ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


Sickening the lengths the BBC will go to in order to praise them:

Real's travel arrangements leave questions​

Real Madrid may have beaten Liverpool 1-0 at the Bernabeu last night to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but there was a different result in which the Spanish side faired much worse.
Real Madrid 410 Liverpool 149.
Instead of goals, it is potential seats on the aircraft each team used to travel to the away leg. Liverpool used a Boeing 737 and Real Madrid an Airbus A359.
The size of the plane corresponds directly to the amount of fuel burned and, therefore, the CO2e generated (the combination of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change). The emissions generated per passenger on a flight from Madrid to London are around 143kgs, double for the return trip.
BBC Sport asked Real Madrid about the decision to take such a large plane and how many of those seats were empty but have as yet received no response.
Andrew Simms of campaign group Rapid Transition Alliance told BBC Sport: “If Real Madrid did have all these empty seats it would confirm people’s fears that some elite football clubs and players live in a different world, and are flying above everyone else’s concerns about protecting a liveable climate.“
Iberia Airlines the club travel partner was also contacted by the BBC and offered no information about the number of passengers on the airline but they did point to the efficiency of their modern engines and build.

Where to start with that waffle!

The Airbus 350-900 is decades newer than the 737. While the engines will have been brought up to date on the Boing, the aircraft as a whole will not be as efficient. In the event that Real Madrid own the plane, that would mean it will have been configured to suit the amount of players and staff that RM would expect transport. More efficient and comfortable.

Don't start me on the Greenhouse gasses waffle too!

Laughable! No mention of the thick acrid stench of BS that pollutes the air over anfield every other week. Give me a break!

What a vintage example of RS whataboutery....and ticking all their usual boxes. Economical with the truth regarding the comprehensive 6-2 defeat... forensic detail attempting to turn a comparative nothing into a something....the epitome of straw clutching. Nice of them to directly quote the world famous Rapid Transition Alliance...then again, they do have their own home grown expert in full back Alexander-Arnold who was given another comprehensive lesson in Rapid Transition when frequently by passed by the fleet footed R Madrid Vinicius.

If all their staff hadn't been furloughed they could have taken more

Heroes of Paris
Heroes of Climate Change

That's ok, just as long as they keep doing the nondruple every season.

Madrid probably played Liverpool’s nursery rhyme on the tannoy just so the hordes of Mordor didn’t trash the city after receiving yet another paddling from them. ‘Look dey’re showing us respeykt cos we’re European royalty la’. It was the biggest pat on the head I’ve ever seen in European football and their fans lapped it up.
