Marka Ragnos Posted September 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Was going to do this as a poll, but there are so many possibilities, and so many different ways of interacting with media, it seemed wiser to start with a very, very open-ended question. Help this ignorant Yank out and tell him where to go for the most trustworthy football news (for any league(s) you choose) -- and who to steer clear of. Right now I depend a lot on BBC's daily FiveLive podcast, as well as BBC's main footy website. For breaking news, I also tend to check that site. I like to read the match reports in the Guardian although I suspect they probably aren't considered very credible. I'd really like to hear where YOU look for news -- and what you avoid. Thanks in advance for any replies! Edited September 4, 2013 by Shifted To Neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Football365.com isn't bad. The Football weekly podcast is excellent and if your Irish then the second captains podcast on the Irish times website is very good. THe worst source has to be the sunday supplement on Sky. 4 Fat crap journo's with ego's the size of a small nation talking absolute nonsense about football.

djamfisher Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Football365.com isn't bad.

THe worst source has to be the sunday supplement on Sky. 4 Fat crap journo's with ego's the size of a small nation talking absolute nonsense about football. They also seem to try and stick up for each other's bullshit. Patting each other o nthe back "yeah you know your stuff about that club, and you're well in the know, so i beleive that story". Same old journos i suppose, wouldn't expect much else. No surprise hardly anyone buys a paper nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2013 Football 365 is just the irreverent arm of Sky Sports. The same old bullshit just delivered with a sense of humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Worst commentator I've ever heard has to be Andy Townsend, Clark Carlisle looks like he could be a contender to dethrone him in the coming years.
