Advertised on Google with the word HITTING, then when you open the article it changes to a rough grab then further down just a grab.

Reading some translated Spanish tweets it sounds like he grabbed her and dragged her out of the way of a fight (involving his brother) and she ended up on the ground.

Well, I’ll be amongst the first to give the benefit of the doubt to the club, especially given the shit we get , so let me just put that one to bed straight away, and rags etc, I tended to dismiss straight away for obvious reasons, but when it’s genuine , level headed staunch blues (independent of each other) who know how it works, and say the club were very cold and hard compared to others, you tend to listen, and for a good while it was a common theme.
Other clubs do it too, I know one personally who was with the dippers from 8 and dropped unceremoniously, now with Blackpool.
Feel free to disagree.

I'd say it's more of an honour being there, upto the family and individual to make it. See non stop parents acting like they've got the next Kev

Football disorder in England and Wales reaches eight-year high - Home Office

Arrests and reported incidents of disorder at football matches in England and Wales last season were at their highest level for eight years.

Ha ha. That really weakens the whole article. To paraphrase: In one incident, someone got headbutted unconscious. In a second incident, someone was taunted..

But, to be fair, common taunting is a serious offence:

Common Taunting offences cover both intentional and reckless (sometimes construed as 'accidental') actions. This means that you can be charged with Common Taunting both if you meant to hurt someone's feelings (or cause them to think they were going to have their feelings hurt) and if you didn't mean to.

Perhaps - but you must remember that 50odd thousand of our fans don’t know these “level headed staunch blues” so hence it’s hard to take it all as gospel

No that’s fair enough mate and I don’t have an issue with that, people will go with their experiences, as I have with mine, which is that between around 93 up to around 2012, we didn’t have a great reputation, I hope though over the last 10 years, we’ve addressed that somewhat, I’ll always try and back the club, but not blindly when It’s been made known to me where we could have done better.

Don’t get me wrong mate, I know exactly the type you’re talking about, I’ve witnessed these little ‘cliques’ and their snide little ways to make better players look bad or try and marginalise them from games etc to give them an edge first hand, but when people who did make it with the club, and some of them Blues, are saying the same thing, you have to start listening don’t you ?

This may not be the thread for it, but genuinely interested in your views and trying to understand the issues here.

There are three criticisms as far as I can see: that education isn't good enough; that cancellations happen without warning or preparation; and that there is insufficient follow up after cancellation. Is that about it?

Any views on those three issues particularly and how City compares to other academies? We are pretty well-run now. I would be surprised if we are less than very professional with the academies.

Not clicking 9on it. What's the outline of the story

It's the iNews site so you know it's going to be click bait regardless, it's even worse than the likes of the Mail for that. I have to admit that I did have a look and it's apparently "parents" with no indication of numbers, but having read it, it could be just two sets who's girls were let go. “Manchester City took nine years of [my daughter’s] life, she did everything they asked, and when it came down to it she was cast aside,”

They use it to shoehorn in Jeremy Winsten and Zoe Tynan who both took their own lives. Zoe Tynan played for the 1st team for a season although only played 1 game for whatever reason and then went to Fylde Ladies team where she played just twice. They don't bother going into more detail but I highly suspect it had nothing to do with moving to Fylde from City.

Thats not assault. The guy even apologises to the keeper afterwards. Why are people seemingly easy to accept our hate media pov, ffs that is nowhere near as bad as the guy who was punched spark out yet here we are still talking about a "disgusting assualt"

You must be watching a different video to me. The guy in grey (20 secs on the Video) who purposely makes contact with Olsen in the back of the head quite clearly does not apologise.

As far as i am concerned we are the best.
Over the last years I have had close dealings with certain parts of the club, at all levels including board members.
I have found them all to be completely professional, attention to detail is meticulous.
In any large institution there are individual mistakes, I don't feel we make many.
The club of today should not be compared to that of the past.

Jack shouldn't have bit about Souness' bait comments on Talksport.

Mentioning that toxic station at a press conference gives them the attention and the publicity they desperately crave.

Agree! but Souness was saying things about his character personality saying he would of loved to play against him as in kicking him leaving his foot in and that’s what he is getting now every game!

It tickles me when I see journalist and newspapers begging for donations and subscriptions at the end of articles, like we've no bloody memories. I'm talking political 'journalists' too. They suddenly develop amnesia when even the morons they target won't help.
'A free press is part of a functioning democracy' - well that worked out well!

When I log on to the Grauniad (I know) I get a full begging page telling me how many free articles I have read in the last year.
So, they slag off City non stop with lies and ask me to pay for them. Fat Chance.
