It's difficult to explain to non-physicists, but the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, and the sound gets sort of chogged up a bit in the wires.

If you have eyes you can see who has the ball, what he's doing with it, who's making runs and who isn't, I don't get it at all. |

Must be something to do with premier league rights as all live games are broadcast with around a 20 second delay.

This happens in other sports as well. I've been at televised Somerset Cricket matches in the past, usually in cup games, where this effect can be ridiculous. If you're at the bar in the members pavilion watching the TV screen, the live broadcast can show a wicket going down, by which time in reality the dismissed batsman has already reached the pavilion steps. Weird.

It's in case a streaker runs on the pitch. This gives them time to edit out the commentators reaction to the offending genitalia.

It's definitely one of these:
A) Nigel Johnson and the lads are told to wait 10 seconds before commenting on anything to do with Stoke just in case any breaking news on Crewe comes in that they'd need to interrupt to.
B) The club have spent millions putting a radio delay guard around the ground just in case Radio Stoke comment on things before they happen and ruin it for the people watching.
C) Radio Stoke's equipment is haunted by the ghosts of people that have died in radio related accidents, the delay that you hear is the spirits distorting the signal. Some people believe that anybody listening in to these warped transmissions can be possessed by the spirits.
D) The time it takes for the signal from the commentary team to go to where it needs to go to get to your listening device is slower than the time it takes the light from the pitch to reach your eyes.
Probably the ghost one.

Tony scholes knows about this issue, unfortunately he can't multi task so has decided to get the corner built first, the sound delay on your radio is next on his list.

Nigel needs to be retired. It isn't enough to love SCFC as much as he does to be a match pundit or commentator. There is never a critique and nor is there a fluid representation of the match.
Further, I was cringing on the way to match last night, hearing him bumble on trying to justify why he had splurted out about the similarities to The Golden One.
Saido looks fuck all like him and the only parallels, visually, that could be drawn are that they are both short and black.

They were summed up for me last night when they couldn't even be bothered to stay on air until half 10,for a local radio station it's pathetic

Glad someone else agrees, I've been saying it for years and it's not just Nigel there's John Motson as well. |
