Yeah, it’s terrible. Willian will fit right in.

You feel that?
Just sending you a virtual slap.

Terry Antonis sent off and Adam Taggart subbed off in the same minute and then a 41 year old scores an 84th minute winner, the K-League is surprisingly entertaining!

What do you think of the fan chants over the speakers?

mixed in with Simon Hill’s commentary, makes for a entertaining watch

What do you think of the fan chants over the speakers?

It almost worked at times, you almost forgot there were no fans. Overall a weird vibe and to just have them go on as normal instead of gasping/shouting etc when there's a chance. And when the chants went on when Antonis got sent off instead of switching to jeers/sarcastic applause was a little weird.

Still, I think that it was better than a completely silent stadium. Then again I've only seen 90 minutes with the fake crowd noise so I'll reserve my judgements until I've seen/heard more of it.

What did you think of them?

K League reduced to 27 rounds this season.

Not a bad idea. Added some atmosphere. Reckon superimposed crowds with fake chants could be alright for TV viewers.

Thought fake crowd noises was a parody suggestion when I heard it a week or so ago. So ridiculous I didn't bother posting it on here as it was probably made up.

Do you remember the Arsenal “murial” they erected when they were redeveloping Highbury? Classic that was

This came out a few months back. Can't remember if I posted it here.

Interesting, and suspect we might hear a bit more about this before the end of the year.

The article indicates it is mostly run by Qatar which is not a surprise.

Dailymail reporting about a so called fake news campaign. Says all that needs to be said about it really.

Qatar are having a bit of a melt about the Saudis buying Newcastle because Bein feeds were widely televised illegally in Saudi Arabia.


Gotta love when middle east countries bring their politics to the PL, good old sports washing.

I would imagine it does for you.

 

[Magma]

the concept of 'sports washing' has never made much sense to me. like, who thinks better of a country because some people from it own a team? or that country hosts a singular/annual sporting event. always seen it as such a bizarre concept.
