Why did the ITV anchor draw huge amounts of attention to the green laser pointed at Schmeichel when the last time it happened (Rooney) it turned out to be a press camera range-finder?

The commentary is bad enough as it is.

BBC should just do all England games.
 
Huge amounts of attention? Give over.
Regardless of who is responsible, they really shouldn't be directing it at his face when preparing for a penalty.
 
Definitely shouldn’t happen, Anyone that purposely does that doesn’t belong in a football ground.

I don’t think it affected him too much though because he’s actually saved the penalty. That said, it was a pretty awful penalty from Kane, who is usually deadly from the spot.

But that's the point. It isn't some rando - it's a press photographer doing what press photographers do.

It's a nothing story that ITV interrupted the celebrations to bring attention to.

Bonkers.
 
For me the commentator for ITV was terrible. Every other comment was snide ,chliche , or stat as in # England are goal free for …..oops!!
Absolute rubbish . I believe his name is Sam Matterface. IMP very poor!

Former Sky sports news presenter. Enough said.
 
If it affects anyone it is the taker not the keeper. I doubt he (the keeper) had eyes in the back of his head

Problem with Matterface is he's obviously desperate for a Wolstenholme moment and establish a legacy with a comment or quip that'll become some iconic cultural reference endlessly quoted. He was really forcing it after we went 2-1 up and spent the rest of the match rolling off a load rubbish he had no doubt prepared before the match. Absolute t*t he is.

Yeah, when Sterling beat the defender and nearly scored late on I was half expecting him to say "They think it's all over...."
 
Thought Roy Keane was going to end up in a fight with Wrighty and Neville at the end. He must be the most miserable Irishman I have ever seen. Normally the Irish are great craic. Will be watching the Final on BBC. (y)
 
I agree it's a stupid and reprehensible thing to do. However, on the pictures I've seen the light was only visible on the side of his head, around the temple area. And as most of the articles on it point out, he didn't even seem to notice it.
 
Press camera range finder?
Flash IR shows up as red & only a close range..

That looked very much like a laser & rightly called out..

More d***heads taking lasers into stadia - should be fined & banned from attending games.. if they can be identified..

Lots of little smirks between the 3 of them, I think they are amusing themselves and it’s all an agreed act between them to be honest. I like Roy.

It did move onto his eye just before the penalty was taken, but he didn't even flinch. I don't think he noticed it at all.
