Andy Sinton's blast for modern players
Manager Andy Sinton has admitted frustration at the attitude of many modern footballers after missing out on a young loan target.Manager Andy Sinton has admitted frustration at the attitude of many modern footballers after missing out on a young loan target. Sinton had agreed a deal with a Football League club to sign a promising winger. But the player rejected the move because he was unwilling to drop into the non-League game, much to the AFCTelford United manager's exasperation. "A lot of the young lads today want to have their cake and eat it," said Sinton. "They're sometimes not prepared to make the sacrifices and put in the hard work. "They sign their first pro contract and get a nice car and they want everything handed to them on a plate." Read more in the Shropshire Star.

Modern comedy 'snubbed'
Black Country audiences are turning their backs on "aggressive" modern comedy in favour of traditional old-style entertainment, it was claimed today. Black Country audiences are turning their backs on "aggressive" modern comedy in favour of traditional old-style entertainment, it was claimed today. The comments come as a show by TV funnyman Jimmy Carr, pictured, still has hundreds of tickets unsold little more than a month before the performance. Town hall bosses described the caustic comic's appearance as a "coup" when it was first announced in April – but around 300 tickets are still available for the September show. The comedian's January gig at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall sold out within weeks of arriving in the box office. But the cooler reception for his Dudley show is in contrast to a rush to see traditional comedy in the town, where a show featuring more established stars such as Roy Hudd and Jimmy Cricket sold out last January. Legendary Black Country funnyman Tommy Mundon said he was not surprised at the amount of tickets left for the Jimmy Carr. "I think promoters tend to forget that Black Country people are very traditional in their tastes," he said. "I've tried to listen to these modern comedians, but it just bamboozles me and I think the same is true of most people from my generation. "They all seem too aggressive and negative nowadays and that is not what a lot of people want," Mr Mundon went on to say. Read the full story in the Express & Star.
