Should TV Producers show replays for controversial situations?

[xaviniesta]

lately i've become really angry about them. often there are situations in a game where they show replays of a foul in 3-4 different angles and in slowmotion. is it really nessecary? why don't they show more replays of skills, passes etc. they often go unnoticed, unless it leads to goal/shot, whereas they show fouls, tackles, offsides all this so many times. the talking points usually after the games are something like whether it was a offside or not instead of how great that skill was in midfield. one good example was the last euro's they had this wonderful super slow motion shots which are beautiful to watch it was almost always when they used it for fouls to show us wheter it was a foul or a dive.



so what do you think of it? sould they keep it like it is? or change it? do the players get more advantege of this (diving) or referees more biased?


a) yes, we want to see if it was a right call or not.
b) no, show more situations of skills, passes, tricks.
c) keep it like it is now.

I'll go with A, but there's nothing saying they can't show skills just because they run replays of offsides and such

in hard situations i will go with A but generally yes in some soft fouls its really annoying....

ok i messed up with option C - i wanted to say keep like it is now but more replays about football or something like that.

like when there is a situation where there was a great dribbling away from a defender but in the end he still gets hacked down and then they just show the foul and then all the referees on the couch can argue wheter it was a foul or a dive not about how great dribbling it was.

I went with C.

The thing with fouls is that the play stops - hence it's easier to show the replay. Whenever I watch games, they do show skills and dribbles if it leads to a stoppage in play like foul, corner, sometimes throw ins...When the play doesnt stop, very rarely they show any skills. Sometimes though, they show replays of skills (Xavi skill vs Valencia comes to mind) even though 10-15 minutes have passed.

this is exactly what i want more, but thse happens very rarely. sometimes it just happens so quickly in midfield that you can't even notice it and the play goes on. but they rarely show it later when there is a foul and the choose to show the foul, not the skill 5 minutes earlier.

Recently watched a Lazio game where Hernanes did an awesome piece of skill which left the other player on his ass with Klose scoring from his pass straight after, they showed the replay 3-4 times after just seeing Klose's goal

I guess with fouls/offsides & whatnot they are guaranteed talking points for pundits at HT/FT or w.e so there's always something to talk about, but i'm certainly in favor of replays of skill most definately. Voted B.

The producers in Spain are pretty crap tbh, show random clips of pointless things non stop.

This is something (tv replays) that annoys me a lot. A few other points:

~With goals they will show only (with the odd exception) the few seconds leading up to, and including, the goal- even if a great play (be it an amazing tackle, piece of skill, pass etc) happened to kick start it, but it happened 7 passes or 10 seconds before. its like they never (via/through replay) appreciate or praise build up in the same way they do the goals themselves- even if the goal was a tap in and the build up was orgasmic.

This happens often with Leo and Andres, and its annoying. A lot of leo's non goal scoring amazingness is never replayed or referenced.

The amount of times something like the following happens (purely made up example)

Leo nicks the ball off a player brilliantly, does a great turn and threads the ball between two players to Iniesta with a sublime pass. Iniesta dribbles past a player, passes to Xavi, who immediately flicks it to Leo, who passes back to Iniesta (this triangle happening really quick, with amazing 1st touches, taking out 4 players)- Iniesta then immediately threads a beautiful through ball between the back line to someone who finishes well and scores. All this happens in only say.. 8 seconds.

The replay will likely start from Iniestas through ball. Or if we are lucky, starting from xavi.

Anyone else notice this?

especially with barcelona who's goals are very often with beutiful build up.

first one that comes to my mind the the one messis cored against sociedad in 2010/11 season. the 2nd half begun. barca had the posession about 30 second. then dani and messi decided to do their magic. they took the ball on the right flanks near the half way line. first their drew 2 triangles over 2 sociead players together with xavi. then messi stayed on right and dani in the middle and on they went, playing 3 one-twos together , getting passed the whole sociedad team (8-9 players) up to the point where dani finally passed it to messi who finished it coolly near in the 6 yard box. one of the most amazing goal i've ever seen. but still when you look at the highlights they start with the point where they are already in about 30 meters from goal and already played most of those passes. in the end it looks just like another tap in for messi....


one that quickly comes to my mind as well is the one pedro scored vs real madrid in CL semi final. it all started with valdes playing it shortly with masch and then passed it to alves that cut the whole real madrid attack (5 players) who ran it 30 meters, passed it to andres who played a trough ball to pedro who finished it. they started to show the goal in the part where alves already ran with the ball, that was so unfair because they didn't show how it all started. its like reading only the end of the book, or watch only the end of a movie. doesn't tell the whole story.

Voted B.

They don't need to show all this crap like fouls and offsides at all, in my book. It just stirs up unnecessary debates. Also, it isn't quite exactly music to my ear when commentators (after watching the scene for like 50 times from 600 angles each) say something like "OMG!!!ZZZZ, he's offside with his toe nail, this incorrect decision surely decided the match !!!", followed by absurd debates in every pub,living room and forum you can imagine.

I'd much rather like to see something like this from more angles:

Definitely A. It has to be clear if it was a right call or not.

But I have seen some TV Producers that show replays of both skills and fouls/offsides, so I'm sure they can combine those things.

well said. the video as an exaple is perfect as well. one of the highlöight of the greatest games in history of barca and they didn't showa single replay of that.

 

[xaviniesta]

they just showed xavi's croqueta after like 2 minutes it happened. well done looks like they have read this forum

I pick A. However, when they do A, they should also bring it up to the refs and the FA instead of just showing the public the bad calls (what MLS is doing). Otherwise, nothing will be done and the bad calls will define football (soccer lol) and not the beauty, which is what football is about.
