The apologies dont bother me. A small price to pay for hearing the swearing. They will never stop it and nor should they. Ever.Why do the commentators bother with the apology when no-one does anything about it?
If the swearing is a problem then why can't the referees issue a yellow card.
Put the responsibility on the players rather than the TV companies.
*******.
But why apologise.The apologies dont bother me. A small price to pay for hearing the swearing. They will never stop it and nor should they. Ever.
MerdeWas watching Lyon V PSG on bt sport and they apologised in case you heard some swearing that was in french.
Took me back to school and looking up swear words in the french dictionary.
I always do a little fist pump when that warning starts a program " yes, get in"We watched ’The Great’ (brilliant btw) and before one episode it said “Warnings of extremely strong language, extreme violence, nudity and sexual activity from the very start”. I said to Mrs Flash ‘sounds great!!’
Reminds me of being a teenage lad watching Channel 4 and the "red triangle" films they used to show .. sit watching a boring film just waiting for the red triangle to appear in the corner .. 30 seconds now .. and "Boobies and other stuff!!!" .. trying to make .. the most .. of the minute or so the red triangle was on screen ....We watched ’The Great’ (brilliant btw) and before one episode it said “Warnings of extremely strong language, extreme violence, nudity and sexual activity from the very start”.

They can issue yellow cards, and probably should, but don't, or the first one is classed as a warning, a bit like how you get away with a hard early tackle, but the second gets booked.If the swearing is a problem then why can't the referees issue a yellow card.

It still wouldn't stop it though, although may reduce it by 50%, and you would still end up having the "box ticking" apology, it's probably a condition of them being able to do the live broadcast.
The sport does need stronger refs though, and tougher enforcement, there should never be a situation where a protesting player is shouting or swearing at a ref or getting within 2m of them, so the ref has to walk backwards to get away from the protests.
The rules need to be implemented and the FA need to back up the refs. It should be like Rugby or Hockey, zero backchat and just get on with it, makes for a much more flowing game.
Exactly, something comes in as a fad, then gets no backup, then disappears. Same with keepers time-wasting, people kicking the ball away, standing in front of the ball so people can't take a quick free-kick etc. Do any of that in Rugby, Hockey or NFL and you're getting strongly penalised and likely sent to the sideline. It just makes the game quicker and better to watch.Well of course there used to be the rule of moving the free kick forward 10 yards if players complain. What happened to that? I don't think there's any other sport like it for lack of respect towards officials, the whole system needs sorting out top to bottom.
No swearing at the referee, no touching the referee. It's not rocket science is it? Should be drilled into players as kids, just like other sports. Complete respect towards officials should be rigourously enforced. And on the flip side if big mistakes are made by the officials this should be acknowledged publicly and officially and an explanation of what is being done to reduce the chance of it happening again - back to ref school, demoted or whatever.
I always laugh when ex pros or managers say you can't stop players swearing at refs in the heat of the moment or whatever. I'd bet anything a few reds issued at the start of the season and they'd suddenly find they had more self control than they thought.
nudity and sexual activity
