45 minutes is nothing when you are working live. On the football, it's not even 45 minutes. There's (more often than not) warm-ups, then teams out, manager's handshake, 45 minutes of play, walk off the goalscorer(s), THEN break.

 

Then another 45 minutes, followed by on-pitch celebrations / managers shots etc.

 

It is hard work and very tough. Similarly for awards shows and music shows - there just isn't chance to put it down. Stamina and adrenalin get you through.

 

It's good fun, though!

 

Hats off to Bo and the other guys out there, it's tough work. I've seen Mark Ellison and I think Hugh Richards is also out there for us?

 

EDIT: It seems it was the same unlucky Operator whose camera was shouted into by Wayne Rooney (England) who also got spat at by Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) yesterday. Fortunately it wasn't also him who got hit by Heinze! (Argentina). The last thing you need after a long match is for things like that to happen.

I used to run sideline for rugby games, 90min plus pre-match and post-mach iv's, one weekend I had three games in a row, Fri/Sat/Sun.

By the end my thigh mussels were black from internal bruising... I could hardly walk, so I headed straight to the my hotel room's bath, while I could still hobble, yet I heard later the OB head of cams was pissed that I didn't stay back and help roll cables at the end of the last OB. He said I'm not a team guy apparently. Just arrogantly fly in and fly out.

I noticed nobody offered to help me get my rig back to the hotel. :(
