Media Thread 2020/21

I was outside the stadium when this happened. The Liverpool fans were baying for blood. I later spoke to a senior police officer near the turnstiles. He told me the police had been overwhelmed because of a "fuck-up by the higher-ups." He also said that a number of officers had been injured and the Liverpool fans had "behaved like animals." The incident was covered up. Merseyside Police are a disgrace and always have been. It is a cultural problem with that organisation. You saw the same thing outside the Pier Head last year.

Interesting to read that insight, cheers for posting.

Ah, but Murkyside plod were clearly not offended by the coach bricking so nothing to see. Let's move on.

Was anyone nicked when the rags coach was bricked at West Ham, an incident which many on here found amusing.

Last I remember they'd made 1 arrest and were looking for 4 others. Miles ahead of Merseyside Police.

They used horses to push us back into the walls while we were waiting & people were getting crushed. There was no trouble either so it's not like it was a tense situation. Just in case anyone needed convincing that Merseyside Police were a bunch of utter scumbags. Which they didn't.

There was a bad accident on the motorway that night. I got in approaching half time and got a parking ticket for my trouble.

My mates told me after the commentators were commenting that City hadn't even sold their end out because it was half empty at kick off.

I think we laughing more at Jlings filming it and acting smug about it?

I didn't see the bend but the whole thing was unprofessional. I felt sorry for the bobbies alongside the coach who were in the firing line just in their normal kit. It was negligent because the whole thing was foreseeable and the senior officers failed in their duty of care to City, to their own officers even to those watching on. There were messages on the Internet and fastened to lamp posts in the old fashioned way exhorting dippers to give a 'special' welcome and the intention was to put City of their game.
And of course there was little criticism in the media. As usual l ask what would have happened if the Liverpool bus had been in a similar situation at the Etihad.

Here it is

Their backpedalling offends me.

Here it is

"It says it all"

Yes it does.

"I hope the world can see this"

The media made sure they didn't.

Exactly, so why isn’t the Emirates, St James, Villa Park, Everton on the list of empty stadiums with no fans? It doesn’t make sense

It makes sense if you know fuck all about football.
