You're right. In general I've absolutely passed opinions on people I've never met. I also appreciate that Sam as someone who covers City is 'fair game' on Bluemoon.

However I also think you going out of your way to reply to something I've posted to call him names, knowing that I know him and have said on here before that I consider him a mate, to be a bit sad. I also know you in the real world and if someone went of their way to call you names to me I'd tell them to wind their neck in.

I’ve honestly never noticed you referring to him as a mate. I clearly need to spend more time on here!

Nothing wrong whatsoever with you defending someone you consider a mate. I would doubtless do the same. We can‘t all agree about people and life would be significantly duller if we did. My principal point remains, however: at a time of crisis for the club, he conspicuously failed to report on us in a way that was fair or informed, and for me, that is unforgivable, as well as being completely unprofessional; he is well rewarded for reporting on Manchester City and should respect that fact when disseminating on such an important subject. The fact the subject matter was in relation to something I (and you) care about so deeply, inevitably accentuates any negative feeling on my part. Stands to reason.

As to defending me personally, whilst much appreciated, having, as you say, met me in real life, you’ll be well aware I’m more than capable of defending myself :-)

Just read the article and see nothing wrong, or factually wrong with his piece... compare his article to the shit we've had printed against us, and then consider the reaction by his editors to his article and ours - then tell me there's no preferential treatment or bias at work in the press... it's no wonder the term 'gutter press' exists!

The author got a 'substantial' pay off in the end.

Let me know if they get into any difficulties!

More & more 'journalists' are saying that City fans can't take a bad word against their club and are paranoid - this may be true in some cases - but please tell me why the press won't criticise Liverpool at all and when the odd one does have a go he is immediately reprimanded or replaced.

Great point
