Media thread 2022/23

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

BBC breakfast showing the goals and gushing over the young lad from Bury !

I just knew, five seconds after Rico had scored, that the Nevilles would be crow-barred into the match report, although the pass from Telles to Alvarez was mentioned as was his loan from the Rags.

I see Barney “grinning row of beards” Ronay has the goddam gall to write an article dismissing the idea that criticism of Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries might have racist undertones. Such self-awareness.

Local news ?

There's plenty to criticise at the media for and I'm more than willing to post in this thread to have a go where I feel it warranted. However, I think this is pushing it, to be honest.

If a lad who grew up in a particular town announces himself on the CL stage, then other players from that town playing in the same position and who've gone on to represent England in the last 20 or 30 years are relevant for comparison purposes. IMO, that's not the case for bloke from county Durham playing in a different position sixty years ago who happened to start his career with the local team there.

Or to put it more succinctly, they didn't include Colin Bell in a list of players from Bury because he wasn't from Bury.

Ronay's bile this morning is as boring as it is ridiculous and predictable. All about Qatar and claims Klopp's comments were not xenophobic. Klopp referenced 3 teams yet Ronay mentions just one. City.

No reference to Barca's sponsorship by Qatar. Zero mention of Newcastle and the Saudis.

Yet again an article about something else circles negatively around City.

I qualified and used to practice as a solicitor. I'll never use one line of text where I can manage four. ;)

I pick it up on my IPTV box as I’m overseas but I’m certain it was the national broadcast.
It was early morning just after 6am.

He did have a half share in a restaurant in Whitefield though...

Only watched the last hour, seen the piece on beeb northwest section. Noticed the Callum/ George Best on national broadcast.

This guy is a right wing fart, but he's no fool, if you want to know why the rule based system of world order isn't really a thing watch this....

Thanks for posting that, it was really interesting.

Ffs that clown MP Ian Byrne on talkshite spouting off about every teams supporters singing about Hillsborough. Saying it shud be in national corriculum at school. Can’t they just let it go.

He also had a pretty decent racehorse named after him ;-)

The headline above the article says it opens a debate that could be worth having. Comments are disabled and any postings below their World Cup preview making reference to the article are instantly removed

We are being blanked in the media at the moment, no mention good, or bad, their new tactic?

He and the sports editor who approved that should have been sacked on the spot. You couldn’t get more blatant racism

We must have complained & that’s their petty response.

I bet he's a drinking buddy of Tone the same disheveled appearance . Perhaps Heysel should be on the national curriculum as well.

Or I assume Arsenal playing at the Emirates?
