I will be watching the Palace match.

I will be watching the Palace match.

Closest I'll get to that is if Mrs wants to watch "The Crown".

 

[Rob the Imp]

0-0 at 67' between Watford and Leicester.

 

[Rob the Imp]

Gray replaces Barnes for Leicester.

 

[Rob the Imp]

Welbeck replaces Pereyra for Watford. I had no idea Welbeck was at Watford!

 

[Rob the Imp]

Cracking free kick for Palace's goal there!

 

[sedgleyimp]

I must say I've always liked that Palace kit. Really should be their first choice

 

[Rob the Imp]

It is pretty smart.

 

[Rob the Imp]

Nicely worked goal there. Palace 2-0 up now.

Having so far only watched the Norwich-Saints game and the current Bournemouth-Palace one ( as I only have freeview) one thing I've noticed is far less histrionics and playacting from the players.

Perhaps the enforced absence of supporters is affecting this aspect which might not be a bad thing in the long run.

Of course it might just be that it's only been so in these two games

I think that 5 Live only use this forum for its information

For those of us with Freeview if you are interested the Newcastle/Blades and Merseyside game are both on Pick, Channel 11

Blades game is poor.
Centre-back sent off wants fecking, that Joelinton couldn't score on a dartboard!

Are the British channels inserting crowd noise? NBC is, and it is embarrassing.

On the free-to-air channels, yes; and yes.

Hope the broadcasters soon realise how Mickey Mouse it sounds and drop it.

It is naff but I suspect they will keep it to prevent broadcasting a bit of effin' and jeffin' at 3pm on a Sunday afternoon if there was no crown noise to cover it

Watching and seeing a Chelsea defender give the ball away, but obviously no crowd reaction, in some circumstances no crowd could be a positive I wonder? Got me thinking of the odd player at Lincoln who the crowd didn’t completely take too (even John Akinde) wonder how they might get on if they knew they wouldn’t hear a groan go up if they missed a chance or similar.
