Trust the f**king BBC...

First there's the news that the "Shrimpers" of Morecombe have rejected a bid for one of their players, and then there's this post-match reaction from our manager, Andy Tilson.

Aren't you glad you pay your license fee?

Nice to see we can rely on our national broadcaster for some top-notch accurate reporting.

Oh dear.....

Andy Tilson

Not the first time either. This time, he is joined by match winner 'Easton' from teh Wycombe game.

More Andy Tilson banter

Err, and again. What is it that they know that we don't?

!

Rochdale get in on the act

There may be still be more too! The wonders of google.

And this afternoon on the BBC Southend 'Home Page', Andy Tilson insists the league is still the priority. Still, they get it right on the report.

Steves Brother is called Andy ?? Maybe the BBC interviewed the wrong Tilson???

Thats pathetic. You'd at least think they'd research this stuff. Bet they never get any of the Premier$hite managers wrong.

They seem to have changed it now.

Fan power perchance?

Well I suppose it's better than what was in an ITV report on one of our games the other month. It went something along the lines of:

"Southend keeper Aaron Flahavan was the star of the show"

That's just horrendous and inexcusable after what happened.

Thats shocking. I can't believe someone would be so disrespectful. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but still its bad.

I actually emailed the BBC and got it changed. The article now says Steve Tilson, but the title on the main page still says Andy Tilson!

I pointed out to them that their article quotes the official SUFC web site, which implies they must have read the article on the official site, which has our manager's name as Steve Tilson, and that they still couldn't get it right!
