Shaky camera technique in football TV coverage is imbecilic.

[Reducation]

I've just been looking at brief highlights of Sheff United vs Wolves. I was particularly interested in seeing Ramsdale's save from Saiss in slo-mo and/or from a different angle (and this is not the worst example by a long way). But of course the TV people have no interest in that kind of thing: they only slavishly follow the tiresome trend of the jerky-rapid-zoom-ooh-it's-all-so-fast-moving-that-we-can't-keep-up-with-it pretence. This style is all very well for Hollywood action films, but for a spectator sport it's the opposite of sensible. I have a faint hope that one day the stunningly unimaginative world of the TV production people will be infiltrated by fresh blood and introduced to common sense.

So one of my pet peeves in movies has now made its way to football?

Well, it's been in football for years.

I've no idea what this is about, because you didn't post an example, but it's the 'fresh blood' that's doing it.
