Collymore, Complaint to Ofcom

[Pigeonho]

In my opinion anyone who's done this is a mard arse. Oooo, someone went OTT on one of our players after that player broke another players leg.

For the next few weeks these same media outlets will concentrate more and more on Liverpool, should the takeover go through.....and do you know why that will be? Its because they will be the big news, just like we have been all summer.

NDJ had form, some of it pretty terrible. The tackle on Sunday was exactly what Brazil called it as, firm but fair. The leg break was an accident, we all know that and most of everyone else does too, including some of Newcastle's back staff. Collymore had his opinion, an opinion in the minority, and he aired it to drum up interest on HIS show. Actually going to the bother of complaining about that?!?!?

I might do it, but only after i've cleaned the toaster and microwave.

Fucking boring and the only thing you ever do it criticise city fans when they moan at the media. It's an obsession with you. We understand your view without it being reiterated every 5 mins. Change the record.

You think i'm boring?! Imagine being me, where almost every post is the view of a needlessly paranoid City fan 'reiterated every 5 MILLION THREADS'.

I've got every right to post on here as you and your sleeplessly paranoid pals, pal.

It may be somewhere in this thread, but I haven't read every page:

It wasn't Collymore's own comments that were really the problem. It was more the typical' Talk Shite' philosophy that he decided to embrace so warmly that is so wearing and offensive. He stoked it up and then allowed one of his listeners to say what he couldn't quite say himself, "He (NDJ) deliberately tried to break his leg". SC made no attempt to qualify by saying "Allegedly" or "That is your opinion".

The broadcasting company is responsible for what it broadcasts (i.e. not the caller, who may in effect be anonymous). On those grounds alone there may be a case for slander, but as is often said, the club gains little from persuing these types of cases, it is more a case of whether NDJ would want to persue it.

Talk Sport is an absolutely pathetic media outlet that has so many people who get a wage for 'stirring' that it reflects really badly on this country that they have a sizeable listenership. Its only saving grace is/was Hawkesby and Jacobs, but Jacobs is now becoming irrational and embarrassing. He has swallowed the shock/horror 'raison d'etre' of the station and now there is no reason to listen.

I gave up years ago on the station. How do I know about Collymore? My son, lifted it off the computer when he heard the subsequent commotion. He put it on a CD. I played it in the car and sighed at the naked opportunism of it all.

I was in line with the tackle. It wasn't a foul. There was polite applause for its quality. (I played regular poor grade Sunday football as a centre-half and tackled like that for 20 years. I never got sent off and often got compliments from the guy I'd tackled along the lines of, "I've never been hit so hard in my life...but no probs". I suspect in the faster pace of a better quality football I could have easily hurt someone, without actually committing a foul.).The game moved on and then people realised the lad was injured. Then the immediacy and irresponsibility of Collymore's comments kicked in the second (or near enough) the game finished.

If you asked Collymore what he thought of the tackle at the exact time it happened, I bet, if he was honest. he would say, he didn't notice anything wrong...but like 90% of the modern media, "why let the facts get in the way of a good story"

While I wouldn't dream of complaining about this to Ofcom myself, I will say this however:

It's not as embarrassing as crying like a fucking baby and complaining to the whole of Bluemoon about the slight rise in season ticket prices.

It's not as embarrassing as jumping over every single thread about our previous manager and constantly foisting your opinions of him onto everyone else despite the fact that the vast majority of City fans have long since moved on from all that.

It's not as embarrassing as railing against approximately 99% of City fans when slagging off the lads who had the "Ruining football" banner confiscated.

Does any of the above remind you of anyone in particular?

It tells me that someone is keeping a diary. Very strange.

All the above are genuine opinions that I will happily debate with anybody on a rational basis.

It seems that riles you and reduces you to the above post.

That's what I'd call embarrassing.

And I have debated them on here with fair minded people who can hold a debate with opposing opinions without freaking out. Don't ask me to name who those people were though. I'm not weird enough to make a note of people just because they hold an opposite opinion.

It's that sad twunt

3,000 post son here in just over a year.

Daily unavoidable slanging matches

Constant insults of anyone holding a view you don't like

Constantly spotted harbouring grudges with anonymous usernames

I'll stick with my version of 'sad', thanks.

I think I prefer it.

But, hey, as I've said before, don't let me stop you constantly posting insults after me. If that's how you get your kicks, great. It might provide some respite for the dozens of other you do the same to.

Seriously, that has to be one of the most pathetic comebacks on here I've ever seen - even by your own shit standards.

