Scottish Daily Record Cocks Up

[marky.t.s]

I take it i'm not the only one to have a panic attack today after reading the small story on page 41 today,i thought i was in a time warp when i read how ,at the weekend a 20 mile convoy of subaru's celebrated the life of Colin McRae,and apparently 1300 vehicles gathered in Banbury" YESTERDAY "before being led back north .Well it just goes to show you cant believe all you read in the press.And more importantly SHAME on the Record for "priding" its self in being Scottish and just makes up a story about a true scottish legend.I mean did they actually research anything before going to print?,did a spotty little trainee journo' get sent to Lanark,arrived late,couldnt find any Scoobs so just made something up?

Well i'll tell you this if anyone from the Record turns up at the weekend and asks me for a comment i know what i'll be telling him. ,nuff said ,rant over!................see ya all at the weekend.

I went out and bought a copy after somebody emailed me. Top job from the Record TBH, they've shown very little interest in this. Certainly not as much as expected.

Youre right there Andy,not much interest from them at all,even when McRae was doing his stuff it was always a short 5 line story tucked away at the back between the golf and the bottom of the horse racing pages.And them after the tragic accident,and while it was still being talked about worldwide, the Record started bleating on about how they were going to campaign for a memorial of some sort in Lanark....talk about jumping on the bandwagon!!

My wifes cousin once dated George Albertz - press coverage by the Daily Ranger was pretty frequent :- you would not believe the amount of bullsmit they "reported" that was simply not true.......

.....ever since then I have dismissed them as utter toss.
