The camera angle of Portsmouth v Derby was literally unbelievable

You'd take it for granted how important the camera angles are at football games.

We never would have thought how jarring it would be to have the main camera closer to the pitch but we came to that realisation tonight when Portsmouth v Derby punched us square in the face.

APOLOGY: We'd like to apologise for our main camera angle at Portsmouth. Due to Health & Safety reasons we couldn't use the usual gantry.

Sky Sports were forced to apologise for the retina-melting broadcast but football fans looking to catch a bit of Capital One Cup action are an unforgiving bunch.
