Our lawyers are watching and listening?

The mere threat of legal action would do the trick, the station is owned by UTV Radio stations, they are a largish company but Radio is not a very profitable buisiness.

I remember when that guy Terry someone or other, was really laying into City on a daily basis, soon stopped it!

Alistair Campbell anyone? Shame he's a Claret...

Funnily enough I suggested that to a couple of mates last season. I think he'd do a great job backing our corner in the media, he's footie mad and would probably really enjoy it.... it has to be less stressful than politics and he's a bright bloke. Don't think it would ever happen but I wouldn't object of it did.

Mick Doyle wouldn't have lasted long in today's game. Its not a tickling contest, De Jongs just a hard tackler, a rare breed these days.

Any City fan will know theres an honesty to De Jongs game, he's not out to hurt other professional player.

As for the comments made by Quinn & Co, just get used to it, it comes with success.

I noticed that none of them mentioned the conditions! It had been pissing down for hours and there were questions in the pub where I was, as to whether the game would go ahead. There was always a possibility of one or two mistimed tackles on that surface and that's why none of the Newcastle players protested.<br /><br />-- Tue Oct 05, 2010 6:12 pm --<br /><br />I noticed that none of them mentioned the conditions!

really fantastic view that.

I posted this before the season started, and this incident just reaffirms my belief, however much negative spin the media/f.a/pfa want to put on the incident it will only in the long run benefit Nigel De Jong. Roy Keane won 99% of any battle he had on the pitch before he even stepped on a football pitch, the psychology on the opposing player was he's an animal, i'm not getting in any 50/50 challenges with him or here comes keane and a mistake is made by rushing a decision, when you have that kind of aura in a player you have the foundation of winning any battle, ferguson knew it and massaged it, we should do the same...........

UNLEASH THE BEAST.

I have been reading the different topics on here since the city win against the chavs. Now this de jong situation has arrived and I think its a suitable time to comment on it (hope you accept a gooner). Its ludicrous the way everyone is treating De jong, he has done nothing wrong except for winning the ball is that an offence, no!

Theres no consistency with these leg breakers, shawcross petty 3 match ban with an england call up the next day, Taylor petty 3 match ban. De Jong wins the ball no studs showing and all this media frenzy surrounding him. You can get all the lawyers etc you want, the media influences decisions and they do have it in for city. But they have increased their hatred (might be a bit too strong a word) towards city since the introduction of Sheikh Mansour and his cash. They would hate for city to get into the top four or to win the league. De jong is being used as a scapegoat to pull city down a level. It's a bit like bullying until you stand up they will carry on trampling all over you. Similarly, what Barcelona did surrounding the cesc saga, they trampled all over us until we said hes not for sale and then they kept schtum!

Phew! I was beginning to think the WHOLE world was against us! Thanks Gooner, it's good to know that someone outside a fair amount of Citizens has some level-headed, fair opinions towards our club!

Unless Quinn and Dumham are actually psychic, then they have NO way of knowing De Jong's intent. And to keep publically repeating they are certain he intended to hurt the lad has got to be defamation of character at very least?

Similarly, the tool Dumham keeps slating Brian Kidd's statement saying that in his opinion De Jong isn't nasty and is an honest player as 'misplaced support'....when surely, he is just giving the opinion he has formed working with the guy and getting to know his character......but they are openly crucifying him when they don't know him at all.....ffs.

Oh, and prior to that, Quinn openly admitted to doing some 'x-rated tackles' during a Portsmouth game, and said they had three players sent off they went in so hard. To which Dumham laughed.......hypocritical pair of twunts.

Legal action would never work in this case. However, I see no reason why City can't put a statement out denouncing the public slaughtering of de Jong.
