Media Thread - 2021/22

Read Jeremy Cross in the Star and he has done a proper hatchet job on us , really disgusting match report and dig at our club and supporters , but dont worry he will be welcomed with open arms , fed & watered for the Brighton game. Personally i wouldnt let the **** in the car park , agreed we didnt play well , but his attack on our club in general only makes him look like a bitter little man , i wont supply any link he will have enough clicks from Dippers & Rags.

He can attack us as much as he likes, I wasn't aware the Star was still being published and I doubt that many still read it.

Haven’t seen one mention in the media about Liverpool beating depleted city. Which would have been all we would be hearing this this morning had it been the other way around. Also if we were clinging on at the end like they were but still won it would have been spun as some moral victory for them

I see the echo has picked up the Jack Grealish story where he claims they would have beaten Liverpool if they could have got that last gasp equaliser, he's right as well, even if it is ifs and buts. Liverpool were far better in the first half, but the media claiming a magnificent dipper display after coming close to conceding an equaliser after going into a three goal lead is beyond laughable.

Two semi religious ceremonies yesterday, one after the other.
The first was a pre planned singing of that song from Carousel - every single note, every single flag and banner shown with the TV and match officials taking their servile and reverential part in it.
Then there was the Hillsborough silence. I always respect such silences if they occur and l expect every one else to do it. But how long do are Liverpools opponents going to have to take part? Is it going to take place for ever and a day like United's Munich Commemoration seems to? United as a club never bothered for many years even removing the floral tributes left by fans as 'rubbish' within minutes. I know of crowd disasters happening at Bolton, Celtic and Bradford but these never seem to be mentioned generally. Perhaps clubs have more private events. Did Liverpool have anything at home during the week which might have been a more appropriate place to do it. I don't recall the taking the knee yesterday. Did they do it?
The media and others have criticised Blues for booing yesterday. Fair enough. But all the booing that Sterling gets every time we play Liverpool and some other clubs continues after 7 years and commentators never mention it or just don't hear it.
Funny old world innit.

Over 10 years of the club treating journalists very well and still they write shit and make digs.

Wish the club would realise that no amount of treating them well will get them to be fair with us.

It'll never happen but we should stick the fuckers in the SS and let them sit and eat & drink the stuff we have to do.

take comfort that in 10 years barely any of these people will have a job as print media dies.

does anyone know how The Athletic has done generally since it was started?

Today, the BBC sports website home page is swamped with Liverpool stories (as above) and the chance to see their goals - again.
Will the winner of today's semi-final will not get the same overkill, on tomorrow's homepage ?
If you scroll down far enough, you will eventually see a mention of our Women's team's victory, yesterday. An absolute disgrace for the Women's game and MCFC women who are playing superb football.
What have City done to upset the BBC ?

Zero mentions of finances in the media yesterday because Liverpool won, wonder if they will compare Liverpools bench versus the cost as the Villarreal team?

I get what you're saying and, mostly, I agree.
They was a small a tribute paid in the last round v Forest and again in the semi final yesterday. Nobody would be surprised if there's a third event planned also buuut... it's worth adding no matter what anyone's opinion on the over-playing and the manipulation/commecialisation of certain football tragedies, those are arguments for another day.
Quite simply, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by disrupting a minute's silence.
Those who did so yesterday let all of us down.
