Predictable, but incredible nonetheless, that Sky and the back pages completely ignore the Salah dive whilst focusing on the Delph challenge....

What’s worse is the Ref Watch goes out of it’s way to say why it ISN’T a dive (going so far as to “explain” why it is different to the Niasse and Lanzini incidents that saw retrospective action) whilst specifically stating that the Delph challenge was “without doubt” a red card, with Dermot saying “He has got the ball, there is no doubt about that, but what he has done is continue through with force and intensity.”

The ball was well gone, Ricardo has no hope of winning it from the very beginning, and only ran in to ensure contact with Delph! Dean didn’t even think it was a sending off until he talked to his linesman for cover and then produced the card, per instructions.
 


This is a real wind up for our fans, timing wise, and really shows how snide he is and how clever he constantly thinks he is with this type of tongue-in-cheek jab at City fans via Twitter and on the Football Weekly pod I've noticed him engage in more than once.

Really shocking for a so-called respected journalist who won some award this year for his work to write this stuff, imho. (EDIT: it was The FSF Awards 2018 Writer of the Year)

He is either being daft knowing how loud he was about the Football Leeks stuff where he bashed our fans afterwards, and I also would not be shocked that he knows there is a real documentary being made about us with all of that information and other things to counter the Amazon one labeled "propaganda" as another smear piece and what one could call "counter-propaganda" to point out "sportswashing" as he calls it.

What's so sad is that the critics can have points that I might even agree with and fair criticisms of the impact of neoliberalism on global football, but to act like we are the only ones worth of being the baddies cannot be considered fair and balanced and hurts their line of argumentation.

I’d tell him his grammar/punctuation is shocking for a supposed journalist

That Matthew Hedges story he wrote was a disgrace.

High St: frontline casualty of the Internet. Integrity of football journalism / Bias is another consequence.

Mike Dean again? Repeats his Bournemouth away trick last season,semding off sterling,just before the Liverpool match.And let a home defender take out Jesus with a flying tackle which lifted our centre forward clean off the ground.no booking.good old Bournemouth goving us a good hard game....

Now this year...its Delph......who did Dean talk to using the mouthpeice..? We ll never know.Thats modern day footy for you.
Is this the same Dean who moved house ,allegedly, so he could ref Liverpool and Everton games..?

Funny how every time i see him ref our games i think oh dear something bad is going to happen, Boxing day game i thought the foul on Danny was the bad decision should have known there was more to come!
I saw something from Martin Samuels somewhere he said something along the lines of if Sterling had done what Salad did he would have been hung, drawn and quartered, seems Dermot cleared that one up as Salah was clearly hacked down no question of a dive, as an absolute f*cking joke.
 
The Dippers winning the title would be far more popular than us retaining it and unfortunately we have to live with this bias if we want read or watch the media , personally i read watch and listen far less , it doesnt interest me when it goes overboard with our success or when we have a rough patch , the media have a narrative and a clear agenda and overall it needs treating with the disdain it clearly deserves , its just the wonderful new click bating world that we live in . Paul Hince in the Manchester Evening news , those were the days

I'm not an avid reader of the MEN these days but I often visit the online site and scroll down through all the news. Unfortunately it's obviously driven by click bait as it's usually awash with rag related news and articles, totally opposite as I recall the paper version back in the day which was always balanced between both clubs news.

Far more popular for the media maybe, however, most normal football fans can't stand the perma-grief club, and plastic fans, and see through the tired myths and favouritism they get.

Arsenal is within Islington Council’s demise, as they were at Highbury.

Jezzer is an Arse, in more ways than one. He's never, for the utmost 'sporting' reasons gonna be MP for a constituency that hasn't a team challenging the best in England and Europe. He'll be giving Islington Council a private bollocking of Fergie proportions!
