I did work experience at Sky in 2002, they had me say “Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea” into a microphone and now I’m in a protracted legal battle to get the royalties I’m due for every televised game at Stamford Bridge over the last 20 years.
wait were canned recordings put to use since 2002? I thought it was a covid thing
Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.
I mean seriously, LOL at how shit this is.
Sky Sports will take steps to prevent offensive language from a planned protest by Everton fans being clearly audible during the live TV match against Manchester United on Sunday. To comply with Ofcom’s rules, the broadcaster will even consider using pre-recorded crowd noise if required.
Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.
The broadcast regulator Ofcom’s regulations state that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.
Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue and insiders said it takes its responsibility to protect its viewers seriously and will look to mitigate any offensive language being heard on air. Any action by the broadcaster would be to ensure it is following Ofcom’s regulations rather than to take a position on a protest.
Major L
once again sky prove that they are, indeed, fucking shit
Disgusting.
F word?
The words that are gonna be chanted begin with a C. Corrupt.
Which F word? Hard to guess considering the sub upvotes cocksucker as an acceptable, civilized insult.
Would be easier to show it. By censoring it in the 10th minute, you’re just going to get the crowd to do it again randomly for the rest of the match.
I mean they still might even if Sky don’t censor them but silencing pissed off people rarely works.
You’ll still hear it. Theres always that delay before it kicks in and somehow it makes the chants even more noticeable
“Sky TV, is fucking shit, Sky TV is fucking shit”
Volume mysteriously drops
Generic noise that doesn’t sound like the crowd replaces it
“Sky, TV is fucking shit, Sky TV is fucking, shit”
Sky sports slags
Not in favour of this at all, but it would be kinda funny to listen to a crowd cheering and singing joyful songs all the while watching the actual crowd with angry faces doing the wanker sign
Everton supporters are a loud and passionate bunch. I’m hoping they can overpower their fake crowd shit
I despise top level football.
