Media thread 2022/23

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

The media don't hate us at all. They probably love us.

Why? Because the media make money out of us. You think all this bile would be written if there wasn't a market for it?

You are absolutely right that there is a relentless wave of negativity. That is because that is what brings in all those clicks.

If you want to understand how the media works in the digital age, imagine the people viewing the on-line media are in fact voyeurs of porn. We are the most gorgeous pornstar, therefore we get the most clicks. Except people aren't clicking to see pretty cheesy pictures of us smiling and being nice to cats. They want to see us being dirty, and that's what the media gives them.

No money in 'City play gorgeous football.'

Plenty of money in 'City are cheats.'

Anyone else aroused?

Thats the PL over.

Now prepare for a week of rag cock sucking and City smears.

How will I detect that the narrative has changed?

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Lol, 9am? What year was that? I think 11.00/11.30am is the earliest I remember. But yeah, it was always the best time of the year. What with often English teams in finals of the 3 Euro comps, you had for one month every year, glut of live footy on the tv:
Cup winners cup final
Uefa cup final
Fa Cup final
European cup final
Home internationals x3

All in what felt like the space of a month.

Think I can remember back as far as the '94 final and I have that coverage as starting at 9a.m.

The teams eating breakfast and walking the gardens etc..............

Imagine that on Saturday?

9am ... rag season review.
10am ... meet the rags.
11am ... interview with former rag players.
12 ... "At Home With The Rashfords".
1:00pm ... "At Home With The Ten Hags".
1:30pm ... interview with rag fans (just leaving home)
2pm ... mention of City (focus on potential weaknesses).
2:10pm ... interview with rag fans (just arrived)
2:30pm ... rag team news.
2:55pm ... national anthem murdered by posh woman as usual.
3pm ... match
5pm ... total fookin' media black-out with no mention of football for a full week.
10th June ... City complete treble.

'Facking cam on Maan Yoo!!!'

exactly i remember watching cup finals in the 80’s on the tele coverage started 9am felt like showed the teams coaches making their way to wembley allsorts & was an all day affair it seemed, hasn’t been like that for decades sadly, i’ll be there so will only watch back if we win but it’s still a shame how it’s importance has been eroded. anyhow let’s beat those red clowns next week.

I’m an FOC so I remember back in the 70s the BBC used to have a helicopter flying above the teams coaches making their way to Wembley with a full running commentary. I know it’s hard to comprehend but the FA Cup Final at that time was literally the biggest game in the world.

But with a totally trashed reputation that has been dragged through the gutter’s and still is on a daily basis. When it comes to PR and the media we have very little idea of what we are doing.

The world of football is bigger than Nick Harris’s domain and the powers that be at the Etihad I’m sure don’t trawl through Twitter looking for negative stories about us. The general view for the general fan is that we are now up there with the best ever . Young Toby coming back from his paper round and calling us Man Cheaty on. HYS is not representative.

Here’s a few examples of BBC1 start times for Cup Final Grandstand from the early 90s.
If you go back to the 70s/80s the earliest seems to be an 11am start.
I haven’t checked World of Sports ITV coverage start times but I think it was similar.
Tbf, once you get into the 90s maybe you’re recalling build up on Sky Sports News, or on regular news channels, which I’m guessing would have featured build up all day.
Of course even with a 12.15 start I think they would have had filmed reports from earlier in the morning of breakfast, hotel gardens etc.

1992 - started 12.10pm
93 - 12.15pm
94 - 12.15pm
95 - 12.15pm

I wonder if you mentioned Harris to the powers that be at City if you'd just get a blank look?

In fact Pep would probably give you his STANdard reply.


(did you see what I did there :) )

MOTD end of season montage last night with the Manchester Orchestra playing ‘love will tear us apart’ - then right at the end as Gundo lifts the trophy they bring in the sound of the fans singing “city, tearing cockneys apart again” - loved that!

who's got the sack this morning clearly an over sight by junior editor
