Another late call up for The Hunter

[speedyftm]

Bill has been called in again this morning. Penultimate appearance for our resident journalist.

Looks like all the other regulars have downed tools

 

[Kid Galahad]

So he's a scab ?

 

[speedyftm]

So he's a scab ?

Technically no. He sleeps there every night in case he's needed, so he hasn't crossed the picket line

 

[darius]

Technically no. He sleeps there every night in case he's needed, so he hasn't crossed the picket line

Has his contract ended?

 

[Kid Galahad]

Has his contract ended?

He was on about it Sun I think, no independent journalistic input on SSN anymore to give it a new look (sounds shite doesn't it?)

Dropping the newspaper review thing i believe

The journo discussion pieces also bombed out iirc, not good imo.

 

[speedyftm]

Yep Sky are dropping the paper review when the relaunch happens on Aug 12.

As Bill has this Sunday off his last appearance is Aug 9.

Sky are obviously getting rid to get more hits on their own website.

Not far off the mark there, Speedy. can't do this Sunday as I'm with you & our brethren at the SoL do on Saturday. My final Sky papers spot will be the following Sunday.
Thanks for reminding me about the Van Gaal / Bruce line...will try to work it in!

 

[Joe Boltons'left peg]

most importantly have you sorted the tie situation out ?

when asked who sky phone when they need an emergency journo Bill answered 'they call me.the hunter'

Everything sky does is about promoting sky and the one thing SSN is not is an impartial balanced sports news station, it is an unashamed promotional Chanel for those sports that sky has live coverage of, note how few rugby news stories it runs since it lost the contract to BT as an example

Aw thanks Bill.

So when you slate him he then sues me for it as you've grassed me up on here

When I read the quote I only see Rodney off Emmerdale in my head when he was an escort.

THE TIE IS BACK

 

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

Bill, that tie wins you Sky Sports News.

 

[19seventy3]

Mentioned the Van Gaal / Steve Bruce story

 

[speedyftm]

Sod it, it's worth getting sued for that

 

[JAZMAN2]

Van Gaal Steve OR Bruce tongue out, eyes raised, arms balanced

QUALITY

 

[Andy Reids Love Chil]

Slipped that Bruce/Van Gaal bit in nicely.
