I can accept every single legacy newspaper, online media outlet and social media hack jumping on us, I really can. As much as we love city, people are always going to be there to try and shoot down success, it's the British way. Add on to that the historic red shirt mafia power in the media and it's easy to see why we are facing many boots from many directions.
What I cannot tolerate however is for the supposedly unbiased, state backed British Broadcasting Corporation (who we have no real choice but to pay licence fees to if you live in the UK) to be ring leading much of the agenda against us. From sound bites created by MOTD ex red player pundits, to the regular city bashing articles on their site, to allowing opposing fans to break supposed house rules in their posts against us, to their social media accounts that really go to town taking the blatant piss out of us.
As city fans, if we complain about this behaviour, one of two things happen. One, if it's directed to the BBC, our complaints are disregarded and any anti city tripe remains in place on their media channels. Two, if we complain to other fans, we are seen as either being paranoid or spoilt.
Whatever or whoever is driving their agenda has cracked it, we can't do anything other than bend over and take it up the Tex Ritter.
Some will say, just don't read it, but that's like saying 'if someone is stabbing you just don't look'. Just because you don't see it, doesnt mean the damage being caused isn't substantial.
What is happening at the moment in the media, particularly from the BBC is an utter disgrace and is causing substantial damage to our club.
