If I occupied the role Stuart did, I'd make a point of reading this forum. After all, we make up a significant proportion of his potential target audience.

You mean all the rags that post on here BP?

 

[We're not really here]

As I started the whole Boatang photo row I'll put my point across. It's not Stuart we should be hammering it's the tosser that is Spencer. As a manager at work it is my responsibility to check if the staff under me are doing their jobs right. If I don't it's me who cops for it. Frankly the photo should not have been there and if it's in the sports section surely it's his job to oversee it. Spencer is the the one who should come on here.

It would certainly help keep his finger on the pulse.

This thread makes me a bit embarrassed to support City, and I don't feel like that very often.

Log off, Stuart, you are wasting your time with this lot.

Did you not think the Boateng image was inappropriate, Dave?

Stuart by his own admission thought it was "silly" and has belatedly replaced it with one of Bert.

To that end, I think the thread has served it's purpose perfectly. I posted earlier that a similar thing happened a few years ago with a negative web story about City, that was eventually removed.

I couldn't have given a flying fuck about the boating picture. Not one tiny little one. Not even one the size of an ant's chuff.

I am allowed to express an opinion about the NHS, and how it operates. But if I start telling a heart surgeon that he is carrying out his work all wrong, I would be shot down for it, and quite rightly.

In answering a minor side issue you may have hit on the wider problem you have here.

You do comment on the team, the players , the staff, the club and how they do their work. That is what you are employed to do by the paper but just because you have been given the opportunity to voice your opinions does not make you qualified to do so. . . . . . dont get upset with me yet . . . . .

There are many on here who have put in the hard yards and have the qualifications, through seeing more City matches than anyone at the paper will ever see, to voice opinions about the club and that is why it is difficult for us to accept any poor quality output from the paper whether it be unqualified staff rehashing rubbish (Pelligrini's Englishmen) and recent events which appear to be poor quality checks putting wrong names with pictures (youth team), cheap shots (tourism) or wind up (Boateng). In total fairness to you these objections are to events that you are surely not responsible for and there are no stand out issues about your actual stories or opinions that have come to a head like these stories.

Shit sticks and in the same way that we hate TV match commentators who voice opinions about our team just because they have the platform (I am talking about the commentators and not former players who are qualified even if they talk bollocks) and we call Sky and MOTD for allowing it and Talk Sport for allowing arseholes to broadcast their unqualified opinions, you, as the leading City expert at the paper are going to get it when your paper makes a poor judgement call.

It doesnt actually matter what you believe went wrong (as in the tourism story), I think the paper should have a handle on anything it prints about two of the biggest businesses in the paper's catchment area; In this scenario you are the heart surgeon and so better qualified in understanding how the paper works and so have a better chance of sorting that out than we do.

Do you ever consider the fact that the majority may have a point and that you may infact be wrong?

A radical concept for you I know but one that at least on the odd occasion you may wish to consider............

For what it's worth, I don't think the MEN shows bias, I just think it's a poor publication....

I accept that folk may disagree with me as it's just my opinion......

Haha, does he fook.

That's not what I asked. I asked whether you thought it was inappropriate.

I'll rephrase it another way. If you worked for a Manchester newspaper and was choosing an image of a German footballer who represented City, would you pick Boateng over Trautmann or Rosler?

DD the voice of the majority. If you feel embarrassed, maybe you should take your own advice and log off.

United gossip: Carrick contract, Sanchez move, Fabregas interest

City gossip: Kolarov to Juventus, Aguero wants Barcelona switch

Manure are signing Fabregas again and Sanchez wants to play for Traffords biggest club. Meanwhile Aguero wants out of City again!

The bottom of a bird cage is this rags only worth!

All these stories appear under what catogory ?? At least read it correctly.Derrrm.

LOL the whole RAG comes under the category gossip. They certainly don't print any newsworthy facts!

Ah the same sort of football gossip that come on our OS.

The Boateng picture has been addressed. Thanks for pointing it out to me

You should have shown a photo of Uwe scoring against the rags, you would have become a cult hero on here!
