Offside OFFSIDE! I swear it’s true...
BBC Alba, the corporation’s Scottish Gaelic language channel, delayed transmission of a Scottish Premiership football match until after the watershed because of the amount of swearing that could be heard from fans.
Ross County’s match with StMirren was supposed to have been broadcast ‘as live’ by BBC Alba at 17:30, immediately after the final whistle, but the transmission was delayed until 22:55. The channel had been concerned the amount of bad language would have breached Ofcom guidelines.
But it decided to delay the transmission after realising that bad language could clearly be heard on its microphones, which were placed around the ground.
A spokeswoman for BBC Alba later said the
Australian bowler Daniel Worrall punished for defacing pitch
delay to the transmission had allowed producers to edit out some of the bad language.
BBC Scotland sports reporter Jim Spence later tweeted: “Bad language delays transmission of BBC Alba Ross Co v St Mirren game tonight. That's ###@@@€€€€#### ridiculous.”
Hardly helpful,Mr. Spence! Bottom of the design league
AWolverhampton Wanderers fan who was left disappointed with a purchase can have little cause for complaint after the club made it up to him.
Richard Gough was certainly a bit peeved when the Wolves shirt he ordered online came
with a rather catastrophic design error... an upside-down club badge.
Gough took to Twitter to moan at the League One title chasers, who were quick to respond and give the fan a free ticket. But they also added a clever twist to their letter – it was also printed upside-down.
Gough bought the shirt from the club's website and took to Twitter to let the club know of their mistake.
He Tweeted the club with a picture posting: ‘my new shirt just
delivered.....can you see the error? Is this why theyre (sic) 12quid at moment? S***e’.
Theclubwerequick to getbacktothe fan, offering him a ticket and a chance to meet the players in the dressing room before the game against Shrewsbury onMarch 15.
Groundsman’s buckets stolen by crooks games going ahead.”
CLACTON groundsman has hit out at thieves who stole two buckets – his only equipment to clear a waterlogged pitch.
FC Clacton bosses recently heaped praise on groundsman, Barry Leatherdale, for his heroic recent efforts inmaking the pitch playable despite heavy rainfall.
Barry spent hours using just two sponges and two old builder’s buckets to clear water from the playing surface. But Barry arrived at the Rush Green Bowl ground last week to discover his buckets had been pinched.
He said: “Recently, my life has revolved around my buckets and sponges with the amount of rain we have had. That’s all the equipment I’ve got to try to keep our pitch clear and keep
152 l PC APRIL/MAY 2014
He has appealed for anyonewith spare buckets, sponges, or other useful equipment to donate it to the club to boost his efforts.
Somethingwe should all be doing…
Cricket Australia has suspended seam bowler Daniel Worrall for defacing a wicket with a lewd image.
The South Australia player, 22, committed the offence during a Futures League game with Victoria on 14 March.
A CA statement read: “Worrall scratched an image of a penis and testicles into a wicket being prepared for a grade cricket final that coming weekend.”
Worrall pleaded guilty to the charge and will miss either two four-day matches or four one-day or T20 games.
He disputed the punishment but the penalty was upheld and he has 48 hours to appeal.
