Media Thread 2020/21

First time I have seen the video of the coach bricking. (I’m a CBL 3 FOC so not always fully with it!)
Anyway that is utterly horrifying and a disgrace to all concerned except the poor plods in the firing line. The failure of the media to press for an enquiry of give any significant airtime to the issue shows the worthlessness of the majority of the MSM these days.
I take comfort in the fact that the ridiculous sycophancy, excuses, and the blinkered assumption that anybody apart from deluded Liverpool supporters is the slightest bit fuckingwell interested only serves to intensify the loathing that all other fans have towards them.

Here it is

This is one of the few times Pep and the board got it wrong. We should have got off the bus and told the UEFA rep that we were shook up and not in a fit state to play the match. It’s always said that games are decided by fine margins - and getting attacked prior to starting work would not be acceptable to any profession. If we had made a stand even the bent fu****** at UEFA would have had to act.
We allowed all concerned to brush it under the carpet.

"It says it all"

Yes it does.

"I hope the world can see this"

The media made sure they didn't.

The media also said fuck all about the absolute joke of a tie we faced.

First leg

1. Liverpool first goal offside
2. Sterling penalty wrongly not given
3. Gabriel Jesus goal wrongly disallowed

Had the officiating been better in the first leg we could've been at 2-2, worst case 3-1 down with an away goal. Instead, we were 3-0 down.

Second leg

1. Leroy Sane goal wrongly disallowed
2. Sterling penalty wrongly not given

Had the officiating been better in the second leg, we could've been 3-3 or 3-2 down at half time.

Had the officiating been better across the first leg and first half of the second leg, we could've been 4-2 up with two away goals.

Instead at half time of the second leg, we were 3-1 down and our manager had been sent off. We had to go for bust and then there goal on the break killed the tie dead, with us needing to score 4 to win it, and having to go for it even more.

Non of this was mentioned by the media, not one article, not one comment.

I dont think you would get that many City fans to behave like that and I dont thInk the GMP would allow that situation to develop near the Etihad. Mike as supporters we are quite different to the red scouse.

You may be right but GMP are not exactly an example of how to react to crime.
Hopefully they would have handled a similar situation better but there are 80k examples of various crimes that they were not even bothered to follow up resulting in the then Chief Constable resigning.

The media were all over this of course....

Can you imagine if Liverpool had done this in the same circumstances?

I think it's less to do with how (or not) the police might respond. You may get a few fans of most clubs carry on in an impromptu, spur of the moment or opportunist manner, but I very must doubt that any other club's supporters would orchestrate a "welcome" such that took place that night. It was planned with every intention of causing damage, why would anyone wish to do that?

Think the videos should be in the liverpool thread for the lurking scum to see

 

[bluealf]

Here it is

It is still hard to believe that none of them got dragged away by the watching 'police force' I mean if you took a few bottles of lager and bricks etc up the town and started randomly chucking them at a bus or cars for that matter, a car would be despatched from the station and you would be lifted within minutes.

Here it is

Should have carried on driving straight back to Manchester

 

[give it to gordon]

Should have carried on driving straight back to Manchester

Should never had played the match and liverpool were only 'fined' 17k still gets me angry that those scumbags got away Scot free. And yet in their minds they think we should all respect and love them. Fuck off !!
I am 60 and have never so much hate towards another football club than I did that night and I hate them more every day.
