CT Stirring It Up Again

Arseholes.

They're just reporting on something The Sun are saying in this case, which hopefully means it can be dismissed as a load of bollocks.

Deleted member 2477 · Nov 25, 2015

When you read the article there is absolutely no substance to it. No quote from mclaren or newcastle just a journalist speculating

tom88 · Nov 25, 2015

More click bait, nothing to suggest they are going to recall him what so ever.

AA is not the answer to their problems at this moment. SMc will either pick up a bit of form or he will be sacked before January

We'll_live_and_die · Nov 25, 2015

Best thing for us would be if they sack Mclaren and bring in a decent manager who knows the kid would be best playing out the season here.

I know, but it breeds discontent - if anything, the CT should actually investigate and quash the bullshit, instead of copying articles from a rumour mill.

Dunno why I expect more from the CT, tbh.

torchomatic · Nov 25, 2015

I don't.

So now any bad news is "CET Stirring it up"

I suppose you expect a media blackout when we lose?

Otis · Nov 25, 2015

I don't see the problem myself. The CT is a newspaper and it is their job to report on stories. It could be argued that it was bad journalism to not put a story in about something relative to our club that is being carried in the national newspapers, couldn't it?

Cobi Jones's Dreads · Nov 25, 2015

Yeah just usuall click bait shite for the CT, just like the Kent has been recalled headline.

Badger · Nov 25, 2015

Did anyone see SSN last night, they were talking about AA for ages saying NUFC should take him back in Jan and put him at least on the subs bench. The only one who said they should leave him to learn his trade playing proper games in front of a decent crowd was Charlie

And Jeff to be fair, he argued the point for him to stay. Most of this came from Cottie which is exaclty where I thought this rumour came from when I saw it in the sun. nothing new here i would say jsut reporting off the back of a SSN conversation

rupert_bear · Nov 25, 2015

Adam Armstrong's possible return

Not that fased should Newcastle take AA back, first if they see him as the answer to their problems at 18 with just a few third division games to his name McClaren deserves the sack. From our point of view like all I want him to stay but should he go I have every confidence TM has that possibility well covered and I think would replace AA with a more than capable alternative. Don't get me wrong I am willing him to stay, he deserves his medal but losing him will not be the end of the world

sw88 · Nov 25, 2015

He wouldn't get through these dry spells as easily at Newcastle. They'd be demanding he score every game. Atleast here with others are getting goals when he's not, he's not getting pressured by fans to do more.

Nick · Nov 25, 2015

Would more be expected than a copy and paste? It will be done again later in a 5 things we learnt today, as well as a fans reaction to .... article.

torchomatic · Nov 25, 2015

The point, I think, is that it's not news.

The 'fans reaction' stuff is the worst. News outlets shouldn't be encouraging the public to offer opinion, it never goes well.

It is headed up "rumour mill". If you don't like rumours, especially negative ones, why give it ant time? It is also mentions that TM is in constant discussions, which balances out the rumour. "balanced reporting" some may say. Make up your own mind, but for some to take it to conspiracy level is ridiculous.

torchomatic · Nov 25, 2015

Yes, Rumour Mill and in the section "Transfer News: Adam Armstrong".

No conspiracy theories, it's just a shit article and lazy journalism.

Yup, Ben Turner would be playing for Forest Green Rovers and we would have sent Jacob Murphy back to his parent club.

Specs WT-R75 · Nov 25, 2015

The only way to put these rumours to bed is for Newcastle to start scoring and winning some games...however Newcastles next 5 games:

Palace away, Liverpool home, Spurs away, Vile home, Everton home

It is hard to see many points aside from Vile there... the pressure will build for sure.

If McLaren is still at Newcastle then I think he has an obligation to at least take a look at him when the loan expires, even if he ends up sending the lad back. If McLaren gets the sack, whomever replaces him probably has to take a look at him too.

But I am not actually that concerned. If we are still top or in touching distance in January then there will be plenty of other loans available to Mowbray however it won't be a youth player it will be a "known" striker that comes into finish the job - might cost us a few bob, but hopefully the additional revenue from the gate receipts will more than cover it. Murphy has also shown that he is a more than adequate replacement if needed, and if he is playing up front then we have Maddison (maybe Cole?) to slot into midfield.

A few weeks ago we were all bricking it with the prospects of losing Armstrong... right now I think we will be able to do just fine.

Sorry, that's unwarranted. Please refrain from mistaking me for an idiot, like Grendel did.

I expect a degree of journalistic integrity from the CT I.E. NOT to publish any old rumour and sow seeds of discontent in the fan-base. Rather, reassure the fans that it's basically a chinese whisper of sorts and has no foundation whatsoever.

This is not 'news' it's click-bait, a rumour based on some column-filler that some underling at the CT read in a daily rag.

And this is just another lazy thread repeated every week by posters who dont want to hear anything then moan why were we not told this before.
Easy really if you dont like reading what they write dont read it.
Funny but your rant on here has made many a poster who wouldnt have bothered reading it do just that.
Are you sure you dont work for them?
Very cleaver promoting.

There is a rumour and CT reported it as such. They then quoted TM to give a balance. They did not go into great investigative journalism, probably because, as it says " rumour mill ". I can imagine that they want clicks and you probably got them a few more.

ajsccfc · Nov 25, 2015

You have to read something in order to know if you don't like it.

torchomatic · Nov 25, 2015

I hope you're not slagging off fellow fans...

The media is shit shocker

Nick · Nov 25, 2015

Looks like there is a "Why" article, what time is the fan reaction and then the 5 things we learnt today about Adam Armstrong coming?

Uh-huh, after two slapping's you're still game. Need links?

Nice to see the Grendelettes cheerleading for your dour, bizarre, possible sociopathic need for negative attention.

And again, Tony's thick mate fails to see the bigger picture, and goes for as many 'likes' as he can from the Grendel Gang.

I'd correct your spelling, but I'm not as pedantic as many others here. Also, it does help if you UNDERSTAND the context of my 'beef' with the CT I.E. Reading the article AND reading my issue with it.

My issue is with the CT and it's lazy writing, as opposed to displaying any semblance of integrity. But then, it just shows the level of your mind that I've had to spell it out to you, almost in yellow crayon and cue-cards.

Fuck. Me.

Another hair-splitter, who can't see the woods for the trees.

Here's a tip, it helps to absorb a context prior to posting ignorant finger-wagglings. But then again, what do I expect from the Grendellettes?

Nothing but ignorance and adolescent finger-jabbing. Fucking grow up and disengage your vaginas.

I know you are quite new on here, but when you start to throw things like Grendel gang around you would probably see that LAST probably doesn't agree with most things the "Grendel Gang" would say or why it would try and get likes. So that doesn't make much sense.

Not many new people would join up to a forum and start acting like, let's face it a bit of a dick to people.
