Anybody bother to purchase one this week - I refused to!!  Just wondering how much prominence was given to the apology from them?

Hang on ron, will post in a sec

fair play to him.

For me it still leaves a nasty taste. Would have been more polished to say that the club had recieved "damages" in the form of a donation to the Wiltshire air Amulance charity.

Dish the dirt then say sorry. Gonna take me a while to forget his name in association with this attack.

It takes balls to admit you are wrong sometimes.

So fair play for that.

One thing it does show is that us as fans and the club will not be messed with.

Surely this hack only wrote a retraction, because he was forced to...ergo he deserves no credit whatsoever.

He was not forced to....he could have resigned from his job and let the paper carry the can.

He fucked up....hes apologised along with the paper....Swindon Town are happy with that...a charity has benefited to the tune of £500...

He apoligised to the fans also....will i buy the paper...no.
Is he a twat....probably.
Is there more to life than worrying about people like him...most deffo.

Lets move on.

I place a hex upon him and his spawn.

Like it

My thoughts as well leefer!

No, it takes the real threat of a hiding in the libel courts......in this case.

It should be as prominent as the original piece which it clearly is not.

All this talk of a crusade against insolvency is a sack of shit and misdirection. If so, it would have mentioned other clubs and included Town within the wider piece not have the whole fucking article about the Town. Also, it was based on one comment taken out of context. The guy si a fucking pillock and the editor is no better.
Its nothing to do with over enthusiasm and crusades - its about a journalist and editor fucking up in a libellous manner and then trying to get out of the shit, they created by their own stupidity and shodinness. 

Not really, 95% of people who buy this paper wont give a shit about this

Totally agree

That may well be true but is hardly the point.

In fairness I'm happy with the retraction and the size as the apology is about as big as I've seen before. It'll do. Maybe, just maybe Dunlavy might be a bit more diligent in future.

They've been good to us for the last few years, we get lots of coverage in there. He fucked up and has apologised, good enough for me.

And me.....they could of been in denial which would of really fucked me off!

Probably won't buy the paper again though..

Move on.

Apology accepted...time to move on as Flash says, hope he has learned from his error.

It's an apology under pressure, nothing more and a hollow one to save their arses from getting sued

he still looks like 'tucker' jenkins

Mumbo, Jumbo :hmmm:
