Never forget that bastard Rooney getting Vinnie sent off in 2012 cup derby. Can't remember who was tackled but he didn't react, got up ready to carry on playing, Rooney ran crying to the ref, next thing Vinny was red carded for f**k all. Never forgive that Scouse c**t.

Atkinson was ever approachable by a red shirt in that period - I remember the ten added minutes at OT in one game that screwed over the stunner that Bellers got!

Perhaps it's just me but when I read the headline I thought the story was about saying it was a non penalty. In fact he says its 100% penalty and is actually having a pop at the ref !

There is no doubt whatsoever that the headline was deliberately written that way to sucker in paranoid and deluded united and liverpool fans and get them clicking. SEO

Its the norm, any City story usually has an headline that either takes from how good we were or actually makes us look the villain even when clearly not. Clear and obvious
 
Regards the Vinney sending off,in the last few seconds the ref is showing the reason for the red card,a two handed push in the back.It shows what a bent ref he was,Vincent on the floor pushing Nanni in the back,Vincent the contortionist.

From where Kavanagh was standing he probably had the best view in the stadium. Bloody rugby-cum-wrestling move and he plays on! I think they are permanently in "I'm not giving City any fuckin' pen' mode until the VAR wallah blasts down my earhole that Hackett is gonna jump on this 'n Old Mother Riley will be forced to apologise as he did for the David Silva stoner that went begging'! And as a precaution, he gave the second pen straight off and was cross-fingered, todger up arse, in the hope that VAR would scrub it off!

It’s as much led by finance as anything else. They want the biggest fanbases clicking on a story and thus driving up the associated ad revenue - and we all know who they are.
A story about City with a negative slant or headline is almost as good as the usual, nonsensical redshirt propaganda, because they know it will get engagement from the plastic sheep.
Cynical and void of ethics but it’s the reality of modern football ‘journalism’.
It is why the likes of the Independent will be delighted with Delooney’s output, no matter how transparently bitter, hypocritical, biased and insane.
Slagging City is great for business.
I worked in the industry for decades so I know all this is true from first hand personal experience

It amuses, bewilders and annoys me all at the same time when refs go over to players ostensibly to inform them of the LotG. Why? A footballer takes to the field of play either knowing the laws as well as a ref or in blissful ignorance of them. Either way he must face the consequences of infringing them. The ref should not be giving lessons or instructions mid-match as to what is contained within them.

A lot is written about the refs and TV assistants in the Rugby League and Union. But listening to the refs mik'ed up and you can clearly here them advising the players in respect of pitch position or possesion of the ball.

Not put a penny of their own money in for several years now…

View attachment 32791
We have pulled out of many deals in recent years because of excessive fee, salary and agent commission demands

View attachment 32792
Again, not invested a penny of their own money for years.
Our wage bill is around the same as the cult, who not so long ago broke the world record fees for a keeper and a defender in the same transfer window. And are about to make Salah the highest paid player in the league

One of their snide cunts broke a Leicester player’s leg with a shithouse challenge

I thought watching thousands stream out on 38-40 min mark for half time that we’ve got a fuck load of spoilt ungratefuls in our ranks.

This is the best City team ever and you’re missing 7 minutes of the first half to get an early pint?

Thought the atmosphere picked up again when we conceded the 3rd and the team then got a lift but fuck me, we should be bouncing giving the football we’re playing.

Harsh. I was with my brother and nephew. We went out at stroke of ht to the concourse for drinks. Little one is 7. Returned with drinks in hand 5 mins into the 2nd half. If I am on my own, I don't bother with refreshments but with a group you do.

I reckon football fans in general are getting fed up with the clickbait rubbish.

Most football fans who arent dippers or rags can see thought it.
I can chat with fans of any club without a problem normally. And they all hate the dippers and rags. OK I have to tell them about the stuff City for the community etc !

I have spoken to a few rags around here, 3 stick in my mind a 26yr never been to the swamp or any match. One my age but hasnt been since around 2010 and says he has lost interest. One again around my age but when you talk to him it's clear he doesnt know about football or rags 100% plastic. Dippers just try and stare me out lol.

Bookies and odds very skimpy them odds the rags should be minimum 15,000/1..

The odds for the rags winning the Prem alone should be a million to one
If they win every game they have left, which very obviously isn't going to happen, the maximum they can achieve is 91 points
We would have to lose at least four games from our 19, or not win around nine and Liverpool would also have to implode
