Media bias
« on: October 20, 2013, 06:20:15 PM »
If there was any doubt about the BBC's bias have a look at their report on the flare incident at today's game.

Absolutely no mention of which set of fans the flare came from - just mention it was thrown by a fan at Villa Park.

Spurs - Media Darlings (and utter scumbags).

BBC news just said it came from the away end.

The match report explicitly mentions it was thrown by a Spurs fan

I believe you, just reflecting that they showed the footage of it being thrown, and said it came from the Spurs end on the news.

I can't work out why taking flares & smoke bombs is suddenly all the rage

5Live didn't mention the end either. Anyway, let me wallow in my bitterness about our treatment at the hands of the press and keep your facts to yourself!!! ;)

I wonder who the FA will punish. It's obviously a Spurs fan acting the dick but Spurs as a club couldn't have stopped him. On the other hand our stewards could be said to have failed to prevent him entering the ground with the flare.

My money's on the FA fining us.

To be honest I dont think it matters. The crowd was made up of about 32,000 home fans, 3,000 away fans, and 2 dickheads involved in a flare incident.
When things like this happen we should all be angry and express our condemnation whether it's from our lot or the opposition.

I just wish our shooting had been as accurate today!

If Kea and Andy had thrown the flare it would have cleared the Trinity!
