OttawaSaint Posted 7 August, 2019 Share Posted 7 August, 2019 An apology and explanation for my disappearance midway through last season. https://owenthesaintsblog.wordpress.com/2019/08/07/what-happened-to-owen-the-saints/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That is really sad. I enjoyed the vlogs and your facial expressions. I don't know why folk can't just think/say "hey, that's not my cup of tea, I won't be watching that, but fair play to anyone who does" instead of going on the offensive and abusing the vlogger. Congrats on the degree. Have a great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint97 Posted 7 August, 2019 Share Posted 7 August, 2019 The problem with Vlogs is you're filming other people's faces without their permission too, it's not really a surprise people don't like them. Maybe set up a separate area away from other fans for people that want to do it and then they'd get less grief. completely agree. I wouldn't want to be filmed for 90 minutes watching my football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 7 August, 2019 Share Posted 7 August, 2019 I'm not sure what the laws are in the UK but in Canada you don't need permission if you are filming in a public space and the subject(s) have no real expectation of privacy. You don't need permission here either, but if you don't have it and do it then you have to expect some abuse as not everyone wants their face plastered on social media. And before people say about there already being cameras in the ground, yes there are but the TV don't tend to broadcast just the crowd every week so the chances of you being on are relatively slim (unless you stand behind a goal).

OwenTheSaints Posted 8 August, 2019 Author Share Posted 8 August, 2019 Thank you for your support Always_SFC and OttawaSaint, really appreciate that. I would have completely respected any requests made by people had they have made any. As it turned out, never once did I face issues at a match though, people often joined in. Instead the issues were all online, even if they made me feel I was going to face issues at matches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 17 September, 2019 Share Posted 17 September, 2019 I’m personally not a fan of this and I cannot understand why others would get enjoyment out of watching a random bloke pulling stupid faces for 20 minutes (or however long it lasts). If you weee capturing the post/pre match fan reactions then fair enough, but I just don’t get the point in this.... maybe just me. Interesting point around the use of others images etc. I’d be interested to know if there are any steps you take to prevent annoying others around you and getting their consent for using their face online? I’d rather we didn’t have this nonsense at st marys, but I suppose that’s the way the world is going (interesting to see the skate banned a lad who was doing this at their place...) and as long as you’re not harming anyone (which unless you can guarantee you will not capture anyone’s image without their consent, you potentially are), then crack on.

So with saints average attendance of around 31,000 that means that only 12.9% of our average attendance have viewed it. You're also assuming everyone liked it, I would suggest this is not the case at all. So stats DO NOT suggest that people enjoy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Troy Posted 17 September, 2019 Share Posted 17 September, 2019 about 95% of responses to the thumbs up thing are likes - that is a suggestion it is well received. Not all those may have watched it / peolpe that didnt like it may not want to thumbs down it (i did neither) etc so of course not a complete reflection but could reasonably be considered the best reflection of how it is received. Not my cup of tea at all but thought id watch it - flicked through it a little but have to say i was pleasantly surprised. Not suggesting im going to watch every bit of every one but can see why people enjoy it. Interestingly you use stats about the average attendance but i think it has more appeal to people that dont go regularly and miss the buzz of the whole day. For highlights ill stick to proper telly but overall there is clearly a place for it (legalities pending). One thing that gets me about modern society is there is a general lack of passion - people dont grab things and really go for it - this is what he has done, time and effort and a good product that some people enjoy - even if they dont - so what - well done for getting it all put together. Its very easy to put someone off doing something by bullying them in to believing their passion has no value because other people dont love it as much as the individual.
