Excellent read DH and spot on, those Liverpool legends should be ashamed of themselves.
I don't think I've ever wanted a player to succeed at City so much. I'd love him to ram all that vitriol down their throats.

I feel exactly the same.
 
BBC web site now has an item under the heading "Manchester", that ex City keeper Carlo Nash has been cleared in Chester crown court of stalking his ex wife.

What has it got to do with MCFC?

You're right, a story about the planet's first ever real-life vampire should have been in the World News section.

It's been posted as a national story on their website. and specifically links "Manchester City" in the story headline...this is again clickbait to get the traffic in.

if you look at Carlo Nash's career, he played double amount of games for clubs like Stockport, Preston, Played 20 for Crystal Palace and was a member of Manchester Uniteds Famous Youth Academy... no mention of that though BBC eh?

fucking vermin the lot of 'em.

A few major media outlets are headlining the story as "Ex Man City goalkeeper..." But if you search on Google, The Mail have it as "Manchester City goalkeeper..." (while the story itself says "Former Man City...)

We should be deluging them with complaints about this until they realise that pissing us off is going to cause them more trouble than it's worth.

God knows what the headline would have been if he was found guilty! Manchester City guilty of stalking horror? Raheem Stirling linked to stalking tragedy?

Seems that the BBC website shows today's ''Headlines'' in Mirror Sport via its football gossip section which actually is factual rather than skewed regarding our win in Vietnam.
Maybe our outrage has an effect ?

"Former Stockport County goalkeeper" is hardly going to draw people in compared to "Former Manchester City"
We are head liners and as such, when misdemeanour's of former players occur, we will always be linked into the story
 
Whether we like it or not the media will always find an angle to attract its paying public.
I had no idea who the daughter of Whitney Houston was until her death was reported yesterday with of course the link to the late WH. It is doubtful the worlds press would report such a story with a random person.

Unfortunately we are the ones that sell their product so any link they can find will do nicely.

I remember the late Bill Shankly perhaps tongue in cheek saying that '' some think football is a matter of life and death but it isn't it is much more serious than that.''
Seems that the media has tried to sell its product by employing pundits who take this BS saying seriously (Bill Shankly as well as Bull Sh**).

we can't even deluge them on here without our privileges being withdrawn!
 
Noticed today a change in media reporting where club spending has become a virtue rather than a sin.
Seems Arsenal and Chelsea are disputing this 'title'.

And if you look under the "Lancashire" section he's referred to as "Former Preston keeper...".

Exactly, they all do it by linking a single event to a local or national audience. It sells the single story to as many people they can via headlines.

I remember many years ago queuing for a ferry on the south coast when a newspaper lad with an eye for sales sold virtually all his papers quickly by having a handwritten ''headline'' poster claiming many dead in a ferry disaster.
It turned out to be somewhere in Indonesia but all he did was sell his newspapers.
 
scum bag media now picking up on the Vietnamese guy who burnt his tickets - The Indy is actually linking it specifically to Sterling in its headline - Ridiculous
 
Nothing like sensationalising this burnt ticket shite in Vietnam is there?. Every media outlet wetting their panties because they can cast City as horrible vulgarians, who earn so much money that they only care about themselves. Any sniff they get of a negative City story, and they're on to it in a fucking flash.

Total nothing story mate, but because it's City, they will try and make out it's an absolute disgrace. Any other team did this, fuck all would be mentioned, and even if it was another team, who gives a fuck.

Total bullshit story. With tickets costing £50 - two months' wages for the average Vietnamese - who the fuck is going to buy them just to burn them? If this incident actually ever happened some media twat has bought them and paid a local to publicly burn them.
