[Mike]

Agree. What the f*** is the point of rabbiting on to people in the middle of the match, when supporters are supposed to be cheering on the team and making noise? Whatever about the "exercises", yesterday's announcement was ridiculously badly timed.

[Mike]

its a f***ing nonsense. i swear it was that unexpected you could argue that it put sammi off...right in the middle of them attacking.

no other club in the country seems to need to do it, they all use radios, walkie talkies, discreetly etc.

wants f***ing off. operation anfield exercise was bad enough but thank you for not smoking while the game is in full flow??? f*** right off.

[Bailo]

Mentioned this in the match thread. Think it's getting worryingly near to Manc-esque "we couldn't see each other in our grey kits" excuses for the goal, but still. No-ones listening during the match.

 

And why does everyone need to be thanked every week?

[johngibo YPC]

Did well to carry on though

Half expected Kev to go 'we would like to thank you fo...OH FOR f***S SAKE'

[Mike]

just do it at half time if you have to do it at all. other wise, do it discretely.

[cymrococh]

do it discretely.

just sidle up to people while they're queuing for the bogs?

hehehe

 

meant the operation anfield exercise thing. do it via 2 way radio. we don't need to hear it.

I agree. It seemed to make us switch off. Ridiculous.

 

You don't hear this crap at other grounds.

[Billy Dane]

When we move to the new ground we should ban all stupid tannoy announcements during the game, all completely pointless.

 

If we had a real emergency inside Anfield, I'm not sure how announcing "execute operation anfield" over the tannoys would help keep everyone calm anyway. As already been said this should be done via walkie talkies etc.

[_00_deathscar]

Its a ridiculous, yet possible (?) excuse.

 

Either way, why couldn't it wait till half time...?

[Guest Snorky]

Operation Anfield can be called at any time, as soon as we are given the word we have to act. Even if there is a penalty the bing bongs will go off.

 

As for doing that announcement at half time, we didn't want to spoil the half time thing with Mrs Paisley.

 

I've had a word for future stuff, but haven't a clue if the ideas will be adopted or not.

 

I did swear but managed to get the mic turned off beforehand. The amount of abusive texts I got afterwards was good, and then the stick I got off friends and even people who didn't even know me was also good, certainly bucked up my evening I can tell you.

[Mike]

but why cant operation anfield be done discretely as suggested kev? no one else does it like that.

[jon_hall]

You didn't reply though yer knob.

[Guest RedLegend]

I thought it must have been pre-recorded when you didn't go FFS!!! in the middle of it. A true professional.

 

Seems like there is more tannoy announcements at Anfield though than at any other ground.

[Cam]

Kev did answer but did so discreetly via a 2-way. He's practising, don't knock it.

 

Other than *possibly* Operation Anfield Exercise ALL announcements should be held off until halftime. Especially the "would Mr Smith make himself known to a steward" ones. And DJ George should go back to ignoring the 'time added on' - if you miss it then tough, it adds to the excitement.

 

It'll be "Remember your halftime hotdog, just £2.70!" next and then random adverts for Adidas etc within 3 years.

[Cam]

Also, I want a chant of "f*** off, Snorky" going up during the next one

[_00_deathscar]

Ah, so that was you then Kev!

 

DON'T SHOUT INTO THE MICROPHONE MATE, IT'S A BLEEDING MICROPHONE! WE CAN HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR 8000 MILES AWAY HERE IN HK!)

[surf]

get snorky as pissed as he is when he posts on here sometimes, then make him do the announcements

[The Mighty Kemlyn]

I'd like an announcement to let me know how many fire extinguishers we have in our stands.

 

Also I'd like to be told how many plasters are in the first aid boxes.

 

I'd also like a thank you for not setting off rockets in the ground, farting towards the pitch (in case it spoils the televised view) and leaving bogie's under my seat.

 

Why not a thank you for not throwing bog rolls onto the pitch? Or spitting chewing gum on the floor?

 

Better still why not fook off all these stupid announcements in the first place. What's the point other than to boost somebody's ego.

 

Standby Operation Anfield Exercise? Why do we need to hear it, How are we supposed to react? We can't 'Standby' anything as we've been told to sit. Cant stewards do there job via verbal communications.

 

Execute Operation Anfield Exercise? What's the difference between standby and execute? so bloody futile it does'nt warrant an announcement.

 

All clear Operation Anfield Exercise? Stating the obvious aren't we cause if it wasn't all the little urchins outside would be running amok getting into the ground. Maybe it means that the required number of sticking plasters are in the box after all.

 

Then we have a Pat ourselves on the back Look how good we are announcement about why we made the announcements in the first place!

 

What's the point?

 

Tell me One other ground that does this once a year let alone the 3 times we have to put up with it.

 

Now to cap it all off we have to suffer another stupid announcement about not smoking in the bogs.

I've been going to Anfield for near on 50 years and in all that time i've never smoked in the bogs and i've never heard anything so pathetic over the tannoy while the match is still in progress.

 

What next? Maybe a thank you for turning up or An announcement to tell us that Jester hats are on special offer in Liverworld so don't forget to get yours on the way out!

The whole operation is to test emergency procedures at the ground. Every ground has the same operation and every ground uses the tannoy. The tannoy is quite simply the easiest form of communication. It has to be done under the Ground Safety Certificate. Stand by means ...........stand by........execute means................execute.

 

As for the smoking one, the club are under pressure from the council to sort this out. Everton had 7 ejections at their last home game and I believe any season tickets were confiscated.

 

So obviously the announcement was to blame for the first goal....................never spoke for the second one though, so who is that down to ?

[fabfive]

Maybe if those inside Anfield were singing instead of it being a library

 

Those announcements wouldn't bother people...

[Guest Snorky]

no they don't kev.

 

It really amazes me how you can be in so many grounds at the same

it pretty easy to find out. you don't have friends or access to anyone who supports 'other' teams? shock horror!

no one does it like we do it. go on another fans website and ask them if you don't believe me...they all take the piss out of us for it.
