I don't normally bother with the HYS section of the match report, but just responded to a poster with the user name 'Champ20ns' who referred to City as Citeh.

My comment was literally as below :-

"I'm guessing by your user name that you're a United fan ? The second giveaway, is that you don't see the irony of taking the mickey out of the Manchester accent which means you're a typical United fan from the home counties. Deary me"

I've just had an email from the BBC saying that my comment has been removed as it broke the house rules ???

So let's see - making comments calling City "Oil Cheats" and "FFP Cheats" is perfectly ok, but pointing out the irony of someone who apparently supports a Manchester team taking the Mickey out of the Manchester accent is offensive ???

Who moderates this shite ?? Bacon Face ??

The sports desk there is dominated by supporters of the 2 cheeks clubs. Pathetic behaviour really I would even say childish. Impartiality departed media city a long time ago.

There is a cultural problem in the online team. The moderation is often done by people who don't have a clue what they are doing and some have no qualifications for the role. There is no pretence of impartality in the staff. Some of them regard it as a game to troll City fans. It is all part of the "banter" culture in that office. There is virtually no Editorial control and the senior people are part of the problem.
There is no chance of this being tackled in the short term because it is a tiny issue compared to the major crisis throughout the entire BBC operation. For example the complaints process has effectively collapsed under the sheer weight of complaints from the public about BBC content on all channels. The regulator Ofcom itself is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of complaints.
The BBC can't survive in its current format. It only attracts tiny audiences for most of its content (of course the website itself has a huge audience). Politics is playing a part but the crisis is much bigger than any political issues. The sub-standard football coverage is just a symbol of the rest of the organisation.

Are we allowed to use the term taking the Mickey nowadays?

That’d be my guess at the house rule broken mate

Apart from the surviving in it's current format part can you share any of your sources for this?

Same as you I responded a couple of weeks ago to someone calling us Oil fc. The only thing the moderator objected to and withdrew my comment was an indirect comment along the lines someone must be sad with their references to us. I sent an e mail in response which amongst other things I pointed out that Oil fc could be construed as racism...... no response.
 
Sky sports have nothing but womens football on today lol. Meanwhile the English mens champions are into another champions league semi final. Disgraceful coverage.

Been in there, was staying at the Belle Tout lighthouse, the staff in that pub were as miserable as sin, they really should not be working there considering the reputation of the nearby cliff

Sorry can't share sources on here but I know it's true and so do any lurking BBC hacks who watch this forum closely. Not suggesting you are one.

I’d say you’ve got it spot on bobby, you can see the proof with the regular “mistakes” clearly aimed at winding up blues. It’s known that a number of the fuckers came over from OT and just look at that **** Stones - like a teenage raggy fanboy instead of a serious sports journalist. It’s especially inexcusable in a publicly funded environment where people like me have pay for their childish shite - and it will come back and bite them on the arse. The BBC won’t be able to carry on as they are as they seem incapable of being professional.

To be fair there are some really high quality professional journalists working at the BBC (including Sport) but they are not (on the whole) the ones with leadership roles (who are making the bad decisions).
 
BBC text top headline last night : 'Man Utd beat Arsenal'..... no problem with the ladies football getting very good and deserved coverage but.......
