Aust vs Croatia

Post by Purger »

I thought Australia played Serbia last night, yet the heading in today's paper has Roos vs Croatia?

Am I missing something?

I pissed myself for 10 minutes. Advertiser and editing don't mix very well.

Ive given up to be honest, first we had a Yugoslavia that got broken up into 1000 different countries and then some lost souls from Bulgaria stole a name from Greece and named it as a Former Yugoslav Republic :shock: Fair to say apart from one nation in the former Yugoslavia, the rest are "very confusion" and now the Advertiser has caught the "very confusion" bug :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jesus people. It's not about Croatia vs Serbia. It's about the lack of respect for our national football team. A disgrace really that the paper cannot get the right teams in the story.

This would never happen at afl level!!

And it seems in the supposedly "FINAL" edition I have purchased, that instead of fix the mistake, they have completely removed any coverage of the game!

I'm pretty sure the journalist ain't from the Advertiser, but rather a "sister" paper interstate and the Advertiser "cut and paster" just sourced the article from them without even bothering to read the title or content.

It's what they do with every sports article that doesn't concern a local Adelaide team.

Good to see AdelaideNow got it right when reporting the loutish behaviour of servian thugs. :wink:

There is no place for this type of behaviour at football matches in this country. :oops:

I wonder which one of our forumites unfurled the banner :?:
