The football output is matched by the political output. The bbc is not fit for purpose and needs fucking off.

Absolute rubbish. You take a measured, reasonable post from me, and spout that unsupported, sweeping comment in reply.
I’m surprised you didn’t throw in that you don’t pay your licence fee, and Saville or Harris too, and go for the full bbc bingo.

Get it on the politics sub-forum mate, cos although I’m interested to see you justify and detail what is so wrong with their political output, this is a football media thread (I think).

And leave a chasm that would get filled by the Rupert Murdoch's of the world, what a bang up idea. I've always thought there wasn't enough misinformation around.

So the football output is biased but the rest of it defo isn’t?…ok. The bbc is bought and paid for just like the daily mail. You refuse to accept that which is nice. I don’t. It needs fucking off.

The football output is bought and paid for just like the rest of the output. Bless you being all nostalgic and shite.

I liked the post - then thought for a few seconds.
The BBC in general just needs to move back to neutrality rather than trying to constantly pander to the latest whim

Never going to happen. If Labour put there big girl pants on they may wrestle control away from what we have now but that will only be more of the same. The profit making products will still continue. The biased football/political output will be less misinformation in the round.

I agree mate..City fans should be getting behind the team not kicking them when we are down.
I'm seriously pissed off about losing to the rag cunts and I can understand some fans moaning but fuck me I'm sure we will turn it around soon..
If I'm wrong and we don't ..well then we have to get behind the team even more...easy to support them when we are winning but we need to stick by them when we aren't.

We will all still support them, 35 years of nothingness didn’t stop me. But the players get paid big money to take flack when they stink the place out as well as acclaim when they are winning

Indeed - don't encourage booing at the stadium doesn’t sit well - but if players can't take criticism they've chosen the wrong career path

Personally I prefer not to call them out but I know feelings are running high at the moment..
Mind you I wasn't full of joy on Sunday myself and might have said a few things I would have regretted if I had posted just after the game.
Wasn't easy walking down from SS3 with those rag cunts celebrating..

City Xtra (@cityxtra.bsky.social)

#ManCity have lodged a complaint with BBC Radio Manchester after no dedicated City reporter was present from the station for the pre-derby press conference, which they believe is the first time in living memory for such an occurrence. Full article for more information on the Daily Mail website!

Does seem like a bit of a strange fight to pick, to me at least. The amount of shit we’ve had thrown at us by other outlets, but we choose to publicly go after our local radio station over something relatively trivial? Bizarre.

I think the opposite.
The BBC have shown their disdain for us ever since we toppled their beloved red shirt cartel.
This is the first time, that I can recall, that we’ve actually been proactive in calling out the BBC, even if it is GMR. Start at the bottom and work our way up.
As the 115 dissolves into nothingness, we should then really turn the screw on those that have besmirched us over the past 4 or 5 years.
That’s my tuppence hapenny on it anyway.

I agree this issue is minor but allows City at this present time to push back against the media without diving into the more contentious matters. It’s the start of something.

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

You would think that the local, neutral broadcaster would be there to give impartial commentary on what is going on. Seems that neutrality as ended and our offensive may have just begun.
