Media Discussion - 2023/24

[give it to gordon]

Never got the criticism about amount of people watching Citys trophy lift. Lets face it only City fans will tune in, i for one would never be arsed watching any other team lift a trophy as for the dipper flith well they are just a wierd messed up cult.

Agree I have to this day still not watched the dippers lift the pl* in their empty stadium

Today's pundits pander to the lowest of the audience. So football commentary and punditry is like 'Ow my balls' from that Idiocracy film. Probably worse.

 

[thismeansfour]

And they lose any credibility when they do.

Keane the pundit I do have time for, he in a majority of cases says it like it is but he has vendettas which is an issue, Ferguson and Haaland to name just two, that is preventing him from becoming a top pundit.

Spot on

 

[Sid Snott]

In 1967, he married his second wife, Daphne Surfleet, who had worked for the English cricket writer E. W. Swanton. Benaud and Daphne often stayed at their holiday home in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. On 29 October 2008, Benaud's mother, Irene, died, aged 104.

Never heard any mention of Glossop.

Tommy piss can Docherty did and so did egg woman, Edwina Curry. Wasn't aware of Benaud.

Never understand why companies do this. If I bought Dominos. Tweets like this would make me choose somewhere else.



For the record Papa John's is number 1 for pizza

A cardboard base, who'd know the difference?

Besides being a really weird campaign by Dominoes against the club.

Someone at the club should write back "tbf, that cardboard box tastes as good as your pizzas."

 

[Newman Noggs]

Good Lord !! That Kaveh chap on Sky news just gave a very fair assessment of the latest legal action putting City's viewpoint over very well.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Utter bellend

Well no more dominoes in our house that's for sure.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Yes, one would imagine relations will be quite frosty to say the least.

Until those at the PL step down.

Well no more dominoes in our house that's for sure.

What's app to all fam has already been sent. I know they won't buy a single one again.

To be fair to Dominos, if I were ever desperate enough to buy from them I'd probably be happy with just eating the cardboard as opposed to their shite pizzas

 

[argyle]

There's been a number of their tweets like this.

It's not like their tweets have been funny banter, it's been snide and deliberately saying that City are guilty.

Just a bizarre business decision to anger a fanbase.

Hadn't noticed. Not really that funny compared to Paddy Power or specsavers.

 

[1stFeb1969]

He made me fall in love with cricket, the guy was an outstanding player, an even better commentator and an even better gentleman.

As a kid I chased him all over Old Trafford ( the real one) finally one day I caught up with him and got him to sign a cricket bat, "sure thing mate", still got it and cherish it today.

In one of his books, he wrote about being stopped outside the SCG, and being asked for autographs.
One youngster asked him if he'd played for Australia, and people with Benaud were annoyed with the question.

Benaud was impressed with the query, and replied that it showed an enquiring mind, as the youngster would only have known about him through his TV work.

He remains the benchmark.

Still haven't read his autobiography, it's the big tick missing from my reading list

Bell end door … hopefully

I thought so too. Just as well as I told Mrs laser as he was being introduced that he's a KFA idiot and she said "If you're just going to shout and swear at the TV put somethiing else on" :D

 

[Protein Junkie]

As a teenage cricket fan during the school holidays I was pretty much glued to the TV to watch the England Test Matches, Ritchie Benaud opened one day with:

Good morning
It's a lovely day for cricket
And if you haven't got a ticket
You're not getting in

No waffle, just told it as it was, I agree the greatest ever Cricket Commentator and probably the best Sports Commentator there's been in my lifetime, I also enjoyed listening to Peter Alliss on the golf.

And us FOCs also remember Jim Laker and John Arlott who made Cricket commentary so appealing at that time.
