Colour me surprised by the image attached by the BBC in their story about blue cards and dissent.View attachment 108746

Well, that's a relief. It was clearly the blue cards that were the issue, not the whole fucking stupid sin-bin idea.

Seriously City, why have you not yet banned Stone from the ground.
It’s pathetic and predictable he has chosen to use that image. Enough is enough, tell him to fuck off and continue working for the Rags and tell the BBC he is no longer welcome

Just a small point, Stone wouldn't be the person who chooses the picture or the headline.

Usually a sub-editor for the headline and someone junior who compiles all the pictures.

So it would simply be another rag from the rag infested bbc salford

Just an extraordinary coincidence that INEOS has had highly visible presence at Tory conferences, Ratcliffe has lobbied senior tories about softening their policy on fracking, and union busting, and avoiding pollution regulations (mostly EU ones - and guess who was a huge brexit supporter).
Avoids tax here but is trying to get taxpayers money to rebuild the infrastructure at his latest grubby little project in Trafford.
Proper Tory material.

I translate all that as symbolising him as a tramp. All that money off shore yet he comes to the tax payer with a beginning bowl. The fecker should know he can’t carry his wealth into his grave unless he thinks he is pharaoh!

Could not agree more

Apparently it's because we're scared of attracting attention - according to some on here. It's what they want!
Ignoring it is doing wonders.

I'm one of them although it has nothing to with being scared, it simply would not work.
First Simon Stone won't have picked that photograph.
Second the bbc would spin the propaganda out for months about how he has been victimised.
Third a ban wouldn't stop them printing shit, it would simply encourage them to print more.
Fourth, I made the point about Fulham doing the Fernandez vid. I doubt many people saw that until Ten Bob kicked off and every media outlet then covered it. He should have kept his gob shut.

Stone doesn’t need any help to be a snide ****.

Fifth, I disagree - if done intelligently, selectively and well.

Can’t wait to see the reaction to Scruffy Jim setting up a rig on both the Centre Circle and Carrington to frack both sites as he owns the drilling rights to both…

Hmmm only watched the first couple of questions of the Pep presser but, he was quite clear he wasn't going to pop at the rags then to my (not) surprise the back pages are full of shit again.

Now that I agree with. Pick your targets and use the 3 words you've mentioned.

Excellent Oscar Bobb interview on Football Focus. Came across as intelligent and very mature for his age.

I get that but surely there must come a point in any self respecting journalists career where they point out to the headline writer/photo selector that they (in this case Stone) are expected to form a working relationship with City and by repeatedly using negative images/headlines they are undermining his credibility as a journalist and, as a consequence, every time he asks a question Pep's eyes glaze over and, as if by magic, the words 'I think you're a twat' appear on his forehead.

They must spend as much money on PR and journalists as they do on transfers anything to keep them in the public eye and looking relevant..

He rarely if ever got a mention when he was with us. He’s getting full page spreads and regular articles on him now he’s at the rags. Surprised? No, me neither.

Whether or not some other individual is responsible for the bias makes no difference, we should still ban Stone from entering our ground.

I'm done with this media bullshit, especially the so-called Impartial BBC. The best team in world football play in Manchester and they treat us like some fooking joke to be laughed at and belittled whenever they can.

He was that good no fcuker in the media had heard of him or mentioned him in our success! If they took our tea lady they'd be a full page on how she is the best tea lady ever how she went all around the world to fine the perfect cuppa!
