    Look if he wants to record the game to reflect on it or share it with his mates later, then let him do it. Just because you don't like something doesn't make it stupid. I'm sure he has phenomenal battery life and I'm sure him recording the game doesn't effect his view, or anybody elses, and it's great to watch for those of us who can't get over for enough games.

    However, literally just screaming "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" as a reaction to things would be really, really annoying to sit beside. Or at least it was to hear. When I'm happy I tend to shout YES! or a string of expletives, I don't react how I would if I got out of the shower and someone was standing there holding a knife.

    Still, I turned the volume down and enjoyed the video.

    I liked the video. It's cool seeing the extended footage of the players celebrating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,111 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    I recognise his voice, he has being uploading those videos for the past 3 seasons now. He has got some good footage and seems to go to every game

    And the crowds reaction is quality, esp to the peno save.

    I do think it's a bit mad to be recording so much but his angle is class.

    Dozens of TV cameras at every game and that twat thinks he needs to record it. :rolleyes:

    Their phone is probably better defined in any photo taken, than their fuzzy selfie head.

    Woah schnukums, I decide what is right around here.

    I'll shift you if you disagree

    Its looking like the only game that won't be on TV before January will be Stoke at home on 2nd Dec (assuming Setanta pick United at 3pm on Saturdays) by far and away the most broadcast club in Ireland - good going for a team who finished 7th last year :)

    That Falcao song is rubbish. Hopefully a new one will pop up soon.

    Wonder if it'll be shown on Beinsports or one of the Scandinavian stations maybe?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    Yeah that lad is the lad who used to always upload the player celebrations for the past few seasons. He used to act like a twat on his youtube. Horrendous grammar too iirc :P But I enjoy the videos.

    So this will be the Inaugural Boards.ie Man United thread trip to a game?

    I might have a read of Keano's book to keep me going over the international break, from what I've seen so far I like it...

    Definately - it will be shown across the world except in Ireland and England ... It will be among the easiest to get on the Internet - even English commentary from states no doubt.

    its a great chant when you just want to stand there and act the clown while watching the match.

    its one of those ones that can be sang for 10 minutes at time.

    Reminds me of the 'Viva Ronaldo' chant in that regard.

    To be fair, the Falcao chant is one he's had since Madrid.

    What?!

    It's absolutely fantastic. Madrid fans did it first and I for one am absolutely ****ing delighted we are keeping it instead of trying to stuff his name into KC and The Sunshine Band - Give It Up or Seven Nation Army like every club seems more than happy to.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭Blatter


    The only problem I have with the Falcao song is that the name Radamel is a huge part of it and he himself prefers not to be called it!

    ive had it on repeat play for the last 5 minutes :o

    i love those sort of chants, as compared to U-N-I and all those pete boyle inspired ones.

    Don't know if anyone noticed - referring to the video of the goals scored + De Gea saves - when De Gea made the last save, I loved the way when he got up off the ground, Naismith held out his hand to shake hands with De Gea. I love that, great sportsmanship. Great to see an opposing player congratulate a fellow player. Love it.

    For anyone that is interested, it is around the 4:50 mark;

    That guy who recorded it, what an annoying twat, did he actually record the whole game??

    Ah leave him be. If that's how he gets his enjoyment from the game then who cares.

    His form of celebration though "AHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHAA HAA HAA! AHHHHHHHHH!"

    Mother of Jaysus.

    my problem with him is how on earth he gets tickets for seemingly every single away game.

    he must have a camera thats fixed to his hat or something, no way he would sit there for 90 mins with phone in his hand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    There is no way thats a phone. great quality to be able to zoom in so close.

    If he wasnt shouting, it wouldnt be so annoying but its still pretty cool

    I think you're seriously underestimating how bad some people can be. I once saw a guy film an entire metallica concert while he was standing 5 feet from the band. So a guy filming entire matches doesn't sound that far fetched to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,824 ✭✭✭ericzeking


    The zooming in and out suggests to me that he's actually more interested in his recording than the game, he was asking his mate who gave away the penalty and then he seemed unsure who would take it for Everton...ie he either didn't know Baines was on the pitch because he's twiddling with his phone so much or he just doesn't know who takes penalties for Everton and lacks basic knowledge.

    He would annoy the f*ck out of me now at a game.

    Seems like a great quality phone though!!!

    In the blaze before the qpr game and pete was conducting the crowd for chants (which he always does) and he had one for di maria that i thought was utter sh!te....really hope it doesnt catch on!

    Drives me insane, at one of the Springsteen gigs last year a guy literally stood there (close enough to us, in the pit) and watched the entire thing through his tablet. I mean (actually thats probably a bit strong, does my tits in but I get over it quick enough by feeling very sorry for the individual...) for **** sake are you there to enjoy the experience or not?

    Has happened at numerous concerts I have been to and I will never understand it. Goes against what its about to me, was the same in the Aviva for Roger Waters last year actually, and OCS in the Olympia! Last year was a particularly bad year for it obviously, must be getting more and more common
