[Scooter_mcgavin]

Old news

 

[Ricky]

Makes a nice change from all those shitty cheap articles quoting Twitter.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Kinell, I think everyone has a quote on there except me.
Hope it's not too late.

I think West Brom are great. I love their ground, their supporters and their kit.
Being the best team in the world, and desperately unlucky to get relegated last season, they will storm the league this year, starting by hammering us eleventy-six nil.
Come on you Baggies.

There........that should do it.

"Both won comfortably last time out" nothing like a comfortable 3-2 with a 94th minute winner.

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

It's nice to finally see my genius recognised by someone else other than myself.

 

[boo radley]

Bit if a difference to how their fans are describing us.

 

[Foxy]

Nice of them to mention their sources of copy and paste

 

[Billyblade]

See if I can get in on this.

"West Bromwich is a shit-hole and that feckin accent? They all sound as slack as a bag of knackers. What's all this Boing boing bollocks? Nearly as bad as the Swines bouncing. Frank Skinners a proper bellend"

That should do it

 

[Brian Blessed]

Disgracefully selective quoting. They've printed mine when I said they were reyt good, but not the one when QPR equalised and I said I told you they were shit.

Beat me too it but never mind I'll still have a go...

West Brom are utter shite, a bunch of lazy ass primos who should have won the league already. Not only that their fans are so full of themselves and their team it makes you wonder 'did they get relegated last season?' And while we're on it BirminghamLive selected quotes they can bend into praise with a few gentle knocks thrown in just to make it look balanced. UTB.

The fuckers never quoted me, either. Twats. I wonder why? Cunts.

Whoo hooo. I'm in!

 

[SB_90]

its like a Roygbiv Birmingham cousin has gone big time

but that is poor/easy journalism if I can call it that, & also the open top bus quote might get taken out of comnext some west brom fans who think he's being serious

 

[Cheets]

Here's my effort: "WBA away? Hmm, Tough game. By the way, the Birmingham Mail is a great paper. I have it posted to my home address every day even though I don't live near Birmingham. Go and buy a copy today!"

 

[itsinyerblood]

Hang your heads in shame those who offered easy capitulation, you should have been at the Alamo, that way it might have been possible to wave the white flag earlier

Is it that different from Roy’s View From stuff?

It's not at all but in fairness I don't class myself as a journalist.

You forgot...

"Sheffield United aren't bad, but my favy-wavy Sheffield team is the massive Wednesday!"

Maybe not in the traditional sense but gathering your stuff on a blog for people to read is a strand of journalism. ‘The production and distribution of reports on recent events‘

They couldn’t afford mine

I would argue there is a difference with writing on a fan site and a being a paid journalist at the biggest local newspaper in the area. Maybe I'm wrong though. It's not something I've ever thought about to be honest.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Roy isn’t being paid to do his

 

[stringer]

Not sure how that’s relevant but either way, you’ve seen the ads on the blog I imagine?

No,

 

[gordoncharles]

Is it that different from Roy’s View From stuff?

No.

But with due deference to Roy, though, who does that in his spare time, if there is a lazier way for a "journalist" to cobble an article together I'd like to know it.

Joseph Chapman should be ashamed to attach his fucking byline to it.

 

[Ricky]

West Brom are a wonderful club for offering such a black manager a proper opportunity, they have great players and to be honest I hope they beat us fairly convincingly on Saturday because the Premier League's missed them terribly this season. Great fans too, great fans. Hopefully we can grow up and be like them one day.

 

[stringer]

No.

Unless I’m mistaken, which may be the case, Roy earns a few pennies from ads. As well he should.
Point was, his blog works because people are interested and read it.
Why wouldn’t/shouldn’t another website do the same thing if people are interested and read it?

 

[SB_90]

Roy got there before i could. that is journalist with a paying job. our roy is a amateur hobby that we all enjoy (& grateful for) . i like my sporting stats/history but i would never call myself a statistician

 

[Worksop II]

Why wouldn’t/shouldn’t another website do the same thing if people are interested and read it?

Thing is, they aint "doing it" they are copying it

In this day of itellectual rights, they should pay for access to this, and also pay a percentage of what they make from it to the rights holders

And even then they wouldn't own anything of the content

We need to get Vern on the case

NB: I use the term Intelectual loosely, based on most of other members posts on this site

All these Newspapers still wondering why they have trouble charging for content, and put less and less effort in .....
