Ironically they seem to prove the point by making such a trivial matter a piece of headline news.

Perhaps they could have questioned what the hell it has to do with a Yeovil fan and if we need to question the mob culture that exists in society, or perhaps the stigma attached by sections of society towards men who have been cleared of rape?

Exactly.
 
Close shave for me, as I saw that tweet and replied. Nothing offense merely pointing out she couldn't call him a rapist. Funny the article doesn't quote her tweet which actually said words to the effect of "Lost of respect for Sheffield United for signing a convicted rapist"
 



Today's headline in the 'Somerset Live':

"Much excitement as Channel 4 announce plans to begin broadcasting in local areas next year"

Big news breaking down there.....
 
Aw, bless.

Trouble is, Yeovil is the most irrelevant place on earth. Small farming village, kept alive by the nearby Naval Air Station, itself eternally under the threat of closure due to its own irrelevance. The Naval Air Station has been instrumental in many ways of diluting the local genetic stock and reducing retardation and 17lb babies. Sailors (or more correctly WAFUs - they aren't 'real' sailors) have for years gotten mightily pissed on the local cider variant and ended up in the hay (literally) with some local Hobbit and contributes to better chromosomic variance to stop the locals breeding large-footed goblins, mic-macs and sheep/human hybrids. It's somewhere that, unless you're touching cloth, you'll happily speed through for fear of being stared at in the vast metallic chariot of noise which most call a 'car'. It is also somewhere that although their football team was once moderately successful, the fans have run out of turnips to trade for season tickets at Huish Field. Huish is elven for 'udder'.

Dirty bunch of inbreds.

I once walked past an A-frame advertising the Barnsley Chronicle and the headline was "drunk Barnsley man punches car".

This IS news to these people.

Brilliant pommpey :D
 
Problem with bloody Somerset it only wakes up when the cricket season starts. I quick google of football clubs in Somerset gives a massive derby between Clevedon Town and Clevedon United..............and then there is Yeovil Town.

Sounds like another click bait issue here - does Vikki work for the paper by any chance?

The article is full of inaccuracies:

...as well as celebrity :rolleyes: supporter :eek: Jessica Ennis-Hill...
 
It's one fan's tweet that's been given ridiculous amplification on a slow news day by a local press that was clearly looking to create a story. Barely deserves any attention, let alone the animosity directed at Yeovil as a whole.

Why do so many journalists think that something being said on Twitter gives it the significance to be reported?

Embarrassing.

Beats research.

The best one I've seen recently is a Facebook story from SYP... And a member of our local esteemed press who has access to their social media account commenting on the post asking for more information.

Lazy bastards.
 



I once had the shits after a heavy session on Heinz Alphabetti Spaghetti. The stream of letters I shat out was more interesting than anything Somerset Live has ever printed. The swirling, stinking, unfortunate mess in the bowl had better prose, grammar and syntax than anything Stephen D'Albiac has ever written.
