The Grauniad - WBA match report/photo caption

[Bassingham Terrier]

Pushing the boat out again in order to demonstrate the football correspondent's (lack of) knowledge of lower league teams.
Sees a shirt with a name ending in "O" and jumps to a most embarrassing conclusion.



The actual report itself is an embarrassment too - all about you-know-who, not our game.

Being the Guardian, the journalist will have been relentlessly trained to not make the assumption that Kongolo sounds like an African name and therefore does not correspond to the photo.


He or she did the right thing. 😀

He looked at Toffolo's shirt, saw the "O", looked at last September's squad, saw Kongolo, neglected to see the signings we made in January... and there you have it, a lazy c*** of a so called sports reporter!
