The Daily Record being The Daily Record.

Maybe Joe Miller got confused with which team he played against.

I doubt he just made the whole story up for giggles.

Probably against the old Rangers at Ibrox but the DR could not print that so changed it from playing against The House of Windsor to playing at Windsor Park and changed Red Hands to red dots.

Confused about which team he played against... and which country he was in at the time too. Either way he's made a bit of a fool of himself. I actually think the whole thing is hilarious as I've got no time for Miller, Linfield or the Daily Record. Two of them have failed badly and been made to look foolish in public and the other is spitting feathers. Pleasing

I see he has now apologised for getting it wrong

Devastated Joe Miller has apologised to Linfield Football Club for claiming he was targeted by fans at Windsor Park.

The former Celtic star last week conducted an interview with Scottish daily newspapers at a charity football match launch where he recalled an incident during a friendly game for Aberdeen in the 1990s.

Miller recalled a tale of a match in Belfast and claimed “there were red dots on us for the whole 90 minutes”. He wrongly believed the match had taken place at Windsor Park.

Miller also claimed he and several team-mates had been abused outside a pub near the ground. The Daily Record contacted Miller after the interview to clarify his claims and he insisted it wasn’t a friendly but a training game with no official result.


Miller has apologised over the incident he wrongly believed took place at Windsor Park
Miller admits his regret over the furore and insists his remarks weren’t intended to offend.

He said: “During an interview last week with several members of the Scottish press I recounted an event but I got the grounds mixed up. I realise that now. I mistakenly thought it was Windsor Park but it wasn’t.

“This event occurred over 25 years ago and my memory has let me down. I apologise to Linfield football Club for any offence taken. These comments weren’t intended to be a slight on the club or their fans.”

So he's now saying he got the stadia location wrong and it was a training game. If it was just a training game, was it with linfield or somebody else, and does he still stand by the laser pens for 90 mins story?

Smells like...

I'm willing to bet the 'so called' journo added that bit himself.

Im not disrespectful of stupidity, I am stupid from time to time myself. You just have to identify it for what it is. Choosing to read the DR is a mark of idiocy.

There are a lot of people out there that would say posting on .Net is idiocy lets not be so judemental people can choose what they want to do and that is a good thing.

The only thing you believe in that paper is the date and the price. I know it seems far fetched but I wonder if they even spoke to Joe Miller.

Would be funny if he too set his lawyers on them.

So the Daily Record, Sun and Daily Mail are all to be avoided if we go by the opinions of some posters on here.

Might as well throw the BBC and Sky into the mix too eh.

So instead, I've to believe the ramblings of some random internet posters on here yeah?

Just because it's in the papers doesn't mean it's not true.

I wonder, where do you guys all get your news from that's so accurate? I feel like I'm missing out.

Or is it just paranoid pish that you're all spouting?

er, you've missed out on Fox news. CNN for me, Ammanpor to be exact. the bbc have been brought up to go the government way, and still do that so don't try to avoid that. depends on what government you'd like/prefer I suppose but I am personally of the opinion that they are biased..............to my opinions, and it is only mine

I agree Bill, ( I've had some correspondence with Kenny & he seems a fine guy ) I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of posters on here calling DR readers idiots but rushing to repeat Twitter feeds from a Sun journalist. Presumably if a Hibs supporting DR columnist was tweeting informed comments about Hibs then the DR would suddenly become acceptable. FWIW I took the time to write a complaint to the DR after their cup final coverage & stating I would no longer buy their newspaper. I doubt many on here took that action & for me that's more effective than coming on here with sanctimonious & patronising comments on tens of thousands ( 3 million total audience ) of people who exercise their choice ( not mine ) to buy the DR.

Actually, I stopped buying the Daily and Sunday Huns straight after the Cup Final and most, if not all, of my mates did likewise.

From the DR the Sun and the Daily Mail, where else.
