Never to the dark side Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Personally I don't like that when important games are inter mingled as each match highlights unfold. I would prefer if it was shown as two separate match's,most of us do know the outcome of the games Only two prem games are important this Sunday afternoon. So a poll is splice or shown as two separate games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Depends if you know the scores before watching. If you've avoided the scores, spliced has more of a dramatic effect. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have to show highlights from every game to keep all viewers happy. If they don’t then they receive criticism from fans. I record it and then watch it in my in own time and any game that I’m not particularly interested in I just FF x 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that impact whether they splice the highlights or show the games separately? Still the same amount of time and footage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've avoided the scores, spliced has more of a dramatic effect. The best example of that was the "Aguero" moment. It was the same day as an annual family picnic, and I somehow managed to avoid hearing anything at all. In fact I had forgotten all about it until I sat down to watch MotD that evening. It was "spliced" and it was like watching a great thriller with a twist at the end. Unforgettable. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means showing a highlight from minute 11 in game A, then going to game B for a highlight in minute 24, then back to A for minute 31, if there's a third game then chucking their highlights too but you show the highlights from all relevant games in chronological order, its not a split screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 The EFL show spliced it for the last day(s) of the League and I found it irritating TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its better viewing for me, you follow the natural timeline of the day rather than just watching the highlights of the first game and knowing how the day goes in a lot of cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I would imagine that they “splice” because the commentary might contain reference to the other game(s)??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Robbored said: Sky sports will probably do something similar today. On any highlights programme they probably will but with the two games being shown live I would think it`s pretty much impossible. They may show any incidents from one game in breaks in the other but to instantly switch would be a tech nightmare. What if whilst they`re showing, say, a red card in one game a goal is scored in the other? Edit: the Arsenal game isn`t on Sky anyway!

22A Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Sorry folks, but I like looking back.In the 60's & early 70's MotD would show highlights of just two games, usually from the 1st Division. That wasn't exclusive though; remember Bristol C V Blackpool? If the two of the top teams in Div 4 were playing one another that would be shown due to the programme's title.

petehinton Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I absolutely love MOTD still. For those who don’t watch, how do you watch PL/FA Cup highlights out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I think if I was that bothered over who wins I’d like separate games but as I never care about any Prem results the unfolding story of the spliced version is quite good. I guess nowadays if your that bothered you’d have seen it unfold live anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not the question you ask but I don't watch any highlights. I often wonder if I would like football more if I didn't support city!
