Media discussion - 2024/25

Who cares? They're just as shit with him in the side.

This may well be true, but the panel has created another grey area to cheat with, it has put the lawyer on the pitch, as now we will get, is it excessive force, every time a ref makes a decision the PL dislikes.
I hope Villa sue for loss of earnings at the end of the season, as the panel did not have the qualifications to decide if it was excessive force, and it was quite clearly a red, for being out of control, and a red for a studs up challenge.

His comments came across as malicious and full of venom. It was shocking that he was allowed to vent his spleen with no attempt to correct what he said. So John Bishop claims we must be guilty of something based on nothing and we should be ostracised by rival clubs and fans. We should be punished even before the result of the independent hearing. And this from an LFC fan who should know better than most what happens when the media runs a witch-hunt against your club.

What a complete bellend John bishop is
If they charge you with 115 things some of it must be right???????
Maybe just maybe that’s the premier leagues plan, carpet bomb and take any wins you can get.
Typical dipper, can’t win on the pitch so rant about it
Well you scouse ****, I heard many things about Liverpool fans at hillsborough. Does that mean because I heard so many things some must be true…….does it fuck
Thankfully you guys got your day in court and the rightful justice.

May I ask how long it took?
No - because in 1989 I’m sure you’d have just said that thatcher should ban teams from playing against Liverpool for the next 30 years!!

Don't know if it's already been posted but not got time to scan posts. Extremely truthful summary of the APT result in the MEN and the resulting shithousery with what the PL are doing.For once, well done MEN keep it up.

Embarrassing Premier League statement doesn't bode well for Man City charges

Manchester City proved the Premier League's Associated Party Transaction rules were unlawful, discriminatory and against UK competition law - but you'd barely know it.

I only ever manage a couple of paragraphs in a MEN story before giving up watching it reload and jump all over the place. As good a website as the Premier League is an organisation

Michael Grey telling the boiled bollock the truth about the verdict.

"PL are only claiming victory for city lawyers explaining to them what they did wrong."

Sacked in the morning...

You know, 40 - 50 years ago we didn't have all this bollocks.

Even in the bad old days of hooligans etc, I could get on a train, sit opposite someone, who then clocked my pin badge. It might have been a Chelsea, Villa, Everton or Leeds fan. We'd have a converstion about football. It didn't matter what team it was, what league they were in, fans in them days were educated about the game. Non of this "we're bigger than you" bullshit. Just a converstaion about football in general. Even the write ups in papers by "knowledgable reporters" were well worth a read.

Not anymore.

I hardly know anything about other teams now. I stopped reading/buying papers many moons ago. I deliberately avoid other fans because I know what's coming. It's just a merry-go-round of click bait tossers who have no idea or are just stirring the pot trying to score points.

Fuck'em all.

I dunno that too much has changed in the real world? If we bump into opposition fans in a pub or wherever these days, still the vast majority of times you have a civilised conversation about football. Everyone talks about which fans they ‘hate’ and nonsense like that. But I think there’s still a mutual respect amongst most match going fans towards each other.

If the very same fans you’ve had a friendly chat with get in the ground and start singing.. Where were when you were shit? And then get on their phones and start screaming 115 all over Twitter, it doesn’t really change that.

I dont watch the BBC and others now in general as the bias from left and right is shocking, try to pick up what I can whilst not being indoctrinated but very difficult.

Up until this week I did visit the BBC website but after this week I honestly feel they are not fit for purpose so I wonder does anyone have a good website link for keeping updated on transfers in the UK and Europe?

Does anybody know how the APT ruling is being reported in other countries

Why is anyone even remotely interested in what John Bishop has to say?
Its John Bishop FFS!
