Have they been hammered for it?

Received this reply from the City Press Officer.

Dear Mark,

Thank you for your email.


We have already been in touch with Sky Sports News regarding this broadcast. Sky have now removed this clip from their whole estate, and have sent written reminders to all presenters of the need to challenge unsubstantiated claims, such as the ones made here, in the future.

Best,

MCFC Press Office

So Sky have removed it!
The damage has already been done.
No apologies?

When Sky put out “Manchester United are rubbish” by error, Sky couldn’t shove their tongue up the Rags arses quick enough and apologise live on air and repeated it all night!

Part of me feels our club are cowards

Fingers crossed.

Let’s read what Johnny Boy Barnes thinks of his beloved Liverpool (you know, the very same Liverpool fans who used to throw bananas at black players), if they are bought by the Saudis, Qataris, or another Arab country.

I read Barnes' tweets there are a slight on the hypocrisy of presenters and pundits, not necessarily him having a pop at our owners, which is something I don't recall him having done before. He's just not particularly bright and the premise of his argument is wrong, certainly as far as we're concerned.

TLDR: weak argument against virtue signalling BBC, not City.

So Barnes beloved dippers are off to Dubai to endorse a despotic regime. I wonder what the media will make of this John.

That’s how I see Barnes view. He’s unaware of the shit thrown at City & Toon & has used that to defend Qatar.

No that was a story from Ulrika’s cleaner when he was banging her

He was banging the cleaner as well? And wasnt happy about his swordsmanship being acknowledged?

It was Ulrika’s domestic who sold the entire story to Murdoch, including the ‘brown brogues outside the bedroom’ line.
It gave her ‘fuck off home and retire in the Phillipines’ money and means now all celebs make staff sign NDAs
Not a chance he was ever so unprofessional at City, he was an absolute gent and much loved by all staff at the club
I think some Billy Bullshits have been conflating two very different stories from two different times. And if people choose to believe them then more fool them

I would want copies of the warning letters before I believe a word of anything Sky has to say. For all we know the letters go something like this:

To: scousestickyvicky@sky.com
From: legal@sky.com

Dear Vicky
Nice one. Looks like you triggered the Manc massives.
We've had City on the phone complaining about that interview you did with the Juve supporter. They say they're not happy with her quotes about them or your proxy verbal endorsement of the statements she made.
Best leave that alone for a couple of weeks until we can go back in. We've told their legal team we've given you a written bollocking. Lol :)
PS don't wear your LFC pjamas to the Xmas fancy dress this year, you look nothing like Jurgen Klopp.
Up the redmen.

Thanks
Sky Legal Department.

Cunts!

Not far wrong. “Message to all staff: Be a bit smarter next time, their PR department has finally woken up and stopped making videos of that annoying ginger kid”

From way back to my 6th form days it was explained to us that the difference between libel and slander technically is not that libel is written and slander is spoken although it most often is. The difference is that libel is a permanent record and slander is a non-permanent record. So, for example, a recorded TV interview is a permanent record so an unsubstantiated slur is libel whereas if someone wrote in the snow an unsubstantiated slur such as "X is a thief and a murderer" the snow would eventually melt, the slur would disappear and it would be slander.

I'm sure our learned friend @gordondaviesmoustache will be able to either confirm this or call me out as a know nowt buffoon.

Seems to make sense. Libel lawyers are weird cunts. Very well paid weird cunts.

My baby-mother was niece to a man called David Wraith. Successful businessman. Owned Scunthorpe United. Made his money out of portacabins. Tragic story overall. Made a claim for slander against his (then ex)wife in the early 90s when she had accused him of shagging a brass in the Dam. Brass in the Dam! Would you credit it?! Think that was about the fourth slander case to get to the High Court in the 20th century. Think he won, but lost. Or maybe the other way round. Either way, the only party that won were the bloodsucking lawyers. Fucking lowlife cunts. Shame the profession.

My advice to anyone: don’t bother with a slander claim. It’s a truly wank cause of action.
