Let me make one thing abundantly clear. I spend plenty of time and energy debating on here.
That'd be an extremely generous definition of what you do but if you're happy to believe that, knock yourself out.

But when I see a pile of embarrassing, paranoid, deluded forum shite like you posted I will laugh and mock, thanks.
That's your prerogative, I suppose. One tip if I may, though... try not to use more than two adjectives a a time as it dilutes their impact. Also, try not to do so in a sentence that makes you appear to be so condescending. It makes it all just sound like a self-serving rant. Then, I'm sure you already knew that, given all the time you spend "debating".

The guy gave you a clear and unarguable explanation as to why only one goal was shown from that game .
Which, if you'd actually read my post, immediately accepted.

Do you think the team in the Sky editing suite thought "I know: I won't put the best city goal on, I will put a shit one on. That will piss the bastards off". Do you really think that would happen?
.
I have no idea. You see, I don't have imaginary conversations going on in my head. I'll leave that to you.
What is inarguable is that they chose to show a routine penalty instead of five others that were scored from open play. You'll have to ask Sky why they did that. I think it's because of of an anti-City bias. Many others agree with me. You don't, evidently but, apart from the quoted imaginary conversation, you offer absolutely no counter argument; certainly, nothing tangible.

People like you don't come from a position which deserves 'healthy debate'. you come from a position which makes me think you are a young internet fool with zero knowledge of the media .
"People like you" eh? Wow.
Thank you for calling me young. At 46, I don't get that so often. Unless you were being condescending again, of course. It's so difficult to tell with your rapier wit and intricate debating techniques.
During those forty-odd years, I've been commissioned and paid for my contributions to (amongst others) RTE, BBC World Service, The Irish Independent and The Irish Examiner. So perhaps, you'll be gracious enough to concede that I might possibly have a little bit more than zero knowledge of the media.

You might be a lovely bloke in real life. I've never noticed you before so I've no idea. But in my book you're a clown, seeing as we are being honest with each other. A fool. And assertations of "all of us", as though you're some kind of enlightened intelligentsia elite, rather than a bunch of clueless internet fools, makes your delusion levels even more remarkable.
You're wrong again. I'm not a lovely bloke, at all.
You probably haven't noticed me because, guess what? I have better things to do than look for notice on Bluemoon. Unlike you, I don't spend "much time and energy debating" on the internet. I'm far happier writing for people who pay me.
As for the last sentence of your post... Jesus, man, get out and get yourself some fresh air. That's bordering on paranoia, that is.
Finally, you did get one thing right. I am a clown. I must be if I've wasted all this time trying to engage you in sensible discussion.
