Utd relaxed about Mbuemo?

Is that really worthy of a headline?

Oh I forgot, it's filed under how to keep the red darlings relevant when there is fuck all to write about them.

God sky fuckin sports are shite.

The fucking idiots couldn't be more obvious if they tried.

That's the equivalent of volunteering the phrase "it wasn't me!"

You're missing the fact that it still exists and it's still an option on BBC channels.

BBC, red button, page 302, BBC SPORTS TV text service. Football index news. Whatever the fuck it's called nowadays if I've used the wrong terminology and said "teletext" instead of whatever the modern equivalent is. :)

Lots of people who don't live their lives umbilically connected to a "smart" phone still use it for updates on all manner of subjects, including sports reports.

everyone now on red button checking info correct

Shaggggggy ?????

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Ok you have taught me something (although it doesn't seem to work on Sky Q).

:) Whereas I have no idea what Sky Q even means :)

:) I'm just a "freeview wanker" (as that Jay kid from the Inbetweeners would probably call me) :)

I didn't understand the negative comments about DAZN.
They didn't add the price tag on every time they named a City player, they didn't have Spitty and the other prick. No outright gobby rag like Ferdinand, in fact no hate at all.
I'd take the camera issues they had over shots of some ex dipper in the stand and 5 minutes of the maganger picking his nose like sky give us, or tnt's adverts for future events plastered across the screen as City attack.

DAZN were excellent last night throughout the match and studio
Shay even had a smirk on throughout his analysis at the end of the game and said that we’d not only win this comp but went further to suggest no one will live with us during the Pl season
The bloke who was the anchor did mention money invested but with a positive view on it

All in all a great nights viewing and first time in I don’t know how long didn’t watch one of our games in “mute” mode

 

[stonerblue]

Thought the female and the guy with the mad hair actually asked proper post match questions. They’ll never get a job at the BBC or Sly

The 'gu with the hair' is me mate Liam. Lifelong Blue and top kid. worked his arse off to get where he has.

 

[Delboy352]

This is my ringtone when Sergio scored on 93:20. It went off once whilst I was waling up the nave of Nantes Cathedral! It has the power of turning heads wherever it goes off!

Mine too…if we’re out and about and there are scummy or dipper fans around me, I get the wife to call me and then just let it play out until it goes to voicemail…

Can he get the girl's phone number for me? DM is fine :)

No probs.

 

[Blue Mist]

It wasn't on Channel 5 so they are talking shite ( again )

I have just gone and re-checked the Telegraph (please note the mame change after my bollocking)
They have now chaged the heading and the report to say the under 21's beat CWC in ratings war. No mention of City.

Someone's had a word.

 

[north down blue]

No probs.

Her name is Alex Aljoe. Agree she's very easy on the eye

 

[Odd socks]

I watched whatever channel had Alex Scott presenting, commentary was very good and complimentary during the match and the half time analysis was again very favourable to us.

The right wing rags are obsessed with fucking war, I didn’t realise we were at war.
“No one is interested in the CWC” …in the office the other day, spoke to an Arse fan who parroted that line, me “did you see that Messi goal” …yeah it was great. Me,, “did you think Lewis was a red card” ….yeah defo……etc etc

 

[Ithryn Luin]

Oh dear, the desperation of the Racistgraph, (Telegraph) to belittle the CWC went up another level this morning.
Apparently more people watched England's U21's on channel 4 than watched City on channel 5.
I didn't even know it was on Channel 5, I watched on DAZN as did everyone under the age of 85, who is not white, and an ex Sergeant Major, B company
, 2nd Battalion, 24th (2nd Warwickshire Foot) Regiment of Foot.*
(I came here to build a bridge.)

* Later known as the South Wales Borderers.

oh dear! Suggest you need to keep your politics to the many other threads on this site!

 

[mad4city]

The commentators were much better than sky no digs that I picked up on, just nice impartial comments but, knowledge is always key and he didn't know Kidd was with us after the rags or mainly with us. There was something else said as well on another subject but, I can't remember what it was now.

Overall, 9/10.

I don't mind that Connor McNamara, one of the better commentators.

Conor McNamara has the good grace and common decency to be a Limerickman.

When he first got a breakthrough with BBC Radio, he used to claim to be a City fan.
This was back in pre-2008, when we were doomed to be perpetual also-rans. He doesn't talk about his allegiances quite so much now.
I don't know if he still is a blue (or indeed if he ever really was one and naming us was just professionally advantageous).
I do know blues were few and far between in the Limerick area back in those days (more now but far from a huge leap in numbers) and Conor and I never crossed paths. (That said, I'd be a good bit older than him, so it might have been odd if we did at that age).

There was a young man called Conor, who once said objection your honour,

I think it all started with this ....

Sam Lee never had me literally or metaphorically. Imo he's a grade A Rag shyster and in the right company with Midget Deloony et al.

 

[SWP's back]

I don't go on the BBC sports website, I still use ceefax/teletext on my TV.

Top story "Real Madrid beat RB Salzburg to reach CWC last 16" and the last story is "Ugly scenes as Inter beat River Plate to reach CWC last 16"

Nowhere in between is there a single mention of us on there. Last night was clearly a figment of my imagination.

Even at our lowest point were we ever as fucking bitter as those childish knobs at rag central Salford? Bitter childish cunts!

Fucking teletext? Jesus Christ.

There was a podcast associated with this tweet called Bad Moon Rising with Mackenna, McGeehan, Delaney and Lee "to break down the [club's] flaws and failures, the ethics and the crimes, from the court rooms to the board rooms". I think it's been deleted, unless anyone can find it.
