Does make me wonder how Eubank can be so righteous when he killed someone and got away with a slap on the wrist.

think your getting him mixed up with Prince Nas Hamed to be fair, they both boxed and jumped over the top ropes as an entrance but that’s where the similarities end

Hard to say but he was fined £250 and 6 points, he wasn't speeding and said his car slid on grit on the road when he braked for a corner.

Awful for the dead man's family but sometimes things are just a genuine accident.

Though I think ot would torture me that I had killed a person for the rest of my life, my sister's boyfriend (at the time) killed a child who biked straight out of an unofficial cut from woodland next to a 40moh road and rode straight in front of his car, he cradled him as he died, he was never the same man after that tbh.

Very true there are genuine accidents but to slide on grit to the extent you can kill someone then you aren’t driving according to the conditions

With regard to your sister’s boyfriend that is so tragic and respect to him for that. I can’t imagine what it was like. Thanks for sharing.

Can’t remember who came up with the game of reporting comments on BBC HYS but it’s great fun.

Reported a comment after the Brentford game that said “cheats always prosper”

Was rejected as it didn’t break house rules. Escalated it to ask who had been convicted of cheating?

The response

Nice one. Trust me it's a great game.

What a wanker

Got his arse handed to him and trying to cover it.

I remember Keegan doing a piece for MuEN before both legs of 2010 League Cup semi finals. It went into cocksucking excitement when he reported "there are 200 high risk yoonited fans near the Asda, opposite the Etihad." Then before the second leg at his beloved swamp, is where his pathetic LIVE article all went wrong. He is in with 800 high risk City fans approaching the theatre of wet dreams. He reports there are a few rags trying to goad the Blues. We are approaching the Matt Busby statue, then all of a sudden he types "City have broken the escort and are attacking people" or summat of that nature. The said LIVE report suddenly ends and no more was reported on it since. The tool obviously shit himself and wasn't getting the desired result for his stupid article. An absolute buffoon.

I agree it’s like he’s facing a parliamentary inquiry, there’s no need for it , it’s boring it’s repetitive. I think if both pep and us had our way we’d fuck it off completely, the club need to stop worrying about the image grow some town halls , they desperately need us more than we need them.

Could easily be sorted by a briefing to the media before these press conferences - Pep will only be answering football related questions about the game in question.

A little hint. When you ask for a post to be deleted, refer to the various investigations into the club (2014 settled without admitting guilt, 2019 cleared by CAS and 2023/4 merely allegations at this point) so the reference to the club cheating is, firstly, without evidence and possibly libellous, secondly, inflammatory, and, thirdly, off -topic. All of which, I suggest, breach the HYS terms.

That puts the fear of God into the moderators. :)

Also, give yourself a HYS name that suggests a legal background ;)

Horse and bolted comes to mind. No one will be going back to an archived page on City v Brentford so whether it stays or gets removed is pretty irrelevant.

It should have been deleted at the time without the delay caused by escalation.

And it should be City who are fucking hammering the BBC for this not fans.

It’s not difficult.

 

[hello]

Any bets on first media outlet to link Alves to city following his conviction?

I'm guessing he's thinking of Michael Watson who was seriously injured
