Manchester United will now be able to infuriate you inside your own home after Sky announced plans to screen this weekend’s big clash with Arsenal in 3D. Fans will now be able to enjoy images such as Wayne Rooney spitting and cursing at the referee or Darren Fletcher’s face five inches closer to their sofa. Sky said the move would be a ‘revolutionary step in the field of TV smashing.’
The FA, keen to explore the idea further are looking at the possibility of 3D advertising, 3D replica shirts and 3D crowd violence but have warned the prospect of 3D flare guns are still someway off.
Head of Arsenal fan club Arsea Hulle fears the new technology may turn supporters away from big matches. ‘Why would a supporter go to a game and watch 2D rubbish when you can be at home watching the real thing? That’s right isn’t it? Wait, what’s reality filmed in again?’
