Now reading it causally it sparked an idea. Must be cool to be in that control room, all those screens showing matches and situations. I came to think of computergaming, the top of the line setups there, will have 3 screens to play a single game.
And so the idea; that you could actually watch the one game on 2 or more screens. The big middle screen, showing you the game as we are used to. But other cameras covering the game, watching Allardyce pick his nose. See Di Canio lose it and start that fight with his sub.
Fans singing, linesman running up and down. Drawing you closer into the game.
Mimicking the control room basically.
And thinking about this, in computergaming, it's for the few who can afford both 3 equal screens, and the hardware to run it.
But in television, it would be much easier attainable. Most of us have our big tv, most of us also have a secondary screen. And if we were paying Sky customers for example, we could have both running different shots of the same game.
The extravagant luxury, would be to setup the screens side by side. For those who could afford such a setup, needn't be the same big screen.
And for bars. Think of a sportsbar having a big 50" plasma, and then aside it 2 32" smaller tvs showing the secondary pictures. In the USA they like to do interviews pitchside during the game. I saw them lose a goal that way the other day as their national team scored as they were interviewing.
But had they run the interview on a secondary screen, it would have been a great moment instead of a messup.
So in this day where they are trying to implement technology to decide if the ball is over the line or not. Why not look to what PC users are already doing with technology, and what the control room is doing, and realise that viewers would think this would be very cool.
As it turns out, Malaysian tabloid The Star is behind all the shenanigans after all. Apparantly they are making a tv series, with the ambition to out Eastenders and Being Liverpool, and An Idiot Abroad, all in one go.
It's a reality show where a little strange man does his best to piss of as many people as possible all in one go.
It will be called: Pissing of the Cardiffians. Read all about it in todays news.
Synopsis: Well it's pretty clear, our manager cuts right through. He is selfish and goaldriven. This might be what gave him success as a player, although we can never really be sure about that.
He doesn't do as people have been accustomed to. That is, the masses rise slowly a disdain, and then let it grow into tsunami, until the management is forced to do what the tsunami tells it to.
This is a problem of course, for all the would be leaders always trying to summon the tsunami. With shit-talk and disdain. Their kingdom is that of bad smelling pollute. Suddenly it is brushed away, and their mark on the world is gone.
Our Gaffer, has on the strategic level been hard. We saw this first with Graham. He was put on the bench, and he wasn't given any free chances, seeing as he didn't put it in from the start.
And we saw it again tonight, playing the Capital One Cup. The blemish of Anfield the week before was not without consequence. Our gaffer put both central defenders on the bench, and used Ki instead.
So this is something which we must learn about Laudrup, even accept. He cuts right through. And he acts, long before the tsunami has risen. He might create waves, he might become scandalous even.
But it's his team. He's the manager.
And the qualities that made him a worldclass player. They are still there. The analytical aspect of the game, the way he is uncompromising and makes the cut.
This is not about running around the field in training , passing dribles and getting the respect of Ashley Williams or anyone who aspire to Williams spot. Or any other player for that matter.
No, is it?
It looks as if, he is a hard gaffer, at the end of the day.
Swansea Loves Laudrup: Welsh on the move to London
33.000 excited and partying Swansea fans are getting ready to support Laudrup and his boys in the Capital One Cup Final at Wembley.
-Will the last to leave Swansea please remember to turn of the lights.
The joking statement says it all. The day today is a big one for the city of Swansea. Very big. When Michael Laudrup at 17:00 leads his players unto the pitch at legendary Wembley, it is at the same time Swanseas first time to participate in the final of one of the big British Cups. And it can be felt. The whole citys attention is for one day placed in London. And the same is a good deal of the 240.000 inhabitants in Wales next largest city.
Sunday morning at 9 o clock danish time an enormous convoy took of from the parking lot outside Swanseas home ground, the Liberty stadium. Many hundreds of busses containing the majority of the 33.000 Swansea fans, who bought tickets to support Laudrup and company in the battle for the first major trophy in history.
From 13:30 and onwards all these gleefull Welsh are partying in the area around the Wembley. All the while Laudrup is conducting his final tactical meeting, before he with his squad leave the London hotel, where they have stayed since yesterday afternoon. Towards the English national scene.
Hopefully Laudrup has sharpened his pen. With a victory today over underdog Bradford City, he will take part in history.
The Annis dude was a central figure it seems. It also tells how the Cardiff City owner was rubbing backs with this Cardiff crew.
Well I got to say that I understand your resentment against that club a lot better. I kinda lost any goodwill towards them, and would really rather not have them play Swansea in the PL.
Derbies are good and big clubs have big derbies, but the fact that these persona are still central to that club is a disgrace.
Against Bradford. Ye ole Swansea fans can't sit, years from now, and tell the tale of how they beat Liverpool on Anfield, and Chelsea home and away. And then lost the final to a fourth division team at Wembley. Nope, can't afford to lose now, there's much at stake.
