[Albion] Ronald and the other vloggers.

[Badger Boy]

Well I think Ronald Collante and Luke Linx's videos are brilliant and they enable those of us who couldnt get to the European away games (for example) to see what the area/stadium/atmosphere is like - it may not be for everyone but I'm very grateful that they take the time filming the footage and spend hours of editing later.

It's a yes from me

I have no problem with anyone doing whatever they want, if that's their thing then good for them. It will be documented forever and this is an excellent season for the content. I wish them all luck with their endeavours, they're doing something and using their skills. Good luck to one and all.

It's not really for me either, because I'm clearly old and curmudgeonly. But I don't resent them making content to get the kids excited and I love it for that.

Me neither, it's not for me but they're free to do what they enjoy and good luck to them! Maybe one day I'll enjoy watching their videos.

Completely disagree.

Ronald's videos are great and they're selling the Albion dream round the Latin American world. Maybe the family of the next Estupinian or Caicedo might be watching and have some kind of understanding of Brighton, the city and the fans. He's very good at his craft too. Game finished at 10 last night and he's London based and yet he's edited it and put it out by this morning, including some interesting backing music (the French piece for example). He's managed to get permission to film Marseille and Ajax ultras in the K&Q but got himself in with the Bell lot too. He understands how important crowds are to the football and uses them. He knows he's a one in ten thousand person in there, if everyone else was Vlogging he wouldn't have a product.

Met Luke at an away game this season. He was actually on the row behind us. Chatted to him at half time. Lovely lad, very dedicated to the Albion. He does have an annoying youtuber mannerism at times on the camera but certainly doesn't off it. He knows that, to an extent, that gets views with the younger fans who are his target audience (although my mate in his mid fifties who no longer goes after stints away in Canada and Costa Rica is a Luke subscriber, again to get an idea of the match atmosphere in the Brighton end). At the game we met him at he had an older bloke next to him who I assume is his dad. He watched all of the match and was very, very knowledgable, talking well and pointing things out people near us had missed.

No problem at all with any of these characters and good luck to them all with their projects - they're all investing a huge amount of time, effort and cash to cover the games the way that they do. I'm just a grumpy old man mouthing off into the darkness!

Watchalongs I completely don't understand. Matchday vlogs I quite enjoy as a way of remembering the experience I had at the game.

As far as I can tell we don't have Watchalongs, I have only seen fans of the "Big clubs" (and West Ham for some reason) do it.
I love these watchalongs, not the actual streams themselves, they look like they would be tedious, but only for the compilations of all the denial, anger, bargaining, depression (but as yet no acceptance) at the moments when we score against them.
schadenfreude is a powerful drug!

What a load of busy c*nts. Can't sit there, enjoy the game and be in the moment - they've got to be filming, worrying about their content and getting all the footage cut together and put up online. I find it quite a sad way to spend a live football experience, myself. Vlogging isn't for me.

I'm glad they do it. I live abroad, so I can only get to 1 or 2 games a year (well, 6 this year, but that was a birthday present to myself). Watching the game is great, but getting the atmosphere through the telly is almost impossible, (especially with uninterested dutch commentators).
despite not speaking any Spanish I religiously watch Ronald's vlogs the next day, to get more of a feel of being there. it makes me happy, and to be frank, that's mostly what I care about.

met him and his dad at the Southampton game boxing day last year.
He seemed pleasant, his dad even more so.
Seems like a very bonding experience for them to share.

Big fan of these vlogs, a unique capture of a special night

I bloomin' lurve that Ronald's vlogs are in Spanish. Makes them so much more exotico than if they were in English

Oh the compilations of the ridiculous moments are a joy.

Enjoyed Roland's one. Looks like the OM fans had a great time in the K&Q pre-match. Chap in the foreground with the whistle can f*** off though!

My French is a bit rusty so couldn't pick out all the words but sounds like they were hoping that Stevie Sidwell was going to shag their wives

'Oh-lim-pic Mar-say', in place of 'Oh Stee-viee Sid-well'.

Hopefully they changed the rest of the words, in the second line, or the singer's wife is going to have her work cut out.

I thought the OM fans activated their flares just after Pedro's goal but it appears it was a few second before at 11.10

You've basically just described some of my favourite pubs.

Check out all the OLD FOGIES in this thread who’ve never tiktokd a snapvlog in their lives.

[armchairclubber]

Only Ronald for me. Gets the full flavour in the right places and stands (particularly Palace away legendary!) getting downtown before the games & in the right pubs.
Great that he's stuck with us home & away too. Quite a commitment from London.
Top vlogging to have an inside of Marseille in the K & Q.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I don’t watch many but why would I have a problem with vlogging? It’s the modern way of recording history. Citizen journalism. I’m all in favour. It also needs a fair bit of creativity and tech savvy which I admire them for.

Completely agree. Ronald exception as he is quite cool, but the rest are gimp.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The football hipster is annoying, he travels all around the country watching games etc, silly man bun.

He said were were seriously poor before we scored.

Twat.

Reminds me of that Steggles oaf.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I like pre/post match stuff and general Albion things like these, but cringe at someone filming during the game instead of watching. Is like when everyone watches fireworks through their camera phone/screen.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Ronald's pre-match walks around the cities he is in are great and give a taste of the place that you never get from the likes of Sky Sports.
