Media Bias and its effect if any on Overall Outcome.

[Bluestar]

The real place where damage is done is during the live commentary. That steers the rest of the media coverage because the match reports are done from TV.

An example would be Carragher calling out Sigurdsson for pulling out of challenges. That became a full scale national media attack on him. Far out scaling his misdemeanour.

Another example is what they don’t say during commentary. For example, Coleman was wrestled to the ground in what should have been an absolute blatant penalty, but it was missed and the focus has been on was there a foul I. The lead up to our fifth goal. Same story at Utd.

Thd biggest damage gets done when players get singled out for foul play of some description. I think that can genuinely influence referees in the next game as players get a reputation. Andy Johnson got labelled a diver and he spent the rest of his Everton career getting kicked up in the air with no protection.

And mark my words, the referee will even things up in the Derby after the Pickford coverage. We will finish with ten men. guaranteed.

This evening (home to Fulham) is the very reason why the media do not take Everton FC seriously. Until the players stop wilting under expectation this will continue.

 

[lieneverton]

What has the media got to do with our players repeatedly underperforming and gifting points away on a regular basis and not putting in required effort?

We're known as bottlers/underachievers/nearly-men etc, and we've proved it every single time this season we've had a chance to seriously trouble the top 4.

3 Blues in Garth Crooks’ team of the week

But Pickford’s inclusion only with the following caveat.

How much longer is this narrative going to go on for?

Yes,but it is Self Pity FC involved!!

I’d agree but Gareth Crooks is a Spurs fan

I think pretty much all of the media "toe the party line",99% of them appear terrified of saying anything that may upset them!!

Another day that's just as easy Pickford with the knee injury sitting in the stands on derby day, and it would be nothing but unfortunate things happen in football. Just like Son on Gomes. Media bias least of our problems, too many blues would be happy to have Pickford side lined. The media like the sharks they are smelt blood and tore in.

Whilst I agree to a degree, Pickford is the England goalkeeper which is why they care. If he was Brazilian they wouldn't analyse his errors.

He’s Brazilian
He cost that lot 70m
We think that’s kin brilliant

Durham on ts said..”did u see Popes error? If that was Pickford he’d be getting slatted because he the England keeper”

There's people on this board who are exactly that type. They seem convinced that only Pickford makes errors or will pick apart every goal looking for something wrong.

Works both ways though. There are Everton fans who will ignore anything neutral or positive said about Everton as they're so fixed on listening for slights against Everton.

There were some Blues fuming on Twitter about Ally McCoist during the City game. His crime apparently was praising City's performance and seeming to enjoy anything that came close to entertaining football. Even though he sang the praises of several Everton players, Everton staff and the club all they could hear was his praise of City. It was hyper-delusional.

To clear up any doubt of media bias.

"So 61%" is trending on Twitter currently as people correctly point out the absurd spin by Sky on this.

61% thought it was a pen. Sky lead with 39% not thinking it's a pen.

Brilliant. Perfect example of how the media manipulate facts to spin their own narrative. They knew exactly what they were doing splitting to pros into 2 columns. Horrible b*stards

It's not accidental. It's insidious and constant.
