Another insensitive headline
The more l look at that headline the more l think it is like those about a pop star dead from an overdose or a self-asphysiated politician with an orange in his mouth.
I can think of no other reason for setting a headline out in that way but to upset people. The media recently try to upset our fans without thinking of the family.
Having a go at Pep who lost his own mother to Covid is another example.
 
SKY Sports News - Liverpool have said they will offer to lend Anfield for Covid vaccinations.

Erm... Haven’t City already done the same for testing and I’m pretty sure a friend of mine has already been offered a job to help with vaccines at the Etihad... radio silence.

Yep, my wife's boss has been reassigned to work at the Etihad helping to organise the vaccinations.

Just googled it and the only tag talking about it is one article, where it’s just mentioned alongside other sites, not in the sports section, in the Guardian (spits):


1. Manchester Etihad Campus

Reports say that up to 1,000 people a day are expected to be given their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine here

Yep I’ve had 3 or so tests at the Etihad over the past 5 months. We’re a community club though and we aren’t motivated to do it for the publicity unlike our scummy red friends who have to issue briefings for the little scraps they hand out.
 
You would wouldn’t you. I have obviously read it wrong but I am sure he stated that he hadn’t apologised.
I've just looked it up. In Bells autobiography and in an interview with the MuEN he states that the shit Buchan never visited him and never apologised.
(I added 'the shit' King Colin was too much of a gentleman to use that word)
 
Hope she’s the first to get it mate, going to be exposed to thousands
My wife doesn't want the jab.
Although she's NHS , she's not frontline but where she works there are people used to vaccinations programmes in schools, so they have a number of people redeployed.
 
Mike Sweeney show on Radio Manchester was very good. A tearful lady called who worked at City says she has a picture of Colin and her next to her bed but her husband doesn't mind!!

Interviews with Joe Royle, Buzzer, Jimmy Wagg, Dr Gary James, Kevin Parker were all good.

Whatever we think of the BBC Sweeney got the tone just right.
 
And the number (48)) was not enough for a player of Bell's standard, so maybe these 'journalists' should've used 'insufficient' rather than the inappropriate 'massive' (just as that useless twunt Jackson could easily have written 'a tackle BY (not ON) Martin Buchan')

Especially when you consider England show ponies such as Beckham and others getting many, many more caps.

George Best had it right when he evaluated Beckham (and others like him) as 'not good enough to lace my boots'. I have no doubt he would've included Colin Bell on his side of the equation because Bell was THAT good..
A show ponies can never as good as a thoroughbred
 
From my post history you'll never find me defending anything red but, I sure a few months ago when this was discussed recently someone posted a picture of Buchan at Colin's hospital bed.
Whether he visited him or not, Colin Bell talked about that tackle and said he saw Buchan coming and planned to move out of the way. But he got his foot caught in the turf so he couldn't avoid it and the way his leg was made it worse than it otherwise might have been.
 
Thing that gets me is how the fuck Jackson knows?
Never seen any footage of it & how old would he have been at the time?
I am sure he claims to have seen Duncan Edwards thinking everybody is stupid or mathematically-challenged or both.
I was taken as a primary schoolboy right at the top of the main stand with a load of boys peering over the wooden wall like the cartoon. Forgot the name and indeed most of the match, apart from the men in front talking about Edwards and to a greater extent about Scanlon putting a barmaid in the family way.
And of course they all claim to have seen this player and that player when TV coverage was rare and the picture awful.
Main qualification for a journo. Ability to lie.

That was just a publicity stunt though. I think it was Delaney who shamefully said that.
 
I think that was the Nightingale Hospital in London. Either way Delaney is a ****.
Sorry. I don't follow. What l am thinking of was when put the stadium facilities at the disposal of the NHS and one of the twitter clowns or perhaps Jordan called it a stunt. Perhaps my memory is playing up but quite agree Delaney and Co are a bunch of cunts.
 
A dirty rag **** through and through.

I remember being stood in the Boundary Park paddock during the Easter 2-2 draw with Oldham in 1984.

Buchan was playing for Oldham and clouted Parlane on the edge of the box. A big booming voice behind me called out "Buchan, you dirty bastard, you crippled Colin Bell, now you're trying to cripple Parlane!"
