Woman in the Stands (WITS) 0 Posted January 4, 2011 That''s because at some stage yesterday during the game it was reported as being deflected off R Martin - see the match thread and live following of game on Pink Un, as reported by Paddy Davitt.Obviously, he''s not done his homework to check though.

NCFC_Thain 0 Posted January 4, 2011 It''s because Ruseell Martin and Leon Barnett are both big black guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 4, 2011 The source the media use is the Press Association - who are useless and known for making these kinds of errors. If you look on the BBC report, they have corrected the actual text but the "match data" below, which is provided by the Press Association, is still wrong.

Guest Posted January 4, 2011 Sorry for double post...[quote user="Canary_on_the Trent"]I thought at the time it may have came off of Russell Martin and It was announced on the PA system as a Russell Martin own goal so in a shock decision perhaps the media used Middlesbrough FC as the source of the information.[/quote]It was quite a delayed announcement wasn''t it? So they probably waited for the Press Association to decide who it was and just announced that. Strange for them to bother - I think at most grounds when an OG goes in they just call it as on OG and leave it there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