I don't need to keep a diary - I've just got a very good memory. Having said that, where you're concerned my memory doesn't have to be that good - the fact that you so often spout the polar opposite view is enough to register with anyone. You got away with it regarding Hughes because luckily for you he divided opinion straight down the middle, but many of those that were in the out camp are now seeing you for what you really are - a sad individual who is as far removed from the mindset of the vast majority of fans of this football club as you can possibly get. I really do wonder whether you live in a parallel universe because you certainly don't come across as someone who resides on the same planet as the rest of us.

And as for "debating opinions with anybody on a rational basis" don't make me fucking laugh. You're posting style is as antagonistic as you can get - just because you can string umpteen sentences together in practically every single post doesn't make it "rational".

What puts the top hat on your response above, however, is that after accusing me of being obsessed and keeping a diary you then go on to give us all a warts-and-all rundown of the day-to-day habits of another poster (someone who shits all over you for quality of posts by the way). You really can't get any more fucking ironic than that.

IGNORE THEM - Come on Stanley Collymore has been in more looney bins than Ive visited pubs. The bloke is certified mental - fact, so why are we biting? If anyone see him lets have a policy of slapping him, spitting on him those type of things. He's on my list.

Great post.

I think people had lost sight of what our 'beef' was with Collymore but I think that sums it up nicely.

I'm genuinely not someone to get stoked up by the media but two incidents in the last 12 months have really got my back up; one was Mancini's first Press Conference when there was mass bullying from the journalists present; and the other was the behaviour of the media in the past few days.

Journalists and broadcasters have suggested that De Jong set out to 'do' the lad intentionally; how on earth is that "fair comment" when it cannot possibly be proved? I'd even hazard a guess that many of these people, including the Dutch coach, hadn't even seen the tackle before they started spouting off.

Collymore started this. Don't underestimate the power of Talksport on the Chav Nation and he was the one on National Airwaves during and immediately after the game talking about a 'horrendous tackle'. He stoked the flames and I hold him largely responsible for this pathetic witch hunt.

It wasn't a foul and it wasn't even the worst tackle in the game. That's the truth of the matter.

I would normally say that something like this should be left to the Scousers but I want him brought to task. The man, and that station, need reminding of their responsibilities.

 

[u2fme2]

well done and yes will be doing so

 

[bowdonblue]

Collymore is a tool, and Talksport is crap - but seriously, this thread is embarassing.

Are we really becoming like the scousers??

No I couldn't!! Plus I'm not as antagonistic in person, one just tends to be more honest on a forum and for the record, I like Pidge, I just find his anti-anti-city bashing thing tiresome buts it's only my opinion. JMA however, I can't say I like.

Well he'll be around the ground for the Poznan game! Maybe a banner in full view of the 5 cameras might get our feelings across!

What I'd like to know is what City fans views would be if Cattermole, a player with a long history of indiscipline of the pitch broke Adam Johnsons leg with a reckless challenge?. What would you feel like if Scholes broke De Jongs leg?.

were you born like that or do you have to practice?

I would be distraught, but my level of anger would depend on the nature of the challenge that broke the leg.

Your loaded question misses the point we are making. The tackle does not warrant the level of hysteria it has produced.

How's young Rodwell coming on, is he ready for a big club yet?

That depends on the nature of the tackle obviously, or hadn't you considered that? Clearly you feel that NDJs tackle was harsh, having viewed it at the match and on numerous replays I would say whoever made that tackle whether it was a City player or not I genuinely feel it was not made with malice or intent.

Every club has players that are perceived as hard men on the pitch, and every team has a player that makes challenges that infuriate rival fans so lets not get all holier than though. The moral outrage, and witchunt being conducted against Nigel De Jong is quite obscene. Now we have some fucking doctor stating about the brutality in the modern game and wishes to raise this at the next FIFA governing body. For FUCK sake get a grip. Tackles in the 60s, 70s & and even the 80s were harsh. Nowadays footballers cannot fart without a yellow card being dished out. Anyone care to remember how Kevin Horlock was booked for "walking too aggresively"?

So if it was Lee Cattermole that made that challenge I would say the same.

I'd be gutted but I wouldn't expect a ferocious media shitstorm against a player to the extent that his international career was effectively ended.

What would you do if one of your beloved dippers was constantly lambasted for committing a "foul" that the ref and his assitants thought was legit,the opposition manager grudgingly thought was legit,the opposition players didn't react to and the FA refused to take any further action over?

You'd either be morally outraged or downing tools and crying like fucking babies at the injustice of it all.

Another obsessed dipper fantasist.
