Exposing the hypocrisy of journalists

I uphold the right of people to make an argument and be treated respectfully which has been highlighted by this issue, something that is entirely different with agreeing with their argument.

Um. I wasn't remotely thinking of you. I was referring to the press corps.

hmmmm from what I can make out....
  • City fan TV asked Rabin to do an Skype call/interview which was recorded but would not be shared. Rabin sort of said ok, or at least didnt object .
  • Half way through the call Rabin said why you recording this I am not comfortable and left
  • Rabin then tweeted he had been surreptitiously recorded by someone and that they were blackmailing him about his identity
  • Then City Fan TV released their side of events with "The" video to back it up (Though we havent see it yet to confirm their side of their story)
  • Then Twat Harris got involved by replying to City fan TV saying thanks for passing me the video with Rabins Identity.
  • I think we're all aware that City Fan TV didnt do that and Twat Harris is trying to drive a skewer between fan groups (He needs some feedback about that)

So, City fan TV are supposed to have the video of Rabin and I think theyre holding onto it because its the only proof they got of their side of things. Rabin wants it deleted I guess? I dont know....

/things might have changed whilst I was writing that!

Not sure anyone’s come out if this well but the upside is that Nick Harris came out easily the biggest bellend of all of them & has been scurrying around deleting tweets, one of which was calling for back-up from people like Castles, Delaney & that other deranged idiot Mckenna. So not the worst outcome.

The only way for Andy to salvage his credibility is by threatening Nick Harris with legal action. If he hasn't dm'ed him the tweet then Andy has every right to go after Harris - the editor of Sporting Intelligence with thousands of followers - for libel. If I was Andy, I'd be seeing a solicitor straight away, showing him all the reputationally harmful and threatening tweets he's received as a result of Harris's lies, and give the dirty little rat something to think about.

Sue him for Harrisment.

Agreed, for a "reporter" to do that was shite. I never seen the like and it shows the just how much snidyness they have. He should be careful, these are fans that he will meet one day

Andy needs to watch himself at the Etihad next season. He’s angered a lot of blues and it’s likely someone will take a pop at him in the flesh given half a chance

How come ? What bad thing has he allegedly done here ?

I'm trying to see both sides of the story here,and can't come up with any conclusions,although this Rabin is maybe an attention seeker ? I dunno,I might be wrong on that,but after watching Cityfan tv video this morning,he (Andy) comes across as a legit kind of guy. I see his sidekick has fucked off and started on his own as well now,dunno if any coincidence there neither.

I don't know Andy from Adam so I'm not best placed to comment but a fair few posters on here have had dealings with him and don't find him a particularly nice person. Anyone can come across as decent in a one-off video.....with the possible exception of Nick Harris!

To be succinct, Rabin has done some brilliant work in stopping the flow of shit against the club from a small group of journalists.

Andy’s dealings with him have led to him coming off twitter, or at least stopping these exposes of these journalists hypocrisy.

Had Andy not stuck his beak in here then Rabin would still be active. He isn’t, and some blues will see Andy as responsible for that.

I see what you mean when you put it like that,but who deep down gives a fuck what these tin pot journos say,especially on Twitter,just a bunch of jealous twats,although I can see why some get all defensive as well.

Truth is this Rabin should never have agreed to speak with the channel,he should of continued to carry on what he was doing,but was always gonna be eventually questioned as well I suppose.

Now whether this fan tv channel wanted it for some exclusive gossip.God knows,but it all seems to be a bit messy this lot.

I don’t know Ray and Andy but I was surprised at some of the grief I’ve seen Ray get on Twitter. Maybe it was his association with Andy. Anyway, it’s always a good idea in business to keep in your customers good books so that you retain their loyalty when times get tougher. That clearly hasn’t happened with Man City fans TV.

I can't access the website now (because it says connection isn't private) but I'm not sure if IPSO regulate Sporting Intelligence? Happy to be proved wrong but I suspect the only way for Andy to sort this situation out and win favour back with blues is if he acts on Harris's libel. If he doesn't, a lot of blues including me will have their doubts about whether he dm'ed him the video in the first place.

If we are talking about the same Nick Harris from Sporting Intelligence then their website is currently displaying the Sports Journalists Association logo in the top RH corner (Specialist Sports Website of the year, no less), then there is an option on the IPSO website to complain about an online publication.

If Harris has used any social media account associated with his website in this social media spat to either harass, bully or otherwise slander/libel someone, then IPSO can investigate.
