And misinformation.

Spot the idiotic mistake, although it’s nice to have the publicity.

Shoddy journalism. Probably got their information from The Herald!

Sadly, our licence fee. Brent Pilnick of all people.

Unless it is your team, who ever remembers who were the runners-up?

Yes 'Fake News'
I have sent the Beeb an e-mail asking them to correct the report by Brent Pillock sorry Pilnick!

When you talk of shoddy journalism, if you read the match report on the Argyle website there are at least half a dozen errors, surely as a journalist you would proof read it at least once before you published it. Not the end of the world i know but just not very professional when it's on our official site. Now, let me just read this back before i press 'submit' :lol:

It’s a journalist’s job to do their research.

I understand the frustrations but I am more annoyed that I missed out on the Wembley win. Embarrassed to say that it didn’t even register we were playing that weekend.

Wembley? Last season? Blimey missed that trip. Oh well I will have to go this season to watch the mighty greens

I’ve had work published and despite rigorous checking there is ALWAYS at least one small spelling or typographical error after publication no matter how hard you try to avoid them. Likewise, I don’t think I have ever read a book without spotting some kind of small error. Consequently, I wouldn’t be too hard on them for that type of issue, especially in something so rapid and ephemeral as a website news article. Getting established facts wrong is another thing altogether though.
