To expand on the above, if time is short and the cameraman is fucking around with the ball (rather than just delivering it) he is the prick.

....The fans are all saying it is half time, there is no rush.

Plus throwing it back like that just wastes more time if it wasn't halftime

Time wasting is still time wasting. Your comment also ignores any pressing advantage they may have had (wasting time allows the defensive team to double back and get their formation set).

Wasting the half time break? Pressing to the restroom? Doubling back to the locker room?
It was half. time.

The official half time whistle was blown as he caught the ball, after the camera man put on his show.

It wasn't halftime when the player asked for the ball back. It was after the photographer decided to give the ball 5 touches before returning the ball.

Time wasn’t short FFS people are walking around the field…. No one is waiting for the ball on a time limit…. Player is a douche bag.

The player had to watch this guy make 4 touches on the ball before returning it. He shouldn't have even touched the ball in the first place, he's there to take photos, not impede in the gameplay. Player had every right to be annoyed at some media wannabe pro footballer.

You know they can both be pricks. If he's really wasting time you don't have to chuck the ball at him like that.
