Some cracking derby names.

We need to get this one going and spread across social media.

The Rags and Dippers will f*ing hate it.

The Dublin Derby tops it so far.

A couple more.

The Air Lingus v Ryan Air derby. The Cockney v Paddy derby.

El Plastico still my favourite

The BBC will also have to go back and delete some of Dan Roan's and Simon Stone's tweets and articles then. They still have a false story on their website previewing the Footyleaks trial of Rui Pinto (which they have not bothered covering since) which used the phrase: "The data showed how wealthy Gulf Arab individuals and organisations now exert strong influence over some top European clubs...."

The article in September 2020 mentioned City prominently high up but the court documents show that none of the 90 charges against Pinto reference Manchester City.

In fact the Footyleaks case has no reference at all to so-called "Gulf Arabs" and even if it did what relevance would any person's ethnicity have. The reference to Arabs appears to be a fabrication.

I made a formal complaint to the BBC 12 months ago following their complaints process and also contacted Tim Davie the new BBC Director General(who has pledged to clean up bias). They did not respond (Davie did acknowledge my email) and it was later escalated to Ofcom who passed it back to the BBC for a response. And they have still not responded (apparently because their complaints team has been overwhelmed during Covid).

The story is still on their website today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54016147

Meanwhile the trial of Pinto has been ignored by the UK media, presumably because there have been no negative references to Manchester City or Arabs!

Good work Bobby. Hope you get some reply

Well they are typically wankers so that makes sense.
