QuoteI wouldn't be too critical. When you attend a match you don't get to see close-ups and replays, and if you're handed a teamsheet with Meyler on it you're going to assume the kid who looks like Meyler is him.
No. They're lazy, incompetent and getting paid.Originally Posted by AlaskaFox

I'm critical for a reason. These kind of mistakes are common to much of today's journalism which is astounding when one considers the vast quantity of information that is readily available nowadays. However, I'll accept your point.
Depends on the paper as well. I wouldn't criticise the NOTW guys too much - they work like dogs and do the Lord's work. I do get mad when I see errors in the Irish Times or the Guardian though.
LOL! You know the press can sit in a booth with TVs that they can even rewind right? At most places they --get ready----even have their own little TV.
Welcome to the 1980s Charles. Do you really think scribes are still with pencil's in their ears and fedora hats rushing to the pay phone to call in reports like in Airplane? A bit has changed since the days of covering Secretariat dude. Come on.
They dont see close ups and replays. LMFAO. I think they use smoke signals too and they definitely don't have smart phones, prefering the Gordon Gekko models.

No, but I have worked for newspapers and I know that match reports go online within minutes of the match finishing...
Light training (possibly) within a month. Great news.
thats some serious sarcasm right there. And I thought Yanks didnt do sarcasm.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
It's irony they don't do, not sarcasm.

Recently, scientists in Britain determined how the brain interprets sarcasm, and plan to export the technology to Germany and other sarcastically impoverished nations. It is still patent pending however, though experts say this will be a formality, as a breakthrough regarding the brain's interpretation of irony - in all its forms, is imminent. The new coalition government believes that this will increase Britain's exports to America by some 200%. Various American think-tanks have expressed delight at the news, though sources indicate a deep lament that the breakthrough did not happen during the previous presidency.
The research project also includes many Irish scientists, some of whom have indicated a desire to return home. (Though this is said to be dependent on the results of next year's election)

"The only ironic thing about that song is that it's called 'Ironic', and it's written by a woman who doesn't know what irony is, which is also quite ironic."

After a false start, this is the one we've been waiting for. Meyler poised to take part in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Leeds on Tuesday.
DAVID MEYLER is set to figure in a behind-closed-doors friendly next week – just five months after suffering potentially career-threatening knee ligament damage.
Meyler was stretchered off against Manchester United in Sunderland’s final home game of last season in May, and scans showed he suffered the worst kind of cruciate ligament injury.
The midfielder is still not expected to return to first-team football until the New Year, but his rapid progress during his rehabilitation is a massive boost for Sunderland and boss Steve Bruce.

Injuries like this just go to show how precarious the career of a professional footballer can be (even these days)
Jaysus, I just hope they are not rushing this kid back too soon. It could destroy his career. I have high hopes he will go on to be a stalwart for Ireland for years to come.
Always look on the bright side of life
Ridiculously unlucky timing for him given the break Green was afforded since.. Hope he picks up where he left off!!!
I also hope they are not rushing him back from what is described in that article as "The worst kind of ACL injury."
Dr Peepee, what's your medical diagnosis?

To be fair to Doc, he is more into the science of forensics
http://www.safc.com/news/20101026/me...256213_2197415Sunderland chief Steve Bruce has praised David Meyler's "staggering" recovery after the midfielder returned to full training.
Meyler, 21, sustained cruciate ligament damage during Sunderland's final home game of the 2009-10 season against Manchester United in May.
The Eire under-21 international has spent six months out and defied all expectations with the speed of his recovery.
But his hard work has paid off and the ultra-fit midfielder is back out on the training ground taking part in full sessions with his team-mates.
"It's staggering to see David back training with us now when you consider the extent of his injury," said Bruce.
"It's really nice to see him and it's incredible when you think that he has been out for almost six months but has only missed nine league games."
He added: "If anyone was going to come back ahead of schedule it would be David, due to the way he applies himself and his determination.
"He's worked around the clock to get himself back in good physical condition."
And Bruce is hoping to have his young charge back in action as soon as next week, as he revealed:
"The reserves have a home game against Liverpool next Tuesday and I would expect he will take part."
Incredible stuff.And Bruce is hoping to have his young charge back in action as soon as next week, as he revealed:

I can remember the same man saying the injury was about as bad as it could be around the time it happened. Hopefully there are no complications or setbacks now. Rate this guy very highly.
