Markman Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 ok - so there may or may not be merit in the pre-match announcer - some (like me) would prefer it to be a little more subtle and others think it is fine.BUT NOT WHEN WE SCORE A GOAL - GIVE THE CROWD TEN SECONDS PLEASEJust enjoyed watching the goals on the TV and within a millisecond of ball hitting net you just start to hear the crowd and then one lone voice bellows over the tannoy and drowns out the crowd - the same on the radio coverage.A goal is a moment for the crowd to share not to have that moment monopolised - scream the goalscorers name etc if you must but do it just before the re-start not the second it goes in - give the crowd a few seconds to enjoy the moment before they get drowned out?

Speaking as a Yeovil fan, I would die if I heard that at Huish Park. The guy is so embarrassing its cringeworthy. Its just copying the "Gol / Goal / Golazo" cries of other commentators....Before anyone has a go at me, we play music straight after a goal and thats almost as bad. When we won the Conference in 2002, the DVD has so many "Glad All Over"'s on it, it drives you mad.Bloke with a big ego, methinks. The Rovers have it better than you, just about the only thing they do though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider11 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 When i went to darlo two weeks ago, when they scored either the guy in the media place wasnt expecting it, or they do it deliberatly but waited for a bit to here whatever the song was they play when scored. But as only about 3000 home fans and up in the away end, not much crowd noise when they scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityBS15 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 They also bellow out that awful "Amarillo" song as well which is so out of date now, and to me sounds completley unprofessional and embarrasingIt would be good to have some music after a goal but can't they put some thought into it. Anyone got any ideas to put foward for this like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Just let the crowd celebrate.The only anouncement should be the name of the Goalscorer....and maybe the timing of the goal.That's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrasing.Can't believe it's taken this long for the Forum to cotton on. The Bloke is a ####! I think SL must have nabbed him from a weekend at Butlins. Proper Red Coat. Remember the Old Boy? He was brilliant. Would have a little chat before the match and at half-time. He was a proper fan too, he announced the goal-scorers way after the goal because he would be going Bananas himself. If he's not pushing up daisies, bring him back. What was his name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'd cheerfully do away with the announcer and the music when we score, it kills the atmosphere entirely and it's cheesy american plastic crap. I don't mind a decent anthem played when the teams run out but that will do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Keith Valle? I know he was at the Gas for a while.....I think he caused a problem or two, maybe someone here remembers what he did.I found this about the man....and I quote.....They have a deranged MC there by the name of Keith Valle, who comes out before the game and at half-time to whip up the "gasheads" as Rovers fans are known. Well, at some point in the game, Flitcroft came on as substitute. Mr Valle announced the change of personnel... "And coming on for Manchester City, is Gary Flit, er Gary Flit, Gary FLIPFLOP" - wild cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just complaining amongst ourselves wont fix the nausea, so lets get to the source.......who?Not sure, although I recall Scott Davidson bringing in the Yank-style "Entertainment". Remember the alleged coke-head HTV presenter? Sam something? The fans went crazy when she came on at Half-time and she was soon booted-out. Felt a bit sorry for her if I'm honest, but it does prove that the fans have the power. It does amaze me how out of touch and amateurish some of these decisions are.

Guest MaloneFM Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Sam Mason was not a cokehead. She was, and is, an alky. And she wore a tag as well. All checkable facts before we get all worried about the lawyers. And the quote about Junior Bent was something like 'number 8 Junior Bent lets hope he isn't' which got him the sack. And then reinstated.As for what should be played. The Automatic. Monster. What's that coming over the hill is it Showumni...is it Showumni?But thats a bit too obvious.

City Rocker Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Keith Valle was last heard of a couple of years ago when the Evil Post reported he'd been arrested for alleged cocaine dealing! I never heard the outcome of that one though.Meanwhile 'bubbly' Sam can sometimes be spotted in a certain Clifton establishment getting, er, 'bubbly'....As for the 'Come on you reds' thing at the start, I agree that's just embarrassing and there's no need for it. But I can honestly say I've rarely noticed the playing of music or the announcer after a goal, as I'm always shouting too darn loud myself. Maybe it was me you heard shouting "SHOWWWWWUUUUMMMMNNNNIIIIIII" on Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 If the goal announcer is the same bloke as the chap who does the half time / pre-match announcements, competitions, i can assure he is one the most die-hard city fans you'll ever meet!!!! The whole goal announcement thing may need to be looked at, fair point!!But he is one of the most nicest people i've ever had the privilege of meeting and after working tirelessly in local schools as one of the best teachers ever (he helped me at a rough time in my life), he then shunned offers to move up the teaching scale (deputy head, head etc) to work with Bristol City in helping under priviledged kids in South Bristol get on with their education.Any talk of him being a ####, is unbelieveable as none of you have even met him.If anyone wants to contest that point, then i shall be in the Try Again from 12 onwards and would gladly discuss it with you.

I suspect everyone on here is a die hard City Fan - the point about the goal annoucements is fair game - if it were my Mother doing this (and she is nice, and kind and helps people) I would still say the bellowing of "Goal" was ridiculous and needs to be stopped - why so punchy? That aside - I don't think you will find the half time guy is the same one - the half time guy is several decibels quieter and so your concern may be misplaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
