    You’ll still hear it. Theres always that delay before it kicks in and somehow it makes the chants even more noticeable

    These producers thinking they can just hide reality at their whim because they think so little of regular people is both megalomaniacal and pathetic at the same time. Useless fucks

      They need to comply with broadcasting regulations. If it’s pre-planned, they can censor it. It’s why you immediately get an apology if a pitchside mic picks something up.

    How are we this far into the 21st century and MFs still don’t understand the Streisand effect?

    As an outsider.

    The protestors can only blame themselves here, you all know stations need to comply to certain rules, chant something else that they can actually broadcast.

    Would be easier to show it. By censoring it in the 10th minute, you’re just going to get the crowd to do it again randomly for the rest of the match.

    I mean they still might even if Sky don’t censor them but silencing pissed off people rarely works.

    Sky Sports will take steps to prevent offensive language from a planned protest by Everton fans being clearly audible during the live TV match against Manchester United on Sunday. To comply with Ofcom’s rules, the broadcaster will even consider using pre-recorded crowd noise if required.

    Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

    The broadcast regulator Ofcom’s regulations state that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.

    Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue and insiders said it takes its responsibility to protect its viewers seriously and will look to mitigate any offensive language being heard on air. Any action by the broadcaster would be to ensure it is following Ofcom’s regulations rather than to take a position on a protest.
