They just did it again for the same chant albeit the song was quieter that time so it was less noticeable. It's well after 9 so why are they doing that?

Yep sky commentators regularly apologise for any industrial language picked up by microphones many a time you hear the f word

I remember listening to Cantor & Aspinall apologising for a Burnley fan, who must have been right outside their commentary box.
Every other word was a profanity. Get it in the ******** mixer.

Can you imagine, Sky commentators then apologising to themselves, on behalf of the Dirty fans, for any offence caused. Even though Sky's coverage is helping to keep Dirty financially solvent. Bit farcical tbh.

Not sure it's hypocritical - Sky don't want swearing on their broadcast to their customers, much like Iceland don't want their drivers swearing at their customers when dropping off the shopping (other companies can also deliver shopping without use of the vernacular).

Perhaps we should ban all under 18s from football stadiums lest their tender young ears hear the f word. Kick offs for live TV matches after the 9 o'clock watershed. You know it makes sense, and there'll be no trouble for fans getting home on public transport after the match, will there?

I know what you mean. Back in the 50s and 60s they used to have a boys' enclosure at Anfield, for the use of unaccompanied young lads. It was widely believed this was to protect the rest of the Kop!

I suspect Sky are just applying the broadcasting regs after a quiet word from Ofcom.
Microphones are a lot better than they used to be.

perhaps Sky would like to stop Martin Tiler mumbling into his microphone ?

You may be right about OFCOM, but mics were always able to pick up chants and shouting from the crowd very well.

Been going on for a while. I've noticed it for a couple of seasons.
Haha, don't know where my brain has been then. Oops!
