No. For some reason the crowd mics were turned right down compared to other games, I can feel the vibration on the cone of the surround speaker near me now, during the Liverpool game, but for City's it was basically off for most of the game. Just watched MOTD & that was on the normal setting, twice as loud as on Sky.

There is no doubt that the crowd noise is muted, or even edited/produced, for tv games with sky and the beeb. A quick watch of a foreign stream will confirm it. On Saturday i watched first 15mins via Bein stream and sounded right. Watched rest of 1st half through sky and sounded awful and flat. Second half was via gmr wireless radio and crowd noise was great. All the shouting/swearing/singing crystal claear. Motd that night and it sounded like a morgue.

Patrick Roberts wasn't £11m, he cost around half of that.
There were add ons included in his transfer, but nothing has been paid yet

And yet the BBC always turn the effects mic's up for Dippers games at Clanfield.

As do Sky.

But tbf the MOTD version of our game was nowhere near as bad as the Sky version for sound.

I can't think of any technical reason for such a reduction as Sky had. You could give the BBC benefit of the doubt on that but Sky was drastic & actually cut it whilst the game was in progress & the commentator was then so fucking loud by comparison, it was just wrong.

I'd be tempted to be a **** if I wrote about Utd as a 'journalist' or if I was in a truck in charge of their sound, so it's no surprise imo that this shit happens.
 
The crowd noise might not be intentional. I switched between SD (stereo) to HD (DD 5.1)then to UHD 4K(DD5.1) and each channel had a different level of crowd sound. The UHD Channel was the worst. The surround channels were completely missing. The SD channel was ok but only in stereo/prologic surround.
For some reason Dolby Digital 5.1 has always had varying problems. The BBC can be the worse culprits. With DD 5.1, many times the centre channel can disappear. Same with the surround sound. They normally sort it out at half time.

The number of saves de Gea has to make is totally over looked --- I accept he's an amazing keeper but, even now, I'd have Eddy.

87 ( joint 2nd highest in the league) to Ederson's 44.

And it's City that have the so called dodgy defence.

This for me is a key stat. People bleat about how United are in second place, and are only 16 points behind, not because they're poor but because City are exceptional. People overlook the fact that if they didn't have a top class keeper making all of these saves, and had Massimo Taibi in net for example, they'd be comfortably mid table. The only reason they are where they are is because they have a good goalkeeper.

It was borderline sinister.

There was loads of crowd noise, City on top, noise gone. Halftime, all the noise kicks back in, second half, crowd noise again, City on top, suddenly, gone. Totally gone, like David Coleman from Mexico in 1970, with one mic.

Imo, it's because they have noise gates on the crowd mics & someone has changed the threshold they are operating at, so effectively most of the surround system is shut off, until there is an announcement blasting out over the PA, then the gates open & you hear it come out of the speakers.

No reason & probabably no facility in the software/hardware, for the gates to change themselves like that. Someone in a truck, has decided to alter it.

I have to say watching on Saturday night you could see the crowd clapping and being active but the noise was so faint. I’m not normally a conspiracy theorist but I have a theory that someone wants to make us look more quiet than we are. Neville constantly comments about it but I have seen him commentate at places like Anfield and it has been like a morgue and no mention of lack of atmosphere. Then the moment there is some singing they will mention it. Just seems really strange to me and I have no idea why someone would do it. It’s definitely happening though.

Well if you put half the people on here, in charge of editing, doing the sound, talking on radio or writing about Manchester Utd, how many of them would try to fuck them over by one means or another ? And then if their employers were actively trying to sell their product to the fanbase of Utd, Liverpool as well, what is to deter them from stitching up City & promoting those clubs ?

Many of the people working on City, tv radio press whatever, don't like us, & many will be fans of Manchester Utd. Then we have the Liverpool, Arsenal fans etc.

It's human nature. I don't get why some people on here, still don't accept how, quite obviously, people are going to behave like that, if they can.

Sometimes it could just be an accident, or coinicidence, or just that he person doesn't give a fuck, because it's us. But some of it will certainly be deliberate.
