Complaint to BBC regarding Pete the Badge

Yet more impartiality from the BBC on Radio 5 Live , "the manchester cold war" a programme on the war between city and the Rgas recruiting local football talent . In the red corner , presenter Chapman a Rag , Andy Mitten a Rag , coach of Fletcher Rangers a Rag , in the blue corner NO F*CKER. The Fletcher Rangers coach accuses City of poaching a young player from the Rags and after two weeks discarding him which led to the kid not playing football for the next two years , and i do not believe a word of that , he is a f*cking liar , and then Mitten constantly referring to our billions influencing parents. The BBC are taking absolutely no notice of our complaints , so lets do something next Wednesday for the FA Cup replay , enough is enough . A nice chant of "You can stick your TV licence up your arse" etc etc , would be a good start.

The key difference mate is this isn't a one on one insult, this is a nationally funded, global institute throwing an insult at a single fan. That's why it should cause outrage as it has

Thanks for the heads up. I'd downloaded the podcast to listen to today but it sounds like you've spared me 90 minutes of teeth nashing.

Fair enough and if he is upset by it then the complaint is legitimate. But no one has spoken to him. I'm just not a fan of people being offended on behalf of someone else, when the person themselves arent offended.

It's not about being offended. I'm not, I just think they're ***** (the original title was spot on) and need taking down a peg. Whilst the bullying of Pete was bad enough, and I would hope decent people would stand up to bullies in any form, it's not just about that one incident. If the BBC were to get away with this without redress, which they're not going to, then it gives them license to lower standard even more towards those of Red Issue. The sporting journalistic standards at the BBC have been slipping immeasurably since they moved to Salford and the number of United themed documentaries has been ridiculous, not to mention the blanket FA Cup coverage. See Prestwich Blue's piece a few pages back which puts things into more detail.

This incident affects all City fans not just Pete. it's the way we, as fans, are portrayed by the national broadcaster. It would be a sad day when they can blatantly take the piss and nobody cares. Leave that to Paddy Power etc. I wouldn't call them out for two reasons, they give it out to everyone and are often very funny and, if I didn't like it, I would not give them my business. The BBC example was just pure bitter, hatred and, legally, we have to pay them even if we don't use their live content.

Great post and saves me responding as you've nailed the issue. I'd already drafted an email to the Head of Sport before the Swansea game, detailing various incidents. But the two on that day, plus the shameless plugging of a rag commercial partner, finally made me hit the 'Send' button.

Prepare to be told that our PR department will be working professionally, diligently and quietly behind the scenes.
In reality they are ineffectual and the media know it. Not fit for purpose.

Blatant lies being told about City on BBC Radio 5 last night, will we do anything?
We have to act surely, it's becoming ridiculous...
 
Some valid points but - they are bitter lying twats some of these tossers.

The flecther moss guy
  • RAG Lie: City give kits out to bribe kids. lies about us saying we give kits out - only get one @9
  • RAG Lie: City signed a player for Utd at 12 and released him 2 weeks later.
  • RAG Lie: We are terrible offering a private education - "immoral" no less.
 
The BBC Premier League show was at it last night.

Interview with Mata first, fair enough.

This was then followed by an interview with the new Swansea Manager where they spent a good portion of it talking about what it was like to work with Zlatan and what a top guy he was!

The BBC is Rag state tv at the moment.

Time to get a petition going to get one or all moved on in our PR. How can Vicki Kloss ensure our club is hated more than her ex employer. Some fookin miracle that is. Go now ffs! For the masses go now.

The third one isn't a lie, it's just an absolutely ridiculous and (likely) falsely given opinion. It's like calling somebody immoral for doing volunteer work for those in need.
 
just sent yet another complaint to the BBC asking why they had three representatives from the Rags and none from City regarding the Manchester cold war sham of a programme , but could someone please explain why the club stands by and listens to three Rags state untruths about an academy we have spent £500m building , these three liars and the BBC could do so much damage to that investment .Whilst our PR dept., sit idly by thinking everything is rosey in the garden and do nothing . If our PR dept cared half as much as our supporters do about this football club we would have half a chance , but they are just employees of the club who probably have never supported the club or have any affinity with our club. Sack the lot of them and get some died in the wool city supporters with the correct qualifications on the job , and we can start putting these media tw*ts back in their boxes

Possibly @prestwich blue can give a better insight on the workings of the PR team at City, but I suspect that many fans are frustrated at the way the BBC and media alike appear able to publish shit and nonsense regarding the club.

We are all aware that the Rags and Dippers with their " fanbases " are the ones which they seek to keep happy, but that just portrays the level of their integrity - all about keeping the braindeads happy, and forget the truth of the situation. The BBC are just a set of Rag loving cnuts, and make absolutely no pretence about that whatsoever.

I am saddened that we " appear " not to have a pro-active PR team , but I am like many on here, simply not itk.

I would really like to see our profile being seriously raised though and the media / BBC made up stories and untruths rubbished officially.
 
This BBC agenda is doing us no favours. The BBC are still a widely respected media outlet outside the UK; to the point that people blindly believe everything they put out. The club need to get a grip before these c***s do irreversible damage.
