Prime Coverage

[coolasanidiot]

Simply awful. Close ups of the players when the play is going on. Watching Theo Walcott death walk off the pitch and to keep camera on him for further seconds AAAGHHHH. Producer wants sacking.

The Blades played with more energy tonight- but we were toothless AGAIN.

Thought stand out players were Bash/ Baldock/Berge/ Goldy/ Fleck for bit he was on.

Overall season been brilliant- so who cares..

At least they had a Blades pundit but I agree they kept doing close ups the of the players and managers when the ball was in play.

I thought it was good coverage. Better commentators and a smoother experience overall.

 

[BettingBlade]

I thought the punditry was some of the best we've had in recent weeks, however the camera work did leave a lot to be desired at times.

 

[HackeyBlade]

Berge was at fault for the goal and thought he was shit all game, and did Baldock play a ball forward?

I can't stand Clive.

Goldy.... Seriously?

What exactly did he do tonight that was dangerous to the opposition?

I thought he did bugger all, all night.

The others, yes I thought did OK.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I really don’t like Ally McCoist. He got about 10 Rangers mentions into a Blades v Everton game.

I would say McBurnie fouling someone needlessly in a dangerous area (when they have good delivery) when Osborn won the header didn't help either.

And the ref for giving it.

Berge is the world's shortest giant though tbf

 

[Reyt Then]

I think the recap at the end summed it up where someone on the production team kicked the mic plugs out and were audibly panicking trying to fix the cock up.

 

[SwissBlade]

I missed the first half on TV so had to listen to 5Live. Trust me, Mark Lawrenson and the commentator were the worst I’ve ever listened to.

Yes I get that it was a boring half, but they’re paid to commentate on the game rather than just chat shit for 45 mins.

In fairness, Lawrenson chats shit even when he is commentating on the game. Double edged sword really.

Not sure I’ve ever heard him co-commentate before, doesnt he do match of the day with Hansen and Lineker?

when sky and prime have the likes of Neville, Michael Brown, McCoist you Realise how bar people like Lawrenson are

I think he does some of the cup games on the BBC now and again. There's probably a reason he's never on sky or bt or amazon as they are probably well aware he's not worth the money they will have to pay him.

 

[Flumps]

The crowd noise! Fuck sake. I've grown to be fine with the crowd noise actually but it seemed like Amazon had it dialed up to 11 and the commentary on 5... with a thick blanket over it.

Much better than BT sport.

Crowd were up for it fair play

Pre match they were excellent and actually talked about us rather than a later game like sky seemed to do every time.

Weird that they built their own media platform in the kop meaning last summer's media building got used....once!!

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Other than the weird technical decisions to linger on closeups while the action was clearly going on elsewhere, I was actually pleasantly surprised by it. There was the obvious post-match sound fail but what you could hear I thought was decent.

 

[S64 Blade]

Much better than Sky and BT. Only downside was some of the camera angles/cuts.

 

[Camden Blade]

This habit of focusing on close ups of players faces while the action is going on and showing endless replays of minor incidents while the ball is in play is something all broadcaster's are guilty of. Also switching to side views when teams are attacking disrupts the view. Why do they do it? Show the side view on replays fine but don't keep breaking up the action.

Director

Hello mr producer, nice of you to pop in.

 

[South London Blade]

Low bar. BT are shit at everything they have a hand in!

 

[Hodgesleftpeg]

Hello mr producer, nice of you to pop in.

You’re welcome

 

[Bucksblade]

I thought the camera work and different angles were better than SKY. Although i watched on 28 inch IMac with 5k pixel screen which is better than my TV.
I was apprehensive about Amazon coverage but was pleasantly surprised.

 

[Rochdaleblade]

When Billy shoulder barged their player off the ball I genuinely had no idea what decision had been made. All I saw were close ups of players arguing.

 

[Alf Tuppers Shorts]

I really don’t like Ally McCoist. He got about 10 Rangers mentions into a Blades v Everton game.

To be honest he did a good job keeping that game anywhere near interesting.

 

[mancunianblade]

When Basham went down and nothing was given I couldn’t understand it so was waiting or the replay and what I got was a replay of the Everton goal FFS

 

[Rodley]

Loads better than BT Sport and thought it was on a par with SKY. Thought McCoist was decent and liked Campbell and Brown as pundits.

Know others have complained about stream quality but on our fibre connection it was absolutely superb. Really crisp.

Erm... You know you could turn it off right?
