SKY TELEVISION will blast 3D football into your living room by 2010, according to reports.
Yes, if the thought of having Wayne Rooney and gang looming out at you in full 3D doesn't fill you with dread, you should start preparing to watch them in all their, almost like the real thing, glory. And by preparing we mean going out and getting yourself a 3D television.
Today the firm said that it would initially show matches from the Premiership on the service, so home viewers will have the delightful prospect of seeing their favourite player running out for a throw in just by the side of their sleeping dog.
Here at the Inq, we spent a lot of last week doing things like taping 3D specs to the front of our real spectacles just to watch Jaws 3D on Channel 4. Given that the experience rated somewhere down on the level of watching Mr MacBlurr in a fight against Swimmy the thingy, we can't say the prospect of any further such experiences fills us with anything but dread.
And we haven't even mentioned the fact that Sky has already broadcast a 3D concert featuring aural offenders Keane, which any sensible person would call an act of madness - a bit like Henry Ford showing off his motorcar by driving it through a cluster of passersby.
In fact, we can't help but think that any real football fan would prefer to watch their team in real time 3D - that is, in person - as opposed to plonking down on the sofa wearing something on their face that resembles Star Trek sunglasses.
But nobody asked us. µ

The article you provided discusses the imminent arrival of 3D television for viewing football matches, specifically on Sky Television. Here's a breakdown of the key points highlighted in the article:

• Sky Television is planning to introduce 3D football broadcasting by 2010, bringing the excitement of matches into viewers' living rooms in three dimensions.
• The initial focus of the service will be on showing matches from the Premiership, giving home viewers the experience of watching their favorite players almost as if they were right next to them.
• The article humorously mentions the somewhat absurd experiences of trying to watch 3D content, like taping 3D glasses over regular spectacles to watch Jaws 3D on Channel 4.
• Sky had already broadcast a 3D concert featuring the band Keane, which the article suggests may not have been well-received by everyone.
• The writer expresses skepticism about the appeal of watching football in 3D on TV compared to being present at the actual match, questioning the practicality of wearing 3D glasses at home for viewing.

Overall, the article brings up both the excitement and skepticism surrounding the introduction of 3D television for sports broadcasting, particularly for football matches. It humorously touches on the experiences of early attempts at 3D viewing and raises questions about the practicality and preference for such viewing experiences compared to traditional methods.
