pillred Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've noticed when watching live games or match of the day that a lot of clubs have the game on the big screens at their ground all the time, Neil Harris was complaining about them showing the handball incident yesterday. We only seem to show replays of goals or good shots, why don't we show the game like almost everybody else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I dont see the point. I would rather they have a list of both teams on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 What would be the need to show the game live on the screen when it’s going on in front of you? I’m pretty sure in the Millwall game the replay was being shown and Silva was pointing out to the 4th official and Harris obviously didn’t want him to see it and for him to tell the ref of the incident (not that I think he would of) they may show the game as it’s going on but I really don’t see the point.

View from the Dolman Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Pretty sure we did have it showing the game for the first match or two after they were installed but the feedback on here was that it was too distracting. Might be wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't see the point of having the majority of the screens filled up with massive club badges, when it could be filled with useful information like the lineups.

WelshRobin Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Seem to usually have the game live on screens for rugby in the Millennium Stadium - I often catch myself watching the screen instead of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the benefit for rugby, where you can't really see the rucks/scrums very well from your seat, but in football surely you just look at the pitch...

Sleepy1968 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 OP. I don't know why we only show the odd highlights, but the suggestion by @View from the Dolman that live action was too distracting seems reasonable. One thing you can't do is replay controversial incidents. As the 'controversial' incident was in fact a goal, it's a bit difficult to say you can't replay it. And I think if the Millwall media team realised it was a (probable) blatant handball they'd never have replayed the incident. (Or maybe that's why they replayed it!) The officials were quite right to ignore the replay (if they even saw it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Derby and Forest always have the game on but I find it quite disorienting as its filmed from the other side of the pitch and gives you a mirror image of what you're seeing, ie the goal on our left, (in front of the away support), is shown as the right hand goal on the screen!

I found it useful at Forest because in real life I was watching that horrible “behind the goal” view, not from the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken. I hate being behind the goal as you can't see what's happening at the other end. I can remember at Burton where my eyeline was level with the crossbar and you lost sight of the ball for a third of the pitch until the play moved forward r back!

TinMan's left peg Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Showing the live feed of the match on big screens is a massive atmosphere killer as well as a distraction. Silent TV has a weird effect of making people stand and stare like zombies (always happens in pubs). I seem to remember a comedian suggesting TV screens on silent could be used to control riots. Really hope we don’t go back to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I didn’t think they could show anything controversial eg replays. Millwall did yesterday which was wrong. Many do show the game but you will find you don’t see replays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
