Charlton commentary during games

After watching the highlight's from Saturday, it will be hard to follow another game on our official cafc twitter page and believe the commentary.
The yard offside goal/throw in decision/fouls given against us is becoming more than predictable before they even arrive. Keep it realistic!

Go for it @Ollywozere.
How dare somebody be in the slightest way critical of those unpaid volunteer Charlton fans doing everybody a massive favour.0 -
Yawn. As tedious as you complaining about the food at dinners you don't attend and just as inaccurate.seth plum said:Go for it @Ollywozere.

Yawn. Play the man ignore the issue.
The dinner I attended had rank food way overpriced.
Why go back?2 -
was pretty clear at first glance that their 2nd goal was onside3

This is not the first time our official Twitter account has been called out. Was it last season there was problems with Peterborough?
Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would prefer the official club lines shows a better line of professionalism and dignity, otherwise you have moments like this where you end up looking stupid4 -
Totally agree with OP. Golfie Jnr follows the away games via twitter & he oftens recounts a different story to the one that pans out.
The offside was rediculous. Only had to see it once on tv to see Ince was at least level with Matthews.0 -

We call it how we see it at the time. Thought Davis' tackle was a good one. The second looked offside to the naked eye, the players' reactions supported that theory and everyone was in agreement in the pressbox. Even the replays supported it as they only showed alternative views in the pressbox, rather than the main camera angle that shows Matthews level. Happy to admit that we got that one wrong.
But the tweet explained that it 'looked' offside and the lads were fuming - which was all true at the time.
The throw-in was mental...there was no excuses for that from the linesman.
I'll admit I lost my head a bit on Saturday, same as the players and same as a lot of the supporters!
But the passion will remain. If there's a crap decision we'll call it out.
In reference to the Peterborough thing from a couple of years back - we suggested that a certain player was chucking himself around and diving....which he most definitely was.
In summary - I would agree that the final tweet of the four posted above was probably a toe over the line so I'll apologise for that one, especially with the benefit of hindsight regarding the second goal.
Football = passion and it comes out in all kinds of different ways - both for good and bad days at the office. Saturday was a bad one for all concerned.29 -

BBC local radio broadcasts .. e.g. Lincoln .. the Imps are always on top, always unlucky, every foul is a mistimed good tackle .. the commentators give the fans/public what it wants to hear ..
similarly, a good mate I often sit with at away games is convinced that Charlton NEVER commit a foul, every opposition goal is offside and that we control every game, if this was that we'd top the table .. he'd make a good CAFC/local radio commentator ((:>)0 -
Also worth mentioning that Stoke's twitter account also thought the second looked offside:

Ince's goal ? .. would take VAR to sort that one out .. understandable that the Addicks commentator would call offside' .. I would have been screaming offside had I been there
whatever, our defending for their goals was rubbish .. Purrington's goal was a beauty .. impossible to get a real perspective from a 2 minute (or less) set of clips

At least we get a running commentary on ours. Some clubs’ Twitter accounts during a match are very basic e.g. goal scored, subs made and half and full time. Nothing else.2

Seen too many clubs with this approach... Its why Im happy for the club to continue with its style when reporting the action, dont want robotic comments as dont get an indication of the gameRoss said:At least we get a running commentary on ours.

If people would prefer that then they can always use the BBC text service3 -
long live the commentary, it's the next best thing to being there - thanks guys5

If you're a fan watching the game you don't see 50/50s and offsides objectively. You're always going to side with your team. Our commentators are fans so that's what they do. Sometimes when I'm watching on a stream I see they're wrong but I don't mind really. If I was there I'd be doing my nut as well.

keep it going @Ollywozere
just because you don't necessarily get it all right doesn't mean it's not worth having.4 -
I'd be hugely disappointed if the club media was anything but strongly partisan.
This is football and those commentating and tweeting are fans first and foremost.
The BBC will provide bland and neutral balance. I like the empassioned and rightly biased view and expect it from in house media teams.6 -

Guys are doing a brilliant job.
No dramas or personal digs, but on Saturday it felt like everything went against us, in the manner we've got used to Tottenham and Arsenal fans over the years!

I find it really helpful having the Twitter text commentary, I was in New Zealand over Christmas and I was able to follow the results, when Naby scored the equaliser against QPR, I was going crazy at 6 in the morning! Thanks for the hard work.1

always enjoy the commentary on away games and love the bias,long may it continue0

It's a Charlton twitter account run by Charlton fans FFS! Of course it's going to be a bit biased. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't!!
