    Looks like they’ve rightly had a hard time about it

    Gutter press at its best. No wonder people have stopped reading it.

    I'm quite certain that a huge majority from every club in Scotland save for a tiny minority of hard-line **** would be appalled at their disgusting attempt to comment on skewed irrelevancy at such a time. I would hope someone could clarify at some point just exactly who this 'journalist' is. I've never liked that rag.











    mon the cabbage!!!

    Almost totally irrelevant, generally distasteful, possibly motivated by something utterly petty and Old-Firm-ish. Bang on the money for the DR then it would seem.
    Makes you wonder doesn't it?

    What an absolute disgrace.

    ****my paper. Haven't opened any DR link since the 2016 Scottish cup final lies.

    I stopped reading this rag, online also, years ago and that other pile of trash that comes from the same city. Gutter press at its best. The guy that printed that headline regarding Liam is obviously a Hun, this is how bigoted these people are.
    RIP Liam, my thoughts are with your family at this sad time. 💚💚💚

    I’m no fan of the Daily Record but I’m not sure that headline was meant as malicious.

    I suppose it can be taken out of context.

    I thought the same. It read more like a very clumsy attempt at a 'it can happen to anyone' story rather than being delivered with any malice.

    Why look for any sort of angle to reporting a tragic death like this at all. Disrespectful, insensitive and as others have said probably driven subliminally by some crass old firm prejudice. Pathetic.😖😖😖

    I’m not seeing any OF angle here at all? Totally puzzled by this assertion.

    I’m reading it as before he was diagnosed with cancer, he was living a great life in the US, had shared this with his mates, and then this has been tragically taken away from him.

    I thought the same.

    I was surprised by the reaction and was even more surprised by the apology from them.

    I despise the paper but didn’t find the headline as insensitive as most others, including themselves did.

    Neither. The Record can of course publish some garbage, but I think the outrage here has been way OTT due to misinterpretation. I actually still don’t know what people are getting at?

    I’m not sure what the record we’re getting at. A man has died from cancer at 36. The record put out a story about him boasting about his life in the US. At a push I can imagine they were trying to show that very recently he was living a happy life and now he’s dead. Even if that’s the case, I still can’t see why they would do that the day after he died. Maybe in a few days with a more in-depth story to back it up. Which ever way you look at it it’s in extremely poor taste.

    When else were they going to print it? I don’t see the story as accusing him of ‘boasting’. I see it as saying he did what everyone does when they go abroad - take photos, put them on Facebook or whatever, and show you’re having a good time. The story was maybe relatively pointless but not ‘despicable’ and all the rest of it.

    Happens too often to be a mistake. They would never have done that to a former Rangers player.

    Pathetic journalism - and I use that 2nd word very loosely.

    Terrible tragedy trivialised by the DR headline.
    Whether intentional or not, it was totally inappropriate, insensitive and inexcusable.

    Hun mouthpiece. Sooner they're out of circulation the better. Take that other Murdoch piece of s@#t with you.

    Pathetic gutter journalism. How anyone can work for the Daily Record with any sense of self-worth, respect or pride is beyond me. Joke of a paper which will be consigned to the history books before long. Ban them from ER.

    The Sun also state that apparently Tam McManus was a team mate of his despite leaving four years before Miller signed, then state he's a dad of one.

    If you're going to write about a sensitive subject in the immediate aftermath then at least get your facts right. Disgusting 'journalism'.

    The BBC article also stated McManus and Miller were Hibs team mates.

    In the grand scheme of things it's insignificant but it's shoddy journalism.

    Their paper will be packed full of similar stuff, it's tabloids' reason for existence: intrusive, sensationalised clickbait with no thought spared for how it affects people or whether there is actually any real public interest/ truth in what's being printed. They plough the depths of decency every day to make money, they are utter filth.
