Too busy fawning over Wayne Rooney's ugly mug to care about getting things right for the likes of us.

Love how we basically ruined the BBC's little piece about how well Doncaster are playing and what a great job the manager is doing. They were obviously expecting Donny to win and their claim that Doncaster dominated the game was a complete farce, they probably made it up because they were annoyed with us! That Leroy chap always seems to have something nice to say about the Saddlers though.

Beeb would have taken the word of their local reporter for it rather than check the facts. The little local Hitler sent in his copy with the sure knowledge that nobody would pull him up on it. That works in most places, and in the Midlands there's those other teams in bigger leagues that hog the headlines so nobody checks out on "little" Walsall (copyright BBC), or the stuff that's written about them. So for posterity we blagged a win, instead of having a report saying we deservedly shafted an inferior team.

The BBC used to be good...

A bit like Villa, Brum and Wolves, occasionally, and West Brom now. Doesn't help us as they've moved so far away from their remit they may as well be another commercial service.

As well as emailing them I also used the "post a reply" underneath the match report and guess what, they have not posted it as it still says "be first to reply" as no-one has...reckon we should bombard them and see if that works

Strangely enough, their local paper is more balanced, even if done from their point if view, of course:

Their chief correspondant is a bearded clam... that explains it. :lol:
