No it's not, it really is not. Holloway will play the most out of all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Very enjoyable evening out. We never really had to break sweat and could have been 4 up by half time. Banks was guilty of some dreadful passing at times, but there wasn't a lot to complain about. Impossible to judge Peacock-Farrell; he had nothing to do. Made one routine save to a weak grass cutter after half an hour, caught a couple of crosses and that was about it. Mantack had a decent second half, Tope was a handful, Davies worked hard, Fane got stuck in (a bit too hard at times), Green and Dummigan worked well together. It was basically a training session, but some very good signs. On the one occasion they broke through, how did their striker not score when only P-F to beat from 6 yards. It was hilarious, particularly as he even gave Gerrard sufficient time to get back from nowhere to keep him out. Great banter with some of the Salisbury fans and made to feel very welcome.

b0ndl1ne Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I hope the stream is better for league games than these 2 friendlies. I got up at 4:30am last night and it wasn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were part of something that will better as time goes on, in later years you will tell your grandchildren with great fondness you were one of the first to watch a live facebook internet stream of a football match.

Crusoe Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 The quality wasn't great - although I've watched games on TV and streamed over the internet that looked worse - but the opportunity to see a PSF that I would otherwise never have seen is still much appreciated.

Won't be able to see what the lad is capable of. Hopefully, Swindon and Curzon will be stronger tests for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 In fairness, P-F stood pretty tall and didn't give the kid a lot of room but, once the lad got round him, he should have put it away. And would have done, but for the lightning speed of Gerrard's recovery to block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Does anyone technical know if it was the quality of the camera, or the fact it was through Facebook v a website? I presume it was our camera. It seemed more of an issue whent he camera was panning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was alarmed how the defence was split open, still with different defensive partnerships it would be difficult to gel at this stage.

I don't have fibre and the players turned into horizontal stripes. Perhaps that may not happen with a fibre connection. The camera work was very jerky again, most likely that is down to the quality of the camera. At least we had decent sound this time, I suppose after watching football on TV all this time we expect the same from this. I kept expecting a replay after a goal. I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to add commentary. However a decent attempt from the club, no doubt practicing for the live league broadcasts.

No need for commentary, much better listening to Shez shouting at Banks and Mantack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I've got mid range fibre, so possibly that was an issue, and over wireless network so maybe that was partly the issue, and up to the larger screen. I did enjoy hearing Shez! Its quite interesting when the management team is pretty much all you can hear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinevillawill Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It will be more down to upload speeds at their end than download speeds at your end. They may also have chosen a lower streaming resolution to minimise glitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
