yet more Americanised nonsense. Bad enough that teams like palace have cheerleaders, megaphones and goal music. 

They'll have picture in picture in-game adverts next. 

Only upside will be the players hopefully using some colourful language and throwing their teammates and manager under the bus when they feel they shouldn't of been subbed.

    Ridiculous. How long before a player has an earpiece in and they chat with the commentary team during breaks of play, like they do (did?) in the televised domestic T20 cricket matches.

    I've just seen this, half time interviews. No thank you to it all, let them play and interview after why change it?!

    And next up, added time multiball!

    This the way sport in general is going, rather than just an American thing. If you want the TV riches, then you have to provide them more than just the plain action on the pitch.

    Personally I can't imagine substituted players saying anything of interest, unless they f bomb or slag off the manager.

    I just hope they can educate the likes of myself on how we should operate as individuals.
    I need guidance from a half baked extremely rich idiot

    Dear god what has any player that’s been subbed going to have to say that’s of any interest to anyone?

    Or any modern day player, for that matter, whether they've been subbed or not.

    All you get is ultra-bland nothingness, soundbites and cliches.

    I remember watching an old episode of The Big Match a few months ago and there was a post-match interview with Man Utd keeper Gary Bailey and he was talking, at great depth, through a howler or two he'd made when conceding from corners. Totally different from the PR-schooled players of today.

    My favourite is in the NFL when they try to interview coaches at half-time and Mike McDaniel, Dolphins coach, just runs away from them down the tunnel.

    Sky/broadcasters won’t be satisfied until they’ve killed the golden goose. Jesus.

    Can't wait for more wonderful player insight just like this...

    That interviewer should be politely demoted to a role of not talking. 'Talk us through the goal' 'What is the feeling when a ball hits the back of the net'? I would expect a 5 year old to ask more insightful questions than that.

    As for interviewing the subs, it is just going to turn into being about the personalities and not the sport soon. We already have American sports for that. Football is actually a good sport to watch. Can we just focus on doing that well please.

    Let's hope CATV don't get any ideas.

    Is there a prize for the first player to say he’s been “pulled off”?
  • fenlandaddickfenlandaddick
    Failing to see the value in this. The game will still be being played, and then either cuts to the interview, is just audio or have a small window in the corner. I mean what exact insights are we going to get ? The action on the pitch is the most important aspect, all the rest can happen once it has finished.

    at least there is one advantage in being unlikely to get promotion

    Do I really want to hear some knackered bloke, giving me his thoughts about why he’s been taken off, puffing and panting giving media trained answers, not reall, all seems a bit unnecessary and unneeded.
  • valleynick66valleynick66
    Indifferent towards this. 

    The thing that should change and for which there is no real reason not to (bad language  can be caught and effectively  trained out after a few weeks) is ‘miking’ the referee. Works in Rugby and could be made to work for Football too. If we wanted too of course to change bad behaviour towards the officials.

    Is there anyone from CL working for Sky Sports and their football coverage?

    Sky love their on-screen graphics during coverage so it would be great to hear a subbed player talk about being "pulled off" and immediately see this on screen:

    I know a guy, who does dugout cam for a Premier League club's social media, if there is an appetite for it 😏️

    I think it would be much more fun if they interviewed players who had just received a red card.
    Or they could try and interview players whilst they are still on the pitch. An interviewer and a cameraman running around trying to keep up with the player as he tries to play football and answer questions. 
    Almost (from the OP link):

    Point of order: this was true ten years ago, but there's actually been a recent push against media-trained blandness cos everyone hates it

    Player being subbed.

    Interviewer 'why do you think you've been subbed?'

    Player 'cos I'm shagging the managers wife'.

    Should put an instant end to interviews like that.
  • Dave2lDave2l
    Bad idea and serves no purpose. All its going to do is just piss people off.

    "Hi, you've just been taken off because you're shit and losing 0-3 at home to Sheffield Wednesday.

    How are you feeling right now?"

    Skysports: erm, sorry to inform viewers at home but a substituted player has just thrown a presenters mic on the pitch and then told him to f*ck off. 
    We'll be adding more minutes stoppage time to retrieve the mic from the pitch.

    Where will it end ? Not content with now having the pre match pundits on the pitch and sone bird sniffing h around the tunnel 😂- players will be Miked up soon and give a running commentary on what their doing and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the data that’s recorded on them boob tubes they wear is broadcast live 
  • iaitchiaitch
    And then TV companies will be constantly apologising if you heard some inappropriate language.

    Have they ever thought that less is more? 

    Too much prematch talk.

    Too many commentators.

    Too many half time pundits.

    Too many instant replays while the game is going on.

    Too many close ups of some celeb in the crowd or the manager writing his notes while the game is going on.
