Media bias towards certain clubs

I would love to be a taxi driver ferrying them back to the Airport or Lime street via the mersey tunnel and over the Runcorn bridge, make a bomb.

Bit OTT that,I can’t stand them like but each to their own

Ha ha I meant in monetary terms....

No Fernandez penalty, which is a shocker, he seems to get one every game.

Or tells the ref to give one mate.

If we had a better team, we’d get more coverage. The end.

Sorry, no, not the end. Even when Man City were winning everything they never got the attention that the RS get. I recall some BBC headlines where City and others won and the RS were not playing but stories about them were shoehorned in.

How disappointing

 

[Ged G]

City never got as much coverage as two teams in red.

Correct.

City got more coverage than they used to get though..

Of course they did, they were winning everything, but the point is that the RS still got loads of coverage and were inferior to Citeh

Be interesting if we got good again…i meaning trophies. If we’d get the media creeping round us again as we were ‘relevant’. Surely we got positive coverage in the 80s in our peak?

I am not holding my breath.
Yes, good coverage in the 1980s but it was a different ball game then. It was proper football coverage.

 

[Ged G]

The media only speak of pre-1992 football if it makes the "big 6" look good.

When Man City finally equalled our number of league titles a couple of years ago, nothing was said.

correct

Nor Sky, nor the Prem, nor US and Arab owners with huge clout etc.

A vague memory was the build up in the papers to the 85 cup final seemed to be more about Utd than us, particularly the likes of Bryan Robson “Captain Marvel “
