I realise there's no crowd, but would it kill the commentators to get excited over something?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Ings should have scored. Really poor defending.
Farke reminds me of Roberto Martinez. His teams play some pretty football, but can't hold a defensive shape to save their lives.
Yeah, it’s like they can’t anticipate what’s coming and have the effect ready.
This is an awful game.
Feels like a testimonial, it's not even up to a friendly intensity yet.

Turning into one of them matches isn’t it..
I think it's because they want to keep the visuals as close to live as possible. The obvious solution would be to delay the video by a second or two. For whatever reason, they're not doing that.
These are the types of games you'd usually be able to miss out on because your team would be playing at the same time during a 3 o clock kick off. With games spread out and more football it feels like a great deal (and it is really) but there will be a lot of dud games.
Don't really think it's any worse than Southampton Vs Norwich would have normally been though...
Given the quality on display, can you blame them
Would this have always been the televised game (eg before pandemic)
Or are these chosen post covid?

It's got that combination of early season rustiness but high stamina, together with late season tension but risk aversion. Makes for some weird games that you wouldn't see in a normal season.
Alan Smith is a dreary guy.
But when you have a huge other game you're always going to have the B team combo on for the first one.
All the games are being televised.
That’s like an opposite answer.
Whilst I would give that excuse for the Villa / Sheff gamre, in this half Southampton have twice had Ings in on goal, and you wouldn't have thought anything was going on based off the commentary.
Exactly, these were the type of games people moaned about even when there was a crowd and players were fully fit.
They’re well off the pace, it’s like a game of pinball at the minute.
That's a good point. Not sure why they would not do that.
A bit of rustiness is to be expected.
Both from Sky and the players.
In Sky’s case though you’d have thought they’d reach out to the Germans to understand how they’re doing their crowd sound effects.
The BL coverage is brilliant compared to what I’ve heard thus far. It really does affect the viewing experience.

Good half
Well that's 45 minutes (plus a bit) of my life I'll never get back.
Who's going to be commentating over the United game?
I think it's just on because all games post CV19 are televised.
Can we get another break? These games have all been complete dross so far.
The canned crowd music doesn't sound as yesterday
Ings scores.
Man like Ings
Lovely finish.
Great strike
Norwich are finished.
Norwich going down I reckon, really needed a win here
Ings with his 16th league goal of the season.
Another nice finish from Southampton. 0-2. Armstrong.
Sound engineer is a bit shit.
Bring in the Germans.
Norwich are done.
Crowd Audio slightly behind..
3 seconds between the goal and the cheer.
Someone stick a fork in Norwich.
