I thought I'd start a thread for a bit of fun. This place is for us to share in the glory of the BBCs indescribably inaccurate reporting of events which don't concern the Premier **** League. Such is their contempt for anyone earning less than £300,000/week, they very often don't even get player's names right.
From the Braintree game alone:
"Ben Young struck a brace for Torquay"
and
"Andy Brown tries a through ball, but Andy Brown is caught offside."
That Andy Brown (whose real name is probably Simon Westfield, or something similar) must be **** quick, maybe we should look at signing him up?

Terrible reporting that. They couldn't even get the name of the team we were playing right either ... I mean Braintree? WTF? :slap:

Nuneaton, got it, cheers CP.
You're absolutely right, Dutch. That lot reads like a version of my own personal hell. Awful people, the lot of them. Yewtree should be raiding their homes as we speak.

Yep - it's a feed that most media subscribe to. Sky have identical errors.
The "Ben Young" issue though is a BBC mistake.
