Snooker with cube-shaped balls might not seem so bad, as the camera is fixed on the same area for long periods but with football, it is following the ball and panning and zooming a lot. Does being able to see every blade of grass enhance the experience?

Please don't flame me. It's an genuine theory and honest question.

Football wise i would say when you have seen one match you have seen them all now documentrys are a different story always something different every time.
