Only if the compass needle is a penis pointing right at him.

Smailes HDM maybe being professional? Even im chuckling at that. Looking at both issues and past stories run it's not consistent journalism which is what Mascord was getting at..

Which past stories are these?

You'll notice its actually the HKR reporter for the HDM that has done the article on this and it was put online after Cas had issued their statement so totally different situtation.

Kelly whilst with us (no police involvement).Cockayne then Cockayne /Watts.
Then the statement it was an editorial decision not to run the Kelly story by Smailes who is avid FC fan.You can't have it both ways or at least I thought not? Running the Cas story smacks of a journalist who has forgotten the meaning of his post. On an aside if you read my earlier comments when this first cropped up I wasn't overly offended by what he did personally but I am very surprised in current climate his sexist rant hadn't attracted more condemnation?

Don't worry Craig, I'm sure your mate The Reason will carry on his crusade to have Albert deported.

He's no mate of mine.I was firmly of the opinion he was the HDM troll Eddy who wasn't adverse to making alias accounts and actually arguing with himself and has form for copy and paste jobs. Seems to have gone into turbo mode now but I have him on ignore so only see quotes. Hopefully the Catalans female fans will take retribution on Steel Panther wannabe Alby and stone him with Chicken nuggets on Saturday

I think local papers are in a difficult position in fairness - they're reliant on the clubs for stories, but in the modern era clubs are much less reliant on the papers for publicity, with their own websites and social media presence. There are a few cases in football of local papers being banned from clubs, where the two have not seen eye-to-eye. Obviously the Yorkshire Post, (national) Daily Mail and Aussie press don't have to worry about Hull FC's attitude to them so much.

Approval might not quite be the right word, but the HDM will be keen to maintain both a good working relationship [iand[/i their independence - which will be a tricky balance. While they've reported Rovers stuff more fully in the past, we don't know the extent to which Rovers 'approved' that approach. There may well be stories about Rovers players that they took the editorial decision not to cover as well - and in the absence of something like a video flying around on social media, we never knew.

The slightly strange thing with this is that everybody who cared knew, so there couldn't be a meaningful cover up, only the appearance of an incompetent attempt at one. Rather than verifying the details, they could have just written a brief story with caveats, and a 'we've approached Hull FC for comment'. While Smailes' RL orientation isn't in any doubt, the simplest explanation is probably that they struggled to get their ducks in a row with the club over a weekend and made a bit of a bum of it as a result.
