Taking pictures/videos at games

[OneBardGooner]

I really don't get the whole film my life thing, happens as much in concerts. Read somewhere that it's an inconcious way of making the event about you. It's a reflection of the selfish all me society that's been stablished.

Totally agree mate and hasn't been helped by facebook and the like

I hate it when people tink they can just take your picture without asking....they thiunk it's sooo cool. I growl and shout FUCK OFF!

You know what I hate even more? Those morons who put their shitty camera phone videos on YouTube as "Henry goal vs Leeds" or whatever and then you get a million of them when you're trying to find a proper view of a particular incident.

Anyway, I don't really travel much at all so I don't have much first hand experience. I will say I think society has got to the point where the ability to take infinite photos (thanks to large SD cards, flash memory, etc) has made people think they need to take that many photos/videos. I say take 5-10 quality ones and be done with it. And certainly not during the match, how the hell do you have time to fiddle around with a phone when you're trying to watch a live game?

I watched Everton play River Plate live, locally, during their preseason tour a few years ago. Took maybe 3 pictures after the game? But that was more than enough. Still have the memories of watching the game, and Ortega's beautiful 1-0 winner. Back then I didn't know Moyes was the greatest manager ever ( ), so I really regret not trying to meet him and shake his hand (and tell him to come to Arsenal).

I take a picture at every away game, before kick off, so I can remember it. Keep em in a file on my computer. After that, the phone goes away until after the game.
