Chelsea FC have become the first football club to team up with youtube, their chelsea TV is putting daily news on youtube. my review, a 1 minute piece to camera from studio is a tiny slice of what a TV station should be able to put to YT each day. The camera stayed in the studio, so if you already know what the presenter looks like (a photo could help) then it may as well not be on YouTube. The content is a news headlines report from presenter sitting on the studio floor. the content is not even worthy of radio or podcast, you might as well ship this content to premium phone club call services as the only people that will hear it there are the worlds saddest fans. The breaking news of the day the eve of the FA Cup fifth round tie was the club denying something muted my fans in the clubs forum…! shocking… where are the multi billions worth of footie players, goal mouth action, training ground footage, locker room talk, fans vox pop, or an inside tour (cribs like) of the owners yacht. i see sky involved, if its like their brush with podcasting in 2005 expect a retreat before an advance.

Ryder Cup 2006: corny opening ceremony, worse closing ceremony (ask the MC how stupid it was) good golf (i think) and boy do they know how to celebrate. The USA didn’t show up, and they didn’t play well as a team in my opinion, anyway I know nothing about golf, it was the radio spectacle I was tuned to, and the TV to a much lesser extent, the pic from Sveriges Television (SVT) two holes in one (by Europe & USA) and two pints of black stuff in one, by two of these men. more pix L8R (read on for more)
