Independent? The Skewed Reporting on our National Game

The football page of The Independent on-line today (and any day) would be laughable if it was not so skewed.

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football?CMP=ILC-refresh

Its coverage is red tops galore save for an old knocking piece on Kun on a non-incident; a skewed headline about City's win at Sheff U; and Everton (no mention of City in the headline) playing in the Women`s Final today.

it was an Important win yesterday, an overall good team performance with very good individual performances, and a sense of beginning to find more rhythm was evident, but will this help stem the off field media hysteria and the orchestrated undermining campaigns for a week before we play the humorous ones from the end of the M62?

Its happened before, it happened again, and it will happen in the future if Salah`s theatrics are not punished. Whilst it happens to some extent with other players in some teams, Salah and Mane have perfected an art form of exaggerated falling and flailing. Contact can be made in the box. The `winning` of many penalties and free kicks by Salah and Mane is a stain on the game. Souness spoke out. The rest of the media mainly brushed it under the carpet yet again.

Independence in the media`s football reporting has largely disappeared. The Independent ? Could it be a more misleading title?

Expect nothing less from a joke online only 'newspaper' that has the bitter, snide, unhinged and agenda driven Miguel Delooney as its chief football writer.
 
Trial by numerous slow motion replay of Steph Houghton in the Women's FA Cup Final. Luckily the commentators aren't playing ball. BBC execs will be upset...
 
Anyone notice comments about our CB when we come up against for example Burnley or Sheffield basically implying they are 12 year old 4 ft girls who will get broken in half by opposing CF

I am not saying they are especially hard but but they are not weak either it seems to be that pundits think we have the same defense as last year plus I think they think that because our CB are foreign policy they are weak and also they do not really know anything about Dias but we have completely different defense to last year

Both Laporte and Dias are good with there head perhaps more in attack but still seems harsh
 
Richard Keyes implying Dzeko was complaining to the owners about the management team....When De Jong was talking about what a quality guy he is...
