Media Thread - 2021/22

[Bald fraud]

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 ?

Our owners aren’t American.
And we’re rather good

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Boo the national anthem
Attack the bus carrying the City team and also other clubs.
Throw a noxious substance at the rags squad entering their ground.
Attack an ambulance carrying a rag player with a broken leg to hospital.

They have no right to start pontificating about anyone's behaviour.

I remember the game at Anfield back in 2013/14, we were impeccable in our minutes silence for Hillsborough, the reward after the game was City coaches and mini-buses with windows smashed in. They really have no right to hold a moral high ground.

Correct, and I'm sure people can relate to a number of other indiscretions, including Heysel and booing the minutes silence for George Best in our own ground. I've total sympathy for those affected by Hillsborough but why do they need to hold silences before two different games during the same week.

That’s some spin.

Exhibit B, M’lud…

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?

Failed miserably and was taken over by the New York Times (ironic given its founders’ stated aim of putting the newspapers out of business) and is hawking round its subscriptions at knockdown rates.
Now more than ever an American ownership PR tool

I think you lost count at two.

Add to that
Booing a player being taken off on a stretcher to have stitches in his face
Displaying banners across the M62 mentioning a German city and a year between 1957 & 1959
Attacking the Madrid bus in the next round after they attacked the city bus
Issuing death threats to a keeper who made a mistake in a final

But just wait till they go top on Tuesday. Media frenzy

 

[BlueMoonday]

Liverpool are made of Teflon. Shit stain of Europe yet glorified by the nonce BBC press.
