Sorry if its been posted already.

What a s*** article too by the way.

[St Michele]

I must say I was miffed at being quoted. I would have thoguht they would need permission to do so. What I wrote was to the saints supporters on here not the wider community.

[iwantmeseats]

yeah, thats the world of gutter crawling journalism for you. They can basically say what they like by linking information to a un named source. Or hide in bins, whatever takes their fancy.

It really was lazy and sensaitional journalism. It seems to me that the standard of sports jounalism is going down the same path as the British press. I can just imagine all these little porkers running round looking for any little tidbit of info they can make into a scoop, and this was it. They did not have much substance so they used quotes on this site to add depth to there bullshyte stories.

I am almost dissapointed that I did not post anything they felt worthy of printing.

They whinge and complain when they are lied to, but can you really blame players and clubs for trying to hide things? Today has proven that no matter how good are a reporter you claim to be (MARK ROBINSON), some will stoop to any means to get a story. Think you owe 1 or 2 parties a big fat apology.

I am going back to my ban of reading the sports section of the newspapers. It is funny how you feel so much calmer through the week between games. I don't need bumbling inept fools to point out that St Kilda haven't hit their straps yet. I go to the games, I can see it for myself and I certainly don't need to read their carp analysis!

One of the unfortunate drawbacks of an 'anonymous' username, St Michele. Especially in a situation such as this.

[Jimmy1972]

Yep, this is not right.

Things manipulated.

How they construct, not a story, but what they want from forums is a false interveiw based on mainly crap.

How do you stop this from happening

Yep, agree, I have have learnt it best to ignore the press, rarely read the age or HS craptorial as the quality of jurnos these days is poor, and today proved it. I hope the tossers will no longer complain about RL`s press conferances

Unfortunatly since your comment (or post if you like) was recorded on a public forum for anyone to see so The Age, Sun and any other poor excuse for toilet paper with words on it can use and abuse it for their own ends.

BANG BANG

It is the worst thing i have seen in a few years, it is not right. Can anyone be held accountable as how can it be used as a quote etc.

[SaintWodonga]

Not happy with being quoted. The comment was meant for the forum only!

[saintbrat]

Interestingly they Stopped taking Comments'''''''' very quickly.

Haha I just read through them and had quite a laugh. Can't see a positive comment about the article in that entire lot, and some of them are very effectively putting the onus back on the author. Very amusing.

[I Love Peter Kiel]

I love that quote from Disraeli!
He was witty, intelligent and courageous...like all true Sainters!

Another great line from him when heckled as a "f*lthy J*w" or words to that effect in Parliament by (I'm sorry to say) an Irish MP, he replied:

"Yes, Sir, I am a Jew. And when your ancestors were painting themselves blue, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon."

Write a letter to the editor. You deserve the right to air your grievance.
