I thought the BBC were bad for lazy journalism but this takes the cake.

They would have been singing and dancing on the streets of Raith if they'd known that.

What about this (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hibs-striker-leigh-griffiths-return-1752263) abuse of punctuation (not to mention the sheet stirring ahead of a derby) :rolleyes:

I had a good laugh reading this earlier too. Apparently Livi have also acquired a striker by the name of Scott Scougal...wonder if he's related to Stefan?

Also, Scougal didn't "bury his drive in the bottom corner" - his shot took a wild deflection and looped away from the keeper.

I read the report wondering if the reporter was even at the game TBH.

Why no mention of Ngoo and Wilson leaving HoMFC at the end of the season? Maybe because they are only 2 among many.

Eh? :confused: :greengrin Apologies, I thought you were referring to the ****** one I posted. They spelled Hibs as Hib's in the headline hence my 'clear' reply!

Should it not be a 12-month extension to Griffiths's contract since it's singular? (Genuine question)

Erm, :greengrin, I would say Griffiths' but I'm not 100% on that :wink:

:agree: In academic writing we're always told to do it this way (Griffiths's as opposed to Griffiths'). Only leave out the extra s if it's plural (eg: both players' contracts). But it definitely gets used both ways.

So would I.

I never spell it like Griffiths's or Hibs's.

It's always Griffiths' or Hibs' for me although I do think that either format is acceptable. :agree:

The way a comms person at work explained it to me is that it depends on how you would say it. e.g. Griffiths's would be spelt that way because you say Griffithses where as players' is pronounced players.
