From next year Arsenal fans will be able to watch highlights of the match they are watching at the club’s Emirates stadium through Sony’s handheld games console the PSP.
Fans will be able to watch the match on a five-second delay, the idea being that supporters needn’t miss out on replays they would have access to if watching the game at home or in the pub.
Sounds great – but how responsible is it? Currently most football clubs have huge screens on which they show replays of near misses and goals.
But never would a club dare show a replay of a disallowed goal, a penalty shout that’s been turned down or a vicious foul for fear of crowd violence.
