[Football] Sky coverage.

[AmexRuislip]

Please somebody answer my question before I self combust.

Why is it when GOSBTS is played when the Albion are on Sky, the ignoramus pundits blabber over it.
Yet for the Dippers v Spuds game today, not a sound of any sort when You'll Never Walk Alone is played

 

[Springal]

I think you’ve answered your own question

 

[C1 BHA]

GOSBTS with the words on the big screen vs a packed Anfield bellowing out YNWA………mmmmmmmmm

and that’s coming from someone that despises Liverpool and their fans more than most! Booooooooooooooooo
GSTK.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Correction SBTS

 

[Washie]

Sorry, but SBtS is awful compared to YNWA. Thats with the words on the screens too.

 

[zefarelly]

If they dragged Smith off to the knackers yard and let the match play out in commentary silence it would be a massive improvement.

I can't listen to him. Real ambience is always edited for TV.

 

[C1 BHA]

Said it before, say it again, would gladly pay a fiver more for my Sky Sports, to be able to mute the commentary.
This used to be possible, come back COVID, all is forgiven

Amazon Prime was the absolute best football coverage I’ve ever seen, and they’ve gone and bloody lost the rights for next season.

Sky is unbearable to me at this stage. BBC much better but not a patch on Prime’s coverage.

 

[Rookie]

Every time the Scousers are on the radio or TV the commentary stops so that we can listen to the joys of the signing, why? Pretty sure no other gets this treatment

Is it f*ck.

One is a mawdling random 60s relic used by other clubs, whilst the other is a stirring, evocative WW1 marching song which is uniquely linked to the folk of Sussex who proudly watch their football club.

Not many clubs have an age-old anthem that relates directly to their team. You could cherish it, not slag it off.

If I might interject. May I respectfully suggest you take that shit opinion, stick it up your arse, and f*** off up to scouseland

I meant the way we sing it you pricks.

Oh pray tell how we are doing it WRONG then.

I've been singing it all my Albion supporting life, with and without the words. As have thousands.

Prick.

Listen to the fans at the AMEX vs Anfield and you think our fans are louder singing SBtS?

Oh, so you're just having a decibel competition then. You should've said.

That'll be really interesting.

 

[Oh_aye]

WHAT?? Unless you're a Liverpool fan it's just a recycled dirge that's being deified by mythology.

 

[Screaming J]

They probably arent. But:-
1) The Kop(and other parts of Anfield) are bigger and more echo-y than the Amex
2) Anfield has a much bigger capacity, and
3) irrespective of all that; GOSBTS is OUR song. Even when I hear it on MOTD and I'm 300 miles away (which I usually am) I find it very moving.

Doesn’t your remote have a volume control or mute button?

And I agree with all of these. But a neutral wont care about SBtS on sky, for all the reasons above.

Yeah, as long as all the armchairs are catered for I guess. That's what Sky so rightly focus on.
