Indiana, you've just brought back a memory of Andy Morrison captaining us at Colchester in one of those dreadful Friday night games.

Sweeping to our left he took out the ball, the centre forward and one or two advertising hoardings as well, then trotted back into position

[Sparklehorse]

I thought I’d pop over to Sky to read all about City’s World Club Championship game. Not a single mention surprise surprise

Whilst they wouldn't usually push us, our game is on TNT and although it is earlier, SLY have the Carabao Cup to push. Fuck em the bitter cunts

But you can watch fucking Gobber and Ratboy play fucking darts. Unless they were throwing them at each other, who in the right mind would watch that

A fucking disgrace how there at 2pm was not a single word about the game

No suprise though from SLY. Consistent, I will give them that

Nothing new in this. They have a long reputation of ignoring any sport or sporting event that they do not have rights to cover.
They have been doing it for years, probably since day one.
Sky Sports News my arse.

Yep, it’s always the same, sometimes I swear that we don’t actually exist in the media’s world except when things are going wrong.

When the Chavs were in this a couple of years ago it was on terrestial tv, today we don't even get a mention in the BBC Football main page until the last half hour. Blisters

Erling gets BBC international sports person of the year.

[blues2win]

And Pep wins BBC coach of the Year and City win BBC team of the year.

' their pathetic rag blister reporting our game tonight will be ecstatic
By Steve Sutcliffe BBC Sport
“ Guardiola had Alvarez, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and the out-of-favour Kalvin Phillips in reserve, while Nunes, a £53m summer arrival from Wolves, cost City more than it took to assemble the entire Urawa squad.”

Loads of stuff in the media about the fabled atmosphere at clanfield, after klipperty had a moan about it.
It's like the king with no clothes, and now it's been pointed out they're all agreeing it's mediocre.

Another long perpetuated myth

They are no different on most match days to any other club

Sly who?

Unless the stream i get is theirs for a live game (99% of time it is either usa live or south african) i stopped watching Sly and SSN best part of 10 yrs back, not even for transfer deadline day shit.

Beeb world news gave us a mention with hint of us being favourites to win.

And regards to the game they are promoting, if the murderers got a home 0-0 with the shite that is the rags, they're no way beating tartettas twats, especially after klipperty dissing the home crowd.

Buried a long way down. In the first paragraph it’s reported Rodri limped off with a knee issue. He actually resumed playing after the knock. Sloppy, as usual, reporting from SKY

[patrickblue]

BBC are furiously wanking over the rags this morning.

Headline is

"Man Utd 3-2 Aston Villa: Rasmus Hojlund's first Red Devils goal marks start of new era"

Simon raggy Stone of course!

[ayrshireblue]

Sky are even more full of shit than usual this morning. "The pivotal point came when City were controversially awarded a penalty." Amazon tried hard last night to get someone to say it shouldn't have been a penalty but couldn't because, rightly or wrongly, the laws of the game say a penalty must be awarded for the handball. In yesterdays Edinburgh derby Hibs were awarded a similar penalty and nobody made any issue of it, in fact the commentators phrase was "Is that a handball? Yes it was!"
Even the non-award of a penalty for Liverpool against Arsenal has been dragged out as an excuse not to give us the penalty - "Why is that a penalty if the Odegaard one wasn't". That was a wrong decision and should have been a penalty but should not influence other incidents.

That’s not a recent rule change - that’s always been classed as a penalty. Defender diving in with his arm in the air and it stops the shot from going towards goal. I’m not sure why they’re wheeling this nonsense out.

It allows them to write and say in punditry that it then changed the gane in OUR favour. It has ALWAYS been a penalty in those circumstances but don't let the truth get in the way of your continual attempts to downplay our achievements cunts

I know it's not a recent change. Was actually funny last night watching Owen and Clattenburg have to admit that under the laws of the game the penalty had to be awarded. One thing I don't get is why a 6ft 4in player thinks sliding in to block a shot that's in the air makes him more likely to block the shot, logically if he stood up strong and took the shot to the body or face then we wouldn't be having this discussion as even if the ball had struck his arm with it being in a natural upright position no penalty would have been awarded.

You think back to last season where the Rags got that dodgy penalty in the final where the ball might have grazed Jack’s finger tips. THAT is a proper dodgy one - not last nights!

Absolutely

Actually pointed this out to a rag last night after he was banging on about the penalty. Of course he hadn't seen it, just read about on Sky and the BBC and being a fan of a red shirt, just took it as gospel

This is why the red media do it. They know the great unwashed will lap it up and pass it on as gospel

[Harry Dowd scored]

This off Oliver (the cunt) Holt :

The accused beat the convicted at Goodison Park on Wednesday night when a team facing 115 Premier League charges beat a side that was deducted 10 points last month with a crucial goal that brought forth another deluge of fury and consternation about the handball rule. In the circumstances, it felt like it was a fitting way for the game to be decided.

What an absolute embarrassment to journalism.
