Was thinking the same...

Should have been : West Coast's in house Journalist Kim Kagdorn has had his last article dismissed as BS by the manager of Fremantle's Michael Barlow......."
 
Re: Manager sinks boot into Balow claims

God that's a horrible photo >.<

Wasn't at the game nor did I watch it live/replays - tried to avoid any pictures or videos of the actual break

was in Napoli when it happened and my dad came up to me looking grave and shaking his head saying Barlow had broken his leg

I'm glad his manager has confirmed the article was a steaming pile of *************** lol

Good luck to Mick in his recover :)
 
Re: Manager sinks boot into Balow claims

"Heresay" Hackdorn just cant seem to get it right can he?. If I had the time I would really love to be able to go through all the articles that he has had published over the years and see just how much he gets correct. I'd say it would be a rather low percentage. :thumbsdown:

Strange that of all the different websites running footy stories ONLY Hackdorn comes up with this particular Krap. The fact he uses words like "understood" "it is believed" indicates he really has no story and is simply relaying a rumour from an unreliable source.
No mention on the AFL sight, No mention on Fox, nothing in the Herald Sun.

Perfect example of "weasel word" use.

"Weasel words is an informal term[1] for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said, when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated." (Wikipedia)

Simple conclusion. The bloke is a weasel.

Re: Barlow suffers setback

Interesting point about our favourite website WRONGNEWSFIRST.
I posted a comment yesterday on their website under the Barlow "news" item questioning the validity of the photo and article. Guess what! they didn't even delete it which makes them look even more stupid. You would think they don't even read what they publish.

With official word from Barlow's manager as to the setback rumours being false - surely mods you can delete this waste of Fremantle supporters time.

I don't need to see a medical symbol every time I login to the the forum - ESPECIALLY when there is no basis for it. :mad:

Maybe we can just flag Falcon Strike as a tool and call it even? ;)

At least the Worst got the facts right, which is more than Hackdorn could do - expecting the Worst to get both basic facts and English grammar correct is just setting the bar far too high for the paragon of mediocrity that is Perth's local rag.

How about we change the thread title to "Post all the crap Hagdorn journalism here."

Good idea, but the thread length would vastly exceed Big Footy's word limits, even if it was restricted to the garbage Hack posted in the last two months. And, frankly, it would give the tool more credit than he deserves.

I wonder if he thinks he is funny, if he ever gets the guilts about the impact his garbage articles have on players and their families, or if he is just too out of it to even care about anything except page hit stats??

Hopefully journos of the future learn not to post the garbage he does...

I was thinking of posting that this sort of thing - doctoring photographs to support a fabricated story - must breach some type of journalistic code of ethics:D As if there were such a thing!

What an absolute lying sack of shit!

Kim (and I know you're reading this while browsing for "scoops"), you're a piece of complete and utter human excrement. If the readers of the Sunday Times could somehow rub together half a braincell, you'd be run out of town by a lynch mob wielding rusty pitchforks.

We should start a campaign to have Morfesse ban him from press conferences unless he issues a full retraction.
