God Error Chucking
A couple of examples of high-quality articles from over the weekend, which again suggests to me that perhaps certain organisations need better poof reading…
Firstly, here’s the Observer online:
Championship
Barnsley 1 Colace 53
Scunthorpe 1 Hayes 58
David Hopps at Oakwell
guardian.co.uk, Saturday 12 December 2009 20.09 GMT
The other membersof the Championship’s top three, West Brom and Cardiff, had already come a cropper at Barnsley this season, and Newcastle will be relieved they did not join them. It all looked straightforward: a goal up at half-time, Newcastle’s superiority unquestioned, and a routine 45 minutes away from what would have been their eighth successive win. It proved to be nothing of the sort as Barnsley summoned a zestful second-half performance.
I hate to be picky about it, but as the text makes quite clear, it was Newcastle who were playing at Oakwell, and whoever has put this page together — presumably using a previous Barnsley game (possibly this one against Scunthorpe, methinks) as a template — has done David Hopps somewhat of a disservice by giving the impression that he can’t remember which team was playing Barnsley for more than five minutes.
Still, at least while they got the goalscorers wrong, the actual score of both teams wrong, and the away team wrong, they were correct in that Barnsley drew at home.
Having said that, the BBC’s report into Brian Laws leaving his job at Sheffield Wednesday seems to make Brian out to be something of an egomaniac self-publicist with a tendency to speak about himself in the third person… or they’ve got the author of the quote wrong:
Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws has left the struggling Championship club by mutual consent. The Owls lost 3-0 at Leicester on Saturday to slip into the bottom three and have not won since 17 October.
Laws, 48, left Scunthorpe to take charge at Hillsborough in November 2006 and academy boss Sean McAuley takes temporary charge following his exit. “We believe a change at this time can deliver fresh energy and direction,” said chairman Lee Strafford. [...]
“Brian Laws has done a very good job at Sheffield Wednesday in the light of the low level of resources at his disposal in the first two years of his time with the club,” added Laws.
…I also spotted online someone seeming to suggest Liverpool were a “team packed with quality”, where it would seem to me that the words “not exactly” have been accidentally omitted between the words “team” and “packed”, but it is always possible that this one was intended as satire…
