Think i spent to much time watching it and trying to see how it worked

Not for me it was like watching the game through a milk bottle, could not get any perspective on distance, attacking or defensive lines which had me shouting at the TV every time they switched to it. possibly ok for replays but not live action

Interesting how you say you couldn't guage the distance or speed.. To me it made it look how difficult it can be finding gaps as you are basically there in the line.

Liked it when used during replays, but found it disorientating trying to follow the 'live' action.

I watched the Wigan Leeds game and found it very unsettling. I could swear it looped the loop at one point and I fell off my bar stool, though that's not entirely uncommon.

It's nice to see SKY trying new things but it needs a bit of tweaking - once or twice the crucial aspect of the play was lost or the wider view of the field was truncated.

Think I dislike Spidercam more than I dislike Ryan Bailey!

Just another soon to be short lived toy....No sense of perspective when it's being used...Almost as annoying as lingering shots of random individuals in the crowd when all we want to see is the playing of the game.

Does it do what a spider can?

Agree that it was disorientating at times, better for the replays.

It seemed to stay behind the line of attack, but I wonder what would happen if a kicked ball hit it?

I liked it on the whole, though it was a bit like watching a video game at times.

I like it. Adds something different to the viewing experience.

That red, amber green thing is rubbish. Doesn't really tell you anything.

not for me looked at times like watching video game, found myself trying to move players around with the controller as for ref cam, made me sea sick _ something a ship has failed to do

Yeah that's how i found it to be.

Would be better to use it just for replays or the odd full set of attacking or defending moves for each team, perhaps two sets each team per half. Switching back and forth sends the veiwers daft.
