TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I’ve long since said I far sooner watch televised matches with crowd noise only and no commentary whatsoever. Commentators and summarisers just talk constant bollocks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should at least get it on someone who is more likely to lose the plot. Would be mildly interested in hearing a fully raging Martindale or Robinson trying to hide it mid flow or hearing the batshit thoughts of Derek Adams. Dont be giving it to the sensible ones. There would be a lot of 'aw fur fucksakes' all game, amongst his angry shouting at our players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky should really be using the BT sport approach from a couple of seasons ago. When watching back the highlights from games at Ibrox during our Europa League final run, the coverage, particularly at goals, was excellent. They seemed to focus more on the fan experience and had these unique zip-line type camera angles that really showed the stadium bouncing. I’d rather watch that during the Edinburgh derby rather than some pishy interview or touchline view. This video is peak sports broadcasting, in my opinion (there is obvious bias at play I appreciate).

The last Edinburgh Derby was a brilliant game of football. And the one before that was great viewing with a full scale riot* *pushing, shoving, swearing and cap flipping.

VincentGuerin Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Can't believe Montgomery has signed up for this. Firstly, I'd hate to be mic'd up in my work. Easy for wee bits of it to be taken out of context later or misunderstood by people unfamiliar with the job. I don't see what he can possibly gain from it. If they lose, anything silly he's said in the heat of the moment will be amplified and used against him. It wouldn't be me. Also, it all sounds fantastically shite. Good luck to those of you who enjoy hearing an hour and a half of some guy shouting at players who are ignoring him, and occasionally swearing at the officials. As for the Hearts pre-match meal?

Its just another desperate attempt to be seen to be doing something "innovative" and "improving the fan experience". Amazon just about blew their load every time the pointed out they had some lines on the scoreboard detailing how many subs each team had left. Would much rather they tried something truly innovative and have co-commentators and pundits who werent amongst the thickest and/or dullest individuals ever produced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It's to appeal to the Tik Tok/Subway Surfer/melted brain generation. A whole football match? Boring. They'll be looking at my phone and scrolling. Put some more stuff on the screen and they'll pay more attention. Although f**k knows what the Hearts dinner thing is supposed to appeal to. Perverts, probably. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a brief period, BT Sport had some sort of VR/augmented reality option where wee flames came out the back of the ball if someone kicked it hard etc. Very odd. ETA heres some of it here....

This looks much worse than when Fox used the glow puck in the NHL, which I didn't think was possible (even if it served some purpose given the size/speed of a hockey puck and picture quality in the 90s) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that this is just society these days and people are glued to their phones but how in the name of god can anyone go to watch their own team and spend the whole game looking at their phone? Just don’t go if that’s what you are going to do. It really does my fucking head in at Rugby Park to see people staring at their phone for most of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a podcast with Derek Rae who said it was even quite a big deal to get them to do it for a Europa league game, it is class though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
