Media Discussion - 2023/24

[Odd socks]

I could like and quote any of the above about the BBC football coverage, today it's at its all time low.
It's nothing else but a dipper fan zone with quote after quote from "Anon" who are having a break from their normal 115 charge shit.
Only felt like watching our match on MOtD this morning and it was a fair reflection on the match ( didn't watch the rest) but the online have your say and the rest of it is hitting a new low.
These cunts get access all areas at city and this is the best they can do, times will change and I look forward to it but it's poor from the non bias BBC.

Some dickhead on there says Erling should be fired

It's unbelievable isn't it? Nearly every comment is an hysterical overreaction criticising Haaland and the BBC are more than happy to publish them. Yet when you question this sort of crap on a HYS, they delete your comments as offensive, or some other bullshit excuse!

Contrast to the candle lighting and victim support hotline when the officials fucked up in the tramps match v spurs and you see how differently we are perceived in the media.
I'd go as far as saying there was a day of mourning in the sky sports studio after their match v spurs.

The media are a fuckin disgrace in this country.

It's a f***ing disgrace. The Daily Star has the headline

Every picture of Erling Haaland screaming at Simon Hooper after Man City denied advantage.​

It then goes on to show 19 full blown pictures of Erling remonstrating with the ref. Elsewhere, apparently according to 'Sly Sports', Hooper won't be asked to stand down in this weeks Prem games. 'Clear and obvious' doesn't even cover it.

Compare and contrast to how Liverpool used their media lackeys to create hysteria over the off side decision at Spurs a couple of months back. Using public statements to highlight and question the integrity of the referees from the club. There won’t be a clamour to get yesterday’s ref stood down like they did with the officials that fucked up the VAR calls.

There was all the noise last week about the ref being from Ashton for the City V Liverpool game. Could you imagine the outrage if that decision was the other way round and they had a goal to make it two Nil ruled out?

Because we win everything and we are the biggest best club in the world

I can already see the media are pushing the 'charge Haaland and ban him' line way more than actually the decision that caused it.

Steer clear of the BBC. It’s toxic with the faux outrage of “Anon” opposition fans who want the book thrown at him. The BBC are an embarrassment trying to stir things up

The media gaslighting with anything City related is off the scale at the moment. The FFP charges have been like nothing I’ve seen before and this is just another example of whipping up the general public to create this narrative.

City probably won’t make a public comment about the Referee, unlike the well oiled and orchestrated Scousers. That’s what City have decided to do on most matters that effect the club.

Of course the narrative is about Haaland's reaction vs the very clear decision making by the ref to influence the game in a particular way. Whereas i've wondered outloud about an agenda within the PL and the referess, until yesterday i don't think there was any concrete evidence, the same could not be said about the media - who do not hide their allegiences.
