Why Tennent’s?
T5s technology, launched by Tennent’s in February 2015, has taken the five-a-side world by storm, with over 24,000 videos uploaded and over 20m online views to date.
T5s is live on 14 pitches across 5 centres in Scotland, with more planned over the coming months. It allows players to capture and upload the last 20 seconds of action by pushing one of the giant red buttons positioned on the sidelines.
No need to wait until a Saturday night to see the highlights, the footage is uploaded to the T5’s app and www.T5s.tv.
T5’s most famous clip went viral after being viewed over 15m times worldwide. The clip even featured on the James Corden Late Late show in America.
And what is that clip, I hear you ask. Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on this:
Let’s hope it turns up some more beauties like that. Certainly Archie Macpherson, the event commentator, is up for it saying: “throughout my career I’ve commentated some of the biggest football games in Scotland, from cup finals, derby games to the European cup. It’ll be great fun to see some of Scotland’s 5-a-side players compete for the first ever T5s tournament, and judging by the previous videos I’ve seen, there’s sure to be a few laughs throughout the day.”
