Is there an official policy not to show replays of play now? Or is it an ITV thing?

In Sweden, we had the same problem on Viaplay. Who is actually doing the filming? Some french company I presume?

ITV prob won’t have any control over this I suppose so it’ll be French TV. It just struck me as odd because we’re normally bombarded with replays of dodgy moments. Prob a good idea so that the crowd don’t over influence the ref by seeing incidents on the big screen. We at home have the rewind button.

If we have only conceded 14 by the hour mark, I'll be pleased.

I think the fact that the French producers are not known for their impartiality also influenced the decision.

I can totally see why it might be a good idea for those reasons, just struck me as a bit odd and slightly annoying. Don’t know why they can’t just have 2 separate feeds though, one for stadium and one for TV.
