thats all a bit bollocks. Twitter is a mix like any facet of life. You have morons and you have cults and you have people with common sense and then you have football geniuses like @Prestwich_Blue who is an active twitter user and fights the good fight on that forum very effectively. I use twitter to find out about stuff. If you are sensible about the source material it is a treasure trove of information.People who use Twitter aren’t the sort of people who’ll read a full report on a court case from another club.
Twitter football fans can barely string a sentence together. They don’t even understand the CAS press release from Monday that’s only just over one page long... or they don’t want to!
The press and social media set the narrative five minutes after the statement of Not Guilty came out and, unfortunately, across most of football’s fans, forever more, we will be known for “getting away with it”.

I tried to make this point the other day. That fanbase should be more supportive of us than any other.
Everything they think they know about this case has come from the media. It is either nonsense written in a newspaper, or some know-nothing giving his/her opinion on the TV or radio. Its a bloody good job that the laws allowed them to defend themselves against the nonsense written and said about them after Hillsborough. They suffered trial by media and had to campaign for years to get justice. Fans from all other clubs including City supported them throughout. I am in no way suggesting what we are dealing with is on the same level, it isn't. However, the trial by media aspect is the same and Liverpool fans cant wait to align themselves with the media. These fuckers will be back buying The Sun if they really lay into us.
Not arsed about them being supportive,as such.
Its football,so expect opposition fans winding each other up.
Its the complete absence of any balance and willing to believe any old shit written or dreamed up in their own fevered imagination that gets me.
Weird fuckers.
You’d have thought having evidence that is in no way valid would be a bit of a sticking point when bringing a case. But no, you’d be wrong.
Also note how he uses the exact same words as Klopp, ex-Dortmund. Shows how they are all colluding, whispering, to bring this smear campaign upon us.
Never forget that Dortmund were mouthing off about City way earlier than Bayern were; from when we drew them in the CL.
These are the German Liverpool.
"Celebration should be forbidden " might be my new favourite phrase! So bitter, so arrogant, so German
We'd appeal that ban and win that too!

I was told Alastair Campbell was behind it, which would figure.I have contacts in the thick of Burnley and they 100% were driving this on Liverpool’s behalf.

Oh I'll certainly be heading back for a final visit at some point soon. I do have a login there. I thought they'd banned me after my last outburst but it still worked a little while back.@Prestwich_Blue
I mean this light-heartedly - but if you ever decide to make a visit to RAWK to discuss the situation with them please let me know so I can spectate for the 3 or 4 posts that you will be allowed before being banned - there is no tolerance of inconvenient truths.
You may have previously been told - but you are something of an 'arch-enemy' over there - I don't visit more than once a month or so, but I have seen your name mentioned on numerous occasions - sorry to say, not in the politest of terms - but you will not be surprised.
You have really gotten under their skin;-)
I would like to observe that lol - I heard you referred to a couple of weeks ago - you had previously proper rattled them;-)Oh I'll certainly be heading back for a final visit at some point soon. I do have a login there. I thought they'd banned me after my last outburst but it still worked a little while back.
Was it the spitmeister a few years back that rang Talk Sport and harangued one of their presenters for having the temerity to criticise him. How dare the presenter use his position unfairly, not allowing any redress. I heard the playback on here and it was like listening to a school of dolphins...as soon as he states that "disagreeing with the rules is no justification for obstructing investigators", you just know that he's ignoring facts in favour of talking out of his shitter... saved me having to bother reading the rest of it though, so thanks for that you squeaky voiced nork.

It’s a good job you don’t live in Oslo. The moderators would’ve torched your house by now.

What a week this has been in the rise and rise of Manchester City Football Club. We've won a very big battle but the war continues unabated. No doubt the cowards with the ability of orchestrating this smear campaign and ongoing hatred of our Club are still skulking in the shadows and will be back for more. I hope we remain vigilant.

Takes one back to the 1930s Germany. Some of them never change.

Extract:
Very good analogy.... Its a strange attitude to take from sections of a fanbase that were accused of something by the media,and a whole host of others,that they were later cleared of...
@projectriver I don't know if you said this or someone else, but is it true that UEFA's time-bar is built around EU law and limitation periods?
So these are not arbitrary rules, they actually make UEFA comply with EU law, because if UEFA tried to take action against someone outside the EU limitation period, a club could just appeal to an EU court and have it thrown out, the same way Bosman overruled FIFA/UEFA rules?
If this is true it feels like a fairly significant talking point that City should be putting out there to silence the technicality/"UEFA let them off with shitty rules" narrative.

not me and likely Swiss not European law but statutes of limitation exist in every territory. This idea that this is some odd quirk Of FFP or UEFA is typically laughable
