TheBigDog Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 I know that this is a free service but it simply does not work well enough. The picture constantly freezes and when the camera moves the players become blurred and pixelated. I presume that the club is aware of this? Is is it because I watch on iPad (I do have a decent broadband signal) or is it just a generally poor? Coupled with the hilarious posting of false scores which just compounded the bad experience I simply gave up after 10 minutes. It was only a friendly I know but incredibly frustrating.

Blue_Guru Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It's better than nothing imo but if that is what people abroad are expected to pay for in the season then it wouldn't be worth the outlay. Too frustrating I agree. The main issue for me is the distortion when the camera pans, I have ultra fibre broadband and it still happened to me so more likely the upload connection at the grounds. It did freeze a few times but use ally worked when reopening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We complain that they don't try new things so we need to encourage them when they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will improve if they broadcast any of the remaining friendlies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I wouldn't think this is anything the club have control over. It's probably Facebook issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) As for the match, an excellent performance from McLaughin who sent over a stream of inviting crosses, of which only one was attacked by Holloway for the goal. McLaughin looks very sharp and could well go on to higher things IMO. The Curzon goal was from a corner kick, which should have been prevented then cleared. Of the second string I thought Edmondson was good, but he needs to work on his timing when challenging fo headers, he has s a habit if making himself smaller than he is by stooping. I'm sure the coaches will be aware of this and will work on it. Edited July 19, 2017 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will see his emergence this season and be fending off bids in Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) WhatsApp isn't really ideal for sharing video with an open and changing audience of several hundred, presumably. Edited July 19, 2017 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinevillawill Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I don't think anyone's knocking the club for trying something new, especially when it's free, but last night was unwatchable, and Stalyvegas with no sound and Salisbury weren't much better.

It was watchable for me. By no means perfect but better than doing nothing on a Tuesday night. I think the problem is there are so many variables at play and not everyone is technically savvy, or willing, to make it better viewing for themselves and just point fingers at the club.
