That’s a good point. I wondered why this (an insignificant thing, really) of all the shit we’ve got in the media, would be the thing that City lodge a complaint about… but it makes sense now!I thnk the poster who mentioned earlier about our sponsor, Etihad, being the butt of the quip as much as City, is spot on.
Very dense of Beglin to think that nobody connected with Etihad would be watching the game on BEIN, and not feel his little joke could damage the brand.
City may have let it go, but the expectation for a major brand sponsor and long term partner will be for us to highlight it lest it damage their brand.
A concept lost on so many rags and dippers.Going to the game is a big part of the answer because that’s what a passionate fan base does. Not every fan to every game of course.
I don’t worry about the other Clubs or a few empty seats. I just like to see good support for the lads at the match.
Our support IS very good, you can laugh all you want.Hahahahahaha. Lolololol
Plus the small matter of Covid unless the ridiculous remarks about the club being somehow devious in allegedly NOT getting it includes fans not getting it as well.Agree.
Every club has the same problem with empty seats and atmosphere. As Gorton says its only City that this is pointed out plus our transfer fees. That's why Beglin said it, it's now subconsciously in their minds. Commentators have called us utd on tv, happens more than I would like. The press/media keep saying utd are in Manchester clearly a lie.
It is now becoming very expensive to get tomatches with higher petrol costs, household cost, food, heating etc the premier inn for midweek games lol.
Did you see the post earlier when our own Trev called Liverpool ‘the dippers’? Should he have got sacked?
The answer, as with Beglin, is no.
I have been saying as much to a Dipper this morning. I noticed on MOTF that each time the Dippers got a corner in the first half of their game against Brentford, there was a sizeable group of empty seats.A concept lost on so many rags and dippers.
There's a simple solution to your ire.This is the thing. It was a PLP broadcast shown across the globe. Such defamatory remarks are taken in by the audience and taken as gospel. You only have to look at the replies to any City article on twitter from people in Scandinavia to Africa to Australia, all repeating the same Emptihad, no fans, plastic fans and they really do believe it.
Has there been any official statement from them regarding our complaint?an official Premier League production.
Two different things thoughDid you see the post earlier when our own Trev called Liverpool ‘the dippers’? Should he have got sacked?
The answer, as with Beglin, is no.
And four times longer than the motm thread..Thread still going weird
The PL being open and forthcoming? Naah.Has there been any official statement from them regarding our complaint?
We should let them know that Beglin isn't welcome to the Etihad gantry for future commentaries, if an official apology isn't forthcoming.
I was laughing because I had the vision of you fighting off these attempts for me to get you to the game. Do what you want with your own time.Our support IS very good, you can laugh all you want.
There's a simple solution to your ire.
You could take your own advice and leave the thread without posting telling people it does not bother you and they shouldn’t be bothered either!There's a simple solution to your ire.
I do t know what you are on about. If you want to be deeply offended by some ex Dipper player then go for it. I’m just happy supporting the lads on the pitch to Maximise our chances of beating the bin dippers at football.Yep, that’s really really funny . .
But the fact remains that we have higher average crowds and higher average seat occupancy than liverpoo do . . but the deluded scouse feral constantly berate our attendances (which are better than theirs) and some gullible idiots believe them -
if you don’t believe that then wait until you’ve recovered from your bout of inappropriate hilarity and check the facts .
The Premier League isn't PLP (Premier League Productions)The PL being open and forthcoming? Naah.
I suspect they have had a word with Beglin and praise for City and Etihad will be gushing from him for the rest of the season to make up.
Btw, I regularly watch the PL stream and I would say he has always been fair to City. Not sure what the hell he was thinking.
