Noticed an "article" in the oirish times yesterday, the headline was along the lines of pep-ball is ruining football.......

The bigoted media are utterly out of touch with most people, unfortunately the gaurdion and the heil have a large online presence especially with yank xenophobes.

Naaah, whiny losers with no accountability ruin football. Exactly at the moment when they try to force a change in their favour by threatening to take their ball home.

They are a public broadcasting operation. They shouldn't need to look for clicks in this country.

I'm trying to find the article from around 15 years ago where it was revealed the scum has met with BBC Sport to discuss an 'arrangement' and we're publicly told to fuck off. Privately the editorial decisions seem the opposite. Do BBc Sport have a rag in charge of them like the News has a Tory?

Which is what’s happening almost daily on the bbc transfer gossip page. Every day at least three players linked to rag scum, and boring shit about someone like Fulham, yet despite everyone knowing we need new signings there is almost never anything linking us to signings. That has to be deliberate from the bbc.

The only reason the transfer gossip section exists on BBC online is to attract clicks. It is a way for the BBC to get round their own impartiality rules by essentially publishing fake news from other outlets. It is actually one of the most popular sections they have in terms of audience traffic. I don't actually blame them for doing it but it is the hypocrisy I can't stand. They still have many professional journalists who at least try to be impartial but there is also a small element who make no pretence of their contempt for City. Those people have no right to be working for a publically-funded media organisation.

BBC Manchester are rights holders to us in terms of radio unlike United. Also as the article mentioned, this has never happened to any top flight club in living memory. It was made clear that this is a culmination of numerous things rather than just a one off.

And we're not making a complaint on grounds of content, we're making a complaint that someone who we essentially gift the rights to and are a publicly funded national broadcaster are covering us in a way that they not covering any other team in the league now or within living memory.

It’s a clear way of proving that they are not impartial, a shot across the bows. Why do we have to honour a relationship that clearly isn’t honourable. The bbc has had a lot of controversy lately, they haven’t learnt from Savile with Huw Edwards scandal. There is obviously a culture of we can do what we want. GMR would not list on top 1000 of things City are arsed about but like in the ATP shareholder loans, sometimes it’s the clearest way of proving you are being treated unfairly.

Tim Davie Director General turned down the CEO role of the premier league.

The BBC gets a huge volume (probably its biggest segment) of its audience from overseas, where advertising is carried on their content. They are under constant financial pressure so they need that income (coupled with sales of programmes abroad) more than ever.

It’s a real conflict, the whole point is you shouldn’t be a click bait commercial entity. More importantly the BBC hasn’t been sold off like the rest of its assets despite being worth a fortune as propaganda is a vital tool of every nation, but if your people lose faith in you it’s pointless.

The only information I trust from the BBC is the weather forecast and that quite often is very inaccurate.

Did anyone watch the BBC sports review of the year, the piece about football with the irish actor (bearded guy from Kin) doing the voice over, City got a quick mention then he took the piss about 'things ending!!', then showed the rags winning the fa cup, and finishing with him humming GGMU, i should really know better to watch that crap, since Ryan Wilson won Sports personality(!!) of the year a while back.

The main annoyance about SPOTY is that they pick who you're allowed to vote for.

The one thing that unites the Gligg McGloggs North and South, is the rags
 
Rashford article by Sly Stone on BBC United - Mediacity, Football.

The big nosed rag, ****, couldn’t help himself.

Part of the article. No link.

Who could afford Rashford?​

Rashford is one of United's highest earners, with a basic wage in excess of £300,000 a week. Only a small number of clubs can afford that salary and, for a variety of reasons, some of them are not in the market.

In Spain, Barcelona's financial issues are well known. Real Madrid are already struggling to find the right attacking combination from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.

Atletico paid huge money to Manchester City for Julian Alvarez just before the summer transfer deadline.

Of England's top clubs, Manchester City and Liverpool seem a bit of a stretch, even with City in such poor form.
