Newspaper articles that are actually

If it is in the back pages of the red tops but isn't a match report then it's 99.9% bullshít....

Amazed how sports journalism and in particular football get away with reporting such utter $hite! Shouldn’t there be standards or something like that. You wouldn’t get away with posting a bull$hit article about a politician or celebrity. They’d sue the pants off them!

They should be held accountable. If they say a player will sign and they don’t then fans can sue them for emotional damages and trauma

Rover, I genuinely think it should be looked into. Football clubs are businesses. If a newspaper printed an article in a similar vein, but questioning a 'normal' business - for argument's sake, let's say a bank - then that company's share price may well be impacted.

It beggars belief that they can get away with completely fabricating stories.

This is not a new phenomenon for tabloids but has just been exacerbated by the advent of the internet in that clicking on certain web pages that purport to be ‘News’ garners credibility for the site, the more clicks they get they suddenly become a more saleable product for advertisers to subscribe to as it means more people must visit the site! So us footy mad lot go traipsing off in search of the odd snippet of ‘news’ and click on anything relating to our respective team, all the while contributing to the vicious circle of pap they pass off as journalism these days, i.e you ask a question rather than come out with substantiated fact(s)…. anyone can do that stuck behind a screen with a deadline to meet and post tenuous rationale for asking the question in the first place and avoid legal action by virtue of ‘journalistic license’ and freedom of the press! It sells ad space people…!

When i see the player ratings out of 10 i often think have they watched a different match to the one i have just seen.
