Chronicle...littered with errors

[hanworthbee]

Im not a basher of the paper I buy it every week but its proper cringe worthy this week the amount of errors and Im not even really studying it that hard, for instance in the inside back pages they have a list of teams we are meeting next season and our last result against them and these were all wrong.They said our last game V MK Dons we lost 1-0 although in the write up we won 1-0, the Darlington game we drew at home 2-2 and 4 days later sealed promotion back to DIV 2 with a 1-0 win V Exeter (although that may have been Darlo i suppose), last game V Wrexham a 2-0 away win with Fitz sealing it with a late strike...im sure it was 2-1, whats going on.

They obviously got their info from the official site. lol

Anything of interest in there?

Kuffour says he left for the sake of his career although in the same interview he turned down higher division teams for Muff.....the usual weve got irons in the fire and will be signing a goalie next

Kuffour says he left for the sake of his career although in the same interview he turned down higher division teams for Muff...

Maybe he went for them because he really wants to come back to us when we go up this season, but doesn't want to play too high in the meantime so that he doesn't feel like it's a big step down when he comes back Or perhaps more likely it's because he wants first team football at an ok price instead of being paid more to be a bench warmer.

And re keepers: I should bloody well hope so!

:blush :blush Have had a couple of letters pointing them out. I take full responsibility. Some were human error which weren't checked as thoroughly as they should have been, while some were due to gaps in reserach material (ie using wrong info off the internet to bridge the gap between 100 years of Brentford book and the start of my surviving programmes). Sorry!

 

[I Predict A Riot]

Refund him his 50p back then. lol

 

[hanworthbee]

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Fleet Street here you come

Yeh and while you're down on Fleet Street can you go to Ludgate Circus and pick up my lunch from Subway? I'll give you some insider* information on the Bees' two new signings.

*made up

I think you need to sign up Larry Signy

Canary Wharf surely... lol

Anyway, I don't think silly errors going unchecked equate to delibrate misrepresentation and distortion of the facts good sir. Unless Brentford beating Wrexham 2-1 rather than 2-0 two years ago makes for a much better story... That's how Michael Vaughan told it anyway, and I have in on tape!

Only with abee as proof reader!

 

[louzer]

You should see the letter toe bee sent to the chronicle!
Put those part time guttersnipes right in their place.
I suppose that's what you get for aspiring to be a ****** like Piers Morgan or Grant Mitchell's bird rofl

at the back of my H.Y.O.B i have some supplementary record sheets giving season's records after the book was published. how long was this carried on for? i got out of the habit of buying them but would like to complete the set if possible. gawd knows why though...

There was a follow-up book 10 years later, covering the records over that 10 year period, but I haven't seen anything since

 

[hanworthbee]

this weeks chronicle states that clive walker played 1000 league and cup games for chelsea (page 9) when infact according to my research he actually only played 198

 

[Markybee]

Page 12 says Brenda Bosworth lives in Ealing. Its incorrect, she actually lives in Boston Manor. Disgraceful mistake :grey:

 

[hanworthbee]

the sun doesnt have these errors

 

[DavidgRushden]

Don't worry - up here we have the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph ( and in NB's exclusive territory The Chronicle & Echo), and the mistakes you see in those two papers are unbelievable. They can't even get the spelling right half the time!
