Banning 'The Sun'?

[Ashley]

I would be interested to know Leicester City stance on potentially banning The Sun newspaper from our Ground and Training Ground. Liverpool, Everton and now Tranmere have followed in doing so.

 

It is a horrible newspaper and they're a bunch of liars. They also lad with the 'Vardy - Jap' story yet print headlines that are deemed racist. 

 

It would be interesting to see the rest of the forums views on this too.

I can't believe people still buy newspapers in today's age.

Can't see the point in banning the Sun outside of Merseyside really..

[Mark_w]

I think we should ban anyone caught reading it.

[Webbo]

If you don't like it don't buy it. what right do you have to decide what others should read?

 

The Mirror broke the Thai orgy Pearson's son story, why aren't we banning that?

[Guest]

Can't be bothered with banning it.

 

Everyone knows by now what you get with the likes of The Sun, and to be fair, most other newspapers have their own bad habits. They just articulate them in different ways.

The Merseyside clubs have a valid local reason for not selling it.  We don't.

Why do they have a reason but we don't? 

 

Surely the treatment of football fans as a whole by that newspaper Is reason enough? 

 

Could have been any club

Think you are misunderstanding...

 

 

 

Its the reporters as more so than the actual newspaper that are banned from attending all press conferences/ media events...

[stripeyfox]

Haven't brought a newspaper in years, or looked at one of their websites. I wouldn't wipe my arse with The Sun. Ban them, and the Mail, Mirror, Express etc but it won't make any difference.

No  what's the point stupid just jumping on a bandwagon zzzzz

But the editor doesn't have to run the story if he deemed but total BS...

[ousefox]

I wouldn't ban any newspaper although I can understand why it's happened in Liverpool. That doesn't mean I don't judge any cretin thick enough to buy that rag or the Mail though.

[stripeyfox]

To be honest, I'm suprised it took a quarter of a century for Liverpool and Everton to ban The Sun from the club(s).

 

[Emmaw676]

As a wife of a scouser we obviosly don't have it in the house. To be honest even without the shite written after hilsborough I wouldn't want  to read it! Absolutely dreadful rag!

An editor would trust the journalist to fact check

[Bayfox]

Dunno. Not brought it for years. Does it still have page 3? Is page 3 any good any more. I'm assuming jakki degg has aged a bit now.

 

Does it print pictures of rachel 

[Kitchandro]

I don't like The Sun anymore than the next person. It's a disgrace.

 

But we're not Scousers. Let's not be petty and embarrassing like them. We've not even got a good reason to take it personally.

Isn't the fact there was video evidence of a lad having a orgy a little different to a story saying scousers were robbing dead bodies a little different?

Thats a new low, even for you.

[Guest MattP]

Of course not.

 

We are a football club, not some fascist banana republic who bans the press because we don't like them.

 

Liverpool and Everton are total hypocrites anyway, happy to take the money from the goals app from The Sun and Murdoch's millions from Sky.

Sky never ran a story blaming them for the deaths and accusing them of robbing dead bodies...

I think they all need to get off the moral high ground. Ban the sun for printing lies, but then sing about munich with such delight. But i suppose they think that's ok because of man u fans singing about hillsborough. Fvckin crazy.
