[Football] It's all a bit shit really....

[Cheshire Cat]

Watching on the telly box or listening on the steam radio to football commentary without a crowd.

No atmosphere, no sense of urgency, no tension, no celebration.

Just an arguably better standard of glorified pub game.

Artificial noise just makes it even less real.

Volume down, bit of Opera on over the picture

Not sure I agree. I quite like the fake crowd noises.

And the arsenal game was hardly a glorified pub game it was bloody brilliant and I'm still buzzing.

Indeed my throat is still sore from Saturday, it was amazing.

Agreed .. I’ve listened to a bit of commentary on the radio with no fake crowd noises and hated it

I’m certain you have your reasons but I’ve noticed you have posted similar on several other threads, I think we get it that you don’t think the football should have restarted [emoji106] For many of us it’s just the tonic though.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Got to agree with the o.p.

No crowd, multi-subbing....it’s all a bit pre season friendly.

But it’s the money, innit?

At last, something we can agree on

You mean, Man City v Burnley?

A one-sided neutral game is shite under any circumstances.

That's it. Over the weekend, I was v happy watching us, and any match involving teams below us. The rest? Turned off within 10 minutes.

Watching Das Boot now!

Cheltenham vs Northampton is a belter. Plenty at stake.

 

[jimhigham]

Burnley adding some racism to proceedings to remind us of the old times...

 

[dangull]

Looks like Man City are putting in a shift despite the lack of atmosphere 5-0 at the moment, might have been a similar score with a full crowd. I E maybe the crowd doesn't influence the game as much as some people think.

I nearly always turn off the sound when watching palace games on the TV the song they sing over and over again gets on my nerves. Put some music on instead and continue to hope the opposing team wins.

I certainly wasn’t looking for the opposition to beat them Saturday

Saturday was at bit of an exception. Still feel a bit dirty despite multiple showers.

Our game was the first one I watched. And by watched I mean had on in the background while listening to the radio and glancing up if anything exciting happened (which, to be fair, is how I usually watch our games on TV if it's not at the Amex).

I watched a bit more of the games on sunday, but didn't watch tonight's game.

 

[Driver8]

If I’m honest, watching our game I didn’t really notice the lack of crowd as I was too busy watching the football.

 

[Billy the Fish]

There's been some decent games so far. What's not to like about football on TV every day!
