One thing I will never understand… 22:47 - Jul 6 with 2995 viewsMattinLondon

…is why some people look through their mobiles for special events such as the penalty shootout tonight.

Not limited to football as I’ve seen it at gigs etc. Don’t know why people don’t enjoy the moment rather than filming it like a third rate cameraman.

All about the attention when they post it online.

Truly impaired.

Same here. Which bit of a globally broadcast event are they hoping to uniquely capture? Mystifying - as is the filming of gigs.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Absolutely share your sentiment.

It makes no sense, as you say, to be somewhere in person and able to witness an event to miss it by trying to film it instead, I'd want to lap it up and remember it.

A real modern life hate there for me.

Was at a Wildhearts gig a few years back and there was some phones in the air, filming. As one of his between song chats Ginger announced 'can everyone stop swearing at the people holding their phones up to film the gig. They've paid their money, they can film if they want. Just bear in mind, that if you're stood behind someone who's doing this, you've also paid your money and if you feel like snatching it out of their hand and flinging it to the back of the hall, you've also paid your money...'

Or capturing the moment, … bit sceptical to say people want the attention by posting online, maybe judging by you own standards… some people are probably face timing as well..

Personal preference.., just because you don’t like it, doesn’t make it wrong.. you can capture that moment and enjoy it again..

The worst ones are those who leave the camera light on when filming at gigs, thus dazzling the band.

It's probably just about acceptable at stadium size shows, because that's basically like 'lighters in the air' but in less than 5,000 capacity shows, it's bad form.

It’s easy to capture the moment for tonight’s shootout - just turn on iPlayer or it’s Spanish and Italian equivalent.

I'd rather have actual memories over 'capturing the moment'.

Especially when the moment is captured by proper camera people.

Cause I quickly learnt it was a complete waste of time.

Techno-slavery is what it is, and it's insidious and soul-stealing. I'm only half joking when I say that smartphones have surreptitiously turned people into part- or full-time zombies.

Stuart lee at Regent jumped off stage after warning about filming, ran to the back, took woman's phone, did the rest of gig with it down his pants. Belonged to the wife of a chap i know but don't lhave much time for! Lee slung it on the stage and left it there at end of gig, leaving the irate bloke to claim it. Lovely stuff.
