So after all that, these were real cards issued by a real company and used by real people. Seems like the ace investigative reporter Corbett has got it completely wrong again.

Is that a fair summary?

Well shouldn’t he apologise for telling lies or he knows he can get away with these types of articles and keep doing them!

I don't think he did the article? I thought he'd just piggy backed on it without checking anything. We seen to have really annoyed him somehow, shame.

That's what I thought, but he is the author according to their little website.

Outside of this thread I wasn't aware this was all going on.

Here's some of Corbett's other work in this supposedly serious publication.

Bluemmon gets a mention...

Wrong way around that article. Think they will find it us City fans that are the stubborn bunch and any attempt to malign us our our Club will be met with resistance.

One of the funniest lines in the piece for me is this one:

‘City are also embroiled in three-year long secret legal dispute with the Premier League.’

Err? If it’s secret how come it’s been mentioned in the article? No one would know, would they? Unless, of course, someone has leaked it to Corbett in which case that would’ve been a much better story for him to write (along the lines of ‘a source at the PL has exclusively revealed…’).

You would be forgiven for thinking he is from Liverpool.

He's now crying because it's been shown that the first event in 2020 took place
But that's not in 2022 and there are no pics of the audience in the video focused on the opening ceremony....

Pics of attendees provided, but that's not 2022....

Explained that it was due to take place over 3 years, but they've had their license in Qatar revoked ...

Yes and they've shut down the credit cards, looks like the company has failed due to lockdown

Every jot of proof that this is a legit company with a legit event and legit cards knocked back with a bit that's not the exact proof I wanted

Unusually he’s an Evertonian I think. A massive City hating waft as well of course, but not the Liverpool fan one might usually have expected when it comes to pedalling bitter bollocks about God’s Own Team
