Media discussion - 2025/26

Was Slott even in this country when the Wolves match happened? Is he the memory man? It was pushed by the media. A bit like he claimed to have seen our Swansea line-up before his own match while he was preparing his own team. Just lies fed to him by his PR people or someone on the broadcast team. A fabricated story. A bit like splicing two emails together or editing a quote half way through a sentence. This is the state of modern media.

We need to compile a full list of the shit decisions we've had against Liverpool and get someone like Mike Keegan or Simon Bajkowski to give it some traction.

I've listed some off the top of my head and suggested by other posters:
  • Alf Grey disallowing Kevin Reeves' goal for no discernible reason.
  • The handball penalty awarded against Micah Richard's in the League Cup semi-final when it bounced up off his knee.
  • The two penalties not given in the 2014 game at Anfield, one for a foul on Dzeko and the Skrtel handball that wasn't spotted.
  • The three offside decisions in the first leg of the CL quarter final.
  • The disallowed goal in the second leg when offside was given but Milner clearly played the ball last.
  • The failure to issue a second yellow to
    • Suarez, who was penalised for simulation when already on a yellow but didn't get a second.
    • Milner, who was on a yellow and committed at least one, and probably two, further bookable offences
  • The mysterious malfunction of VAR when Salah scored and was seemingly offside.
  • The Trent handball not given.
  • The disallowed goal for the slightest touch on Alisson.
  • The Foden goal disallowed for a foul by Haaland a couple of phases earlier.
What else have I missed?

I've lost it for now but there was a video clip from Five Live(?) between one of the main presenters and Danny Mills where to Mills great disgust, liverpool were told to "get back in their box" over the goal that never was. That'll be death threats incoming then.

It was Murphy not Mills but I enjoyed that vid

Rule of thumb, if it's a stupid headline that makes no sense, the article will follow suit. Although sometimes it doesn't even have any relation to the headline.

Do not engage.
 
I think the article on the decline of the England no. 9 in BBC Football is quite interesting. It doesn't bother me because I do not support England nevertheless it is quite an interesting phenomenon.

The other news I noticed was the very poor turnout by Utd fans for their womens team game against PSG at Old Trafford. They claim 14,667 but I had a look on BBC I player and it looked less than that. I don't think Ratcliffe will be impressed with that. Had City played a CL game v PSG at the Etihad, I would have expected 20k. Is the bubble bursting in womens football? I will watch Man City women when they are on TV. I like Bunny Shaw. City women play good football. I tried to watch Man Utd women v PSG women last night but the standard was so low that it was unwatchable.

Maybe they'll all be at the Ethiad on Saturday for the Derby ? Raggie Women are bully , kick and run with just the one technical player, Jess Parks , who we swapped for the more muscular Grace Clinton . Sad day .
 
I know its an international break and news is slow, but FFS on the BBC Sport website this morning there are no less than 5 headline items referring to LOTG changes. It's feckin ridiculous, and all because a decision was made in line with a current law which very few people had complained about previously.
In fact I haven't heard of anyone apart from dippers and dipper-loving pundits complaining about it now. No wonder nobody likes them.

A race between ineos and Rags to go bust first.
Is it possible to find out the Salary of Slyman Stone, I want to include details in my complaint to the BBC about Bias at the Corporation.

Ah, the poster that isn't it Manchester. One day, they'll get the joke.

I decided to read the article, as I want Stone to keep his job as fanzine writer, as it keeps him away from proper football. He's convinced me, so I've just put £100 on at BetFred for the rags to win the quadruple this season - they may not be in the CL, but will just be awarded the trophy for clearly having the best team, club and AI drawing of a stadium
 
Having read Simon's eulogy to Jim one sentence particularly struck me:

' a source said the work of United's data and analytics team has accelerated to such a degree it is now "among the top four teams".
I wonder how they know this unless they are following a Liverpool tactic...
