1976_Child Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 (edited) Nigel, (NC and club PR person too), Please don't allow yourself to be filmed again in a manner as you did after today's game The interviewer was standing above you, the camera was below you. It made you look small and week looking across the camera and up towards the interviewer. It was an amateur setup from start to finish. There should have been a club PR person there to supervise. You were understandably flustered after the result, but to communicate so poorly is a gimme to the other clubs. What you said was honest and good; how you were filmed saying it negated everything you were trying to get across. Not good enough, in this day and age. Get the PR people doing their job. Set the camera up, either with the interviewer in camera or with the subject (Nige) talking at most 20 degrees off the camera to the interviewer.

1976_Child Posted 3 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Somebody on here recently said that we, the fans, over-analyse every detail of the club, can you believe that...!!!!???? The interview was poorly set up. It was on the terrace, the interviewer was on the step above NA the camera was below him. We pay our lads many thousands of pounds a week to play, and I don't begrudge them that. But for the love of God, can we find a few quid to hire someone to oversee the post match interview? The subject should never, never, not ever, be filmed looking across and up camera. It is just amateur. Let alone by a sympathetic crew. And we are not an amateur club. We're top of the league, damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShirleySaint Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 I can't understand some of our fans. A bit of constructive advice (1976_Child have you emailed club directly?) and from under a stone emerges the usual 'one brain cell between them' type of comment. We are a top professional club, we should act that way in EVERYTHING we do, and if someone who knows what they are talking about can offer advice on how to improve then that should be encouraged not degenerated. Was Poyet interviewed in the same position? if so then poor facilities provided by Brighton, if not then deliberate either by TV company or Brighton in the facilities they make available to interview opposing managers.

Fan The Flames Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Sounded good on the radio. You could tell on the radio that he was looking up an his voice was a quarter of an actave higher, it was unlistenable. We are officially a laughing stock of the footballing world.

1976_Child Posted 3 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Does anyone think for a minute that Sir Alex would allow himself to be interviewed like that? No. We are a club which needs to exude confidence at every level and in everything. I'm sorry if some of you don't get it but like I say the setup of the interview was poor.

No. We are a club which needs to exude confidence at every level and in everything. I'm sorry if some of you don't get it but like I say the setup of the interview was poor. Sir Alex doesn't like doing interviews at the best of times, and is a miserable old scroat, not the best of examples. But what I don't see is how this is Saints fault, I haven't seen the interview but I assume it was being done by TV company or something at the Amex. Are you seriously suggesting that we employ someone to be in between any of our staff/players and ensure that it is set up professionally before they are allowed to speak? I see where you are coming from but it ain't gonna happen is it. These sorts of interviews are about spontanaity (sp?) and getting a quick reaction after the game, managers are flustered and wouldn't wait until the minder says all is good to go. I guess you would have had someone stopping the Spuds players soaking Arry at an interview last year (personally don't think the players went far enough, they should have drowned the fecker in the bath).

VectisSaint Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 it is all about standards. Would we allow the players to play in unwashed kit? No. The players wouldn't play in unwashed kit, so irrelevant. I understand your point but reality is that if this were to happen TV would just say screw you and tell everyone that NA did not wish to be interviewed which would look much worse. Really we do not want sanitised interviews, they are already complete cack, managers unwilling to say anything of any hat actually interest and reportrrs asking banal questions with no imagination. Sadly the scenario you are wishing for represents all that is wrong with modern day professional sport. A few gaffs and and cockups is what makes good viewing, not politically or commercially correct platitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
