Media Thread - 2021/22

If it's a straight report of the inquest and nothing more then the journalist doesn't need to ask for a quote from anybody as there's absolute privilege. Whatever is said in that coroner's court can be reported - even if it's libelous or false.

But I can absolutely guarantee Herbert took great pleasure in being able to run a negative City story without having any need to contact the club or risk of blowback.

If there is any kind of follow up story (which wouldn't be covered by AP) then I'm sure city will be all over it if he steps out of line.

True. Worth pointing out too that it is ard to imagine Herbert was actually covering Coroner's Court.
More likely, a local paper's report was picked up on and rather than let it run verbatim, Herbert went out of his way to get in on it and add his own twist.

Last seen at the taxpayers expense reporting from Tenerife on the volcano.

And tweeting a picture of the eruption, which he described as a 'spectacular backdrop', whilst people's homes burned down.

Not one for wishing geological disaster on anyone but in Johnson's case if he was disintegrated by a pyroclastic flow ....

Thank fuck it's not Mount Teide we're talking about, but Cumbre Vieja on La Palma.
Had me worried for a minute! Agree with your pyroclastic flow comment, though.

If Teide went off then half the planet would be fucked!

For balance - and both the author and the conduit have taken some often well deserved stick on here - but Glenn Hoddle has written an interesting piece on the BBC today comparing the rise of the likes of Phil, Kev and Jack to how playmakers like himself were often treated with suspicion back in the day. He is shilling his new book but an interesting read nonetheless, especially when talking about Grealish
