CHANGE IS NOT GOOD.
That was the underlying message as Manchester City hosted Manchester United in what Sky Sports have been building up to all week, and they would have done so with great excitement to test out their fancy new 'Spidercam' in a new stadium after it made it's debut for Man Utd vs Liverpool in January.
Well, in that case they would have been absolutely disgusted to see the extremely negative reaction on social media from the first half of the Manchester Derby.
First seen at corners in the early stages of the game, it was very zoomed out and looked odd:
And football fans were quick to vent their fury at Sky Sports.
Some just hated the camera angle, while others couldn't understand why they would choose such a big game to essentially test out a piece of equipment.
Hi @SkySports, stop using that shit camera angle on corners. This isn't Sensible Soccer.

I don't pay sky sports for them to start testing out the new fucking camera angles mid way through the game. This isn't FIFA #MCFCvMUFC
