Title: Camera man on the pitch
Post by: fulhamtom on December 03, 2025, 12:03:06 AM
My son and myself in H7 both noticed a camera man come onto the pitch a number of times. Never seen anything like this before, maybe a foot over the line, but today he was part of the action.

Game should be Null and Voided then, and have a rematch.

I wondered about that. Never noticed it before.

He was halfway across the pitch to film Haaland after he scored his goal. Should not have happened.

Hope the referee includes it in his report and the TV company gets grief.

New thing they're allowed to do for celebrations as of this season.

Before the match when Bassey was saying his prayers, it seemed the cameraman was litteraly in front of him filming it. I felt that was a bit invasive in what was a personal moment for him.

Pretty sure the camerman was stood on his gloves as well whilst filming him praying, rather unsavoury

Missed that, but does feel completely absurd. The need to get the right shot seems to come above any respect and decency.

Yeah it looked so odd, the cameraman ran on straight away after Haaaland scored, but I believe they are allowed now. It's all about the tv now.

Surely his camera has a zoom on it. I saw him run on when Haaland scored and shove it in Calvin's chops when he was praying. Odd.

He should be booked! And Calvin could hit him with the Good Book!

TV, or rather TV money, rules everything.

Were that not the case the abomination that is VAR would have been kicked into touch (confirmed by GLT!) as soon as its shortcomings and disadvantages had become apparent.

Next: Penalty takers to be interviewd as to what their plans are before taking the kick.
