Interpolic Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 We were still manically chasing goals until the last few minutes. Reckon Benitez wanted them to calm the fuck down when he took off a striker but they were enjoying themselves too much and kept cutting them open Honestly never seen owt like it in the flesh, it was a merciless battering from the first minute to the last.

Nobody Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Coverage is disgustingly bad imo, that and the incompetent referees are the only things I don't enjoy about it all. Even in Sweden, every second division game is on TV these days. It's pathetic they aren't even being filmed with more than one camera. How do Swedish teams in the 2nd division manage to get a crowd when the games are on TV? * Don't answer affordable ticket prices. Obviously crowds aren't great, don't know what the average would be mind. Not strange considering the level would be around league 2 at best. You need to be a real fan of the team to bother with it, with how bad the quality is. Don't think championship crowds would suffer much from being televised. Are there really any evidence from around the world with crowds going down because of TV? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 It's very strange that considering the huge amounts of money in the Championship there is not more TV coverage, doesn't make any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Rafa was having a go at Shelvey to take the short corner from Ritchie. Shelvey just points at the box and gestures something. Ritchie whips it in, Clark scores As mentioned in the Rafa thread. They were going mental for goals right until the end. Sending everyone bar Anita and Sels up for a corner, in the 88th minute, when 6 nil up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't belive every game isn't available for streaming. Same problem for premier league, it was on option 3 years ago, but today somehow it isn't. Availability is the clue today.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 A mate of mine went and said it was similar to when we played West Ham years ago and absolutely battered them, was it that kind of domination? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredibly shortsighted as it seems to only think about the people in the general vicinity who attend matches, not the fans all over the country and world who would like to see their football club play. I just hate that Sky is sat there recording every single match and cutting in to show goals live, so technically they are just creeping about with the feed.

Rocker Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The 3pm blackout is one of the very few remaining things about modern professional football that actually considers local fans and smaller clubs tbh. I'm a weird cunt,but I quite like the mystique of just listening to our 3pm kickoffs. Probably just nostalgia from when I was a little and we couldn't watch most games so relied on the wireless and MOTD. Oh and The Pink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Good for you guys. Make it so no locals can view it without attending the game. Easy. Now make it available online for everyone else, given it'd be a monumental piece of piss to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Nah keep the blackout, this last week we've had football every day and tbh it's too much, it's obnoxiously constant and soon it will just be 24/7 and there'll be no sitting down putting radio on or something at 3pm on a saturday and we'll find that in our quest for 24/7 football it's become all bluster and completely soulless.

I'm honestly laughing at people still clinging onto hope of any soul in football anymore, it's gone man. It's been gone for a long time, it's about time you just pushed forward for total clear access to every match via TV or streaming online to give supporters near and far, with money or not , the ability to watch their team play.

It's got very little to do with that anyway. It's to do with protecting the quite extraordinary depth within the English football pyramid. It's to try and prevent, for example, the huge amount of clubs in the Greater Manchester area from haemorrhaging new fans because the kids want to stay at home and watch Man City on the telly, and judging by the amount of people watching third and fourth tier football (and below) in England and Scotland at 3pm on Saturdays, it works extremely well in doing so.

Manically ? I know what you mean but it wasn't manic, it was calm and the natural way of power over something weaker. I only listened to it and caught highlights but it sounded like we kept going, no showboating at 3 up, relentless. To keep concentration like that is what seperates the good teams from the teams with good players. All is pointing up right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
