Media Thread - 2021/22

[Father Paul]

because, as far as our owners are concerned, they're just words which have no significant effect on the running of their highly successful business, and as such, do not matter (?)

A rather big question mark at this stage might be time to take the gloves off and go on the attack.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Think maybe we just need to accept responding to the media (severity depending), is not the way our owners do their business.
Pisses me off, but I can see their reasoning, it's almost like the media see it as a feather in their cap (in fact it is in their eyes) if they manage to get the club to respond to some of the shit they put out there, boring cunts who left real journalism a very long time ago.

I should know better than ever watching the sports roundup on Breakfast. Couple of minutes sports bantz with Naga, big haired Charlie and dopey scotswoman on drama of penalty shootouts. Needless to say Naga loves them. Dopey scotswoman says "Manchester City fans must be stressed after last night..."

Praising heroics of West ham, fair enough but also mention at least just how devoid they were of any attacking intent, regularly pulling everyone back behind the ball.

Really is a very poor report on sports. If the sports is reported in such a less than impartial manner, should the rest of their news output be questioned? Judging by their Budget report, I'd say yes.

Sky covered the penalties so I switched over for it. The winning penalty went in and the commentator couldn't disguise his excitement ''City are out... at last!". TV went straight off after that. They don't even disguise their dislike of us.

Biens coverage of the pens was atrocious. Close up of the players face til the last second then cut to them literally striking the ball , filmed from behind the goal

found it difficult to follow

Your fault for watching sky ! Iam shocked people still turn it on with the 100s of other options out there to watch every single minute of every single game.

This
It was awful by the time they switched from the player to the behind the goal angle the ball was being kicked and with my eyes couldn't focus until ball was in the net
I don't know the reasons behind the angle. They did have a camera at the normal penalty angle as they showed it a couple of times but didn't use it once for an actual pen

Have West Ham been awarded VC's? The way the media are going on about the little plucky club getting one over on the Death Star.

For what its worth, Sky took the same feed of pictures/commentary as everyone else. I watched on a South African channel and it was the same with Ian "£50m defender" Darke commentating who comes only second to Tyler for his disappointment when we do well. Of course, the thing commentators will say is they love the narrative story rather than hating a team, so the story that we're out of the cup is a bigger story than West Ham going through.

It’s big news city getting a draw then beat on pens seeing it doesn’t happen in years regarding this competition.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

Not having watched the game last night, it meant I didn’t get to see what the respective cost of the teams was. Can anyone enlighten me, as it’s an important bit of info that adds context to any of our results.

Ya was streaming that couldn't believe the commentator shouted "At last" seemed far too happy we had lost

 

[bluechippie]

Sly sports news this morning saying that 8 time winners littlewoods are still in it, while failing to mention how many times we had won the thing!

I couldn't find a link for the game.

Was only at 85 mins and realized we were on a South African channel and the commentary/tv camera work was superb

 

[HelloCity]

At least we’ve reached the bottom of the barrel. I’m not keen on the merch either tbh but it’s hardly worthy of this sort of commentary.

What amuses me most about this is the City fan thinking that there is some business called "Madchester" who are behind this.

I do think it’s a copyrighted range of merchandise tbf. We’re producing it in partnership with them.

Are you sure about that? I don't think it's possible to copyright the word "Madchester" in the same way you can't own the word Hippy or Grunge or Rave or Punk. If you didn't invent it you can't copyright it. Surely this is just a Puma concept.

Indeed, could have sworn it was Puma who is behind this. And the Madchester scene was more mid - late 80's rather than the 90's from what I remember.
