Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[KingCarlito]

Funny timing then, he's been anything but lacklustre recently.

He's been in good form under Solskjaer. But I was under the impression he was referring to media criticism in the past, apologies if wrong.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

The Sun I would imagine, although both those papers are racist pieces of shit.

but probably the best sports journalists. Always liked the Mail sports coverage. Don't buy papers anymore though

 

[Original Halifax.]

Why dont Bt sport just fuck off and leave us alone for a change. Bunch of ****s!

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Why do BT sport allow someone like cockwomble Hartson to start the whole Sterling hatred campaign... No way did Sterling dive. He did nothing that any other player in that position. This is exactly why Sterling is hated, dinofuckingsaurs like Hartson creating agenda's

Hartson says he dived,cue the hate again

He's biased. It was a clear penalty.

He's biased. It was a clear penalty.

True, was showing a lot of emotion, their manager was very good at complimenting us even after what had just happened. Seemed a decent bloke.

Hartson opening up the debate on Sterling diving again , utter bollocks the Swansea lad played the ball but got a piece of Sterling after , its a clear penalty , Raheem is moving at such speed the slightest touch will send most players off balance , just because you get the ball 1st doesnt mean its not a penalty , Hartson is old school and should stick to kicking his team mates like Berkovic in the head , twat.

The hate against us tonight was operating at its optimum. F*cking ridiculous.

Can someone remind me, when did we lose a goal this season through a player literally punching it in with his fist? Remember it happening but can’t remember the game.

Wolves away

Wolves away

And was it being questioned as heavily as today’s slight left foot?

 

[ballinio]

Evens out over a season

 

[exiled-blue]

To be fair Sterling didn't lok like he expected a penalty

 

[The perfect fumble]

And was it being questioned as heavily as today’s slight left foot?

I remember Shearer commenting that it was clearly a handball goal but Wolves deserved to get something from the game, which of course is a big slice of prime bullshit.

I don’t think Sterling dived
But I don’t think
It was a penalty either
As for the third goal.....you rode your luck tonight

 

[blueparsman]

Don’t get me wrong I thot there’s was a penalty but how the fook he ended up flying threw the air from delphs wee touch. Trampeze artist

I saw it the same way but the narrative will be different as far as Sterling is concerned. The offside wasn't miles offside, like BT were trying to claim, I don't recall them being quite as miffed in the West Ham vs Liverpool game. You can't say they were the worst ref mistakes in the world by any stretch, both were quite close calls and it seems VAR was needed after all.

I think BT forgot how under the cosh Swansea were after Bernardo scored, the equalizer was a matter of time. The winner might have had to be in extra time and that's what City can do without at the moment. The best team won on the night though, sounds like the Swansea manager agrees with that.

I didnt think it was a penalty and Kun was offside.

That said i thought on the balance of play and chances we deserved the win.

 

[It could have been 10]

If the Swansea defender did get a touch on the ball it was the most featherlite touches, just about grazed the ball with his boot so to me it was a clear penalty.
