Paul Chuckle Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Tonight Meridian tonight hit an all time low. We played a top of the table Championship game last night and they show all of 10 seconds if that highlights of the goals. But yet they dedicate a few minutes to 200 Skates protecting in the stadium after game and show a couple of interviews from their manager and Ward. I don't usually rant but what a joke!!!

We need to get to the Premier League and fast, maybe MLT will help to ensure some impartiality if/when we get there.

Big club plays big match again is not news. But yesterday wasn't the day Pompey applied for administration, there wasn't a court hearing or any significant development. The only thing the happen yesterday was the CE saying they will carry on, so it didn't warrent being the lead story and I reckon given the same circumstances NW TV wouldn't have run it that way round.

The Mirror and the Mail are vile papers who are full of lies and lazy journalists who cant be trusted. My God yes, I'd forgotten how deep the media-driven anti-Saints agenda went. Is there no media outlet with a good word to say about our sorry little club? Its no wonder the club takes such an insular approach, with all of the hate thrown at us from so many in the media.

captainchris Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 The 'news' of Portsmouth fans 'protesting' was laughable it didn't actually say what they were protesting about. Errrr was it about going into admin? If so who were they protesting to? Protests are normally about an injustice but this is evidently not that - they have over spent which is not an injustice it's a fact. Or, perhaps they were protesting about the removal of someone but who? Does anyone know who the owner is and if so, isn't he trying to sell and get away anyway? The manager seems ok - so what on earth is the 'sit in' all about? Bizzar........I'm at a loss - can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rational Rich Posted 16 February, 2012 Share Posted 16 February, 2012 Best way to get around that is, to do what I did and move out of the Meridian region altogether. North West Tonight don't even mention the Skates on their bulletins. To be fair, they don't mention Saints either, and you have a 450 mile round trip to home games, but at least the irritation of the Meridian bias is dealt with.
