Well done Guardian. Coverage and updates were miles ahead of SSN and BBC Sport.

Specimen A · « **Reply #121 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:50:58 pm »

Been very impressed its been good to finally get clear cut updates instead of just rumours

Good coverage from the Guardian / Busfield. Surprised the Beeb weren't live blogging too - they'll do text coverage of Andy Murray's first round matches in whatever tinpot tournament he happens to be playing in, but seemingly can't be arsed for something like this. It says how much interest there was in it that the traffic crashed the Guardian website.

From "The Guardian"

from the guardian

2.18pm: There's a very nice thread running on the RedAndWhiteKop website: Thank you Guardian. Well, thank you to all who have read/commented/emailed/tweeted/contributed to this blog.

Is the end of this saga in sight?

Adonis the Handsome · « **Reply #124 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:00 pm »

Have to agree- well done to all concerned- coverage was excellent - big well done to all

camelialfc · « **Reply #125 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:12 pm »

Thank you so much

your coverage was perfect to understand what was going on especially for me living in Paris Just had to wake up turn the Guardian page on with tweeter to know what was going on! Merci

graffspider · « **Reply #126 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:38 pm »

I'm betting there have been more than a few converts to Twitter during the takeover saga - so many great accounts to follow. Unfortunately, there's so much to follow that it's difficult to get any work done

Doc Evil · « **Reply #127 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:40 pm »

Agreed - a reliable source of all the pertinent information over the last 3 days for me, and the best single point of contact to know what's going on whilst you're at work (RAWK only when I'm at home though!!)

Good mix of all the best tweets updates, reporters, court coverage, expert opinion etc.
Also had the decency to selectively print the best emails (of which there must have been thousands!!)

They've hoovered up a lot of info from around the web and sorted through the crap for us!!

I've been using that and Twitter as my primary sources during the day and here and Twitter in the evenings. Well done lads and lasses at the Guardian - show those Red Tops how it's meant to be done!

StiffieGee · « **Reply #128 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:52 pm »

I've been relying on their exellent coverage to flesh out the remarks of the twittering class. Thanks, Guardian!

Paul JH · « **Reply #129 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:53:55 pm »

In a blatant attempt to get mentioned on the Guardian website, I'd like to buy all of them a pint for their excellent coverage ...
(offer can't be redeemed after they've read the end of this bit in brackets)

montysmum · « **Reply #130 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:54:41 pm »

I would like to add my thankyou as well. This has been a constant source of up to date, intelligent and easily understood information on what has been going on.

Thanks to all

boyham · « **Reply #131 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:54:44 pm »

Agree

Well done and thanks for first rate coverage

Rikz · « **Reply #132 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:54:58 pm »

Great effort by Guardian! I don't have a F5 key any more

cydonia · « **Reply #133 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:55:11 pm »

I'd like to extend my thanks to The Guardian too

The Guardian is probably the best paper in the country btw. The Guardian and the Indie...

anything else is either right-wing, toilet roll, or a politicised comic book!

bclfc · « **Reply #134 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:55:27 pm »

Been glued to RAWK and the Guardian website for several days, will be hard to stop! Thanks, Guardian, you're a star...

Livjam · « **Reply #135 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:55:51 pm »

Hands down the best coverage during the roller coaster that has been the last few days.

Now a big fat good bye to G+H

dom lfc · « **Reply #136 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:56:08 pm »

Yes same here,think the guardian was good for news and coverage,I was using them and dan roan on twitter (although looked like he fell asleep afew times as it took a while to update)

lostpet. · « **Reply #137 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:56:41 pm »

excellent coverage, miles ahead of SSN, the BBC and most others.

Nice one

CJW17 · « **Reply #138 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:57:45 pm »

It's completely true. Very good post.

Would have been totally lost without it.

parallax · « **Reply #140 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:59:20 pm »

Guardian coverage was not totally shite, I guess. I was surprised.

Musketeer Gripweed · « **Reply #141 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:59:33 pm »

It's kept me sane (ish) for the last couple of days.

Thanks.

They're no Sky Sports News though to be fair.

SKY SPORTS

garcia-alonso · « **Reply #144 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:00:13 pm »

Yes, the Guardian blog was great. Thanks a lot. God knows why some people were watching ssn instead.

Jimmy Conway · « **Reply #145 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:00:15 pm »

To be fair to Dan Roan, he has to present updates on BBBC News channels too. Plus he was tweeting well into the late hours etc.....

As mentioned by earlier poster. I discovered the true benefits of Twitter this week.

The shite was just kept at bay for a while :-)

(I know thats obviously an opinion piece)

Seriously, good coverage of events. Nice one

Anfield_Turf · « **Reply #147 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:01:26 pm »

Yeah fantastic effort. Congratualtions to Steve Busfield for such an excellent job. This has been as stressful as a derby match, couldn't have coped without the stream of info.
Cheers

fcbruno · « **Reply #148 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:01:33 pm »

Well done Guardian. Was very helpful.

Cid · « **Reply #149 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:04:32 pm »

Half the people on here can't even bring themselves to thank Purslow for the part he has played and now we're sending gratitude to a news agency for reporting the news?

Nah.

DarrenKaye · « **Reply #150 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:04:48 pm »

Indeed. I extend the hand of friendship to the Guardian.

little_fee · « **Reply #151 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:05:56 pm »

Excellent running coverage throughout. The associated articles have also been a good read and on the whole quite accurate, unlike some of the claims from the rest of the press

decisivemoment · « **Reply #153 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:06:55 pm »

It's a great example of what news coverage actually should be, and a great example of online journalism. Now, if they can just house-train Barry Glendenning and stop their LibDem cheerleading, their redemption will be complete.

Zverko · « **Reply #154 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:07:26 pm »

Thanks Guardian, I was refreshing your live blog like a mad man last few days.

Lets just hope its finally over now.

Skuzzlebutt · « **Reply #155 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:09:00 pm »

Been brilliant, and lets not forget Veinticinco de Mayo for keeping us updated yesterday. He went up a notch in my book.

That puts him on notch 1.

Cam · « **Reply #156 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:09:40 pm »

They've been brilliant.

I felt on Tuesday that it was a shame the UK courts don't have TV access - but I don't think we've missed a thing with The Guardian's MBM and various twitter feeds from the likes on Panja & Roan.

It's been the best match thread in years. Who'd have thunk it - a 4-day MBM about a bloody court case.

Nessy76 · « **Reply #157 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:10:25 pm »

For a paper that started out life as the "Manchester Guardian" this was good service to the cause of LFC, Liverpool supporters, football lovers and law geeks everywhere, above and beyond the call of duty.

Good game lads.

newsox · « **Reply #158 on:** October 15, 2010, 03:12:29 pm »

really well done for some top notch journalism
