The UK media cow towing to the biggest set of shithouse fans in World football.

Welcome to the dystopia created by a scousephobia that has been perpetrated by the citizens of Liverpool upon the rest of society.

Its the culmination of a desire to protect Scousers from any form of criticism regarding their heinous actions of the past, present or future. They deny, deflect, obfuscate, project and wallow in the inequity of victimhood for any slight, defamation or finger of blame in relation to any negative matter associated with Liverpool FC or its fans.

Up to and including Heysel, they were fair game like any other fanbase who behaved like depraved morons, particularly theirs though, whose use of box cutters and craft knives was a well known speciality and the well documented "robs" across Europe.

At the time of Heysel they were lambasted and rightly so for causing deaths of Juventus fans by their actions and it was the climax of the hooligan problems endemic to the game at the time. European football authorities deemed it fit to punish the entirety of UK football clubs with a 5 year ban extended by a year for them. We can argue the merits and equity of that decision ad infinitum but that was how it was handled.

This was obviously a huge stain on LFC, they knew it and their reputation was massively damaged. Many of their allies then sought to mitigate that damage and defect the blame, "crumbling stadiums", whataboutery of the highest order, Chelsea fans and other garbage to muddy the waters of blame. Never the less legal responsibility for deaths was laid at their door and their fans.

The horrendous events of Hillsborough resulting in the deaths of 96(97) LFC fans is a huge tragedy in itself whose victims bear no blame. The decades long investigations, public enquiries and court cases have hopefully documented organisational and Police failings on that day as to where responsibility does lie. I doubt the loved ones of the fans that never came home feel justice has been served for their loss. Its my opinion that this disaster could have occurred to any club and its fans who made the semi-final that year and were allocated Leppings Lane end. We should be thankfull it wasn't us.

The controversy of Hillsborough was in its reporting in the media. Sensationalism and eagerness to pile in on LFC had false reports of thieving from the dead and that the overcrowding was somehow their fault, despite the contributory actions of West Yorkshire Police in reaction to poor crowd control. This sustained attack by the media comprised of supposition, lies and deliberate falsehoods to protect the Police and FA caused huge animosity in Liverpool and was seen as a deliberate slight on the very essence of scouseness and got the outrage, rebuke and distain it deserved. I'm pretty sure Mancunia would be equally outraged at similar treatment by southern based media wankers.

Since then however and due to the recognition of the media's culpability in those lies, any reporting of a discretion by LFC and its fanbase no matter how small brings a tsunami of indignation and denial. Reporting of facts can bring about terminations of employment for journalists. A lifetime of hate mail and death threats awaits any unfortunate miscreant. This of course has led to the Goebels like propaganda department of Scouseology where media apologists fawn over everything Liverpool where no word of disent from the party line or critic of action can be tolerated. I give you the Liverpool Echo and its media partners and affiliates.

It would appear even Merseyside Police Force investigate matters associated with them with complete indifference like the Gestapo would in dealing with accusations of black shirt violence perpetrated upon ethnic minorities. Failure to find any evidence in any investigation and matters quickly swept under the proverbial carpet whilst advocating the law courts make an offence of "provocation" for ethnic minorities who run away from black shirted officers. Their inability to locate scouse criminals committing crimes on film is somewhat akin to inspector Clueso without the laughs.

Every home crowd is partisan of course but their incessant whining about every perceived injustice is fucking nauseating. They booed Anthony Taylor all night accusing him of being a "Manc" yet he gave them 2 penalties, both arguably should have been overturned by VAR, one for Dias kicking Burn, initiating the contact and then deliberately falling over and the other the most blatant dive you will ever see by Jotta the renowned roller skater. The contact for this penalty several degrees less than that visited upon a Newcastle player in Liverpools box only moments earlier, with no review.

What a set of irrational tools they really are. If you ever have the misfortune to visit RAWK you will find an alternate reality where conspiracy and fiction intermingle like a complex dystopia. It's a netherworld of Trumpian logic, hate, vengeance and perceived injustice. A bile filled intellectually deficient morass of animosity.

They boo the national anthem and want Scouseland not to be part of England. This is about the only thing I can agree with them on. If that part of the NW broke off and floated off into the Irish Sea it would do us all a favour.

Happy New Year everyone except that lot.

If the emails had not been doctored there wouldn’t have been any articles & therefore any charges.

The world believes we are guilty & caught hook line & sinker with our own emails. It’s absolutely significant to the story.

I really don't think that's the case. CAS had the leaked emails and the originals from City and found that one of them was actually two separate ones spliced together "which gives a somewhat distorted impression.....but did not affect the veracity of the leaked emails on which UEFA primarily based its case." Articles and charges would certainly have arisen even if Der Spiegel had changed nothing from the originals.

There is a laddish cultural issue in the online (and social media) teams at the BBC which has not been addressed. A lot of the content about City is driven by in-house banter. It really is a disgrace but it will not change anytime soon. There are some excellent professional journalists there but the lack of editorial control comes from the top. People lower down the food chain fear for their careers. Most of the media is like that these days. Integrity is the first casualty when it comes to saving your own job.

So you’re saying UEFA based its case on the emails & CAS found against them…..

However It’s the court of public opinion as the emails are continually used as evidence & yet no-one has mentioned they are spliced. It’s an incredibly important fact.

Yes, CAS didn’t think the emails were proof of anything, nor that the changes made to them made any difference one way or another

"Liverpool playing like champions"
"Slick Liverpool see off Newcastle"
"Endo is most impressive summer signing"
"Man City latest, I hope they don't win it"

Just fookin' fook off you Tax-Funded Twatbags.

I thought MediaCity were just rag-obsessed? Turns out they like any club with the "right colour shirt".

Or is it the right colour owner?

Think Spitty only agreed that Jota dived, because LFC were already 3-2 up when Jota stuttered, then collapsed.
Don't mind Shearer, as he is usually fair.
Wrighty, on the other hand is very biased towards the Goons...

Wrighty is very biased towards Arsenal, which isn't that surprising considering his very impressive career there. To be fair he has said in the past that he does hold City in fairly high regard as they 'treated my boys well', not sure that would stretch as far as wanting us to win the Prem over the Goons though!!.
Going back to the Liverpool pens, I saw the first one on the news last night which was an absolutely pathetically shocking dive, a booking for simulation should have resulted.
The 2nd one they didn't show... I've not seen it , was it as bad? Apart from looking at the results I try by best to avoid any nauseating media coverage/fawning over the red shifted ones (unless any of them have lost ofcourse!!)
