Media thread 2022/23

So did I. I’d say 50/50 is extremely generous - I hardly knew any blues

Depends. Trad chorlton was very Irish and so lots of reds. Busby, Best etc lived there
Estates like Merseybank and Nell Lane/Arrowfield were more blue

Every time he doesn’t score it merits a fucking column in a newspaper. Stinks to see English media putting out this kind of thing, including our alleged correspondent Mr Ducker.

its hilarious.

the guy ends the article saying 2 times real have failed to win the first leg and have progressed to final have been against city..... He fails to mention both those times the second leg was at the Real Madrid stadium.

the stat is everytime real have failed to win their home tie they have been eliminated.

Always preferred Inter, especially with the Bobby Manc link
would also prefer Inter in the final, AC have a touch of the rags and dippers with their istreee

And Dzeko obviously...

I like some of the fan youtube content. A lot of it is better than the shit we get from BT Sport and SKY. I enjoy seeing stuff from the fans' experience. The mainstream media coverage is predictable, boring, and old-fashioned. It hasn't changed for 50 years. I also think many supporters have a better knowledge of football than the so-called experts.
Football is about a lot more than what happens on the pitch and even what happens on the pitch is never fully seen by TV coverage because TV always has a focus purely on the ball. You miss a lot of Erling's darting runs off the ball for example. Nothing beats the live experience as seen from the crowd.

Football on tv is becoming unwatchable to me with their stupid arty close ups of players in the penalty area and replays of incidents with no relevance, even though the ball is still in play. They continually miss incidents and its only a matter of time before they miss a goal, you'd think the commentary and camera work would be superior to forty years ago, but it's actually deteriorated.

We don’t claim to know more about your job or industry than you do.
So kindly do the many on here who work in this industry the same courtesy
Some of us have worked in it, lived in it and seen first hand with our own eyes what goes on
As far as Ive seen your only connection with the media has been vainglorious self promotion, whether pushing yourself forward as ‘the Yonner voice of the Hacienda’ in that shit documentary or sucking up to Balague like a starstruck schoolgirl in Porto
Stay in your lane
