Only read the headline on the front page but, they were "bigging up" the potential violence in the Woking v Boring wood trophy semi and how the police are planning to deal with it.
To me it's glorifying the morons who wreck our game. Front page coverage with a big photo.
It's like these tabloids who rightfully vilify sex offenders but elsewhere pander to them by carry pages of phone sex ads. The two don't sit very comfortably in my opinion.

I used to wonder why the NLP got such scant regard from so many non-league fans. I rarely buy it these days - I can get everything I need from club sites, and for the Conf. Nat, the BBC website is pretty good. It's sad, because our game needs a regular paper - but not one that knows not its ar*e from its elbow  |

'TROPHY THUGS FACE DOGS OF WAR'
what a sensationist headline
I'd expect that from the gutter press such as the Sun or the NotW

Compared to this NLP twaddle, ISIHAC, I'd say that some of the bullshit we came out with for the Entirely Ficticious Football League on Pyramid Portal was actually top journalism.  They just want to catch people's eye to try and get a few extra copies shifted. That's what you do when you're desperate! Back when we used to run a football sweep at work we were forced to resort to posting notices round the place which read, in large letters, "SEX!!!!" or "FREE BEER!!!", with the message underneath "Now we've got your attention please pay your pontoon money to Michael or Colin." |

And there was I thinking that Woolen Hack had gone to that great journo-pub in the sky, and then stuff like that appears on the front of a "Reputable" organ  As you say. Bullnuts  |

The Birmingham-based "Sports Argus" showed their considerable knowledge of local non-league football a while back when reporting on our local rival Hednesford (aka the "Pitmen") Town's FA Cup defeat at Hucknall (or as the Argus called them "Hackling") Town.
The report referred to HTFC frequently as "the Binmen" and the icing on the cake for us SRFC fans was where binmen keeper Mark Gayle (the Argus referred to him as "Gaily") was sent off and replaced in goal by ex-SRFC player Darren Simkin (who the reporter called "Darren Smoking".) ;D
Now that WAS top journalism! ;D
