BT Sport

Yes that's me.

That's that I can stand 'cos I cant stand no more'

Danny Mills, through a private equity firm, owns the West Cornwall Pasty Company. I like to go to them on railway stations and order 4 coffees, 4 bacon and sausage rolls/barms/muffins and 4 large pasties. Then I discover I have no cash so say I'm just going to have to nip to the cash point. Obviously I then just go and get on my train. It's not very clever I know, but I always feel slightly better about life afterwards!!

I`ve been going since my dad first took me in 1957 and living in rag central have had to fight my corner possible as much if not more than most so dont give us this softarse bollocks.

If the media keep on telling these lies and falsehoods eventually it is believed and taken as fact.

Agreed – I went to secondary school in the 1980's, and we were shit and I and fellow blues got constant shit of Rags every day... but 'banter' between fans is completely different from a media driven hate campaign. BT sports being prime example – their pundits covering our matches have been nothing short of a disgrace... a panel full of ex-rags, who have all publicly stated their hatred for us at some point, for a huge CL match... one of whom says he hoped we'd lose??? Danny 'the parasite' Mills slagging off the team who effectively paid him for fuck all for a few years... you think the **** would be a bit more gracious.
I'd love to know who the head of recruitment at BT is... in Ferdinand, Scholes and Owen they have three people, who constantly show bias, little tactical knowledge and are completely devoid of personality... the one thing you would think a TV pundit should have! It seems they only recruit ex Rags or Dippers, purely because they think that because their old clubs have the bigger fan bases, that will equate to more people tuning in... whereas it seems the opposite is proving to be true, with even neutrals noticing how crap their coverage has been.
Like most blues, I don't want sychophants blowing smoke up our arses, and fawning over us at every opportunity – I just want fair reporting... if we're shit, we accept that, but if we're good I don't expect the pundits to have sad chops, and still be negative!

I don't know any blue who condones this unbalanced level of reporting that is singularly aimed at City from BT, or any that says it does not matter.

The twat should remember who made him a millionaire for sitting on the treatment room.

This Blue certainly agrees. Fairness is all we want. We certainly know when we are crap. The last thing I want is a' holier than thou' Blue telling me to ignore (in other words accept it) for any of the reasons we see on here.

The fact is people of all sorts readily believe the messages they get on their tv screens.

All around the world people are told 'Things go better with coca cola - Drink coke'. And they do in their hundreds of millions. They drink sugar water that cost pennies to make multi gallon drums.

Advertising works and what we see and hear is a form of advertising, just a different business.

Fairness is something you will never get from the media. They employ those that appeal to the majority.
They have to sell their wares or go down the tubes in this digital age. Unfortunately we (ie city fans) are not a majority so we are unlikely to get what we consider to be fair.

I´m not condoning it merely pointing out that views of news is what we get today not news.
As I posted before if you just want the news then don´t listen to the views just watch the TV.

yep I agree with all of that. I dont get the City fans who accepting unjustified bollocks with a shrug of the shoulders.

same here fairness though knowledge not lies though lack of it.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

yep I agree with all of that. I dont get the City fans who accepting unjustified bollocks with a shrug of the shoulders. I can understand the Rags, Scouser and the rest of the dumb cunts who believe everything they read.

Totally get your point, but I don't think it is down to apathy on the part of City supporters, but more the flagrant refusal by the BBC, BT and every other media organisation who rely upon the money that the Rags/ Dippers in their braindead millions bring to the table, to change their approach and bias.

You must have seen examples of the responses to complaints posted on the forum - they just don't care and issue bullshit replies .

We don't yet affect them enough financially is the answer imo.
