Media Thread 2020/21

What's a to****?

Tomato?

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

What did the no mark say?

He was pushing Pep for the names of the players recently found to have covid.
Pep told him that he couldn’t give the names because the Premier League had instructed that the names must not be given.
The nobend then started pushing for the names as if Pep had lied about the PL instruction.
Pep managed it very well - he didn’t say it directly but he let everyone know that he thought the nobend was a nobend.

I think this should be in the other media thread maybe?

Come on @pauls don't keep us waiting another 9 years... ;)

BBC: Toffees could briefly move second with a win. Briefly! They have already awarded the Rags the three point from their game!

BBC: Man United would go level with leaders Liverpool with a win. No mention of briefly, so it must be permanent! Fucking RDAHMeedya. When did MANUretv relocate to Salford Quays?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

whey hey a new thread to moan about the press, we needed another

There's a lot to moan about within the barrel scraping of the RDAHMeedya.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Heard it all now, just heard McPointytwat saying a player “needs to be a bit tougher”. He was a bigger fucking weed than Steve Kinsey

There has never been a time when the sports media (print and broadcast) has been more out of touch with its audience. It's bizarre that they have ended up in a position where they seem to be going out of their way to troll their own paying customers.
The content of Ian Darke's twitter feed actually undermines his own position as a supposedly impartial commentator. The same is true of Dan Roan at the BBC. Every political tweet he sends out reduces his credibility.
They have alienated a huge chunk of their customer base. It's commercial suicide for someone like BT to .do this. The BBC has a different remit but surely fools like Roan are aware they are putting their own careers at risk. The political vultures are circling the BBC.

Yes. I was going to say in my post that the way the media go on in such a pro rags and Liverpool manner that they alienate a great deal of the neutrals. In the last couple of days Bingham Delaney and Darke have all had a go at us fans. They would do well to look up how Gerald Rattler fared after remarks about his company's customers' tastes.

Banning anyone will bring the most damaging headlines tbh. "English club run by foreign regime bans free speach in UK" sort of bollocks.

I'd prefer hiring a social media team to spam the Internet with false stories about our rivals (and us tbh). Obfuscation is the way of today.

Well in my 61st year on the planet I had never used, read or heard the word obfuscation never mind knowing what it means.
I was going to take the piss ,but decided to check it out. What a good word Tubster ;-)

City should hire whoever does Paddy Power's advertising for our PR.

****?

 

[bluekeith]

we know you wont sue.
we know you dont mind the damage to our brand .

do us a favour , at least ban them from our ground .

I am surprised that they seem to sit on there hands with some internet and media comments, especially when you can see how rattled Rabin has some of the journalists. And quite a few city fans are doing research and taking them apart.
At the end of the day over the last few years our owners have done most things right so maybe we should trust them and they have a plan

Yep - this is a prime example of what i've been banging on about with Social Media – it's subtle until you spot it, but it's simple psychology... positive spin on everything the rags or Liverpool do... even negative stories are given a positive spin if possible - if not, they're buried as quick as possible.

I see your point of view - but you have to understand what they're gaining out of this, opposed to what they lose.
Basically, due to their success at the advent of the Premier League, which was seen globally, the Rags have a huge following overseas... pure plastics, but they are the sort of followers who will scour social media for any scrap of news of their beloved United.
Darke and Roan are not stupid, they are playing to the crowd - directed to do so by their editors - they post things that will garner the most clicks - the more clicks a post or article gets, the more money for the journalist... As such, anything that appeals to the afore mentioned plastic rags will get far more traffic than a positive article about us. Conversely, a negative article about us will also peak the interest of the same plastics as well as angering us and triggering our response... it's what they actually want.

 

[Metalartin]

They've been at it every day, trying to whip up a storm in a teacup, for 4 days straight. I wonder if there is anyone left now, that doesn't believe there is an anti-City agenda from a our stealing-a-living UK media?

Are the BBC in cahoots with the PiGMOL?

It's almost like they KNOW the results before they happen.
