Sky last post coverage

Good article Danny04

(but surely, at the risk of sounding, er..... well anyway, thousands of eye-witnesses, surely, not hundreds.)

Hundreds of eye witnesses corroborated it on Twitter and the like. Glad you liked it

Being at the match I hadn't realised this happened, regrettable but technical cock ups occur - More upsetting to me though was that the crowd started applauding after the bugler fell silent a point totally omitted from the report in the Sheffield Telegraph. To me it is hugely regrettable that the recent custom of a minutes applause has clouded the simple dignity of a minutes silence, it may be appropriate to remember a single life passing by applause but it is not and never will be appropriate for a formal remembrance day ceremony. Some serious education required.

‘Totally omitted’ apart from when it was mentioned: ‘Save for a brief period of confusion after the playing of the Reveille’
That’s all it was. People thought it was over, it wasn’t. It happens every year. That wasn’t the issue on Friday night.

I was on the kop - row SS and as usual I couldn't hear the wording of the tannoy announcements clearly. The crowd noise at times is just too loud to be able to hear clearly and of course it's particularly bad at the begining of a half or when the match is exciting. If there was a real emergency and the crowd was noisy then I for one would not be able to hear / understand clearly what's being said - unless the crowd suddenly went quiet which would be unlikely in the cirumstances.

The club ought to do a test by asking each steward (or perhaps steward supervisor) to report what was said in a series of test messages (at appropriate noisy times) and then report back and thus find the how effective the tannoy really is. Do others have this problem? Or is it time for me to get a hearing test? :-(

The sound system on the Kop is very poor. I've moved from the kop to the South stand and could hear quite clearly the instructions. I knew that there would be 'problems' from the kop due to this inefficiency.

I don't think this was malicious but down to poor quality communication. The club should have been aware of this on what was a very sensitive occasion.

They could put instructions on the big screen and ask people to observe them. That would help. It’s easy enough to do.

But let’s not blame the club. It wasn’t their mistake, however, I think my suggestion is worth considering for future.

TBF I would accept it was alluded to in the text but it wasn't made explicit. More importantly the editing of the video which clearly set the tone for the piece was precisely done to conceal what happened for the sake of the narrative the telegraph wished to tell. Having said this I wasn't intending to be critical of the Telegraph's reporting; rather I was primarily depressed with the change in what has always been to me an immensely powerful collective moment of solemn reflection turning into what seems to me to be the rather shallower collective response of performance and praise. Of course I see that change is inevitable as time passes and the principal events that we are remembering fall further into the mists of time but if we are going to continue to make the remembrance weekend a pillar of our societal values then it would be nice if the way in which we mark it does not fall into a pastiche of the raw emotion that marked it in earlier times.

The editing of what video?

Think Paulus is referring to the one that the club tweeted out, which had a very abrupt end-cut.

Read that 3 times and still have no idea what you’re on about.

To cut this rather long story short I think we can all agree that all in the stadium were impeccably respectful, Sky cocked up and as no disrespect was meant by anybody including Sky that’s all there is to it.

All that’s required is fot Sky to give a more prominent apology to Sheffield football supporters and that’s it.

To be honest, I don't know what people clapped for anyway. I think clapping is just something people do without thinking about it, especially if someone else starts it. Surely no one thought they had to applaud the bugler and the respect was to be marked with silence.

 

[FlamingLip]

The clapping was purely confusion. All four sides quickly realised and quickly hushed each other up. Silence then ensued. Nothing more than that.

Danny04 good account of what happened but I thought the confusion came after the Last Post not the Reveille.

That’s how I remember it, mate. The main issue though was Sky’s balls up

Agreed. But “Reveille” is what gets soldiers out of bed in the morning, whereas “The Last Post”.........
