Media Thread 2020/21

If a politician had done exactly the same as Rashford he would get hammered for his hypocrisy.
Unfortunately our media makes them and then breaks them in many fields.

Rashford did nothing wrong investing a small percentage of his current income for his future, especially when he will be retired at 35 & unlikely to be able to earn anywhere near what he can now.

If a politician was criticised for doing the same then again that’s the media finding an angle to attack. I’m certain there will be politicians with a pension / investment fund to the tune of 2m.

As I’m sure our Vinny has investments similar to Rashford & that shouldn’t detract from the great work he did on a charitable front, of course he never got the praise that MR did but again that’s the shitty media & not the individual.

If your post had a subject or even a personal pronoun l would know what you are talking about.

For that particular poster to accuse anyone of falling for any form of media spin is completely laughable.

He is an attention seeking troll/WUM who stalks every post on this thread, best to ignore him and hopefully he will go away.

Quite,

Quite right. Soon these chaps will be demanding to vote next

People call The Sun but the Mail is a disgrace, pandering to white, posh women from Bredbury don't you know. The racism they spew out in an oh so clever way is disgraceful.

How is Adolf these days?

Am I missing your whoosh or are you missing mine?
I hope no one thought I was being anything but sarcastic about the racist Mail

Dont forget the role played by United PR.
I am sure Rashford will be grateful for your sympathy when he is counting his 100 million at the age of 35.
And please do not try to compare him with Vincent Kompany.

I think you know what I am talking about. You seem desperate to downplay the achievements of a young man who has invested his time and his money supporting a charity and elevating it to the national consciousness.

This stance has led to you quoting a Daily Mail report, to paint him as a hypocrite because he has also invested money into property ventures.

If you think the media reporting of his role in this is exaggerated, disproportionate to his role that is another argument, but to criticise him based on his property portfolio seems a tad unfair.

I am absolutely certain the Rag spin merchants have turned it to their advantage, Rashford will know this as well, that’s why he’s pushed it knowing it will get full backing.

I had a very fortunate childhood, one of my best mates had a single mum who was an alcoholic & putting food on the table wasn’t a concern. Going to school was all about being fed for him & his sister & as a 50 year old man who has never taken a penny from the state & has 2 successful daughters hes never forgotten those days as it’s clear Rashford hasn’t.

Footballers were unfairly criticised for not doing enough when a fair few do more than most, particularly Raz & Vinny.

Ok we disagree. I have not read the mail article. I read the tweet from MR and it seemed to be like that of a politician or any rich man who had been 'caught out'.
If you wish to discuss this you can always pm me for a civilised exchange of views.

Anyone whose heard Marcus speak knows that he doesn't write his own Tweets. His PR team are on it.
