One way of making them not put cameras in and I mean surely its an invasion of privacy, I'm surprised PFA hasn't stepped in regards this.

Also regards to half time interviews again ridiculous, as players you need to get in to recover and take in any tactics been discussed not be dragged out for an interview.

Should refuse to interview or make a no comment (or as little as possible).

I dont agree with it and I dont see what value it adds to the spectator or the game, they are trying to Americanise it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that they wish to hear the views of a manager at half time or a player coming off

Im not saying whether i agree with the whole thing or not, but im sure they've been doing this with Rugby on the TV for a few years now.

Rugby League mainly, if i remember right.

I’ve been thinking about it and unless it’s the summer international tournaments where they tend to have more relaxed discussions with pundits, I’ve gradually stopped watching the pre match, half time and full time anyway. It’s too much and the pundits are generally boring or annoying.

If I could turn off comms completely I probably would

Purely Americanising the sport.

Its commercialism and its a professional sport =a business and tbh they have been doing this with the FA Cup and League cup for a few years now

For me this is the final nail in the coffin of football being a sport. It is now entirely devised as an entertainment for the armchair fan. Aaaaaah, jumpers for goalposts…………………………………

Of course it is and even though since 2000 grumpy traditionalists keep predicting the bubble will burst and the changes will destroy the game, the truth is the opposite has happened, incredibly football is getting bigger and even more popular. It’s the final nail for traditionalists but Sky aren’t bothered, for every 10 traditional fans they lose they gain an extra 100 fans who enjoy gimmicks and more modernisation.

Appreciate Sheffielders are scared of change but obviously it’s another idea where Sky are willing to pay more money to get every last drop of entertainment out of the game.

It’s become more and more Americanised, so our owners will be fine with it all and think of it as normal.

Personally I agree with you and think the game is heading in a strange direction but they pay the money, ensuring that Sheff Utd can afford the better players, so,I suppose it’s their choice to provide their TV based customers what they want.
 
What’s the point though?
Get some random woman that’s never played football to ask a player that’s been subbed for been wank how was it?…..

“Yeah brilliant all the best to the lads”

Terrific insight 👍

I nearly always record matches so I can fast forward through the shite. Agree, I’d much prefer no comms, just the crowd noise.
 

Footballers tend to waffle crap after a match, so how is it going to be any different when they have been subbed?

They cannot actually say what they want to say, So it is just going to be clichè after clichè.

They probably aren't going to say "Im not happy at being subbed off" or "the team is playing crap"

They are more likely to say "Still another 45 minutes left, so who knows?"

Or the presenter will ask "It looks like you picked up an injury before coming off... do tell us more" ... "yeah... i erm... tuck a little knock to the calf, hopefully it's not serious, but yeah, listen the lads are doing well..." (Losing 0-2)
Blah blah blah

Yet another fad that's designed to bring us closer to the game yet it's never been further away from it.

All this means is we have to listen to another 15 instances per game of "Once again, apologies for any industrial language you might have heard. Tensions are high."

I'm only wondering how they'll fit the adverts in.

Love a vapid cliche myself. It's on Selles that.
 
Just give players licence to go on a Scott Steiner probabilities rant after they've been subbed and they will abandon this experiment very quickly

Wouldn't mind so much if we got genuine opinions and feelings out of players.

I remember souzas interview after the Luton game in our last PL season, it was so refreshing because you completely got his personality.

All we are going to get is more players saying " it's all about the team, thanks to the supporters, we work hard and take it game by game".

Can someone also confirm for me that players read off something located to the bottom right hand corner? They always look there whilst they are repeating their dull monotone rubbish

The only positive I see in this is if managers are genuine with what they say and it gives insight into "what we need to do differently in the second half". It has to be better than the pundits' analysis at HT

It’ll stop when one of oppo staff watches it on an iPad and counter tactic immediately, might as well have open dressing room

Waiting for a mardy arse prima Donna call his manager a useless cunt for subbing him off on 50 mins
 
I watch Danish football and managers are obliged to give brief interviews at half time. Usually it's a single question, and the entire interview takes less than a minute. Obviously managers aren't going to speak about their tactics, so the questions are normally something like "are you happy with the way your team played in the first half?" Managers give bland, noncommital answers and that's that. Pointless really - I'd rather see analysis or highlights.

I remember watching Aussie, rugby league grand final years ago, Sam Burgess cheek got busted at the start of the game, they stuck a microphone in his face at half time and asked "How's the cheek?" His response "its fucked" 🤣
 
I take it people at home can watch half-time manager's comments, subs' comment, etc, on TV at home and not at the ground live.
Another bad idea from Sky Sports, in my opinion. Half time will be longer than 15 minutes, so full time will be later.
Great if you're at the game, evening games in particular won't finish until after 10 pm.Good luck getting public transport home, so in effect, causing fans to stay at home and watch on TV. Bleeding Sky Sports is ruining our game. This will affect attendance for evening games.
