Looking bleak for the new owners already!

Post by MACCA » Thu Dec 31, 2020 11:09 am

Looks like they've got a major challenge on their hands getting us out of this mess.

We could be joining Bolton before we know it..

:lol:

Do you think it’s a running joke with someone at Sky?

Yes. It would appear that one of our b***** friends down the road might work for them.

There can't be any other explanation, along with the BBC, such is the regularity of it :lol:

I’m all for having a joke, but there’s being funny then there’s being unprofessional

This falls into the latter for me and I really hope something has been said

That's Burton, not Barnsley, though. If it is a deliberate running joke, I would have thought the person doing it is risking the sack. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, but as Wilks said, it's very unprofessional of Sky.

Has anyone thought that they may be victim to predictive texting, God knows I am regularly.
It doesn't stop the blame for the proof reader, but it probably isn't deliberate.

The badge as well though??

Unless it’s a photoshop job.

That's a shocking start from the new owners.

The Badge could be automatically linked with the Name, in order not to post twice. I don't know, I just think it's a far more realistic theory.

Perhaps they think they have bought Barnsley!

Surely they would know the difference because of the daft accent in Barnsley ;)

Except it's Burton Albion who fill that slot.
It could be the predictive text explanation given above, but I prefer the idea that it's a Rovers fan with a sense of humour. If so, it doesn't offend me in the slightest.
Sort of thing one of us might do to wind Rovers fans up.

There’s a difference though between a regular fan doing it and somebody from the professional media.
