Hamish, the headline says: Riveting afternoon in the SPL and then if you click on the link you see it's bottom half of the SPL games which are two 1-0 wins and one 1-1 draw. Bizarre headline.:confused:

Strikes me as sarcastic, but doubt Aertel understands the concept. Will be uploading on stigonline in the near future. Here's hoping Aertel and Gareth think along similar lines. I've always wanted to annoy a national broadcaster. ;)

I think you may have misunderstood me!

I REALLY think that's a brilliant tongue-in-cheek headline.

The Scottish relegation playoff with nothing to play for is hardly riveting - there's no doubt the guy was just having a laugh!!! :)

Fair play to hiim it's kept me amused for the evening! :D

Bohs player-manager Gareth Farrelly put
his team in front after six minutes,
but it was all Longford from then on.

The midlanders cancelled out Bohs boss
Gareth Farrelly's opener on 30 minutes
when Dessie Baker's cross found Alan
Kirby, who finished from six yards.

"UPS & DOWNS WERE SETTLED IN ENGLAND" Is obviously very much incorrect so I doubt the other headline was someone having a laugh. Just struggling to make up headlines.

I think was great title as grabs your attention but when you look up the page is the same old SPL rubbish. In fact i believe there was nothing to play for in any of those games? I'm sure if those people who only have an interest in Celtic games would get the joke though...

Saw a few seconds of Rangers v Hearts today & lots of empty seats at Ibrox. Maybe they've been reading Aertel & thought the season over?

Saw that yesterday too, didn't think it was that funny. Was meant to be sarcasm on Aertel's part I'd say

They are, but the main heading on Aertel pg220 said "EL Premier/First div tables...237"

Did it? Just checked the internet version when I posted to make sure to be sure, and it linked into 236. Apologies if it said 237 elsewhere!

It said 237 earlier and they also made the mistake with Barry Curran:p :D.

Lads, I know most of us use aertel at the weekend's as a rough guide to what the scoreline might be in a game. But do you check it through the rte website or do you still do it the old fashioned way through the tele. And is not a pain in the arse to use aertel if you've got sky digital?

Really? I must have missed that! Especially since the headline was a link to League One and Two results, where promotion play-off's have yet to be played! I bow to your superior knowledge! :rolleyes:

Was there an Errotel Legends thread here somewhere? Were Drogheda not 2 up against Aston Villa, deep into the second half? Always wondered how it finished.

Aston Villa fought back to win by a goal and three points, with a drop goal from a short corner deep in injury time to put it out of reach...

They have had some howlers in the past alright.
The great think about the same content being on the web is that you can show everyone the mistakes.

But we won the return leg with a stunning break of 147 using only nine darts in the third quarter at the Lourdes stadium.

'facile victory' for us tonight according to aertel - a bit judgmental, no? what next 'cork in superficial win, , 'mannered performance from affected drogs'

Facile means easy - slightly more quantifiable than "superficial"!

fac�ile P Pronunciation Key (fsl)
adj.
Done or achieved with little effort or difficulty; easy. See Synonyms at easy.
Working, acting, or speaking with effortless ease and fluency.
Arrived at without due care, effort, or examination; superficial: proposed a facile solution to a complex problem.
Readily manifested, together with an aura of insincerity and lack of depth: a facile slogan devised by politicians.
Archaic. Pleasingly mild, as in disposition or manner.

I know it means easy, but I think the 3rd and 4th sense given above are the dominant ones in modern usage, which is why i found the headline funny; we don't chant 'facile, facile' after the 3rd goal goes in, do we?

I don't think the fact that you consider "easy" a secondary meaning takes away from the fact that that's clearly the meaning Aertel had when writing the headline.

People also don't chant "Simple, simple" - does that mean simple doesn't equate to easy?
