Naughty
ENGLAND goalkeeper Jordan Pickford used his water bottle as a crib sheet, to give details of where Columbian players prefer to place their spot kicks, it’s been claimed. Now, it’s cheeky, but it’s also clever. And it didn’t half pay off.
THE DONALD scored an own goal (again) this week when he went on Twitter to complain about how Fake News likes to “pour” over his Tweets looking for spelling mistakes. But of course the spelling should have read “pore”.
Nice
EASTENDERS hardman Danny Dyer is on his way to Majorca where he will meet up with the Love Island contestants, and his daughter Dani’s new boyfriend, Jack Fincham.
Daddy Dyer is said to be “over-the-moon” with his “gel’s” success and he took to Instagram to described her as a “proper bird”, which we can only assume is Cockney praise indeed.
NATALIE Dormer is wary of bandwagon-jumping, particularly with the clichéd call for “strong women” in scripts.
The star of BBC drama The Scandalous Lady W. says “I’m not a fan of the word ‘strong’. I think it’s very reductive. Let’s not just swing the other way. We want three dimensional anti-heroic women, the way we have anti-heroic men.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
