...and Dixon, the slimy c**t.I watch games on foreign streams, had enough of Carragher, Neville, Mcmanaman & Alan Smith ruining spurs games
Definitely prefer watching Spurs' games without the fake noise, but for other games, especially ones I'm not too invested in, I prefer to have it on.Not commentators but I prefer watching a game without the fake crowd noise.
As I posted on a thread earlier, my wife thought the players heard the recorded crowd sounds, bless her.Not commentators but I prefer watching a game without the fake crowd noise.

So did you before hearing otherwise on the Spurs docu - 100% confirmedAs I posted on a thread earlier, my wife thought the players heard the recorded crowd sounds, bless her.
I quite like hearing the players and coaches........and the apologies from the commentators for the swearing.Not commentators but I prefer watching a game without the fake crowd noise.
The poll concerns when fans actually return to the stadium so the crowd noise would be real. If you don't wish to hear that as well as not wanting a commentary simply turn your TV volume to zero. Sorted.I don't mind the commentary, but if there was an option to turn it off then I would. Not a fan of the fake crowd noise either.
Mr. Voldemort - fancy adding an option for "No commentary, no fake crowd noise either" for me
Not quite as I like to hear the ambient noise, but I take your point (and misread your opening post).The poll concerns when fans actually return to the stadium so the crowd noise would be real. If you don't wish to hear that as well as not wanting a commentary simply turn your TV volume to zero. Sorted.
I think this has been the biggest change to affect the TV viewing experience in my lifetime. I really don't mind commentary if it stuck purely to describing what was happening. I'm not looking for an opinion on the game, just identify who the players are that pass and/or receive the ball. If there's a tackle I want to know who tackled who.The problem with commentators is there are always bloody two of them so they start waffling utter shit. If it was just one and he kept it simple then no problem.
However, I'd rather just have the crowd noise all day long.
Pundit - noun - an expert in a particular subject or field who is frequently called upon to give their opinions to the public.I think I've misunderstood as I don't think the likes of Carragher, Neville, McManaman, Dixon, Murphy, Smith, etc are commentators. They're pundits/summarisers, no?
Nice tip mate. ThanksIf you have surround speakers you can have a play by disconnecting speakers to find out which one takes out the commentary. Either the centre speaker needs unplugging or the front three. The rear two just had crowd noises.
As for commentators, I don't mind Peter Drury. But he could probably just sound better because he is usually paired with Jim Beglin. Possibly the most depressing whining drone in the sport. His love for the dippers makes Neville and Spitty seem level headed and rational.
For any games versus the dippers, chavs, manure or a cup game, I mute the commentary. I would much prefer to listen to Korean commentators or anywhere else that get worked up into a frenzy when we score.
Too right!I think this has been the biggest change to affect the TV viewing experience in my lifetime. I really don't mind commentary if it stuck purely to describing what was happening. I'm not looking for an opinion on the game, just identify who the players are that pass and/or receive the ball. If there's a tackle I want to know who tackled who.
I don't want to hear their opinion on whether they think it's a red or yellow card, or didn't deserve one at all, just confirm what the official's decision was.
I don't want to hear their opinion of the team sitting back or having all the possession.
I don't want the commentary to have any chit-chat.
I don't want meaningless stat-o-thon, in fact nowadays the stats are tweeted during the game (from opta and others) I can choose myself to read them, always makes me laugh when within 30 seconds of Opta tweeting something the commentator just repeats it. Same when on-screen possession stats or shot stats get shown, why repeat them? They are on the fucking screen!!
I don't know if this is an age thing or not, probably is, but whenever I rewatch an old commentary of say Barry Davis or Ken Wolstenholme this is how I want my commentary. Simple, clean descriptive of the action as it happens on the pitch. Take me to the game.
There are night and day difference to TV and Radio comms too, I've regularly opted for the radio coms whilst watching on TV (except Alan Green, who I simply can't listen to, basically down to being force-fed a constant opinionated version, I do listen to his build-up to games though).
The only caveat to radio comms is of course if you are purely listening to it, that's not to say you've got it on whilst watching the game on the telly. You simply have to trust what you are listening to is a fair reflection of what is happening in the game. I'm happy though to enjoy a radio commentary, they genuinely bring you into the game and describe events like crowd songs & celebrations, even what's being sung and why (if it was a reaction to something).Too right!
Usually the radio commentators are better, purely by the need for radio being descriptive and not opinionated or filler.
Which is why I prefer teletext for news as well. Less info is more likely to be correct info.
