Upsndoons Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Prime example of poor reporting by the media. Be ready to explain to Joe Public exactly the above. Sepecalative headline to attemp to find a scandal where there isn’t one. Why are the media obsessed with the performance or otherwise of our NHS ? But the damage is done to our sport. Dig deep and be a better ambassador for the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
