Cascadia Saint Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 I thought it was class. Some great work done shooting and putting that together. Minimum cringe, maximum motivation. Love the poster version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted 15 August, 2014 Share Posted 15 August, 2014 Me and my son thought it was great. Well done and I thought the production values were quite high which shows the media team are really into what they are doing... that and a job load of high-end Veho gear probably means its Christmas day in the SFC media office atm. Keep up the good work chaps! Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see much there that would be in dispute but I'm sure the cynic in you could enlighten us. It's media-speak for the journey we've been on over the last 128 years. I like it.

Bordeaux Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 You have GOT to be KIDDING. This is the kind of unmitigated sh|t put out by 'motivational' 'consultants' (who probably got paid in the thousands per hour - check it out) to appeal to lowest common denominator plebian sentiments, swallowed whole by uneducated ***ts easily impressed by vacuous meaning-free words (and who will therefore probably vote Labour in 2015 even though they'll screw themselves along with the country by doing it), and all to a toe-curling, clattering, tinkling, bass-free 'music' track played on an eighties synthesizer by an eight-year old who's learned three chords in a pentatonic scale, which to anyone who knows feck all about music but just "feels" that E, C and D arpeggios played in a loop with a bit of reverb sounds 'inspirational'.

It's not terrible by any means, and although yes, you can see the consultants fingerprints all over it, especially when it comes to hitting the key 'notes' and driving home the message, it's at least a production that is unlikely to inspire much mirth in other clubs fan bases. You contradict yourself with your description of the target demographic to who you feel it will appeal , then those you think will mock it, perhaps a little to keen to show your knowledge of the process (actually quite well known, no need to 'Check it out'). A good example of widespread acceptance of such would be the open letter by Lallana. Nearly every fan outside of Southampton thought it was a classy move.

Bordeaux Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 All that and you still ****ed up Ralph's name... Love these pseudo-intellectuals. His name is Krüger, with an umlaut. When umlauts are not available on your keyboard you have the choice of replacing the ü with "ue" or "u" — both are acceptable, and generally depend on the in-house style sheet of a publisher. The Frankfürter Algemeine Zeitung style sheet recommends "ue." The Chicago Manual of Style (which I use for work) recommends "u," because in English we don't distinguish between the "ü" and "u" sounds made in German. The ü is made by pursing your lips as if to whistle, and saying the "ee" sound behind your lips (try it!), the "u" is more like the sound we make when we say "You." I have a French keyboard, so I can make a "ü" by tapping the umlaut before the u, but I obeyed acceptable rules for speed because I was writing in a gigantic strop. Anyway you look at it, I didn't get his name wrong. Nothing pseudo about me pal, and even if spelling were the issue here (it's not, this dreadful video is) don't go there again, cos I'll tear you a new one.
