News doesn’t pay anymore

801

At the start of the week our man in Poland sent me a link to the Croatian outlet who interviewed Nikica Jelavic.  I mentioned the player in an article yesterday and recalled his earlier comments, which I referenced as background information.    This ‘news’ was subsequently carried by today’s radio and print outlets in Scotland.

It’s maybe a low blow to bring out the ‘Lazy journalism’ point on the day Scotland’s formerly-largest newspaper shed journalists, although the point is perfectly illustrated, but lazy journalism always found its place in the past.  The real problem has little to do with the standard of journalism on offer, it’s about business models in the old media.  News doesn’t pay unless you can tax consumers or bundle it with paid-for football channels, which is not a good thing.

    Jabba is in DD pocket (see FF )

     

    I hope that guy wrote that with a crayon as he should not be allowed near sharp objects .

     

    I bet he is online as we speak ordering his half price strip ,could it be that ragers will have no need for rangers (oldco)strips in the near future and CW is getting what he can for them rather than putting them in the bin ..Who knows but I wonder what that guy would have to say about CW and uncle Jack

     

    if it was true and the realisation that the fans had been FLEECED by his heroes .

  8. Any chance Novo can watch some more games this year?

     

     

    What a good luck charm ;-)

     

     

    The 32-year-old quit Ibrox 18 months ago and despite an emotional attachment to the club, Novo watched the recent defeats from St Mirren and Celtic amongst the Rangers supporters, has no intention of quitting Gijon.

  10. I’m another of the Breaking Bad converts. I’d have it in my top three of all time, perhaps battling it out for the undisputed champ with the Wire and West Wing. Another series not mentioned much was Six Feet Under. Very black with quite possibly one of the most satisfying endings ever.

     

     

    And to the earlier poster who was struggling with Boardwalk, stick with it. Season two has a spectacuar denouement.

    I can here Ch5 from my vantage point, and can’t believe he is in such a crap programme, no doubt he is in there to piss them off big time, from what I know of him he takes no crap, and he will be in a house full of twats, no that I will be watching btw, but my ears will be subjected for the foreseable no doubt worst luck.

    If we were in a bad place, 2nd, I would wager all the talk would be who is coming in etc, we are in a good place, a very good place and we are going to win the league.

     

     

    Football can wait till another day, like when we drop our next points, we will draw btw, we will not lose a league game for the rest of the season, but there will be many on here bumping their gums about us not being good enough.

     

     

    I think Paul’s G.O.D. was a year or two previous but it’s happening as we speak.

     

     

    The carnage will be happening at a club on the southside sometime soon, and not a moment too soon :>)

    Ole Dermot, in such a fume the pilot of his Tarrier Carrier will be suffering from the ole Olfactory Reference Syndrome as the mustachioed counterpart of the goggle-eyed conman will be spitting feathers fore and aft at having to pay yon airport take off tax only to hear The Voice Of Authority has actually not been bagged by the rebellious Tri-Colour waving rag that is the daily vinyl.
