Thanks SBS for promoting the game through the lean years. When it was wogball and uncool. These days the kids know about manu, ronaldo and its all so exciting going to the world cup. They don’t realise what a hard slog its been.
What I don’t much like is the almost ‘self-appointed guardians’ like attitude that sometimes prevails on TWG. The constant criticism of PV, and the style, and the hair gel and what-ever. But having FOXTEL I can enjoy Harps and crew giving their version. It’s great to have alternatives including columns like this. If we think its all a bit dark somedays, just remember that it wasn’t long ago that nobody much in the media was talking about football and the fans had no outlet for their passion. And just a little further back, Fred Villiers got a 5 min spot on Melbourne’s channel 7 ‘wide world of sport’ (read afl, horse racing, golf) to talk about ‘soccer’. How things have changed
In defence of SBS's football coverage
“you’ve struggled to follow a nonlinear narrative.” Hahaha, you nearly had me spitting out my caffè corretto this morning!
On those 20 comments, I’ve noticed a drop off in comments left on the football tab and it’s across all articles. The owners of the website went about trying to fix a non-existent problem (?) and they may well have FIU. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
On writing about good news stories. Just honest, factual reporting and opinions based on consideration of different points of view will do me just fine. Carry on sir.
Is it the media's responsibility to only report good news stories?
