People filming the goal

Post by Milltown1882 » Mon Sep 15, 2025 9:03 am

I may be getting a bit old and bitter but the amount of fans filming the penalty in the JHU baffled me. I do not understand anyone's logic filming us conceding in injury time to lose the game :shock: :shock:

I’m with you on this. There were tourists at it in front of me filing every time Salah got the ball. Watch the ******* game.

Lets face it a lot of our season ticket holders now aren't really Burnley fans. They're just there to see Premier league footy. Plus a game like yesterday will always attract the tourist types.

It seems to be the thing to do, these days. It’s not just football. Concerts, clubs, everyday life - people’s first thought seems to be about capturing it (presumably to post later) rather than living in and enjoying the moment.

I find it weird, but I find people needing / wanting to publish their life on Instagram, Tik Tok or whatever, weird. I just don’t get it, but presumably plenty do.

It’s not just youngsters either - 40 year old bloke sat in front of me was filming lots of the game on a go pro, yesterday.

I do agree with your point about filming, however, would you have made the same point if Saleh had missed it?

I'd have assumed the overwhelming majority of season ticket holders are renewals.

How do you know a lot of season ticket holders aren't really Burnley fans?

Presumably in the hope it was saved by Dubravka?

You'd hope it would be so that there could be countless comments, posts, reactions to a last minute penalty save and bedlam that would follow in the stands.

Baffling. My phone doesn't come out of my pocket during a game.

Slightly off topic, the chap next to me always has his head down on his phone looking at how his bettings going and the next horse race, he lifts his head when he hears the crowd get excited of us going into the box.

Two guys in front of me get their phone out recording for every free kick and corner it is utterly baffling.

I might get my phone out when there is a break in play such as an injury or VAR check to check the scores in other games but that would be it.

I actually know a family who used to go to Ewood when they were in the Prem, now have season tickets on the Turf. Seen countless lads i know who used to reckon to support Man U or Liverpool now go on the Turf.
How long do you think crowds would stay at this level if we spent a few years back to midtable in the Championship?

Probably about three seasons as happened after our first promotion to the PL.
We had been averaging 20,654 during that season which was 7,500 more than in the Championship when we won promotion.
We were relegated and the average dropped by 5,700 the next season and it continued to fall until, by the end of 2012/13 season the average was 12,928.

A few interesting points here.
Some people enjoy media production (whether that's for their own purposes or to post on Tiktok/Instagram) - and some really don't.
For those who work in/around media, including myself, then I'm accustomed to this. It's not unusual. But I understand why traditionalists who DON'T have an interested in producing/sharing media find it irritating.
With ref to Salah's pen, I can only imagine that it was, as loyalclaret points out, mainly the chance to capture the elation in the (unlikely) event of a save/miss. I mean, that would have been CRAZY!
