Another Goondoo from STOMP
Jun 26, 2008 Gossips, Singapore, Soccer
This Sammy rants about his “disrupted live broadcast of Euro 2008 semifinal, Germany VS Turkey, early this morning”.
STOMPer Sammy was watching the Euro 2008 match, Germany vs Turkey, when the match was interrupted and this message appeared on the TV screen. The STOMPer was livid.
In his email to STOMP today (June 26), he wrote:
“I hate to see this on the TV again and again, especially when I was watching the match early this morning.
“I paid money to watch Euro but the transmission was lost.
“I feel that it is not a good excuse to say feed is inherent from source.”
Another STOMPer, Jackson, wrote in an email, regarding the disruption.
“The exciting end to end match between Germany and Turkey was disrupted several times and we miss at least two of the goals and the last goal the screen was stuck with the replay of Lahm celebrating the goal.
“It was suppose to be an eye opening exciting match as it ended 3 - 2 with the victory going to Germany at the last minute but we missed the Germans’ celebration and Turkey’s desperate fight back in injury time after the match as well and the animated players and managers at the end of the match.
“And most importantly, the goals and the best part of the match.
“Many football fans like me will most certainly have similar thoughts and feel gutted to miss out on the best part of the match, for those with Europass as well as those watching from the Preview channel.
“I am 100 percent sure that my complaint won’t be the last and hope that Starhub can provide better live telecast for the other Euro Semi Final between Russia and Spain and the Euro 2008 Final as well as the upcoming BPL matches, FA and Carling, Copa Del Rey matches and La Liga matches.”
STOMP is contacting Starhub.
Of course, as consumer, we can rant, complain. But, with valid reason and do our homeworks 1st lah. I know Stabhub Sports channels are like sh|t, but don’t just push every blame on Starhub.
The disruption was due to violent storms in Vienna, goondoo! It was disrupted right from the source. Nothing Starhub can help. Read the news report HERE. It is not Singapore only, most fans all over the world were affected.
People, don’t just sit there and complan only. Spend some time, surf some net, read some news, hang around in forums. Don’t be a frog in the well called Singapore. If Sammy spended some time in foreign forums, like those in China, Malaysia, he would have known that the fans there were also affected.
By the way Sammy, how much you lose in that game?
