IMHO slow motion replays are way overused.This seemingly standard practice sends me apoplectic when watching footie, my submission is that you cant judge the skill involved in the execution of the goal/move that led up to the goal.In slow motion is impossible to tell jsut how quickly/how little time the players had to ponder their next move/execute their skill/s, furthermore its impossible to tell the 'real-time' speed of shots,passes etc. We are subjeted to endless slo-mo replays from different angles but rarely do we get *** move/goal replayed in real time, this is so glaringly obvious to me why dont they do it?? Ok maybe slo-mo is helpful in seeing if a ball is out or hand ball etc but ffs for the reasons above it is def detrimental to true appreciation of skills on show.They also very annoyingly insist on showing us replays WHILE THE GAME RAGES ON..........for the love of god why cant they get this right??
 
I know. if they show slow mo, they should also play it normal speed or you just don't know what's happened, making hard things seem more simplisting.
 
So it's not just me who is full of rage about the replays/slow motion shots??

Do we seriously need to see the same shot from every single angle possible whilst the game is playing away? Todays england game for example, while we where watching a replay for the 600th time, a yellow card was given that we didn't get to see till *another* replay later on!

They really did seem to get over used in todays match!

yeah it is a tad annoying when they keep showing replays of useless events. though, yesterday in the argentina match, borgetti had an excellent chance to score which warranted a replay (:p) but they didn't show anything. the bbc don't have control over the cameras/replays btw..all done by the german companys.
 
I don't mind them in themselves. It's when they are shown while play is going on elsewhere. Similarly close up shots of players, the crowd, the bench etc drive me nuts. I want to see the whole game, with off the ball play shown as well as on the ball.

Fair enough if the game's stopped due to an injury or something but there isn't time to put replays in when someone's taking a free kick or throw in.
