Title: Sam Morshead Post by: JayBox325 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:17:39 For those not on Twitter. Sam Morshead is no longer covering Town.
Such a shame:https://sammorsheadjourno.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/saying-goodbye/ Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Quagmire on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:22:35 Maybe you could do a banner for tommorow night to say goodbye?
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Red and Proud on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:23:31 It could be argued that under the new media system employed by STFC no one covers the town anymore.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: EldeneRed on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:24:17 This is a sad day indeed. Sam will be a real loss.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Costanza on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:28:21 The Total venture was always a massive gamble and, frankly, was never going to last.
Morshead has been an asset for our club news. I hope he gets a good gig elsewhere. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: horlock07 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:31:15 Sad times and I hope that Sam gets something sorted soon, probably been the best local reporting we have had in recent times both in terms of content but also his grasp of English!
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Panda Paws on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:33:28 With the plummeting standards at the Adver and complete lack of quality at Flic, the market was very crowded but the one quality product is ceasing - a real shame.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Bewster on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:35:30 Shame indeed. Sam's tweets were my new ceefax.
Bets wishes Sam - hope it works out. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:36:22 Perhaps he could get a job as Power's PR man
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: JayBox325 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:36:34 Perhaps he could get a job as Power's PR man :clap: :clap: Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Berniman on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:47:28 Hopefully we will see Sam on here now more as a bog standard fan, now that he is not involved in the club any sort of official capacity he can start dropping down to everyone else's level and giving his own view on things going on, and start calling posters things that he was unable to do while he had his professional hat on (he did manage to brand Chang the ITK poster, even if indirectly). He is one of us now, including being a contributor to our Kasim Player sponsorship club...
Welcome to not biting your tongue and posting like us bunch of muppets now Sam. Good luck with your next challenge.. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:49:20 I'd better download Fanzai as soon as possible

Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, September 28, 2015, 11:46:29 This is a genuine shame. We've been quite spoilt with Morsehead and Gary Rose covering the team for the last few years.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Costanza on Monday, September 28, 2015, 11:53:34 The Total rethink means that I don't have to follow Danny Gallagher, who provided my timeline with far too many opinions on Liverpool.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, September 28, 2015, 13:04:09 Hate to think the 'Power stance' had anything to do with it
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Power to people on Monday, September 28, 2015, 13:06:28 Sam will still be doing articles...for Washbag I expect
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: FreddySTFC! on Monday, September 28, 2015, 13:48:46 Cos I can't be arsed to research it I'm assuming Total Sport has ceased trading then???
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Power to people on Monday, September 28, 2015, 14:03:42 Read Sam's statement
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 14:19:30 Bring back Gary Rose! :-)
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, September 28, 2015, 14:29:28 I am going to miss Sam's twitter updates on matchdays :(

Tansmedia it is Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, September 28, 2015, 15:07:16 Fanzai should sign him up. Only way they'll ever get any fan migration to that thing is to have the feed run by a trusted local journo.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Power to people on Monday, September 28, 2015, 15:17:52 What will we do for genuine confirmed news though - ADS seems to believe anything, BBCRS just report what Power wants them to and the adver and banned and don't seem to know how to investigate anything
Morshead will be missed TansMedia it is then Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: ronnie21 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 15:24:12 The Total rethink means that I don't have to follow Danny Gallagher, who provided my timeline with far too many opinions on Liverpool.

He seems to have all the legit contacts in the footballing world, too. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: tans on Monday, September 28, 2015, 16:02:39 Sam wanted a contract made out of salami to work for Tansmedia, this is what was offered.
Still waiting a response.

Not really what I wanted.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, September 28, 2015, 16:08:57 partially covered at that!
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: tans on Monday, September 28, 2015, 16:16:28 I was hungry

You drive a hard bargain, you really do. Are you female? Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Sam Morshead on Monday, September 28, 2015, 16:46:05 I'll check.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Red Frog on Monday, September 28, 2015, 16:51:18 I'll check. Thorough research, sign of a good journo. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Ticker45 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 17:07:24 This is not good news in many respects, SM being a fan of the Town as well as a journo is a little unusual and always got the feeling he balanced the information nicely.
I still get the Adver but not holding out for any change in relations between it and the Town so I guess it will be down to rumour and those with "inside knowledge" for us to get any salient facts in the forseeable future. Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Skinny Pete on Monday, September 28, 2015, 17:08:56 So, come on Sam, spill whatever beans you have
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Sam Morshead on Monday, September 28, 2015, 18:11:15 I'm quite a tidy person... nah, that's bollocks. Let me get a job first.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: ronnie21 on Monday, September 28, 2015, 18:14:06 Sam's gone cos he promised the BBC an exclusive about Tans performing certain actions in the centre circle - now the BBC are suing Total Sport because Tans chickened out!
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, September 28, 2015, 19:43:12 Good riddance to the worst so-called journo to ever grace local media.
Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Ells on Monday, September 28, 2015, 21:28:19 That's sad, not just because he won't be reporting but because he's so right about the state of journalism.
Good luck Sam Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Sam Morshead on Monday, September 28, 2015, 22:10:59 Good riddance to the worst so-called journo to ever grace local media.

Bloody harsh, Bassam is awful - Sam is/was a decent model for a local journo!Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, September 29, 2015, 09:50:54 I think SY was being sarcastic.

Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Power to people on Tuesday, September 29, 2015, 12:31:09 I wonder if Power threw a party last night once he heard the news about SM one less face for the dartboard I expect.
Nobody left to ask awkward questions when required Title: Re: Sam Morshead Post by: Flashheart on Monday, October 5, 2015, 21:10:49 Well at least the new guy is a Liverpool fan and likes to talk about Liverpool. A lot. Which is great news if you're a Liverpool fan.

Surely the point being missed here - by some distance - is that Total Sport is a local news outlet. It isn't their job to be reporting on national sports stories. There are thousands of others covering that angle already. I would no more want to read a Liverpool FC story on Total Sport than I would want to buy my next TV from the local newsagent.
