Tonights main story on Yahoo UK and Ireland was about England getting beat at football.

The first line said "despite a promising start by our boys".

As the site is called Yahoo UK and Ireland, why does the storyline say this. Does anyone from Scotland, Wales, Or Ireland really think of the England team as "our boys" ?

  1. yeah but come on scotland, wales and lreland are worse than England


  2. You are right.

    Sloppy journalism probably written by someone in California

  3. The sloppy journalism doesn't originate in California.

    BBC Northern Ireland is supposed to be a regional station to cater for the need of Northern Ireland. Yet during all Rugby international matches, if an England tie is about the same time as an Irish tie, the English tie will be given priority.

    It's not uncommon either on BBC NI to watch a weather forecast, where clouds may be hanging over Southern Britain but not over Northern Ireland, to hear the forecaster complaing about awful weather "we" are having.
