Boycott Setanta.

[ScottyT]

I bet the Setanta bigwigs have called an emergency meeting as we speak!!

 

Whahay! It's the Jerk.

 

Go on, tell us how you felt when Torres' header went in?

[lamai]

get a sat to point to 13east instead of sky's 28east and get this loads of football.

nova

 

or this one

[ScottyT]

MOTD was also shite.

 

I wonder if the media will go to town on Scolari.

[BRAP]

To be honest,I have the full sky package and I have refused to pay anymore,Sentana are shit,,the saturday night away games I watch on the tinternet on stream on a 17 inch pc monitor its fuckin boss and there are pundits on there who you dont even know its macca/sherwood free. fuck sentanta

[Dan Vito Corleone]

MOTD was also shite.

He'll be on their hitlist soon enough.

[ScottyT]

He took some major abuse today. Banners, booing the lot.

[OmarVizquel]

Wasn't too bad, to be honest. I tend to hate all announcers on whatever channel when my team is losing. When Fernando scored everything was right with the world again.

 

Why do the cameras on Setanta always seem like they're shooting from outer space though? Players always seem smaller on Setanta telecasts....

[Dicko]

I have to say I thought Setanta crossed the line into open impartiality today. Burley & Sherwood are terrible and went into outright hostility toward rafa today that was bang out of order.

 

Claridge as well saying people would have been made up with Liverpool getting beat because of the way we've behaved the last week.

 

What the fuck is he on about? Since when has Robbie Keane been a Sacred Cow?

[taliesin08]

Fcuk them all we won and are top of the league.

[G Richards]

Faustus - very erudite on page one. Spot on with regard to media and masses. Repped.

[Lucky Pierre]

I cancelled mine ages ago, either watch them in the pub or on the net now. £13 a month for about one match? Rip off

[ReddOrDedd]

I find it odd when some people seem to think it's fine to have to pay to watch a match and then turn the sound down and listen to the radio instead in order to avoid witless and biased punditry. If I pay to watch a match on TV I expect decent coverage. Setanta's indulging of Tim Sherwood is outrageous. It's a shoddy product being foisted on to subscribers.

 

So when you're not at the game, how do you watch it?

[Cosmos]

No offence to you, mate, but I find that when people constantly bitch about the media, I find it embarassing. I found it really cringeworthy when people complained about Andy Gray last season when he wasn't giving us any credit.

 

So what if we're not people's cup of tea? I honestly couldn't give a shite.

 

I think the media are more important than you give credit. In terms of ideology, what is said by the media has an effect on the team over games, seasons and years, I think i'm bourn out by overwhelming evidence too.

[The 5th Benitel]

Who gives a fuck what Tim Sherwood thinks? It seems like people are just looking to get pissed off half the time. So a shit former player who has become a shit coach and doesn't like the way we mark at free kicks. Who cares?

 

I get Setanta free but i wouldn't stop watching it cos of some prick pundit cos the only reason i'd have it on is to watch my team play.

 

I hate the way some of our fans kick off about everything cos it undermines the geniune gripes we have with people and organisations who we really have cause to hate.

[thechap]

The only reason the media have an effect is because fans let them. This thread and many others are the evidence.

 

Some fans are like small children running in tears to Mummy saying "Mummy, Andy Gray just said something horrible about me".

 

Has it ocurred to any of these children that their reactions could be what drive the media to come out with more crap? Or that their whining is why LFC supporters are now thought of as the biggest lot of whiners and moaners?

 

There are pundits out there who don't like LFC and won't hide it. Whoop-dee-fucking-doo. I'm happy to say when someone's talking shit but I won't get upset about it.

 

Chill out. Let them talk shit while we talk about the football.

heehee :D

It's so true. A banker was telling me something very similar about the public reaction to the current financial situation. If only people responded to complete incompetence by growing a bit of backbone and ignoring it the world would be a much better place. Now where's my mute button...

[Trucker Paddy]

Not having that tonight. An absolute disgrace from start to finish. Mcmanaman should be ashamed of himself sitting there letting that obvious stitch up go on. The club should fuck them off too.

 

I've just cancelled mine.

 

We'll post up the scores for you:yes:

[MAC5]

Just do what i do then, get the team news of here and then turn the match on a couple mins before kick off, then turn over at half time and then turn off at full time. I dont need a couple of spazzies in the studio to tell me if we've played well or not.

[dudek#1]

Would anybody on here really expect a station like Setanta to have a grain of impartiality?

[gkmacca]

 

'Look I wanted a piano, and you two idiots have dropped it!'

 

'Why do you even like music? No one FORCED you! Why not do what we do when we buy a piano and two idiots drop it: we pretend we own a trumpet, or we listen to the radio, or take up gardening. No crying. I don't understand you people...'

[hamstrung]

Agree with that. Criticism is fine, but they went beyond that last night.

[Elite]

Who gives a fuck. It's a bunch of ex pro's who have never had a managerial success between them dictating how much they know about football, which is very little.

I give a fuck, because I am paying them for the privilege.

Moaning about it won't change anything. Realistically what can we do about it? Not much sadly.
