ciggiesnbeer Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Not sure if this topic has been tried before but AVTV is a pretty big deal for many of us overseas.So to make this topical, Lambert is the latest person who looks like he is going to smack Jack Woodward.In todays post match briefing Woodward decides to start talking about the weather just after talking about the army, Lambert looks at him like he is a complete idiot, then smiles in the same way a cat smiles before killing a mouse, then just changes the subject back to the game.I swear he is just going to smack Woodward soon.(sorry if this is OT mods, please lock if it is).

theboyangel Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think it's plainly obvious that PL does not suffer fools gladly and JW is seen very much as a fool in his eyes. I thought PL was pretty harsh on JW during the End of Season Awards too - he gave him threaders during his speach! JW appears to be a very nice guy, but a buffoon whilst doing his job. His commentary style and questioning are cringeworthy too often and I dread to think what players/new signings think when he interviews them. I think he tries his best and tries to make it 'entertaining' for everyone - let's face it, over the last few seasons there's been little to smile about! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 It is true. I dont mind JW's mindless optimism, in fact I like that. What annoys the crap out of me is he gets access to the players and Lambert WEEKLY. Think about what he could ask them? "Paul I noticed to you had Westwood dropping a little deeper than normal today, why was that?" , "Andreas, you were playing more centrally today, how does that alter your game?" They are just made up questions but Woodward almost always just asks some cringeworthy idiocy instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 When I had free avtv with my season ticket I didn't use avtv cus of this idiot, his comms is awful, its like his trying to imitate alan partridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Crap video editing, an annoying reporter/commentator, relatively crap content. I'd be more interested if they offered more games, even if it was just a chance for us to see/follow the youngsters. Also, does anybody know if we outsource those who put it together? Or do we actually hire the AVTV team in house? Edited July 13, 2013 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Maybe Lambert will make him train with the reserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 imo AVTV needs changes, new personnel, new features, new ideas especially.. just seems very out of date. That said there really hasn't been that much happening at the club in terms of optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post samjp26 Posted July 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Genuinely think I'm going to put a proposal forward to the club regarding changes to it, so if anybody can or wants to help then let me know.

vandaq Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I would help you with editing and so forth since it is pretty poor but I live over here and I doubt they would do it over the internet. Shame but good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 AVTV is kinda crap, JW is crap (even if his enthusiasm is somewhat endearing), waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 poor bloke just trying to do a job. I dont mind him. I dont have AVTV but i have seen enough of him and he just tries to make things positive (last few years there hasnt been much of it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeVillan Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The only comparison I can think of is it seems like avtv is produced be EA games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I like the guys 'never say die' kind of rhetoric, but to be truthful he does cover the real issues with a lot of blather.. AVTV, though, is a complete mess imo. I only live down South West, yet the coverage is usually pretty hit or miss. I've lost live cover of several games last season and had to rely on second hand reports off of the VT match thread. What am I paying for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca1888 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 If they could make it a top notch service, more features, better match day coverage and so on I'd be willing to pay more than a fiver a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted July 13, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2013 It is true. I dont mind JW's mindless optimism, in fact I like that.

"Paul I noticed to you had Westwood dropping a little deeper than normal today, why was that?" , "Andreas, you were playing more centrally today, how does that alter your game?" They are just made up questions but Woodward almost always just asks some cringeworthy idiocy instead. that JW is a fan, working on a shoestring budget isn't in doubt. As to how you react to him I guess it's personal but I end up wanting to damage myself and things around me after 5 minutes of listening to him. It's genuinely dangerous for me to listen to his interviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Even though the fee is quite low, the quality is poor and there is very little content.The editing reminds me of stuff we did at the media lab as kids back in school. And nothing personal towards JW but he comes off as a complete tool. "And the sun is coming out today Paul(or something like that)". Some of the questions he asks just feels uncomfortable to me as a viewer. It's a dead certain face palm when he opens his mouth. AVTV itself consist of poor editing. Very limited content, it's pretty much an "exclusive" interview with a new player that comes in. And that's what they offer, and the interview itself is pretty poorly done. There's close to zero coverage of the youth team(which other club tv's got). They rarely cover friendlies. When they do cover something, theres something that goes wrong, either the video or audio feed. For me AVTV is a way of supporting the club. But I'm pretty sure I'll cancel my subscription. AVTV is stoneage compared to other club tvs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I agree he's a bit corny and cheesy, but I can deal with him. He could learn to ask different questions like a poster above demonstrated, however I think some of the players could struggle with the mental capacity to answer how playing in a different position alters there game. Note i said "some" not all. Some would be completely capable of answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just needs to turn it down a notch or two and he'd be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
