Scooped! has teamed up with The News of the World - to produce special
edition spoof front pages for its army of readers.

Britain's No1 company for personalised newspaper and magazine gifts is
now working with Britain's best-selling Sunday newspaper to give YOU
the chance to appear on the front page of a spoof News of the World.

In Sunday's Scottish News of the World we gave readers the chance to
win one of three different spoof newspaper styles — a birthday,
wedding or work leaving front page — with ten lucky winners each
receiving a framed spoof News of the World front page.

Now, for a limited period, readers can buy a special edition News of
the World birthday, wedding or work leaving front page from just £25
by visiting http://www.makingthenews.co.uk/scottishnotw

This is just the latest breakthrough for Scooped! — earlier this year
we teamed up with The Sun to produce spoof newspapers for their
readers and you can still buy a spoof Sun birthday, wedding or
Father's Day front page by going to
http://www.makingthenews.co.uk/thescottishsun or
http://www.makingthenews.co.uk/theirishsun

The Sun and the News of the World have never before allowed an outside
company to use their famous mastheads but Scooped! is no ordinary company.

Our loyal customers already know that, for the first time, they can
buy a personalised newspaper or magazine front page gift that has been
written and designed by real journalists with real experience of
working in national newspapers.

While Scooped! has previously only used fictional mastheads - The
Scoop, The Daily Scoop, SCOOP! - we have now ensured that, for the
first time ever, News of the World readers can appear on the front
page of their favourite paper.

Scooped! director James McIvor - a former Sun chief sub-editor - said:
"It is fantastic that our company has been asked to write and design
spoof front pages for the country's best-selling Sunday newspaper.

"No other Sunday newspaper has ever given their readers the
opportunity to star on their front page so I am confident that the
concept will be well received by readers.

"We are giving away 10 framed front pages this time but readers can
also buy their very own birthday, wedding or work leaving front page
by visting www.makingthenews.co.uk/scottishnotw

"Already there has been huge interest and I expect that to continue
over the coming weeks.

"Scooped! has been going from strength to strength over the last
couple of months this is another huge breakthrough for us."

Subject: BREAKING NEWS: SPL to extend season
bty99943574

Send Email Send Email
 
THE Clydesdale Bank Premier League season will be extended by four
days to May 22 if Rangers reach the UEFA Cup final.

The Scottish Premier League have revealed two provisional fixture
lists, one which will be implemented if Rangers beat Fiorentina in
their European semi-final, and the other for if they are beaten by the
Italians.

Both fixture lists include a run of two SPL games in three days for
Rangers, who would have to play the Scottish Cup final two days after
their final league game if their European run continues.

If they miss out on the UEFA Cup final, which takes place on May 14 in
Manchester, Rangers must play St Mirren on May 13 and May 15.

That would allow the season to end on schedule, on May 18.

However should Rangers overcome Fiorentina those dates would become
unsuitable.

Walter Smith's side would instead face Motherwell on May 17, rather
than travel to Aberdeen the following day, which was due to be their
final game of the campaign according to the original fixture list.

They would then play St Mirren on Tuesday, May 20, and face Aberdeen
on Thursday, May 22 - two days before their Scottish Cup final date
with Queen of the South.

The other matches involving top-six sides - Dundee United v Celtic and
Hibernian v Motherwell - would also be played on May 22 to ensure the
season finishes for each club at the same time.

Because Fir Park would be required on May 17 if Rangers reach the
Manchester final, Gretna's final match would have to be moved and a
date of May 8 has been pencilled in by SPL chiefs.

Rangers' outstanding games against St Mirren and Motherwell presented
the SPL with their problem.

SPL secretary Iain Blair said: "It is well documented that this has
been an exceptionally challenging season in terms of fixturing.

"The combination of a number of diverse circumstances has produced
unparalleled scheduling problems.

"The publication of these two models now gives our clubs, their fans
and our broadcasting and other partners early notice of when these
games might be played.

"Our aim throughout has been to protect the integrity of our
competition, balance the interests of our member clubs and have regard
to player welfare and fixturing precedent. The models we have prepared
seek to discharge this aim.

"Both models reflect the fixturing complications the SPL has faced
this season.

"The first model will be adopted if Rangers FC fail to beat Fiorentina
in the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

"The second model exceptionally provides a modest extension to the
season to enable Rangers to represent the SPL and all of Scottish
football in the UEFA Cup final.

"It reflects the fact that the outstanding fixtures cannot reasonably
be played in the available time and will involve some disruption for a
number of our clubs.

"This model will involve moving the last round of top-six games to
Thursday May 22.

"It is clear that future requests for changes to our scheduled fixture
list will have to be compelling before approval is given."

Games have been postponed for varying reasons this season, with four
put back to later dates following the death of Motherwell captain Phil
O'Donnell in December.

Eight have been postponed due to waterlogged pitches; the two games
involving Rangers and Celtic ahead of Scotland's crucial Euro 2008
qualifier against Italy were called off after a Scottish FA request;
and Rangers succeeded in a request to have their SPL game against
Gretna postponed in December to afford them extra preparation time for
their Champions League game against Lyon.

Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a
desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is
only one.

Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having
used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".

Here are some classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters ...

Squirrels: The bushy-tailed little nut-eaters

Goat: The elderly, cloven-hooved nanny

Pretzel: The brittle or chewy glazed, usually salted, slender bread
often shaped like a loose knot

Tomato ketchup: The runny red favourite

This story, featured in the current edition of the Cumbernauld News,
is my favourite of the year so far.
It makes me laugh every time.

If you have recently lost a brown/black longhair cat with a red
collar, Cumbernauld woman, Elizabeth Nikplavovic, contacted the News
to say she had found one and wanted to put the owner's mind at rest.
Unfortunately, the cat had been hit by a car before Elizabeth found it
lying beside the Seafar ring road and it had to be put down. Elizabeth
is happy to speak to the cat's owner.

In case you hadn't noticed it is April Fool's Day today and it is a
newspaper tradition to throw a spoof story into their news section to
mark the occasion.

The one that caught my eye today was The Scottish Sun's report that
Glasgow Airport was to be re-named John Smeaton International after
'terror hero' Smeato.

I'm sick of the site of Smeato and the sooner he gets back to losing
holidaymakers' bags the better but this story is brilliant, especially
the line .. 'It's believed (BAA chiefs) took inspiration from New
York's JFK Airport - named after the legendary US President - and John
Lennon Airport in Liverpoo which honours the former Beatle.'

Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a
desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is
only one.
Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having
used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".
I came across this belter of a knobbly in yesterday's News of the
World ...

Tennent's Super - the super-strong syrupy lager loved by tramps and
trouble-makers.

My favourite intro of the weekend came from Jonathan Norcroft's
Newcastle/Fulham match report after Kevin Keegan's side recorded his
first win in God knows how long.
Branding the Geordies 'incorrigible optimists', he writes 'Knowing
Newcastle supporters, some are probably now dreaming of a late bid for
a European spot.'
Well, it made me laugh.

You can't beat a freebie with your morning paper but there's not a
great deal to choose from today. The Mail is clutching at straws by
offering the Babe DVD at 'just' £2.99 when you can probably buy it
online for that while The Express is looking after their
green-fingered readers with a free garden 'bumper pack' worth more
than £100. Wow!
