PSG Thread Qtr Final CL

[Rowley Birkin QC]

That's because no one can understand a bloody word you say.

(That last sentence being a case in point!)

personal abuse my arse..if i called you a wanker that would be personal abuse... all i have said is you write drivel..what a drama queen!!

"..you need help fella.."

Sorry, I must have misunderstood that. I did not realise that remark was somehow football related. Somehow I thought it was directed at me.

As regards my original big crime, stating the obvious "Why can we not pass and retain possession they are just average PSG." A remark made during the game about a 5 minute spell in the game shortly after half time. I had not expected a football comment on a football forum could cause such offence to an administrator of a football forum "is there any way i dont have to read your drivel?" The latter I am pretty sure is a personal comment and not football related.

Think again Lee.

Lets wrap this up now eh.

[Lekos]

Ban Lee for his own sake. Ban me for a week while you're at it as well.

That is fan dabby dosey

City fans need to troll BT sport's social media en-mass

[gavin]

On the bright side, it is nice to see them squirm when City win. I don't really watch the buildup anyway and switch off directly after defeats. I wouldn't really want the sickly sweet coverage that Liverpool get. We have our problems and we should face them but still be proud that we are the only English team still in the main competition. A lot of the spite is increasingly plain jealousy. I rather enjoy their jealousy.

[Gareth]

Yeah, well, I suppose I shouldn't let it get to me, but it does. Never watch the pre- or post-match analysis, and quite often watch the action with the sound muted. Although that doesn't work so well with the radio, I've found. Didn't there used to be a channel where you could watch matches with just ambient stadium sound? That'd work for me.

[gavin]

They used to have different audio channels on Sky where you could choose just to have the stadium sound. I'd often use it too. Like you, I watch with the sound down when it does start annoying me but just occasionally you do miss something that they mention that is happening off camera like a player warming up or a goal being disallowed.

[Victoria]

it's no different here in the USA, same shit and same comments. What pissed me off was the coverage of CL. For the past 2 years I have watched City on FS1 for CL games while this year they covered Rag Bastard games and put City games on the back bench until the Rags got put out of Europe. The media are a set of Arseholes!

The Sky Sports commentator on the rags v Villa game has just said -

"...but that isn't the Manchester Utd way. They've always played attractive, attacking football. Even when they were relegated they played attractive football."

Seriously - you can't make this stuff up. I'm still laughing!   

[Swiss]

I'm watching the UK commentary on the rag/villa game and they're only talking about how good utd are like Villa don't exist unless they feck up.

That's on option on BBC, on the rare occasion they broadcast a match.

Thanks - noted. Although I think I'll pass on the semi-final next week-end...

But this is also indicative of the road towards invitation-only participation in European competition and a domestic Premier League with no relegation from it nor promotion to it. UEFA will need to protect the assets they have for sale, and the TV companies likewise their advertising income stream, for the circus to continue. You may think City have done enough now to "qualify", but if it happened and there were just one franchise available for Manchester, who do you think would get that? Neo-liberal economic models aren't meritocratic. That's why this kind of casual insidious propaganda needs to be challenged.

Sky used to do similar where they would have fan commentary, none or standard.

Running for the Labour leaders job!?

Running for the Labour leaders job!?

Well, she is a waste of space; and she'll probably find that out for herself in a couple of weeks. But no thanks.
