Just want to say thanks to everybody who has e mailed The Irish Independent after their scurrilous "c***s" article on Sunday.
The journalist is dion fanning who's dad aengus fanning is the editor. The sports editor who approved the piece is John Greene.
Please e mail complaints to
afanning@independent.ie and if you want to you can copy the other clown
jgreene@independent.ie
There is one posting on here who says that dion fanning wrote a "good e mail reply" and that John Greene spoke to him admitting how he could see it could cause offence.
That must have been after I spoke to him on Tues afternoon when Greene said there had been ... and I quote "ZERO complaints" That he was perfectly happy with the piece and thats why he cleared it for publication in last Sundays Independent!
He said the thought the piece was absolutely fine including the word c***s. He said he wasn't aware that it had been removed from their website.
He also said the article had been more or less "proven to be accurate" because of Bellamy's behaviour on derby day!
Because Im Irish living UK and have been a Blue for over 35 years he also suggested that I come on here and read what he called "the vast majority of postings about this article being racist- anti Irish"
Lets stick together on this. The club, the players and us the fans are developing a siege mentality... we will need it.
We all love City. I can tell you where my seat was at Maine Road for years. I still go to more games in a season than the average Rag or (any other sky sports "football fan) goes to in a lifetime!
Please e mail the editor if you feel newspapers should not get away with calling people c***s.
Come On You Blue Boys.
