The combined Maccabi thread - now with are you going? poll

[Nunkin1965]

I didn't sense any discontent or dark clouds at all. What utter bullshit.

It's the Telegraph

So this sort of one sided tripe shouldn't be a surprise.

Imagine if the Macabbi fans were allowed to come and imagine if there was no real protest and instead a gamed of football broke out and all was good.

Do you not think the media would report it as it was or look for something negative to report - i remember in Italia 90 and Spain 82 how certain people within the British press would fund the hooligans to be on the piss all day and then report how the "scum" would bring shame to the UK when it kicked off - i even read that a S8N reporter was pointing out to local youths where the England fans were drinking - all to get a staged photo.

Reporting a funeral sells more than a wedding (unless its some twat off Love Island etc)

The press are diabolical here - no such thing as news nowadays only opinion.

It seems the press have jumped on something which has been completely manufactured in order to beat the club over the head. It feels like just an extension of the usual PSR/trying to sell our players to the Sky thing but with mu h darker undertones

The club and the city. Absolutely no mention of the national football intelligence units involvement in the decision.
