Great logic. As I explained though he does have a vested interest. His job is dependent on local news.

Yes, but I wasn't the one who started the "vested interests" allegations was I?

Perhaps, to prove your point, you could give an example of where you have discredited something you agree with?

How am I trying to promote a conspiracy? I'm talking about excepted facts of the world. Its you two that are suggesting that what actually happens is journalists work for free, newspapers don't try and make money, and businesses hope that no one will see their adverts. If that isn't a...

And here we go with the self proclaimed intelligent person dishing out personal insults. Does Led Reid get paid for reporting on CCC - Ccfc matters? Yes Will his employer make more money if more people read it? Yes. Will increased revenues for the observer allow them to pay their...

Well obviously. Why would I discredit something I agree with?

Where have I said they shouldn't have reported?

No he's doing it for his career. Why do you think he's doing it?

Some might well have been city fans. But they are still journalists for a paper who's main aim is to sell/distribute more papers. Or do you think they all did the job out of the goodness of their heart? Lol.

You don't think an advertiser would want the observer to have a high readership rate? Why would a business advertise in the observer if no one read it?

Through surveying and responses to advertisements. The same way ITV know how much they can charge advertisers.

Nothing is free. It all gets paid for somewhere. In the case of the Observer it is by advertisers. Higher readership rate will mean increased advertising revenues, meaning increased wages for its journalists.

Nothing, he is free to support whoever he wants. It just highlights that his "vested interest" is in selling newspapers and advancing his career. A law abiding council and a stable Ccfc is not good for his job progression prospects.

Basically you mean less dickheads?

So pre 1980's football grounds we lovely safe places to take the family were they? When was the last time you heard of cricket fans pelting opposition fans with missiles?

I can understand that you can spot duplicate accounts, but how could you tell who they are? How would TF or AL setting up duplicate accounts appear any differently to me doing it? (not that I have of course!)

I agree, even Fisher and Lucas are entitled to their opinion. If they come onto here and portray things from their own point of view, or even lied, it is up to us as individuals if we believe them or not. I still maintain though how can we know someone has a vested interest when they are...

Of course it is right to point out that it is only a tiny minority of people that are idiots at football matches, but unfortunately that's all it takes. I seen it nearly kick off once because some chav at the back of the telegraph stand kept using the C word. A perfectly decent bloke in front...

Because its not such a passionate sport, and there's less chavs.

No. Its the actions of a few idiots who ruin it for the rest of us that are to blame for that.
