Recording from 09:31 Playing time; italics all not spoken, supplementaryspoken by Arne Malsch but even in such games the Robin Park complex is not sold out, last year the average attendance was 18000 and this year it has gone down a bit. The proximity to Manchester United and Manchester City, the geographical proximity, could be…
What is the saying? True prophets wait for events to unfold. That is exactly what our dearly beloved reporters do in practically every game. Not only as far as the outcome of the game is concerned, but also the outcome of a single action. Truthfulness? Objectivity? Judgement? All nonsense, not asked. Insofar as an action…
This chapter is in itself appropriate for the chapter “The Sky Conference”, because this circumstance is particularly conspicuous there. However, the overall topic here is the match action that is also forgotten, overlooked, ignored in live matches and summaries. This is neither to be confused with generalities nor with platitudes, even if these are just…
In this chapter we will take a closer look at how Sky, which has acquired the rights for the First and Second Bundesliga for years to come – for a huge amount of money – uses these rights and how it could use them alternatively and better. Special focus here: the live reports. These are…
An action is judged to be foul or non-foul. Comment: “Clear foul play here”, spontaneous. Then the repetition. The confirmation follows: “Here we see it quite clearly: there he holds him.” And what about the opinion of the spectators? It’s more important to be clever than to create suspense. Basically, you can ask or think…
Practice Reporting Season 2010/2011 Since a lot of things and statements have always been made in very general terms, so that the reader is only ever asked where and when he heard these phrases, how these phrases are used or whether there is anything at all congruent with his own experience, a few concrete, overheard…
Practice Reporting Season 2010/2011 Since many things and statements were only ever made in very general terms, so that the reader is only ever asked where and when he heard these phrases, how these phrases are used or whether there is anything at all congruent with his own experience, a few concrete, overheard comments, assessments…
This is an almost philosophical chapter. If you look not only at the history of mankind but also at evolution as a whole, you will see that it was precisely this “judging by results” that brought evolution forward. Two Neanderthals went into a cave, a bear caught one of them. One action, one result, one…
How does a successful action work? This chapter is specifically aimed at the fact – which is already indicated elsewhere – that it is actually impossible to produce such an action. The speakers constantly demand – virtually before, during or after every failed attack – how one should do what and what is wrong with…
Much as one may regret it, it seems assured: The entire reporting is nothing more than a string of empty phrases. They refer to the intermediate score or the final result. If no goal is scored for 40 attacks, then “there are no ideas”, then “the last pass is not received”, then “there is no…
