SkySports website - typos, mistakes, plain bad reporting!

[Egon]

Has anyone else noticed the increased number of mistakes on the SkySports website?

It has started to irritate me. They've always had a problem with typos, but I'm seeing more errors in their reporting aswell, this was taken from the latest Boro article:

McDonald and Williams both scored in Boro's 2-2 draw with Portsmouth at the weekend, Scotland midfielder Robson started and Estonian striker Kink was on the bench, but all four are on international duty.

It was actually Emnes and Williams that scored

Is this the fault of the journalists or the editors? Are they employing a bunch of dimwits, a shed load of young journalists, or too few and therefore overworked journos? Either way it doesn't build confidence in their reporting.

This is something that really ****** me off the other week;

When asked if PSG fans could expect to see the Bulgarian striker turn out for their side next season, Ferguson abruptly replied "Yes" before moving on.

When in fact the question from the fit french lady reporter was

"Could Berbatov play in Paris"

to which Fergie replied

"Yes, no problem"

Journalism at it's very worst

Perhaps they were typing hurriedly from their phones...?

Perhaps they were typing hurriedly from their phones...?

That might explain some typos, but surely these should be edited before going live. But it doesn't explain bad reporting as highlighted twice above.

Or are you one of their Journalists

It was either footie 365(basically sky anyway afaik) or the actual sky site saying Frimpong or Song setting up the goal for RVP in our last game, when it was Gibbs. Constant mistakes, the BBC was getting pretty shocking towards the end of last season with random mistakes all over the place.
