The Opposition's Local Media Match Reports

[Penno]

We're a Yarmelenko off a title, if any of our players had any ambition they'd want to win it with us and go down in history.

On the subject of newspaper match reports I want to know why the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People are using exactly the same match report/reporter and photographs on our games yet they have two different opinions and graphics of the RS games and other clubs.This is not just lazy journalism it is ripping of their readers who buy two papers for conflicting opinions and ratings.

And a keeper. We finished 4th in 05 with Martyn, and won trophies with Big Nev due to them being able to make saves which they had no right to. Howard has served the club well but would need upgrading to consider us realistic challengers. Yarmolenko would be a real statement of intent to the players though.

Gutted about Butland,we were supposedly after him 2/3 years ago,he looks the real deal now.

Not specifically related to a newspaper from the area of today's opposition but this is horrendous.

The Mirror is like the kopite trolls on Facebook when it comes to Everton. An embarrassment of a publication. The media cries out for an English side with a purpose to promote youth, good football and eventually challenge in Europe. Yet they want us to sell at least 7 of our stars. Falling over themselves about Spurs and their prospects in the process. Farce.

I would still hope we enquire, even if it takes a record fee. We have potential top class players in every other position with 10 years in front of them. A tricky few years ahead to fend off the vulture and pipe down the Daily rag / media balloons who overlook us too, but if we can keep this group together we could achieve what we all have dreamed of for many a year.

Disgrace the way the RS get 4 pages in the Mirror today and we get a carbon copy of the Sunday People report.Good mind to take it up with trading standards.

Yep,everyone seems to back down when a big fee is quoted for a keeper,but to me its one of the most important positions in the team,one of the "spine" of the side,put it this way I'd love Yarmalenko,but for the money I'd rather we spent it on Butland!

AFC Bournemouth: Stanislas saves a point in EIGHTH minute of added time against Everton



5:00am Sunday 29th November 2015

By Andy Mitchell

JUNIOR Stanislas rescued Cherries a deserved share of the spoils in the eighth minute of added time of a pulsating 3-3 draw with Everton.

Eddie Howe’s men had seemed destined for more heartbreak when England international Ross Barkley scored against the run of play in the 95th minute.

The stunning finale came after the raw physicality of Ramiro Funes Mori and Romelu Lukaku had handed the Toffees a two-goal lead at the interval, only for Cherries to produce a rousing comeback to level in the final 10 minutes.

Substitute Adam Smith’s 25-yard blockbuster eventually broke the away side’s resistance and Stanislas’s finish from livewire Joshua King’s centre had seemingly secured a share of the spoils with four minutes remaining.

Barkley’s powerful low hit squirmed under the body of substitute keeper Ryan Allsop to leave the home crowd crestfallen but Cherries refused to give in and when Charlie Daniels centred, up popped Stanislas to send the Steve Fletcher Stand into raptures.

Then, Harry Arter visibly held his right hamstring as he came off with 15 minutes to go.

Boss Howe named the same team for back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time since September, sticking with the XI that drew 2-2 at Swansea.

Cherries set a brisk tempo from the outset with Arter feeding Stanislas to run at Seamus Coleman before teeing up ex-Toffee Dan Gosling to shoot wide.

The match ebbed and flowed but it was Cherries who looked more incisive. Daniels pinged a low ball across the face of the box for Matt Ritchie to cut inside and hit a crisp effort at Howard.

King turned and wriggled free on the edge of the box with his low drive beaten away by the Everton keeper before Stones just nipped in front of the lurking Stanislas to deny Cherries the opener.

There were gasps as Federici was treated in the 17th minute before continuing but the hosts were almost architects of their own downfall within seconds.

Simon Francis’s cushioned a header fell straight into the path of Arouna Kone who drew a smart reaction stop from Federici at the near post.

From the corner, Romelu Lukaku overpowered Sylvain Distin to force another point-blank save from Federici but that first meaningful attack prompted Everton to turn the screw.

Barkley was pulling the strings, releasing James McCarthy down the left with Federici pushing his shot across goal and just high enough to loop over the onrushing Kone.

But the pressure soon told as another corner from Barkley found Funes Mori to rise above Steve Cook and head back across goal, beating King on the line.

Cherries continued to probe and forced a series of corners but were hit with a sucker punch nine minutes before the interval.

Stones released Gerard Deulofeu whose steered ball into the centre found Belgian international Lukaku to bully his way past Cook and finish from an acute angle.

Ritchie’s firmly-executed cross from a short corner was met by Cook at the far post but with Howard floundering, Stones thumped away the defender’s goal-bound effort.

Fears over Federici proved founded when he didn’t appear for the second half, handing a first Cherries league appearance for Ryan Allsop for more than two years. Smith also came on at right-back with Francis switching across to centre-half in place of Cook.

Cherries started the second half brightly with King denied by Stones and Ritchie shooting at Howard.

A slick exchange involving Ritchie and Arter saw the ball spread to left-back Daniels to a shoot across goal but Howard’s save was calmly mopped up by the impressive Stones.

Little did he know it at the time but Lukaku then missed what should have been the match winner.

Deulofeu pinched the ball back off Arter on the Everton right with Coleman’s cross begging to be planted home by ‘Big Rom’ who miscued at the far post.

As the match opened up, the heartened Cherries continued to create with Stanislas’s deflected shot bouncing out for a corner.

Menace Smith continued to cause problems, reaching a ball he had no right to but none of his colleagues were on hand for the tap in.

Another crisp passage of play down the left saw Daniels find Ritchie in the centre but the Scotland winger’s first-time hit nestled in the grateful arms of Howard.

Eventually, the cruelty ended when Cherries grabbed their lifeline with 10 minutes left.

A poor low corner was scuffed away at the near post but Smith picked up the clearance, turned inside and walloped in off the far post from all of 25 yards.


That lit the blue touch paper as Smith’s vehement appeals for a penalty fell on deaf ears seconds after the restart but in truth, any decision against Everton’s Brendan Galloway would have been harsh.


The irrepressible Cherries kept going and eventually got their rewards with four minutes to play.

Substitute Glenn Murray took a quick free kick and found King on the right to gallop free with his cross swept home by Stanislas from eight yards.

Ritchie’s fierce inswinging corner was headed well off target by Murray but Daniels’s intervention was agonisingly close to finding the net as Cherries went for the jugular.

With time ticking away, the contest seemed all set for a draw before Barkley’s intervention, only for Daniels and Stanislas to weave their magic just as the curtain began to fall.

Wouldnt disagree with a word of that.

Great idea for a thread this mate.

They are still reporters no matter where they are from, people like us who have an opinion but are better at expressing it on paper. Who cares what the media say?

Its just interesting seeing how the locals see the game.

I agree, It's interesting. It may give a better reflection if you look at rags who have 2 teams in the same city maybe?

Look at the national media, a kopite love in all over. If a reporter has affiliations with one team it's always going to be bias, no?

Oh of course. They mostly talk bobbins, imo, but the locals tend to have a better feel for their club. Dont read The Echo, nor the Bristol Evening Post for that matter.
