How can you write a match report on a game you didn't attend?

[mikefleet]

how do you know i wasnt there?

[Jimmy]

Because you weren't.

 

Just curious that's all.

[mikefleet]

read various match reports and put my own together not hard.

1st game i have missed for a while

[FleetFanatic]

You mean 'lifted bits word for word from other reports'.

[Dave M]

Plagiarism or journalistic inspiration?

[mikefleet]

To copy one persons work is plagiarism to copy many peoples work is research!!

Why do we give this young kid a hard time !

[mikefleet]

thank you wobbly Wayne.

[Bill Kent]

What's the difference between Plagiarism and Research? Go for it Mike.

[mikefleet]

i am not doing anything wrong i have look it all up and its all ok i got permission to show those photos i got.

So i can do match reports even if i am not at the game.

THE FLEET website will keep going.

[Bill Kent]

You've been reading the same quote as I have Andy.

Thats research.

Because your match report said Manny slid the ball under their keeper...anyone who was there will tell you he lifted it over the keeper with the outside of his right foot.

If you can't attend Mike, and I am sure we all realise that you not everyone can get to everygame, why not ask for a match report from someone who did attend? I am sure you will get a few volunteers.

Obviously, given the postings on this forum, you may have to edit the spelling and punctuation, and an unbiased report is always preferable to the " We wuz robbed " rubbish but there are some sensible posters on here and an eyewitness report that is not available on other sites can only be to the benefit of your site.

Even being at the game doesn't guarantee that the writer gets it right. I thougt there were two errors in CWs report in the NLP yesterday. kmj.

[mikefleet]

ok after all the slagging off the match report has gone in its place a mini report with stats.

IS THAT OK EVERYONE?

[Number 8]

I thought yours was OK, for a first stab... and with exception of a few grammar and punctuation errors.

Don't let all the comments put you off, it is only constructive criticism, at least we're all interested in what you are doing, so chin up mukka and carry on..!!

Keep it up Mike. It is always good to have a different view of the match. Let's face it even reporters for the Sun and the Mirror get reports horribly wrong, so I think we'll all allow you a little poetic licence.
