BTRFTG Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Maybe I missed this (would have had my money on NTTDS pointing it out,) but the lad's just updated me when I asked why suddenly there's voluminous clapping and noise when the game we're watching is temporarily suspended for an injury? Transpires this year they're playing mock crowd noise to obscure chants such as : "You're F**ing Sh*t...." I'd rather they overlaid with the Vision-On tune....

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Dunno why but it winds me up when their commentators say stuff like “apologies if you’ve been offended by anything you may have just heard” - it’s football, it’s emotive and some chants contain some flowery language and fans are prone to shout things out in frustration because they care so much - for Sky to apologise on behalf of football fans is cringy - as is obscuring chants with pre-recorded crowd noise if that’s true ...

As I know they do it for a lot of Leeds games as they have a number of specifically anti Sky chants as their fans are miffed that they play at 3pm on a Saturday around once every 20 years.

I loved the cup run because it was Bristol City in a cup Quarter final. Bristol City in a cup Semi Final. I'd have been just as happy if the semi final was against Colchester, and we'd have been more likely to reach the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 They have been adding crowd background noise to rugby matches for years ( especially the super rugby from the Southern Hemisphere), sometimes a game is on and the crowd noise bares no reference to what’s happening on the pitch, or off it!

Would argue past 3 full seasons have though become a bit of a chasm between the big 6 and the rest. PPG, goal differentials between 1st-6th in one block, 7th-20th show this to be the case- post Leicester basically. This season too early to say of course. Regardless a feeling persists that the gap has got larger and the 'on their day' claim that bottom can turnover top? Not so much. It's easy to delve into these numbers. Sky certainly could- but it'd potentially weaken the 'product'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also... if you decided on Brighton rather than any of the other teams in the Prem for a reason then I'd be embarrassed for you..? No I chose them at random out of the non top-6 sides. Because the majority of the teams play stifling football in a large number of games (though actually Brighton not the best example to choose here) *because* they are so desperate to stay a part of the money machine that SKY created that attritional football is seen as their best chance of avoiding relegation. Look at the way the lower teams set up when they face the bigger ones. Everyone behind the ball at all times, approaching the game from a "must not lose" standpoint. I thought my point about there being amazing football to see at all levels right down to grassroots was obvious, especially as you then said you watch your daughter in u12s, yet you didn't actually address that point and instead brushed it away with "Go watch the gas then" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
