Ozwin Posted 23 December 2019 Posted 23 December 2019 A cause for concern or something we should accept is going to creep in more and more at time goes on?
Leicester_Loyal Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 Putting on an act for the camera at football? Embarrassing. I’m assuming this is about The True Fox
Osavo Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 Hideous stuff, another trend in the modern game which we could definitely do without. The True Fox is an embarrassment tbqh. No problem with people sharing their opinions before or after games, but filming yourself bouncing about pretending to create 'limbs' and 'scenes' is just sad. Actually made me feel slightly better about losing on Saturday just to see the Man City fans wind him up on his video
ozleicester Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 people obsessing about people vlogging at football is equally stupid. Enjoy the game how you want enjoy the game...let others do the same
Bayfox Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 If we are talking about the true fox, I guess you could argue he's not hurting anyone. However i know there's stuff that's mentioned mental health elsewhere on here. I do fear for him, he's either on the biggest wind up ever, in which case I find that little worrying, or he lives in some alternate reality where the younger generation think this is normal behaviour, again a little worrying. Also how he hasn't had a kicking from someone, I don't know, is he knocking round with the rock, vin diesel etc, and if so, again are these people taking advantage and making him act the fool, as that's mental abuse as well. I do worry at somepoint someone, including some of our own, may turn and do him physical harm, because football is an emotionally charged place with plenty of people with a few beers in them and it could end badly for him. I guess in the main he's doing very little harm, other than winding a load up on social media and I guess it's personal opinion on 1 if you think that's a good thing and 2 if you are bothered by what others think. I will say I fall into the camp of thinking its odd behaviour. I hope someone is in a position to maybe sit him down and have a chat with him. Or hopefully he grows out of it a little. I mean after all. He's missing out really. This is some of the best times in 135 years of history and he's acting up to the camera for some likes online. Shame.
Suzie the Fox Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 No objections from me, it is what it is.. times change and if people get a buzz from it, then why not as its not hurting anyone. No idea who the true fox is, maybe someone can enlighten me?

StanSP Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 He's a twat. Seen a few comments about not being surprised if he gets targeted at some games when he oversteps the mark or is just too annoying for someone or some group of fans. It's all some kind of vanity project though isn't it and I don't really get it? 'look at me while I watch a football match. Look at MY reactions. Look at MY feelings while this happens or that happens'. Nah, not for me. The less of these kinds the better.
twoleftfeet Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 he is a knob but if you don't like his content don't click on it. I think social media is changing the face of journalism around football and as you see in the main stream media attacks on channels such as AFTV they established press don't like fans by passing them. The scenes at Everton against AFTV are understandable but to think that Arsenal are crap because of AFTV rather than they are reacting to the events they are witnessing is naïve. The will be channels come and go some you will like some you wont over exaggeration of emotions seems to be a feature at this moment in time on social media.
LinekersLugs Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 First time I have seen this Fella above (is he a fella ?) And I’m absolutely bamboozled feck me if Hitler Jnr arrived On these shores with the 4th Reicht he would move from Dover to london and onto fort William in 24hrs I fear for this great nation, I Really do
goose2010 Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 i dunno if i would be a fan if was stood next to me at any game...can imagine it gets very annoying very quickly. Maybe we will start seeing 'safe vlogging areas' in stadiums in the future.....
Guest Cujek Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 There is a massive problem these days at events with people videoing everythign. people seem more interested in pointing a camera at things, rather than watching the bloody event. the worst two places i seen it recently where at Disneyland paris at the fireworks, like 1 in 3 people were watching it through their phones, same as at the arena in birmingham at a Kiss concert. im not sure you get the same enjoyment if all you are worried about is filming stuff. i find it very weird to be honest. but when people bloody vlog their shopping trips and cooking their dinner, i guess its expected to creep into football, especially with the younger ones. at least selfie sticks arent really a thing anymore.

Will never understand this argument, you realise that you don’t have to watch it through your phone while you’re filming right? A lot of people think it’s cool to have this to either keep for years or show people that have missed out. Only weird thing is how angry people get over it 🤷🏼♂️
Fox92 Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 I don't get it but it doesn't really bother me. Only time it will bother me, probably, is if he's leaning over me to wind opposition fans up. He stood near me at Burton then thankfully quickly moved on.

The Syrup Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 That lad should ease off the caffeine or speed before making a video. Watching that video gave me a headache after a few seconds

It's manufactured reactions with camera focused entierly on him. It's all self absorbed with one goal. Self promotion, more views and all that lovely YouTube monies. The camera is off and down by the side until something exciting happens. He doesn't actually care about how we do. Win or lose, so long as he has an extreme reaction to keep his audience happy he's fine. People might say that's all fine but search for these and there are at least three different people now doing this at home and away games. Also, feel for those who get caught behind the vlogger and spend the entire game featured in the background of the video, all for just having got a ticket behind said vlogger. As a sidenote, he nearly got chucked out at Newcastle in the cup, had to go off and beg to the steward because they thought he was filming the game. "I'm allowed to film, I'm allowed to film" he protested. Unfortunately the steward let him back in.

Again...you can watch the thing live and film at the same time. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

The two things are not mutually exclusive. not from what i have seen. people either hold their phones way up in the air and hope for the best, which seems pointless as its gonna look crap. or watch through a screen, which does detach you from what you are there to watch. there are of course professional vloggers who have gimble mounted go pro's or what ever, but what i am talking about is average Joe and their crappy iphone shoved in the air. unless you are interesting (most people are not), just watch the bloody match or concert, no one wants to watch your shitty video, or listen to your annoying whiney voice.
Stuntman_Mike Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 I can't stand it. I know times change and fans change but my love for football was built on everything this isn't.

It's occurred to me in the past couple of weeks that clubs will get tough on this (re: filming) as it's something they can exclusively cover themselves. Deny access within the boundary of the ground and have their own 'fan channel'. Control it rather than let it go unedited. When I go football, my immediate reaction to important parts of the game is to share it with friends and family. Now I am one of the most introverted people going (or certainly was). I wonder do vloggers actually have friends? Do they have someone to share the moment with?
Guest Manini Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 I think every club has somebody doing this now. I saw something the other day that said YouTube Is now a viable and recognised career option for a lot of kids - I know film making and video editing has been for ages, but I’m talking strictly for YouTube here. It’s just a sign of the times, it baffles me but hey if that’s what they want to do, go for it - I imagine they’ll still pay their tax and contribute to the economy if they’re making enough coin from it. I wonder how long it will be until a Uni somewhere designs a course called “YouTube studies” or suchlike. Not the same article but the same sort of thing - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna920581

Arsenal Fan TV added to the Wenger out and have continued this through to a negativity about their squad. It's a factor, regardless of how small. A lot of the vlogs are attached to big media corporations - that's easy to hide. Back in the day we had fanzines but they were more of a take it or leave it.
Strokes Posted 24 December 2019 Posted 24 December 2019 It’s not really to my taste but if he has 10k subscribers, it must be to some. This would die a death without an audience.
