Media discussion - 2024/25

Pep must also have no clue about the rules either then because the cameras showed him remonstrating with the 4th official and pointing at the halfway line because that's where he thought it should be taken from?

I thought he was complaining that the flag didn't go up immediately.

 

[jimharri]

Sorry. *lol* I was going to say that the only person I can think of that I’m in awe of is Mr Stones……..although I’m a little afraid of @jimharri ;-)

And you'd be right to be!

If that’s what’s happened he’s fucked himself up,if enough blues witnessed it then his bosses should be informed of what went on ..Anyhow he’ll get a slap sooner rather than later the prick ..

Make all this happen.

It's high time we fans took the opportunity to spike one of the media cretins.

Call the lanky toss pot out for what tried.

Contact the HR Director, he/she will havevto acknowledge the complaint !!

Double entendre?

Anyone else clock neville proving he is way out of his depth on sky ?
After that farce of an offside yesterday, neville said the resulting free kick should have been taken on the halfway line.
When he was told no, it's when he becomes active and touches the ball he clearly had no clue. An ex professional footballer, a failed manager and a pundit for 10 ? years and yet he hasn't got a clue about the rules.

They change that often nowadays that I think a fair few have passed me by now, for me the guy was active as soon as the ball was passed to him in our half, he was the only one in our half, I'm not even sure how the assistant doesn't just raise his flag, it was a bog standard offside call.

Is that the same as a double ended scissoring dildo ?

I thought it was funny. Good bit of banter.

So did I, but some people are very sensitive about such things.

Great banter. Elon Musk likes a bit of bantz in the internèt

Is the halfway line safe onside territory? The line is part of the area it encloses, and the halfway line encloses both halves. I suspect it's the opposition half when we're attacking so we're off, and the opposition half when we're defending, so they are on!

To be fair to everyone, if the linesman would have flagged immediately the free kick would have been taken from where the player was stood (I think)

For example if he was 5 yards offside and went for the ball surely the flag would have gone straight up?? Or maybe not

"City didn't have to try very hard again a poor Chelsea" Followed by..Liverpool played "breathtaking football" against Ipswich. We can't win.

On the plus side I just watched Granada News and they only mentioned us none of the other NW teams and the young lady was very gushing I felt. Something along the lines of ...after 4 titles in a row and the Charity Shield City opened their season with a good win over Chelsea. (that wasn't verbatim just a summary). :-)

Fortunately we can, on the pitch.ff it, the media crap has been going on for years. There is nothing we can do to stop it but it does have one useful purpose, other than being used as a motivational tool for Pep and the players. It is a thermometer for how well we are doing at any one time.

We did win

Sam Lee was on the train down today from Piccadilly

Anyone there will know the delays that happened

Anyway, a blue simply said to Lee you should be a bit more careful with what you write

Lee straight away called the blue a dick

Well it went downhill from there

Lee called another blue a bottler because he did not want a fight on the train.

Embarrassing by Lee

"Hit me so I can write a story about how I didn't goad you in to hitting me".

Utter ****.

Are we still warm or is going to be wet & windy ?

I think we should be told HWUTK ?

Because at the rags they didn’t play by the “rules”

Well it was Alex Scott who rarely seems to have a good word to say for us. Although I notice she’s started to pronounce her t’s at last. Might have been having elocution lessons!

I think she's a bit of a cun.

The law wasn’t changed but it was clarified about 10 years ago that you cannot be in an offside position if you are actually on the half way line. You must be in the opposition half.

Vacuous Alex.
