They weren't biased, they were just clueless. One of them thought that Doku is French for starters. They were also waffling on about inconsequential things whilst an attack was ongoing.I don't know if this is the right place to put it as do they even count as media or journalists. Anyway, the commentators last night were pathetically biased. The co comm (don't know either of the names) wasn't too bad until we scored goals and then he had a moan about them. The other guy though, absolute twat. His obsession with the first goal being an og, even though the rule clearly is that a shot on target isnt an og.
Come off it mate. You and I know what they meant.So we need to stop saying the Rags and Victims are Yank owned? It's also a massive stretch to say it's accusational and inflammatory IMO, it's a factual inaccuracy at best. Newcastle are state owned, are they breaking some kind of laws/rules?

There is an article (further down though) but then they made a point of saying that that was Cherki's first goal since August. Given he'd only played 94 minutes total in the PL & CL combined this season due to injury that isn't any real surprise is it?Lol...rag central , dont know why I expect anything less...
Liverpool out as Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle progress
Not one headline or article....were not really here indeed
david phillips was co comentator played for both clubs dont know main one but his obsession with goal scorer being OG id guess a dipperI don't know if this is the right place to put it as do they even count as media or journalists.

Yes they described our first as a lucky own goal, the second one was the defender’s fault, and the third was a mis-hit pass from Guardivol. Ha ha so much bitterness.I don't know if this is the right place to put it as do they even count as media or journalists. Anyway, the commentators last night were pathetically biased.

The "we" was us, City fans on this forum and elsewhere-it's said all the time.Come off it mate. You and I know what they meant.
Regarding your comment "we need to stop saying the Rags and Victims are Yank owned?" - who ever says that?! How often do you hear/see the phrase "American owned United".....you don't
They weren't merely stating that Sheik Mansour lives in Abu Dhabi, they were snidely saying that Abu Dhabi owns Manchester City.

sky production team need a pat on back too showing irrelevant things and replays while game clearly going on its like commercial radio can only play limited amount of music it appears they can only show so much live football
"Abu Dhabi-owned City"
These 4 words alone are accusational and inflammatory, legally we are not state owned, the books also say this
I was the OP and I genuinely believe that the words were used in malice. They were written to imply, without directly stating that we are state owned.The "we" was us, City fans on this forum and elsewhere-it's said all the time.
We may or may not know what they are attempting to insinuate but the claim the OP made was that the words were " accusational and inflammatory" and there just not.
You want to see true bias and hatred whilst we’re playing, don’t worry about commentators, just get yourself into the match day thread. Almost makes Stanley SlapaSwede and Shagadog Collymore look like a City positive pundit…I don't know if this is the right place to put it as do they even count as media or journalists.

Double commentators must be one of the worst innovations in TV coverage. Two guy having a conversation and paying little attention to the actual game.They weren't biased, they were just clueless.

Talking of cameras focusing on irrelevance. During the Villa game, the ball went out for a throw in. Cue camera shot of Villa bench to focus on a long haired herbert, who was apparently the Vila set piece coach. Camera returns to the action to show City taking a free kick just to the left of Villa's penalty area. No explanation as to what had happened since the throw in or how we had gained a free kick!Double commentators must be one of the worst innovations in TV coverage. Two guy having a conversation and paying little attention to the actual game.
The attack you mentioned is probably the same one that frustrated me. A City counter attack, several clever passes but not a mention until Bobb had a shot on goal.
You can couple poor commentating with the camera focusing on replays of corners, fouls, managers, crowd reaction and players spitting and not what's happening on the field. Particularly when you can hear the crowd getting excited by something.
