It had to happen , sky have pulled the plug on fans being involved outside the ground on deadline day , after last years exploits by some fans they have decided to put reporters inside the grounds.
Quite frankly I think it's a good idea. The background of p*ssed up tw@ts or shouting adolescents means you can't hear the reporter repeating what they said 30 minutes earlier!
If the journos are inside, how is Redknapp going to drive to them?
I think it’s going to be like Top Gear or something. They’ll have him drive slowly through the building and park-up by the desk. I stayed in a hotel with a Mercedes in the foyer once — it’s doable.

If I know Sky (which I do) they will probably start charging fans to stand behind the camera and deadline day will become pay for view. Actually they will probably create a new channel which is not in the sports package and you will have to cough up more dosh to see 25 mins of adverts per hour. Believe in better
Exactly. That is genius. And don’t think that SKY won’t have thought of this. I saw a mini-digger going through someone’s terraced house once on some property programme and couldn’t stop laughing for ages. I’m a huge fan of mini-vehicles being driven indoors. Driving where you shouldn’t be driving is great - when we go camping, nothing makes me happier than watching some bloke drive his Audi estate slowly across a lush green hillside.
Was bound to happen. Something that started off ok got worse each time. As usual, it's the minority inbred dickheads that spoil it for everyone.
The whole thing is a steamy pile of horse sh1t , its a fantasy based creation that is now more important than the Fa cup 3rd round in the footballing calendar , it reminds me of the programme KYTV which was a p1ss take of sky back in the 80's
saying all that I will still be watching Fred Talbot style hoping for a sultry leg shot of Kate Abdo
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I didn't mean Transfer Deadline Day itself was OK, I too think it's a pile of dung, just that I didn't see a problem with having a few people in the background (a la Top of the Pops, Top Gear etc) but it just got cringeworthy with each one.
Sky need to pull their socks up and stop it from being the comedy show they've made it. £millions of pounds are trading hands and they joke around. It's not a joke, it's serious business and they need to treat it as such.

I actually think it should be made less serious.
A game of Bullseye between all the managers with Andros Townsend, Peter Crouch, some spotty phenom from Brazil and a campervan as the four prizes would have me watching.

no, juzzie, it is a joke. a farcical joke - like all of football these days. We can and should laugh at the ludicrous nature of deadline day. And QPR represent every single clown getting out of the mini.

Top level football is utterly ridiculous in almost every way, football has saturated the media and the fact that SKY have felt the need to have reporters camped outside stadiums manically reporting on the possibility of some bloke you’ve never heard of signing for Stoke or whoever, demonstrates just how stupid it is. They treat it like a General election night — “And here we are in Peterborough were early indications are that the Conservatives will hold onto the seat/And here we are in the car park at the KC, where we’re hearing that Zerko Bliskov is currently undergoing a medical” - like it actually really fu cking matters whether or not some Bulgarian RB signs for Hull.
For every Dimitar Berbatov, there’s a very helpful Hotel manager at the Hilton, Sofia. That’s what I have to keep telling myself. It’s important not to generalise.
In fact, everyone we dealt with at the Hilton, Sofia, was a credit to their country. And there was a really nice fella working in a restaurant/bar we went to as well. And none of the locals gave us any stick either, so, on balance, Bulgaria’s in credit with me at the moment.
