Saracens give fans instant replay - on their mobiles
http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport ... 55851.html

I've heard people complaining about fans watching the big screens instead of the match. Frankly that seems sane, compared to fans standing at the match, watching it on their phone.... hey ho though, that's Generation-Facebook in action.

Think of the stupidest thing that you can then send it in email form to Saracens & bingo it is their latest offering. These people make fookwits appear simply marvellous.

As for the big screens, let me repeat, unless you are 6 foot or over with the sunken terrace now providing a worse than ever view some of us enjoy the ability to look to the screens to see what we cannot see with our own lamps. This may well be my final year as a terrorist, crap :duck: sorry Kofi, ................ terracist

Lay off the screens or, in the words of legendary Belfast Gobshite Alex Higgins Dec'd, "I'll have you shot".

Oh I dunno, might as well get the bugs ironed out. If you take Google Glass as the first generation of the "next big thing" in portable computing, you could be watching a match with a HUD style overlay and replays projected right onto your retina in a "vision in vision" type arrangement.

Saracens f£££wittery really knows no bounds does it?

The most soulless team in the country playing a crap style of rugby in a small stadium in front of a small number of 'fans' with a Ashton as a CEO.

Of course it would be the Super Saracens who introduced this :roll:

We were trying to work this out the other day. Have they been replaced once already, or have the original ones just been finished off better (in terms of tidying up cabling and filling on the gaps in the gantries? The other question that came up - are we keeping the old Lansdowne score board and of so where?
