Honestly, Im getting rather tired of the entire news being filled with football. Football does not = news.
Get a grip, dudes.

Insane. I cant believe nothing else is happening in the world.

I take glamkittys side on this. I dont see how this saturation of articles & coverage of the Rangers game should ursurp the papers ability to report the news in Glasgow. Also its an own goal in circulation sales in that half the city wont buy the paper due to "other loyalties". By all means report on transport issues og the supporters going down, but not every single little pointless detail. I buy the Evening times to find out whats happening in Glasgow. Not whats happening in Manchester. Very bad editorial decision from Donald Martin me thinks.

What the "Times" should do for the benefit of those who don't want to read the football stories is make it plain that the stories are about football.
For instance, for this story, they could have explained that "Rangers" are a Scottish football team and that the "UEFA cup final" is a football match, that way "glamkitty", "meep" and "witterquick" wouldn't make the dreadful mistake of clicking on their mouses and reading it by mistake.
Then we could be spared having to read their greetin' faced, grudging posts telling us that they don't want to know about it.
I don't like cricket but I don't access cricket stories just to inform people who do like it about my opinion.

Boo Hoo, I smell the reek of jealousy, it is news and it is big news, it is also something that is not only good for Scottish football but for Scotland as a whole, it is nice that there is something positive and joyous to report on than the usual depressing articles that is normally published in any tabloid newspaper.

Clayton, if you take a little look up at the top of the page, you'll see a red bar. This red bar is divided up into buttons. You'll notice that the 2nd and 3rd buttons are labelled "News", and "Sport".
You'd think that clicking on "News" would give you a breakdown of current events, such as this earthquake in China, or the latest MP's expenses outrate. Similarly, you'd think that clicking on "Sport" would take you to a section devoted to the various sporting news articles.
What you don't expect, is to find the news section flooded with sports articles. As this is posted under the "News" heading, then I feel I'm well within my rights to post my disagreement with this sports crap being posted in the wrong place.
I hope I've made this clear enough for you.

Clayton Moore, i agree that the paper has a right to report on the football, but not at the expense of its reporting capability, and not at the expense of paying readers who want to know what is happening in Glasgow. To me has a long term reader this is pointless overkill that is self defeating and will be detrimental to the papers circulation. It is ludicrous that travel arragements for a section of football fans should be front page news whilst other things are happening in the world.

Of course it's not news that a Scottish football team are in a European final, neither is it of any interest to the citizens of Glasgow that 10% or more of the city's population will be travelling down south. They're only Rangers supporters and it's only their families who will be bothered, an insignificant section of the public, not as if it's "glamkitty" "meep" or "witterquick"'s team.
The problem is that now, in the age of the internet, it is so difficult for some people, once they have "clicked" on a page, to "click" on another to move on and not have to read a story they don't like. It must be a strain having to check every page on the WWW and read everything ever published even though you have no interest in the subject matter.

This is bonkers, although I'm not a Rangers fan - its good to see a team do well on the stage outside the goldfish bowl.
Pity Glamkitty has a problem with that, very sad indeed, typical burd!
Maybe if she had her way, we'd be a nation of vegetables!
If she's going to maon at this, I bet she'd be complaining if Scotland got through to the next level of any euro/world competition.
Not very bright at all, but thats some women for you!

Good afternoon all. Can I first deal with the complaints about posts being 'pulled' - we are having some technical problems because of the number of visits today - a deluge.
No posts have been pulled yet . . . but that is about to change, a couple of you have gone a bit too far.
And I will be monitoring all comments regularly . . . so feel free to think of me as your Big Brother.
To pour some oil on troubled waters, dare I suggest that when 100,000-plus people leave Glasgow for a couple of days it's as much a news event as sport?
Before anyone suggests we are anything but balanced, Celtic received similar coverage when they went to Seville.

I'm not particularly a football fan but I do think this is news and I do enjoy seeing so many fellow Glaswegians so excited and happy.
I felt exactly the same way when the exodus was to Seville.
Enjoy the spectacle, its not earth shattering, it's not life changing.....it's FUN!
Maybe that's too hard a concept for some........if so, it's their loss!

Poor Glamkitty. If you can't stand the coverage the football is getting just now, you're going to hate it next month!!!! Games every night (2 for the first 2 weeks).

Im so glad my OH is a normal guy, who cares about more important things and not about football...I feel totally sorry for any poor soul living with any of the nutters getting all worked up about a silly little game.

Some of my friends like football, but they dont go mad about it.
People who go raving nuts over a game are, in my view, mentally wanting. Anyone who pays hundreds of pounds for a ticket, or picks fights with strangers for supporting another team - mental.
Football brings out the worst in a lot of people.

Xisle what i am focusing on is news coverage here. when i buy my Evening times i want to know what is happening in Glasgow and its surrounding areas. Please note that. If i want to get national news and coverage i would look elsewhere, but the Evening times has a journalistic responsibility to report on the city without compromising its duties to glasgow. Like i said earlier on i dont mind football reporting in its proper context, but the idea that this has to be front page news when other things are happening in Glasgow is an editorial failure. I will make a prediction: the ET this week will have a lower than average sales due to its alenating coverage for a wide readership. If the ET (or any other paper for that matter) truies this when Euro 2008 is on then their sales will plummet. Like i said a bad editorial decision. Can we have some proper news please?

This is a major European sporting event and a Glasgow team is involved. That's news. It's of crucial importance to a huge swathe of Glasgow's population, tens of thousands of whom are leaving the city in huge numbers to see the game. That's news. It's not football reporting; it's [italic]event[/italic]reporting. It's the equivalent of celebrating the achievments of a Glasgwegian actor or musician elsewhere - if James McAvoy won an Oscar or something. I'm not even a Rangers fan.

Stevo, you claim that it's the guys who don't like football who are gay, but I'd like to remind you that it's not me who's surrounded by drunk men with their tops off watching other men in shorts :|
I can't stand football for various reasons - first and foremost being the type of people that follow it fanatically day in day out. With any activity with a fan base of course there'll be a majority who are perfectly nice people, but football seems to attract an element of violence, thuggery and loudmouthed cretinism. There are various other reasons (being crap at playing it, price of tickets, being sickened by the pay that these players receive), but the hooligan element is the one that turns me off this sport the most.
Whether Rangers win or lose I couldn't care less, I only hope it's not something we're hearing about a month from now

time for a joke break
a rangers fan feeling quite hungry, stops at a 24hr garage in Manchester late at night, says to the girl at the window 'Hi, can I have a Kitkat chunky'.
The girl walks off and returns with a Kitkat chunky.
'No' says the man, 'I wanted a normal kitkat, ya fat - - -!'
(word rhymes with hunt)
