No Football Fever in Today's Tele

[~Floss~]

   


Not happy. 

Tuesday is normally the day when I look forward to my coffee break because my walk down the street is also rewarded with a small amount of reading material.

Worst of all, I wasted a dollar ...on the Telegraph 

Still, it would probably help if we were making some news for them to write about (eg. signigns....???)

i was pretty pissed off aswell
even more after seeing not even half a page on football
bloody outrage

 

[Jesus]

Well send emails to the tele. Ask for more football coverage. Is the only way to get more

Yeah, my first thought was that they'd reduced it to two pages instead of a liftout... or one page, or half a page, but instead absolutely nothing; goneski.

Just imagine when Midfielder finds out about this!

 

[Wilson]

I will ask my boss what the hell is going on...

It's called "the off season".  This is the most hideous month of the year for football.  Same way they don't produce a "Main Game" liftout in the NRL/AFL off seasons.

Could have easily been an olympics special. Rating the teams who have so far announced squads. And continue that next week withg the rest.

Righto, I'll do it for you.  For free.

"Arnold's squad is easily the worst ever in the history of football".  There you go, you didn't even need a full liftout.

Well i would not have bothered writing up the oz squad. But some of the other squads would be nice

i'm putting on a rainjacket already to guard against the spittle flecked stream of outrage and invective.

True that.  But barring the Brazilian or Dutch squad stepping up and replicating their qualifying form, the Argentineans are going to wipe the floor of this tournament with everyone else.

damnit what a waste of time going to the newsagent today - to be fair there isnt THAT much going on at the moment, so long as it returns for the a-league

I'm still struggling with the concept of anyone parting with money to buy the Telegraph.

I can summarise the next week for you:

NRL
Morris is a tool
NRL
Some no name celeb does something odd
Shock horror kids do something bad headline

Easy

you the editor there greenpole?

Exactly. TBH I think the only reason I fired up about this is that there's nothing else happening to fire up about!

Yep, I usually pay $1 every tuesday for FF and don't even flip through the rest of the garbage.
That's why I was annoyed at myself for buying it today!

It said on the cover of last week's FF that it was going on holidays for about 3-4 weeks for the offseason.

trust brett to read the fine print

well noticed

I read that too. I think they are devoting a bit of space to NRL and AFL til they hit their semis. Also Olympics coming up and that will take up column space too. Our time will come though.
