Congratulations to Chelsea funded by an oil oligarch in winning the net carbon neutral game.....
Tottenham did their best to help the environment by not expanding any energy at all.
Chelsea were superb and could have scored a shedload in the second half
FT: 0 - 3
What's the issue of efforts are being made? Why do we always have to find an angle to shit on things?
Surely there's no issue with the efforts being made?Quote:

Things are often nothing more than a marketing plot to absolve themselves from real and actually difference making change
Do you go above and beyond then?Quote:

It's just box ticking, marketing nonsense.Quote:

That said, I personally don't mind the idea if it gets people thinking but I can see why people don't and on it's own it's totally pointless.
It's just another example of the desire to be seen to do something being more important than actually doing it
Encourage fans not to exhaleQuote:

Utterly bizarre - it's a self-inflicted downgrade in the experience of seeing something live.Quote:

Yep. Dave on his handheld iPhone vs the entire professional camera setup of the broadcaster covering the game? Who even watches teh crap they film at these events- do people actually re-watch the gig/match/whatever that they recorded on their phone? Surely if you are going to re-watch an event you would watch the broadcaster's professional footage instead of your own?Quote:

Still- each to their own. Doesn't do any harm, it just puzzles me.
No harm done but like you I don't understand it. The atmosphere is so good at these things you need to soak it up not worry about your camera angle. Weird.Quote:
