Media Thread - 2021/22

All the media on the handball and absolutely nothing on this, he was not even carded, ref even gave the advantage to Dippers laughably but England on Var who is their pet and did not bring this awful tackle to the refs attention and who is suspiciously involved in the majority of their/own games in the last 6 weeks.

Absolutely. It's as if whenever City get the odd decision It's used as a smokescreen to hide what is really going on. All this hype about them doing a clean sweep. They have had similar decisions to the one in the final in previous rounds of the Caraboa and the F.A Cup and the games against City, Villa and Crystal Palace in the league. Without the decisions swinging games in their favour they could have been out of the reckoning already.

FFS, this is getting more and more silly by the day.

Right! I want you to contain your laugther, if you can?

Dan is a very clever Man. See below.

My main teaching and research interests are in the finance, economics, and governance of professional team sports. My PhD focused on measuring financial and sporting performance in English professional football. I regularly present at major international sport business conferences and have a number of peer-reviewed publications in the sport business field that focus on various aspects of sport finance. I also contribute to numerous media pieces discussing the finances of football with local, national, and international media outlets including corporations such as the BBC and Sky News.

Finance guru: Newcastle 'worried' about being lumped in with Man City as two statements issued​

Newcastle United are “worried” they are being lumped in with Man City when it comes to suspicions about financial misconduct.

So says finance expert Doctor Dan Plumley, speaking exclusively to Football Insider about recent statements from Newcastle’s top executives.

Newcastle United 'worried' amid Dan Plumley's Man City comparison

Football Insider has been told by Dan Plumley that Newcastle United are worried about being tarred with the same brush as Man City.

'State owned city got off uefa charges because they were time barred.' ? Thought they were all rejected. "Doctor' Dan seems a bit of a liar.

Even Lawro's on the case now

"Manchester City got away with one on Saturday at Goodison Park. I just don't understand how VAR could have taken a look at Rodri's handball and not awarded a penalty to Everton."

It was very close but once the ref doesn't give it, VAR are going to have difficulty over-ruling it because of the handball rules. And anyway there's an offside in the build-up that VAR would have probably found.

VAR is equally bad for everyone.

That is what I have been wondering. I thought it wasn't handball by the defender if it was accidental? Plus it hit the "t-shirt" area. It seems commentators are always outraged whenever City get a decision, yet not a word watching the favouritism clearly shown to the " history twins".

Weird to talk up a quadruple, when amongst other reasons, they're not even top of the league. Their delusion truly knows no bounds.

This is classic Raggery. They used to talk of the 'double' before they'd even got their hands on the first 'un! And, of course, the RDAHNeedya stoke it up and inflate it! I will have a ready supply of AA batteries for the remote so when Klippity, Hendo, or another scarlet clad Dipperistic cheerleader appears it's ZAP!

Seems you are correct. Elliot being written to. Timings, sp, being reminded ded of responsibilities. Sky showing Keita incident on non stop loop and slaagging var for ruining the game

I didn't see anything on twitter. I have seen more recently something on here about the spitting incident and the player being " reminded of his responsibilities" what is that about? Almost as though the media couldn't ignore it but chose to spin it instead. What are the F.A going to do? What about bringing the game in to disrepute? What is Timings and sp? I'm not being funny, just wondering? As for VAR ruining the game, it could be a good thing if it was applied correctly and fairly.

Not sure if already posted but this from a supposed City fan is disgraceful

Suspect it is to do with the UAE abstention in the UN vote the other day - which frankly, was disgraceful.

What does that have to do with the club?

It's a cheap shot from JPB, using a person's suffering as a way of getting a few likes and retweets. Oh and notice how he turned the replies off. Shithouse

We have "pretty strong links" to UAE, not sure if you're aware.

Our owners position in the UAE government will mean he had a significant role in the decision to abstain from a vote. The vote was on whether to condemn Russia and ask them to stop attacking Ukraine. They abstained from that. That is disgraceful.

Tell me what intelligent response you would have gone back with and it will give me an example of why he turned his replies from tribal idiots.

This country gives millions in foreign aid to India every year. A country that also abstained and can afford to involve itself in its own space programme, but you don't hear many objecting to that lunacy.

Usmanaov had all his assets frozen.

Everton's "letter" and now "apology" is a good distraction from any talk their russian "owner" is fucked.

In fairness, you don't know what role Sheikh Mansour himself had in it. Or whether it would have ultimately made a difference, if he was against the decision those above him made(multiple higher ranked royal family members in more important/prominent government roles).

Lets just stick to showing our disapproval of the decision itself and influence things that way, rather than pointing fingers without any real knowledge.

What’s the difference between the West Ham equaliser two weeks ago and Rodri’s? There was hardly a comment on Dawson’s hand ball goal but we’re still discussing Saturday’s incident three days later, it’s agenda driven

You'll find most owners have "pretty strong links" to their state/government as billionaires tend to

The rest of your post is pure conjecture

West Ham arent a danger to the cult

 

[eyalluvitt]

The very same usual suspects in the press pack who thought City getting knocked out of the CL by a handball goal v Spurs was hilarious and poetic justice now think handball is the biggest injustice since OJ walked.

 

[give it to gordon]

The bbc puzzle me has to how they decide which stories can be commented on and which ones cant.

Everton receive an apology. You cant comment on that story. Why ?

 

[Chris B]

Suspect it is to do with the UAE abstention in the UN vote the other day - which frankly, was disgraceful.

But hardly a decision within the direct influence of the deputy prime minister of Abu Dhabi.

Just out of interest, what do you listen to now?

Football-wise, very little although I try to catch the Monday Night Club on BBC 5Live.
