I often turn the commentary off when watching football and usually enjoy it more, after all I don't need any commentary when I'm watching the damned thing myself. However, what do I miss? ...the crowd atmosphere! Wouldn't it just be perfect for some of us miserable old buggers whereby the television companies allow the option of watching the game with just the sound of the crowd? Bliss!

Love it!
I find more and more I can’t listen to radio Wales but for the most part talkshite/5 live are ok. In terms of tv I know they’ve done alternate commentary teams so something like that with crowd noise only would definately be possible

Do you think it isn't possible due to the bad language in songs from the crowd!?

i think they can tend to turn down the background noise now when theres bad language (more noticeable in the darts actually, happens quite a bit) so its something they probably keep an eye on anyway i think

Its good, although takes a bit of getting used too. The good thing is that you make up your own opinions more without being swayed with what the commentators/pundits are saying about the game.
Bit like being at the game in the stadium to be fair.
