the red rules Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well there's only one for me. I know I am not I alone in being irritated at commentators referring to Man City as just City when there are another eight in our top two leagues alone. It will inevitably increase with their global coverage, but I hoped it would be restricted to national coverage. Today I woke up around 6.45am to our Radio Bristol sports man Dan saying City had a big injury boost, but it was because Aguero was likely to be fit. If they cant say Man at least they should have the decency to use a mock manc accent and say 'Citteh'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krxs97 Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well if it's a Premier League game between Manchester City and Liverpool for example, when the commentator refers to a team as 'City', one would presume they're on about Manchester City.

Major, I'm convinced that if we signed him for our inaugural Premier League campaign he would contribute at least as much as Bobby Reid has at Cardiff. At the age of 44 we could probably get him a bit cheaper as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just bought the black polo shirt in the sale, and it has BCFC as a logo. Fine for me, but to a stranger it could be Birmingham, Bradford, Brechin, or even Bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, I heard that this morning and was a little confused, probably last night’s beer slightly influencing my thoughts. I did think show some respect, as there is only one City in Bristol!

I'm a bit of a hypocrite as the United bit doesn't bother me. But it's more the radio Bristol using it. I think Twentyman is encouraging the mancs to ring in for sound of the city.
