Quote: AS108 "Says the one who’s written three paragraphs fuming over The Sun being banned from Anfield for magic weekend.'"


Maybe he'd feel differently if a couple of his daughters had gone to a game and never ever come home again.

If that happened I’d have much more important things on my mind than what a newspaper said and whether or not a RL journalist could attend Anfield.

Quote: fun time frankie "Who on here has ever bought the sun for there RL coverage I’d say nobody is go as far to say not one RL fan has done so so it matters very little'"

I think the sun is the worst paper in the world and that is nothing to do with their RFL coverage for a cheap paper the star has good coverage every day their is something about rugby league in it

No I get that point, but people are letting their feelings about The Sun and Hillsborough get in the way of the issue at hand here.

It’s irrelevant what paper it is or the reason they’re banned from Anfield. It could be The Guardian, The Independent, The Daily Star....whoever and for whatever reason. Liverpool should’ve made it absolutely 100% crystal clear before the deal to go to Anfield was agreed that under NO circumstances whatsoever will a The Sun journalist be allowed to attend Magic. If SL then agrees to that and still opts for Anfield then fine, but to late in day after The Sun and Carter were given assurances they’d be allowed to attend say they’re not welcome is an absolutely pee take out of us as a sport and showing us no respect to be upfront with us from the start. Maybe it would’ve effected the decision to go to Anfield or stay at Newcastle, who knows, but SL should’ve been given that information.

1. I don't trust The Sun to tell the truth
2. The assurances probably came form the RFL and SL, not Liverpool

It's a childish response from The Sun and typically hypocritical.

They are no loss to rugby league. Getting more coverage on Sky and BBC is much more important.

Quote: ThePrinter "If they don’t want to allow Sun journalists into Anfield that’s fine....but like I said don’t go out looking to attract and bring other sports to Anfield (which they’re trying to do since the stadium upgrade) and tell them late in the day they can’t have certain part s of the media there. Either put that part of the deal out there right from the START before agreeing or don’t have it at all.

People can get on their moral high horses now but I don’t recall seeing RL fans protesting or petitioning AT ALL in the last 30 years either towards their own club or the RFL asking them to ban The Sun journalists from RL grounds or events. Don’t recall anybody complaining that Sun journalists were allowed into St James Park in previous years. Where was you support for Liverpool then or any of the previous 30 years before they wanted to host RL? So it’s not a subject RL fans truly feel strongly about at all, just in trend at the moment like so many moral high horse views are.

Just because some on here have a higher opinion of themselves and think of themselves as better than the people who do read The Sun isn’t a valid or good reason to not have it cover RL regardless of whether it’s limited. We should be trying to increase how much EVERY paper covers RL, not going backwards.'"


Are you for real ?
Are you seriously suggesting that because Liverpool FC have a major and valid gripe with just one of the UK's tabloid "papers", that, they should be precluded from staging any RL events.
In fact, to demonstrate just how little The Sun is bothered about our sport, it may be worth noting that despite this ban having been in operation since shortly after the Hilsborough disaster, only now has it affected or been noted by this excuse for a newspaper.

As I stated previously, I'm happy to do without their (The Sun's) contribution if this means keeping just a small amount of moral backbone.

By siding with their employee, YOU are condoning The Sun's behaviour at the time, which quite frankly is abhorrent. Seriously, you need to think about what matters.

I'll happily stand shoulder to shoulder with Liverpool FC and the people affected by the LIES peddled by The Sun, which contributed and prolonged the suffering of those involved. Their headlines at the time not only blamed the Liverpool fans for causing the events at Hilsborough but, branded them thieves and pick pockets and yet, YOU are worried about upsetting one of their journalists d040.gif

The other poster beat me to it but I was about to mention Rupert Murdoch and how he controls both The Sun and Sky (or at least did). Never seen people boycott Sky over it, in fact RL fans have been begging Sky for more money and coverage overs the years/decades. So cut out the moral high horse standing shoulder to shoulder with them, and I’m the abhorrent one because it’s all hypocritical BS. Murdoch is just as responsible for those lies as it was one of his puppets that wrote it. Absolutely zero “moral backbone” just jumping on a bandwagon.

And no I’m not condoning their behaviour AT THAT TIME, I’m looking at the here and now and a journalist who is freelance, was probably still in short trousers at the time and just hoping to be there to report on RL. Maybe we should still judge Germans based on what some of their ancestors did before them icon_wink.gif
