Sentivale double standards

[stubbo]

Picked up the early edition of todays said rag and found that on page two, stuck in the corner in an incospicuous column was a report of fans from a local football club (not Stoke) causing problems and arrests.

I asked a female work member where she thought the news may have been placed if it had bee about Stokies to which she replied 'On the front page at the very least'.

On picking up a few bits from Tesco I then saw the later edition of the rag with a different front-page concerning football trouble/hooligans. My thought was that this favourtism had been noted and that they had now moved the story to the front page. On going over to see what was reported it was a story of Stoke fans causing problems at Stoke Station as the Wednesday fans left for home.

Its bad enough that we have such a case for double standards but how can the rag print a story linking these people with a club playing hundreds of miles away. Are we going to know which football team all criminally misbehaving people support? What did such behaviour have to do with SCFC?
