… about media bias - as it’s usually eye of the beholder stuff but the BBC report of the West Brom game is a joke. Written almost exclusively about WBA with barbs about larger CBS crowds for Chelsea, Wasps and Bruce Springsteen; a very peculiar gripe about Rudoni “getting away with a foul” in the lead up to Kitchin’s header and this about Sakamoto-Styles…


“ It then got even worse for Albion when Styles was perhaps a bit harshly sent off for second yellow card for his challenge on Sakamoto as the pair tried to outmuscle each other on the touchline and the Japanese winger went to ground.”

I read that too and remember Styles had Saka in a bear hug.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Fuck the BBC, fuck the BBC, fuck the BBC!

 

[shmmeee]

It’s clearly the west brom report copied and pasted.

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s blatantly been written by a West Brom supporter.

Seriously hamper lol

Styles clearly deserved a 2nd yellow for that wrestle. Clear as day. The Sky commentators said it right off. 100% a yellow card.

What was he whining about

 

[TomRad85]

Fuck the BBC, full of absolute cunts and I say that as someone who used to work there which is only one notch less embarrassing than admitting to being a nonce and two less than admitting to being a Championship referee.

 

[TomRad85]

Crying that he didn't get a decent move to the Sky Blues unlike the rest of the Barnsley Boys.

Haha fucking hell, you’re on fire this weekend

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I mean considering we’re now Frank Lampards Coventry City, I don’t think we’re one to talk about media bias. Sky love us.

you only have to look at that graphic a few weeks back showing the top 6 of the championship… the three managers at the top were Parker, Farke… and Frank Lampard. Didn’t Down well in Sheffield

 

[Mcbean]

Fortunately BBC CWR is pretty good

Probably didn't want a manager who kicks off on the pitch with opposing players and who has a head like a potato

The part of the report referring to the 2nd yellow as "harsh" is ridiculous. Style broke up an attacking play and hauled Sakamoto to the ground after Sakamoto had out-skilled him again. It should always get a yellow for breaking up attacking play, nothing harsh about it. Styles is an idiot, didn't need to do it and did it straight after we had got our 2nd. I imagine Mowbray was fuming with him as it cost them any chance of a comeback

Personally I thought his rugger tackle on Saka was very good. Would be better if those that target him were always as obvious.

 

[commissioner_gordon]

Terrible reporting. I've made a complaint on the basis that the report is ridiculously biased.

It's so mean spirited of them to mention the Bruce Springsteen concert!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Styles left the ref no choice but to be given a second yellow card. As clear and obvious card offence as you will see. No mitigation at all. Only half hearted complaints from styles and other wba players; they knew it was a card and reacted accordingly

 

[skyblue_55]

Sometimes it’s hard to swallow , but the ridiculous nature of little Coventry City outplaying Big time Charlie’s like West Brom , can’t go down well with the purists.
After all , they can’t get 30,000 crowds …….? How long since they were at Wembley. ?
But they MUST be better than us ……. Deluded twats !

aye, Wilder is far too ugly for tv graphics

Where does Bobby Madley fit, as he's a ref who shags his dog? Is that higher or lower?

If we're being honest, he was lucky to get away with a 2nd yellow on a foul on Rudoni. He was walking a tight rope, and how anyone, even with the thickest shade of west brom tinted glasses, can say anything other than it was a second bookable offence is deluded, mentally unwell, or both.

*edit: just watched the extended highlights back and the foul was actually on Saka not Rudoni. I think he got away with it though as he fouled Saka, the ref played on then Simms was fouled and that was given as the free kick. I think had there not been a "play on" option it probably could've been seen a cynical and breaking up play. Again, 2 yellows in 1 half? Not likely unless it was a serious foul.

To be fair on the national BBC News we were mentioned along with Leeds and Sheffield United as the big winners yesterday

Top notch commentary team! Always spot on with their player recognition

Central news last night was a bit embarrassing - was definitely done from a West Brom perspective.

 

[dadgad]

Politically the BBC has been half way up Israel’s arse for years so footy distortion is pretty tame tbf. Certainly a hugely discredited institution atm.

Yet according to some they're a Palestinian/Arab PR group.

So if both sides are complaining of bias, chances are you're probably relatively impartial.

I don’t get the bbc hate
I recognise it suits conspiracy theorists and racists but even so

I suppose you still think that eight years ago the Labour Party was riddled with pro Putin antisemites….the lie that the BBC peddled relentlessly….

It was Styles third cynical challenge he was already lucky to still be on the pitch.

Other outlets peddled that narrative way more than the BBC. And to be honest there were anti-Corbyn elements of the Labour party that wanted to push that narrative as much as anyone. Sometimes Corbyn wasn't media savvy enough to defend against it. Meanwhile Tories with anti-Islamic tendencies just wasn't investigated and so there was nothing to report other than repeat endlessly that the Tories hadn't investigated. That wasn't going to hold the public interest whereas a report stating there was anti-semitism in the Labour party was, especially among right wing sympathisers. Sadly often the public perception is skewed by things like that.

If you want to know my opinions at that time look up what I've said about Laura Kuenssberg. I definitely thought she was putting a Tory slant on her reporting. But that doesn't mean the entire BBC news was biased.

Keunsberg, Maitlis and the entire BBC hierarchy could not countenance a genuine left wing govt and undermined it at every opportunity, but you’re right, every major media platform was complicit in the same witch-hunt including the neolib bastards currently ‘running’ the show.
