AFKA - there is nothing wrong with posing the question that way and in fairness to CP if you read his response it is 100% supportive of BWP so the outcome was still the same.
He might be supportive of him but you've put the idea to him that the crowd aren't.
I have put the idea to him yes because that is what Danny Haynes hinted at on Tuesday. But uyou can see from CP's answer he is backing BWP totally and also (something which has got lost in this thread) he goes on to mention why he has confidence in all of his strikers despite their recent lack of goals.
News Shopper - "When I asked CP he wasn't aware of any boos". Why didn't you say that in the article? It's because it didn't serve your purpose which was to suggest that the fans are getting on BWP's back.
Surely you cant be missing the point NS? Its not CP's backing of the players that is the issue, but your damaging statement that the crowd aren't behind them.
By phrasing the question in a negative way you encourage the belief that we as supporters aren't right behind the team and are sounding out players who might be having a dip in form. By phrasing it like AFKA did you enforce a feeling of unity.
Addicted - the question wasn't phrased in the way you imply. I didn't say to CP 'Everybody is booing BWP. What do you have to say about that?'
It wouldn't have been a credible question as we are only talking about a small minority of people who have been moaning and groaning about BWP recently.
I've just listened back to my exact question and it was: 'Danny Haynes said after the game on Tuesday that people should lay off Bradley Wright-Phillips. What is your take on all that sort of stick he has been getting. I'm guessing you would back up (Haynes' supportive comments) as well?'
CP: Stick he has been getting?
Me: Apparently some pople have been moaning and booing about him because he hasn't scored for a while.
And then CP answers the question as quoted in the article.
But we have had a few, very few, posters on CL saying BWP is "lazy" "uninterested" "bad body language", " should be dropped" and that was even before the goal drought.
Some of our fans do slag him off. I had one standing behind me at Fulham.
Really don't see the problem with the article. The headline maybe as I can see that it framed as a negative but the article is fine IMHO
So you freely admit that you left out the bit where CP says
'What Stick?',
and open the article with
'CHRIS Powell has backed Danny Haynes’ suggestion fans should hold back on criticising Bradley Wright-Phillips after his recent barren spell in front of goal

There's an old woman in the West Upper that's always moaning at BWP, calls him lazy, says he walks like a stroppy teenager. I tell her to shut up all the time but she still carries on.

Question sounds like there's been lots of it (when in reality there's been next to nothing).
Apparently - So you don't know anything personally (yet write a lot of stories about CAFC and presumably attend games?) just heard a comment from someone else.
Some people - from "all that sort of stick" to "some people".
I like the NS but I'm with the moaners on this one. Crap story and reporting.

it's the "and Booing" bit , that is really annoying and factually wrong.
To be fair, isn't it part a journalists job to muck around and see if you can find something news worthy. Looks like the News Shopper has done it. I know its a pants paper and there have been some cretinous football pieces written lately but its not going to change anything other than stirring up a bit of trouble for Haynes, BWP and Powell. On that basis, we know exactly who's side the News Shopper is on - it aint ours, so you might as well clear off NS.
Can you really be serious? Haynes has obviously heard the boos as BWP went off Tuesday, mentioned it to another reporter so News Shopper has asked Powell his opinion and shared.
Just another advert for how picky some on here can be at times!
I've heard no booing where I sit but then again I'm surrounded by journalists. There have been people mention it to me though and didn't BWP leave Twitter as well?

However heard boos on Tuesday when he went off has been smoking crack!
Comments
I apologise
Fwiw I think people forget that NS is a reporter and just doing what everyone else would do in his situation. Especially no need to make it personal.
That can be do-able at some point Beds, I will bear that one in mind.
AFKA - I appreciate what you've said about the nastiness of the comments etc but honestly I'm not offended by any of it.
By phrasing the question in a negative way you encourage the belief that we as supporters aren't right behind the team and are sounding out players who might be having a dip in form. By phrasing it like AFKA did you enforce a feeling of unity.
Its not complicated
Good. I look forward to reading an article like that.

...
And still don't think you're twisting it?
have you heard the fans popping at BWP whilst at the games
because i havent,
I have suggested that he is tired on here and in need of a break, others have insinuated that he has a lazyness about his game
Your question shouldve been to Haynes why did you say such toot in your interview
Good. I look forward to reading an article like that.
Unless it's away support, then we're bang in trouble!
Have you heard any booing aimed at BWP?
'What is your take on all that sort of stick he has been getting'.
The use of 'all that' distorts the whole context of what you are saying you were trying to ask.
Maybe I should stop taking my Mum along with me!!
Woodward and Bernstein eat your hearts out...
It is as if you have misled with the story tbh,
which is disapointing imo
You've lost me there Plaaayer ?
