Time to start banning hacks from the Etihad?

[Marvin]

Not in favour of bans either, but who are in your good and bad books?

Good
BBC
Manchester Evening News

Bad
Guardian

Been saying it for years, let them all sit down in the press box then tap them on the shoulder and march them all out of the stadium, Collymore first, Mills second Custis third in the line, fucking humiliate them

 

[chesterbells]

so taggart got loads of bad press at the scum did he? you chat so much bollocks its untrue.

Well clearly he thought so hence the reason he banned them.

Banning journalists would just look small minded, petty and us becoming every thing we use to hate.

Also who would we ban? If fans on this forum had their way there would be no one left to commentate and report on City games. Even the likes of Quinn and Francis ex-city players do not escape the criticism of being part of the Agenda.

For example do we ban the Daily Mail? In the process alienating Martin Samuel who always defends our position on FFP. Or the Mirror and Simon Mullock a blue.

Or the biggest evil of all Sky. Who contribute millions enabling us to buy the great players we do.

Of course today its the turn of Glenn Hoddle. Will the ban extend to when we play QPR?

We cannot alter the perception of the club by banning individuals for expressing opinions about the club. It would be counter-productive. We get positive press and negative press. Its a fact of life for sny organisation in the public domain.

You obviously haven't read Martin Samuel's piece on our match with Bayern.
He too jumped on what was a fucking huge bandwagon.

Bit redundant bringing Samuel into it; he may have been critical vs Bayern - as were plenty of blues - but there's a multitude of times he has stuck his neck out for us and gone against the prevailing anti-city hack opinion.

 

[waspish]

Banning journos achieved nothing apart from more bad press.Keep winning games and trophies. Do our talking on the pitch.

Plenty of posters on here would get banned from the stadium using your criteria because the amount of fans talking us down this week, and much of this season, has been incredible.

The thing with Taggert though it took him around 8 years to be Feared by referees and the media it took him that long to influence them by his "Personalty"

 

[baildon blue]

Only broadcaster I would let in BBC radio Manchester .
The Goat and Cheesemen do a terrific job on reporting on Manchester City .
I love listening to Shaun Goater after the match on my way home .
I even like Jack Dearden who supports Bolton .

ol blue eyes will present any bit of "evidence" no matter how tenuious to try and prove his no agenda line, it defines him.

Collymore doesn't need any help in the humiliation stakes.

The best action is not to get wound up. They find it very hard to have a go at the manager because he is always very nice to them. The players like Zab and Vinny are just true ambassadors of the club. Look at how linekar and co love a chat with him after the game. Some have started to fight our corner, none more so than Samuel who has just been voted sports journalist of the year again. He has a go at us sometimes but usually it's deserved when he does.

The latest target is clearly Mangala who has been nowhere near as shit as the press are making out and in a year or so they will be eating humble pie. To score him 1/10 which I assume is riling everyone so much is just so stupid it makes the author look like a complete and utter dick. This was a team who were second in the table and had one clear chance against a defence with Mangala in it! Surely only an idiot wouldn't be able to work out that the score is therefore ludicrous.

The best thing we can do is keep winning, shut them up and add a few more trophies to the cabinet!

Don't ban them. Let them watch us power on and on. They're like the jealous ex-boyfriend who suffered from premature ejaculation or impotence watching helpless through the window as their former girlfriend gets fucked senseless by her new boyfriend.

 

[whipper]

Please stop calling them journalists,that is something they most defiantly are not.

No journalism in anything they write.
