Keegan resigned early before they had chance to stick the knife in. They never forgave him that. SGE got some sort of scam job offer just before a tournament? England "fan" managed to get into dressing room after bad World Cup result? Turned out he'd been "lent" a press pass? Lowest form of life!Very true, I can't stand BFS and his brand of football but the way he was set up by the Telegraph was a disgrace. They pushed, badgered and refused to leave him alone until he agreed to a dodgy deal. They are sewer rats.
Oh come on thats a little harsh on sewer rats.Very true, I can't stand BFS and his brand of football but the way he was set up by the Telegraph was a disgrace. They pushed, badgered and refused to leave him alone until he agreed to a dodgy deal. They are sewer rats.
Wish I could like that twice mate!Nice to see the groundswell of opinion calling out the media for setting the tone of this country. Most of what I see is what has been happening in USA for years, its all hate and negativity pitting us against each other. Though I never realised the power of the media in shaping the nations thoughts, there are an amazing amount of people who just believe what they're told, they believe the emotions that are given by the negative media and they go out and act upon them, then the media report on that! Its all an insidious circle and the only winners are the "newspapers" and their owners who pit us against each other. I fkin hate them

Hypocrites.
Good post, the middle ground opinion of most decent people seems to get ignored just for headlines made by those that are far right, left wing, anti vaxers etcNice to see the groundswell of opinion calling out the media for setting the tone of this country.

Nail on the head. Most people are in the middle ground but they have been discarded in all the noise from the left and right.Good post, the middle ground opinion of most decent people seems to get ignored just for headlines made by those that are far right, left wing, anti vaxers etc
It's like the BBC with Matt Hancock. I'm in no way condoning what he did and I'm just using this as an example of the power of the media. For the BBC to say on the Friday prior to his resignation (Laura Kuenssburg I think, and I'm paraphrasing here) "It's about public opinion. If enough people contact their local MP's and express their anger then Hancock will have to resign", they were essentially saying ring your MP to get him sacked. The BBC could quite easily have said (rightly or wrongly) that Hancock had apologised and the matter had been put to bed and left it at that and Hancock would still be in a job.Nice to see the groundswell of opinion calling out the media for setting the tone of this country.

Blue. Feel the same. I used to buy a range of Sunday papers in the 90s and spend a few days reading Before binning. Beyond the sport sections I always felt I was actually learning something along the way. Now even the old mid range papers are just sensationalist and hollow crap. You do wonder how dumb the younger generation will be In years to come.If everyone was like me the written press certainly newspapers would be extinct.
Last one I bought was after we'd beaten West Brom with 10 men and I fancied a read on the beach in Greece.
Apart from that when we could travel I'd pick up a freebie at the airport for those moments where you have to turn electronic devices off.
On a banned/ignore list for most of the usual suspects who are quoted in this thread.
Feel cleansed.
You must know by now that this story will be airbrushed out of history just like LFC hacking into our computer systems. On the other hand Derby County, who dared to invest in their club, unlike other crooked owners in their league, will be taken to the cleaners by the authorities. There is no chance of the UK media ever properly scrutinising MUFC.Where`s the Media Focus on PL Match Postponement?
Illegal disorder, trespass, violence against the police, intimidation of staff, disruption of everyday life - it`s the United Way.
The BBC have reported that 4 suspects have been arrested.

Yet there are still those who are justifying the protests on 2 occasions when Utd were due to play Liverpool.
The wider issues are
(1) When will the club be punished for its major failings on the day of the postponement? The first ever PL game unable to take place due to the club failing, having been pre-warned, to put in place adequate and appropriate health and safety arrangements to host a major event?
If this had been Leeds or Millwall or almost any other club, the punishments would have been swift and severe.
(2) Why has such a major story and prominent event not been followed up by the media, and the club called to account beyond an apology?
GMP have stated, “We are continuing to review evidence from the day and are committed to identifying and prosecuting those involved.”.
The media should rightly keep this in the public eye and seek to hold the football club and Premier League to account. This is a public interest story. Punishment of the club should follow.

Isn't that copy & pasted from the Scouse plod when they bricked the coach?...
