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?
They should offer the Russian owner a peerage.
