All seems too hazy and kneejerkish.

Well if you read my tweets that night I was commenting before the game that stewards were awful, I made another comment at half time. The "they got their wish" tweet was clearly not literal FFS. However I absolutely stand by the gist of my comments (that is to say that the awful Dundalk stewarding would lead to problems sooner or later).

Ok so would you like to clarify exactly what your issues were on the night? Your own personl experience and examples, from before the game and on, not in ragarding to the accident or overcrowding which we all have now a fair idea how these may have come about.

No, as I said yesterday, I'm trying to leave it now. We'll see what FAI/clubs say

Fair enough! Though what is being investigated is what happend with the injured and how terrace fans were allowed into the stand. What happend before the game and throughout remains a mystery, But your silence speaks volumes!

All aspects of the night are being investigated (as per Pats security team). You've read my tweets apparently. I haven't been silent on this. What I'm doing now is refusing to re-hash it

To be honest I think that's most likely.

I was reply to this post

So I was pointing out that the poster's claim that the Dundalk investigation would look into "all aspects" was wrong and I asked for examples of gutter press.

I don't think a post on the LOI blog counts

What I was replying to on here though were these posts

Don't know where your coming from considering THE LOI BLOG didn't write a single article regarding the incident, all we did was send the fan in question a get well soon message.

Why do you shout THE LOI BLOG like that? I hope you do this in person too.

I'd hardly call someone that was at the game and in the stand describing what they heard and saw as gutter journalism but each to their own I suppose.

I didn't.

But now that you raise it, I would not describe what John Doyle wrote as journalism.

I posted the link in response to your earlier post which was equally inaccurate:

Christ that LOI blog is horrifically designed. Not having a cut off them, fair play for the effort, but if it was easier to navigate and looked a bit nicer they'd get far more hits.

Thanks for the feedback, nothing wrong with some fair criticism. We are currently working on a new website and have a number of web designers helping us out.

Ezekial has cleared it up.

Just on this, does that mean contributors are free to post what they like or do you or someone else hold editorial control?

For the record, I wasn't the person who brought up the LOI blog as "gutter" journalism. I asked for examples and that's what the OP provided

That's a brave allegation to make.

I know one reporter from Extratime that put mistakes in his report on purpose to see were they just copy and pasting it exact same mistakes then showed up in LOI Blogs report. They have said they have stopped doing it now.

Not going to lie mistakes were made when we started out 3 years ago but if you look at every article on the current website it's all original writing bare press releases etc. Whether you love us or hate us we do cover a lot of transfers/news that other sites sometimes don't. There is a market out there for LOI sites that needs to be filled.

I was told by 2 of yer reporters that you still use Extratimes stuff but just change the words around. especially for match reports
