise a story, to sell more copies of the papers.
Whatever is going on behind the scenes at Turners Cross, let us not allow ourselves be dragged down by the type of journalism standards which dominate the tabloid press in the UK, where newspaper editors can have huge influence over the careers of soccer club managers and the decisions they take.
