PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[Coatigan]

What point are you trying to make?

You think 99% of people don't give a toss..so? So what?

61% of people in this country do care when asked, which makes asking the public officials about it perfectly valid.

I would bet more than 61% would disapprove of sexual harassment.

And yes, the two are comparable, MCC are making a choice to take investment from individuals linked to a state with poor human rights. She is making a choice to share a household income with a person of misconduct. Both are there to link or not link.

Again it's just an ad hom attack on the person asking a valid question because you're uncomfortable with the question being asked.

That's why this woman's husband is even being mentioned, and not the possible crimes of the spouses of every other journalist present. This one asked a question you don't like so you attempt to discredit her.

It just comes across as increibly thin skinned and kind of pathetic that 15 year into the takeover so many fns still can't cope with someone asking a question about the Middle East when it's relevant. What are you so scared of?

So without trying to derail this thread when do we go to arbitration and will we win the case?

Do you think 61% of people in the country have the foggiest idea of what human rights are like in the UAE when a sizeable chunk wouldn't even be able to locate it on a map?

I think I value properly carried out polling data a lot more than baseless assumptions about hypothetical polls.

If you can find anything serious that backs up your assumptions about British people's awareness of human rights or geography then I'd consider it.

Probably sometime in the next 9 months, no one knows what the outcome will be.

I like Kieran Maguire, but Football Insider has become one of the most click-bait sites around. Pretty sure when it started, it had lofty ideals, but it's gone lowest common denominator really quickly.

That £500m include wages, agent fees and transfers, so we're probably not far off that most years anyway.

Football 365 is clearly the clickbait king, closely followed by Manchester City News.

With MCN, they pose sensationalist headlines, then you have to wade through ⅔ of a page full of popup adverts, until you get to the bullshit point the headline suggested.

It's another publication I've put on my clickbait ignore list.

We have to sort out the problem that has derailed this thread for the last 60 page's first before we can sort the original topic out.
Can all this shit be moved to a Annabel Tiffin thread by the mods,preferably to Rawk.

 

[applecentral]

Can anyone advise me on which page to start reading todays posts without all the nonsense of the last few pages.

I am 100% not uncomfortable with the question. I have said all along, it is valid, it is fair game. Still haven't found his answer, which also interests me. It is a bit cheap, and a bit token 'lip service' imo, but at no point am I arguing against it.

I am also not using her own household to discredit her, or the question. I am simply noting that pointing out a perception of hypocrisy is also fair game. In a world where perception does matter, and where her question itself deals with exactly that. The perception of being in bed with someone with an unpleasant side.

I think you may also be directing some broader frustration at me specifically, which I would say is largely misplaced. There is no need for this to get pissy, and I am happy to leave it here, there are plenty of others you can take this up with. Or at least not let the tone descend any further.

It's becoming a boring thread the last few days with people desperately wanting the last word about nothing. Can the mods get this thread back on topic please as I have no wish to read a few posters arguing about nothing all day long.
Thank you for your understanding;-)

Very succinctly put sir.

 

[applecentral]

You made a point but just leave it there and than instead of trying to elongate your cock size .

It’s hard to elongate a mushroom.

True, but it can be done.

Fine we can leave things if you want, although I'd just ask if, when you were pointing out how morally bankrupt she is for having a wrongun for a husband, did you at any point consider that a man who sexually assaults women in the workplace probably starts at home and there's every chance she's a victim instead of the co-conspirator you've portrayed her as?

Might be something worth mulling over for the next time the forum wants to discredit a journalist for asking an obviously fair question.

Not bothered about that. Any shallow victory will do for me.

I was doing no such thing.

I was commenting on a take, of perception of hypocrisy.

Not that she isn’t credible. Not that her question isn't valid. Not that she has no right to ask it, or enough credit to ask it. Not any other speculation you have just conjured.

You can't argue the perception. You can argue whether it is relevant. And how that compares to the relevance of the perception her own question is implying.

Once again, it feels like you are bracketing multiple posts by a number here, into something you think I am saying. I don't think I could be any clearer myself, but hopefully the above puts it to bed.

 

[Coatigan]

The fact is 61% of the country thinks we should have less of a business relationship with the UAE because of their human rights records.

And while we are at it, that is not really what the poll says, or asks.

The question itself is highly wooly, granted, but portraying that as the conclusion is a little bit duplicitous, is it not? The irony of which in this context is not lost.

Can we get this back on topic ffs?
