16 is the number printed on the front of the Johnny Hero (one of the earliest action figures) jogging suit

There is a road called the A16

They've even shown Diskin's sponsor as Red Amber &Black!!

That's quick work - anyone know who has the "007" shirt - we could do with an enforcer

Looks like their going with mass hallucination excuse for numbers announced at presentation evening then

.

Giants again at Magic weekend,going on last seasons league table that's 1 v 9,that's good

What? That the Bulls squad appears on the Bulls Squad page?





It was and remains an embarrassment - the numbers still do not all correspond to the shirts that the players were presented with) - it is hardly a "molehill". But nobody has built it up into a "mountain" either, a number of people have pointed out and commented on the confusion, and rightly so. What's your problem?

Well, yeah. Seen as that's what you were complaining about. So much so that it was apparently a disgrace to have to look through the news entries just because they weren't on the squad page yet.



An "embarrassment"? An "insult to players and staff"? Bit over dramatic don't you think? So somebody has made a typo on either the list given for the squad numbers for the e-mail or haven't had chance to finish the page on the website yet. Is it really that big of a deal. I mean, what difference does it actually make? You'er right, it's hardly a molehill. A molehill would look like a mountain compared to this.

You won't win.

He wont. Pedantic Dickheads come to mind

I have found the mountain: Wikipedia says that Elliot Kear is 5'2" tall and 23 stone!!! A new mobile prop in case MM doesnt get a visa

You (deliberately) miss the point that the list in "news" wasn't the same as the shirt presentation evening, so looking in "news" would only add to confusion. You say it was a "disgrace"; it wasn't, it just wouldn't help you to know what the real numbers were.


Don't think anyone could argue that it wasn't. Presenting numerous players with shirts which turn out not to be their numbers? That's not embarrassing? Why are you even trying to argue that? I don't get it.


If anybody had said that then yes. Nobody did, though.

One person [idid [/isay "if I'm honest, a bit of an insult to both players and fans". The context, and the wording, makes it clear that I wasn't seeking to overplay it. A pretty mild, qualified, and fair rebuke. Not even a bit "dramatic". You deliberately tried to cut out the words that don't suit, so you could pretend I made more of it than I did. Ironically, you can't even quote correctly - I never mentioned "staff".

It was what it was, and now they fixed it. There's only you trying to go on and on.

And [iI'm[/i the [id[/iickhead?

I didn't deliberately miss anything. You were the one who seemed so aggrieved about the fact that the squad page hadn't been updated and that alternatively someone would have to look up the news article instead. That was my point, was it really such a big deal to have to look somewhere else in the meantime?



An incident that brought the club into disrepute would be an embarrassment. Putting a wrong number up on a screen, not so much. In my opinion anyway.



That one was indeed my mistake, and so I apologise my mistyping it (staff instead of fans). God forbid typos should ever occur. Still, I don't seen how it was an insult, or "a bit of an insult" if were being that fussy, just because somebody made a mistake either at the presentation evening or on the e-mail. Obviously none of us can speak for the players, but as a fan, I wasn't insulted by it in the slightest. It's a mistake, they happen, as I just inadvertently showed





I stated my opinion, you replied and I replied to you. It's called a conversation. Hardly going on and on that. Anyway, like you said, it is what it is, obviously we shall have to agree to disagree.

So let me get this straight there is an argument brewing about the club not updating the squad list very quickly???

Looks like it. To be fair though FA could have an argument in an empty room.

No he couldn't.

Just once I'd like it if you stopped being a joke and a disgrace.

That sort of thing is a disgraceful joke.

Therefore, I say you are Frankie Boyle and I claim my £5

No, people wouldn't know to dig out a news article, and there shouldn't be different squads on different pages, and the squad in the article was different from the squad at the shirt presentations.


It turns out (well, so we think) that the wrong shirts were presented, from 16 onwards. It's silly to pretend that's not at least a little embarrassing, and you know it.


Wrong. This is a forum not a private chat, and I was not the only person to think it was embarrassing. And this is your 753rd post about it in the thread, so on any view, you ARE going on and on.

But, I give you permission to have the last word, as I'm totally bored with it now.

Whoever does the website/media releases obviously needs to double check their articles anyway.

If you look at the announcement of the squad for Dewsbury [url=http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/article/8838/squad-named-for-rams-clashhere[/url, the article says "First-team regulars......are to be joined by youngsters including Adam O'Brien......". Similarly, there's another story interviewing O'Brien saying he's looking forward to the game.

But if you actually read the 20 names announced for the squad, in the same article I've quoted above, Adam O'Brien's name isn't even there.

I think I'll hang on until the opening game and the squad list should be on the programme......, though, of course, it might or might not be the correct one.

Obrien definitely isn't playing. Seems an decision to publish article on website as if he was.

Indeed. [url=http://www.bradfordbulls.co.uk/news/article/8842/obrien-ready-for-dewsbury-dualThis one[/url for those who didn't see it. Article put up this morning.



Except that he wasn't. And isn't playing.


All very odd really. Far from the end of the world, but it does look a bit amateur, especially the original article that said he was in the squad, but didn't list him (in the very same article).
