    These producers thinking they can just hide reality at their whim because they think so little of regular people is both megalomaniacal and pathetic at the same time. Useless fucks

      They need to comply with broadcasting regulations. If it’s pre-planned, they can censor it. It’s why you immediately get an apology if a pitchside mic picks something up.

    Nothing new for Sky, swear this also happened when for some daft reason they televised a Celtic game immediately after the queen died

    Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

    I mean seriously, LOL at how shit this is.

    As an outsider.

    The protestors can only blame themselves here, you all know stations need to comply to certain rules, chant something else that they can actually broadcast.

    I did work experience at Sky in 2002, they had me say “Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea” into a microphone and now I’m in a protracted legal battle to get the royalties I’m due for every televised game at Stamford Bridge over the last 20 years.

    Would be easier to show it. By censoring it in the 10th minute, you’re just going to get the crowd to do it again randomly for the rest of the match.

    I mean they still might even if Sky don’t censor them but silencing pissed off people rarely works.

    I don’t have a dog in this fight but Everton getting 10 points deducted with Man City going basically years upon years unpunished makes me think of the Jerry Tarkanian quote:

    “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky. they’re going to give Cleveland State another year of probation”

    No one at the top ever gets held accountable.
