Points lost during Match day announcements- 4

If our players can't cope with an announcement then they might want to reconsider their career.

Totally agree with most of these comments. Whole thing is totally a bugbear of mine, every home game. I arrive early to chat with a large group of fans in the MRS and as early as 40 mins before KO. Instead of being able to chat, we are all shouting at each other as an endless stream of stuff is bellowed out of the overloud speakers, for the benefit of what must be less than 200 fans, as most sensible people are still in the bar/pub or still making their way to the game. It’s the same at HT, music thundering continuously so you can’t discuss the first half with anyone.
And of course, as everyone is saying here now, inappropriate and overlong announcements during the game. And often not when the ball is out of play, player being fixed due to an injury etc, it’s while the game is in full flow instead. As another fan has said, is the announcer even watching the game? Are they in a broom-cupboard under the stand?
I too have been waiting for some of these announcements to not only spoil pre-match and HT period, but ultimately a critical moment in the match, and now it’s happened.
It could be said we are clutching at straws or overreacting, but it really is a pain in the hoop tbh.
Personally I quite like the welsh/English announcements, but speed them up for goodness sake, and do them during breaks in play.

Alternatively, perhaps announcements shouldn't be announced during crucial times. Much like perhaps, MVG during darts, someone shouting in the crowd. It shouldn't, but can put you off depending on that persons state or strength of mind.

I was thinking the same. Announcing mom as they equalise. Or is it just me watching the game. Nah. Most of us in the mold road smelt that goal coming.

Never forget years ago Wrexham Away v York City 0 0 five mins to go...old fashioned blood and guts 0 0 draw about to finish.. Corner to York with Wrexham player receiving treatment., announcer sees break in play and says MOM For York is Tony Barras.. ( York centre half)...cue corner and Mr Barras plonks said corner into net....bugger...!!!!

I said that they were distracted at the time! Not the best time to make announcements. Wait until the end of the match!

Hopefully they'll read this and keep quiet until the end of the game!

I know,what’s the point of other languages even existing when everybody understands English anyway.

I totally agree. Announcements should not be made made while play is in progress
