Hughes calls for clarity over Tevez row, MuEN block comments

[stuart brennan]

My take on all this - for what it's worth - and not being a reader of newspapers, including the MEN, is that all this 'anti City' coverage alluded to on here goes in one ear and out the other, ie., I couldn't care less. As for SB coming on here to give his side of the story, I think he is flogging an already dead horse. Don't read the papers folks, dead easy.

Can I ask you from where you get your information? Not being smart or anything, I'm just interested where people who don't read papers get their info from

They aren't facts then are they? Facts aren't things that are based on your personal experiences, those are called opinions.

Erm, if my posts were blocked by the MUEN then this is a fact and not an opinion - or like Brennan are you also accusing me of lying?
If you have an experience it becomes something that has happened hence it becomes a fact.[/quote]


I think the 'not factual' part is where you said that rags are given carte blanche to post what they want. SB said that the moderator of comments is a blue, so this is not the case. Without asking every rag and every blue who has attempted to post a comment, you cannot say this is 'fact'.

Has it been explained yet why the two pro-Tevez articles from last week had there comments blocked?

Which two pro-Tevez articles were they?
We have not run any "pro-Tevez" articles with regard to what he did in Munich.
If you mean articles which gave Tevez's point of view (a wholly different thing, and essential in a democracy), then the reason - as I have stated - was legal.
There is an ongoing legal matter between the MEN and Joorabchian (even though some people on here seem to think we are in his pocket), and we have to be careful what we say, and that includes allowing comments on the website.
You will find that ongoing court cases in the news section also have the "comments" link disabled, for similar reasons.

Newsnight. That's the only news programme I watch TBH, and they rarely cover football.

Never had a problem with stuart brennan's work considering everyone knows he's a rag. Peter Spencer on the other hand.....he's always negative about us when called upon by the radio stations and always turns a topic on City to how everything United do is great.

No daft fookers mate just people with a different opinion to you. Its one of the great things about a forum, removes you out of your small circle and enables you to hear the opinion of others, who may on occasions come from a very different standpoint.

You obviously missed the wink at the end of the post.
You must try harder.
Your post had deeply upset me and I`ll probably not sleep tonight.<br /><br />-- Sun Oct 09, 2011 5:37 pm --<br /><br />

If you mean by listening to 'daft fookers' on here, then yes, you're correct.

Have you kept a copy of any of the posts which were blocked?
If not, next time you have a comment blocked, copy it and put it on here and I will either give you my opinion of why it was blocked, or try to find out why it was blocked.

As I've said, the lad who allows or blocks comments is a Blue, and a genuine lad - and he has not had anyone tell him he has to be biased towards United, or anything else of that ilk.
Why would we do that? That is the question that the conpsiracy theorists consistently fail to answer - what could it possibly benefit the MEN to be anti-City?
We get no help from United, Fergie hates us and, as I said, my own coverage of the Glazer takeover made me persona non grata at Old Trafford, and caused us a lot of problems with United.

Did the MUEN interview hughes or did they just print what he said elsewhere?

He wasn't interviewed by any of our staff. Without looking into it, I would guess he was interviewed by a Press Association reporter while he was at the Leaders in Football conference.
We subscribe to PA and will have got the story that way. It didn't go in the paper, just online - and the website basically runs just about every City and United story they can get their hands on, to keep the story count ticking over[/quote]
