I've complained about this for years, and now it's getting it's own thread.
I'm sick and tired of missing several minutes of actual play when watching a game on telly because some wannabe Hollywood producer sits in his production van and decides that showing the same replay of an incident over and over again, showing close-ups of players, showing the crowd, showing the manager, and showing the sky is more important than the game itself.
Yes I get it, Fergie sits in the stand. Yes, he's got a telephone, it's amazing. Yes, he's talking to Rene, how clever. Yes, Rene now walks away over to the touchline. Yes, he talks with Phelan. Or wait, no, he talks to Rooney. Curveball. feck off!
All while the ball is in play and you can hear the crowd getting louder and louder because we're brining the ball up field. Then when the Hollywood producer is done wanking over footage of Fergie sitting in the stands and finally decides to return to the pitch, Bolton suddenly have a throw-in in their own half, despite it being out for a goal kick to us the last time we saw it.
The English football producers are by far the worst at this. The Spanish ones usually don't show any replays of an incident until they're certain the ball is out for long enough time. In England all it takes is for Edwin to catch a shot and we immediately get 3 replays of some random incident, and then when they're done showing the replays we also get 10 seconds of very close-up footage of the player involved in the incident, as if we didn't know from the billion replays already shown. All while the ball has been in play. Wankers.
In other news, great win for us, eh.

I complain about this every single week, but I'm sure its getting worse. There was one point today where a Bolton player had a header. We got two replays of it, then a close up of his head as he ran about somewhere, then a picture of some people mulling about at the side of the pitch, presumably talking about the header (?), and then for some reason a five second close up of Berbatov's face, despite him having nothing to do with anything.
