Sky football coverage - expletive deleted

Spurs v City

One of the coaches in management team:-

“ up the wing”

“Up the ****ing wing”

Cue apology from commentator “ apologies to those that might have heard some inappropriate language”

What the ?

It’s a tough game, players work hard, they swear regularly in real life, as do the manager and his helpers.

That’s the game warts and all.

It’s a game with artificial crowd noise and pitch noise picked up by Sky’s own strategically placed microphones.

With microphones nigh on up the players arses just what do Sky expect?

Grist, like you say they use 'artificial crowd noise' but still insist on placing microphones in close proximity to dugouts, what do they expect to pick up?

'Oh what a gorgeous pass from our number 9'

'Spiffing..totally spiffing'

'Oh golly gee we've scored a goal'

I'm surprised they use them, when it's a normal full stadium you can't even hear verbals coming from a dugout!

They reap what they sow.

Exactly
Why not shove their mics where the sun don’t shine, they only use them probably to try and earwig to make a story
