Perhaps. I don't see why that's the TV Crew's fault, though. If you could see the setup in that place for a match, you'd understand. There just isn't the time to be faffing about with mics so that they're away from the away fans. And far too much cabling involved. If a mic goes down, do you think the sound manager wants to be trawling over and up to the RDS, or does he want the mic to be infront of him up in the gantry to be easily fixed?

Aye, or maybe if Aberdeen had put the fucking gantry in the right place, you'd get a better sound. This isn't the Beebs or Setantas fault at all

Wow wow wow. As a cameraman who films football myself, i can categorically say that the BBC and Setanta have much better and pressing matters to attend to on match day than running cable or setting up wireless mics all the way from the gantry to the RDS. The gantry is in the south stand, so that's where the mics have got to be

Agree with everything said here. The Bavarians treated us so well when we were over there. I had it in my head that the germans were quiet and unsociable, but my god was i wrong. Absolutely stunning place, and would go back in an instant. A week I will never forget. Thanks Aberdeen, and most of all thanks Munich for being such great hosts

Guys, it's on pro7 (pro Sieben) so if you phone ahead and ask before you go out, you'll be fine. You could also head to B&Q, buy a sat scanner for a couple of quid, attatch it to your own Sky dish and move it to 19e to get the channel at home, but that's maybe pushing it.... ....But it IS possible

17.00 - 19.00 Isn't right, that's for sure. Kick off is 17.45 our time

Point well made TO say there isn't much difference between our current side and our 83 side is hilarious!

It's depressing, isn't it. We had some team back then. Remarkable, really. But to be honest, we should just be glad that we actually have had a team like that... Something which many teams these days can never lay claim to.

Some awesome photos on there Just wish i was old enough to have lived during that

Can't wait also. Will be the trip of a lifetime for me, personally. Football is only 90mins. Still leaves 4 days to have fun Also, this should be posted again:

i've never seen aberdeen fans react this way to these shitty stories before. Surely a sign that most are just plain fed up of what's going on. And who can blame us?

It is 100% true

This. Even if it's in jest, which i don't think it is, it's highly inappropriate

I think while they're playing give them support. We need EVERYONE this saturday. Some are endorsing singing songs about Clark 'dying' over on AFC-Chat which is fucking abysmal, to be honest. Absolutely horrid

There is a cyber space called The Hat, Which houses Oddjob and Nic-Nac. They asked members to pay Five pounds for their stay To fund their addiction of crack

A metaphor for their "new" £150/month uber-server

Unreal, eh! Place is a joke! AFC-Chat, now....

No Gothenberg announcements?

AFC have absolutely no say whatsoever where the mics are to be placed, unfortunately. They are placed around the field of play and up in the gantry for crowd noise, so at an OF match they will be pointing at the OF fans so they are generally the only people you'll hear. Despite this, the atmosphere at the rangers game was rank anyway so it wouldn't have picked up much if it was pointed at the RDS. Oh, and many of the mics are boom mikes; they're connected via cable to a hub. Just isn't viable to have them stretched all the way up to the RDS Upper so people on the telly can hear some fans sing. Much easier and simpler to have them placed where the cameras and commentry team are, which is in the South Stand gantry. But no, AFC have no say where the mics go

Those averages are terrible too, though! There's absolutely no improvement.

Ok, thanks for that
