    As an outsider.

    The protestors can only blame themselves here, you all know stations need to comply to certain rules, chant something else that they can actually broadcast.

    I did work experience at Sky in 2002, they had me say “Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea” into a microphone and now I’m in a protracted legal battle to get the royalties I’m due for every televised game at Stamford Bridge over the last 20 years.

    I don’t have a dog in this fight but Everton getting 10 points deducted with Man City going basically years upon years unpunished makes me think of the Jerry Tarkanian quote:

    “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky. they’re going to give Cleveland State another year of probation”

    No one at the top ever gets held accountable.

    Sky Sports will take steps to prevent offensive language from a planned protest by Everton fans being clearly audible during the live TV match against Manchester United on Sunday. To comply with Ofcom’s rules, the broadcaster will even consider using pre-recorded crowd noise if required.

    Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

    The broadcast regulator Ofcom’s regulations state that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.

    Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue and insiders said it takes its responsibility to protect its viewers seriously and will look to mitigate any offensive language being heard on air. Any action by the broadcaster would be to ensure it is following Ofcom’s regulations rather than to take a position on a protest.

    You’ll still hear it. Theres always that delay before it kicks in and somehow it makes the chants even more noticeable
