There is a big Sky Sports sign outside, so I asked what time they would be putting the City match on. The woman went in the back, came back 5 minutes late and said "Sorry, we only show the big games". It's no wonder the place was fucking empty, I left a full pint and walked out.
I hope you didn't pay for it!
Unfortunately Jim, tradition states that you pay for the beer as you receive it in this country. I bet they put a premium on the price though, to pay for all the big games they play on Sky.
I go in the Lass fairly often as I play footy for one of thier teams.
Got to say Ive never had any problems watching games in there and does sound like a one off problem (hope so anyway)
Fair play to gareth for coming on though and giving both sides of the story.

Er, NO. Whatever you think of them being a snivelling little grass is not the answer.

thelass said:Hello. Lass O'Gowrie here.
I really do think I should post here with a more accurate representation of what happened.
Three gents had bullied a member of my staff into changing over the 42 inch TV at the back,
Firstly, we didn't 'bully' her, we asked her. And gave her a generous tip with the round then bought to thank her.
I'm sorry this customer feels he's been a long-standing customer since 2988, but I've been here since 2005 and don't remember seeing him to be honest. Given he had to ring up to ask how many TV's we had, I suspect he's not been in for a bit.
Don't remember seeing me or not, I have been a user of the Lass since 1983. (Unsuprisingly not since 2988, as you claim I said) And was last in two Saturdays ago in a party of 10 people....
I called the pub earlier to ask if the game was being shown, not to enquire how many tv's you were showing it on......
All three of us heard you say you hate City....don't know if you like Liverpool, you never said, and I didn't put that in the op, but yeah, of course you will deny that now.....
Quick question re only being able to get City game on a German channel, my missus, now an area manager for a pub/restaurant company, wonders why when it was on Sky Eurosport....part of the package you must be paying for....?)
Anyhow, show what you wish........legally or otherwise. Boycott for us and all the Blues we know stands. Customer's choice an all that.....
after reading both sides of the argument, i have to say, i think it's more than ridiculous that a manchester pub should choose to show a liverpool game rather than the city's club. so, yes, lass o gowrie can fuck right off with that attitude. more importantly however, if you'd rang up the coms instead of the pub, you'd have found plenty of tickets available, and could have seen the match not just in widescreen but in all round panoramic vision.

As far as we are concerned....show whatever games you choose....legally or otherwise. Boycott for us and all the Blues we know stands
Sorry, I can't have that. You can say what you like about whether you bullied the staff or not into showing it on the screen of your choice, but I will not be painted as anti-City.
I didn't at any point say I hate City, because it simply isn't true. I know a lot of our City regulars and it has been a privilege over the years seeing the unique City rollercoaster ride unfold. Personally, I'm a Blackburn fan from wales Who runs a Manchester boozer, owned by a Suffolk brewery named after a Scottish poem. My business partner is a Tottenham fan. What reason would we have to hate City, who by and large are lovely fans who like the atmosphere in the pub and come to the games we show, mostly the away games.
As I say, I'd be grateful for people reading this thread to simply make their own minds up. If we hated City as much as you suggest, then why are we bumping all the other games this Bank Holiday Sunday to enable fans to watch Sunderland v City @ 3pm. It's not solely for the Sunderland fans, let me tell you.
Oh and we'll be stocking Blue Moon on draft from late September. Hardly the act of an anti-City landlord I'd suggest.
Best
