...... but still a journalist

Which is wrong. Those who work in the industry and choose to join are members of the NUJ... the clue's in the title. Journalism is a broad field.

On newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and all other media: General reporters, sports reporters, news reporters, business reporters, feature writers, leader writers, analysis and comment writers and presenters. Editors, sports editors, news editors, features editors, business editors, sub-editors across the spectrum, page designers, and all producers They're all journalists

Why?

A reporter is a journalist

All the media prepare obituaries well in advance. The Queen's will already have been written too.

Last time they were promoted Watford had 4 managers in a single season.

Commentator sounds like the bloke who does Rovers matches on ifollow

A team like us in other words - except ours look like they are frightened of their own shadows at the moment I thought the Rovers looked thoroughly demoralised against Bournemouth. The players have lost confidence in themselves and look resigned to defeat when we go behind. No doubt we'll eke out a point here and there but it's not looking good.

11. Hopeless.

What did they do before they "drilled down" ? Perhaps they used a simple English word, such as "sought", or "searched", or "examined"? And how about the "roadmap" out of lockdown? How did we ever survive all those years without "roadmaps"? In the old days there'd be a simple English word like "route", or "way", or "plan"? Then there's the "rollout" of vaccines, when surely "distribution" is a perfectly adequate British English word and finally, the worst of the lot, "ramping up", probably the most overused American word of the pandemic and the most annoying when "increase" or "expand" or "extend" is easily understood

Excellent letter Simon. Have signed

There speaks a man asking to be sacked and eager to collect his redundancy money No honour amongst thieves

What's the odds on you being right? The usual 1000-1?

Other managers looked at the way we were playing and adjusted accordingly Tony had no plan B,

How can a supposedly honourable man look at himself in the mirror and not admit to himself that he is failing in his job and has reached the end of the road?

One thing is absolutely certain: if Mowbray is still here next season we will be relegated

This is a demoralised set of players. Can't even score a penalty

It's all too easy. And we offer no threat at all Commentators: "the lack of home crowds has had a real effect on Rovers" No mention of the manager Twerps

Americanisms are a blight on the British English language and need to be resisted. Lawmakers instead of politicians or legislators is one that has become widely used in the media. Skedule instead of the correct schedule in the spoken word drives me nuts and the Oxford comma has crept into written language, and is very annoying (see what I did there?) And don’t anyone dare use train station instead of railway station

Would Ainsworth get a mention if he wasn't a Blackburn lad? I don't think he would

I know what you mean TS. I was world class every time playing in the back garden On Brereton, he very much relies on confidence, A while ago he was in good form and playing well but at the moment he looks shot. I'd like to see him what he can do under a better coach and manager because he has alot of attributes, although he is unlikely ever to be a prolific scorer

Brereton's confidence has gone. Today he was snatching at shots, mistiming runs, holding the ball when he should pass, laying it off when he should keep it and miscontrolling the ball all the time. It's a shame because earlier in the season he was playing well and finally looking like a good player in the making. I think there's a good player in there somewhere but at the moment he's a liability

You have to wonder how Mowbray is able to sit at home with a clear conscience tonight. Surely anyone with an ounce of their own self-worth and pride would look at themselves in the mirror and admit that they are failing in their job and can no longer justify picking up their very high wages.

Trolling, and if it's not trolling, it's tripe. The lads at QEGS are from ordinary, backgrounds, most of them so-called "working class".
