  1. Hmm... not sure.. I don't see 'Listen Live' right now. When I'm logged in and I click on match centre from the 'matches' area I see this. The 'Access to live commentary on iFollow will be available here shortly before kick-off' changes to the two options I mentioned. Listen Live and Watch. Not sure when it changes but I believe it to be very close to kick off. If you're in the UK or Ireland you'll only see one option - Listen Live. If you're overseas and you have the appropriate subscription plan you will see both options. I'm using Chrome browser.
  2. Also - if you want tech support you'll typically find a 'live chat' option on matchdays. It appears as a hovering speech bubble in the browser at the bottom right on matchdays. (when in match centre)
  3. The way to get to the live streamed match is to click on match centre (when it's matchday) and then from match centre there are typically 2 options. 'Listen Live' and 'Watch Live' (above the play button bar). I learned last week that it's possible to have two browser windows open - one with the audio stream and one with the live stream. If you pause the live video stream until the audio stream is in sync it's great
  4. Some player ratings Ben Wilson - 5/10 Distribution was generally OK on a very windy day. Couldn't be expected to save Wigan's first but better communication and compusure may have prevented Wigan's second. A couple of regulation saves, along with a generous manager appraisal may build some much needed confidence. Dummigan - 5/10 A willing runner but too often the cause of lost attacking momentum by taking an easy backwards pass. Looks a different player to the marauding wing-back seen during his initial loan spell. Clarke - 4/10 A dismal start to the season continues for Latics' captain. Took the physical battle to Wigan today and made a couple of key interceptions but could perhaps have marshaled the defense better for the first (stopped the short corner / cross) and definitely for the second. Gerrard - 4/10 A lackluster performance. Struggled with the speed of the Wigan forwards. Hunt - 4/10 Looked lost in midfield. Not quick enough to exploit attacking opportunities and didn't prevent Wigan from playing through midfield in the first half. Would have been better at leftback. Brian Wilson - 4/10 Not a left back but performed the most basic of defensive duties. Failed to get forward throughout the game. Banks - 4/10 Unable to hold onto possession in the first half. Tackle shy and lacking fight. A back heeled shot the flamboyant highlight of a performance which didn't get the basics right. Gardner - 6 A measured debut as a holding / deep lying play maker. Moved the ball well and looked to bring players into the game in useful positions. Holloway - 3 Cut an isolated figure for 60 minutes and wasn't able to hold onto possession. Wasn't ever in a threatening position when a cross came in. Kyeremeh - 6 An enthusiastic debut from a tricky player with a very low centre of gravity; showed glimpses of skill and ability but also struggled with the pace of the game at times. McLaughlin - 7 Stand out performer. Had the beating of the left back aerially. Troubled the Wigan defense with attacking runs and put in a number of excellent crosses, albeit to an empty penalty area. Osei - 5 Got involved and offered a different challenge for the Wigan defense. Lacked composure after getting into some useful positions. Duffus - 3 Needs to show more to earn a place in the starting eleven. Out muscled and had little impact on the game. Fawns - N/A A useful cameo. Sheridan - 3 Up against it today against quality opposition. Made a number of decisions which contributed to the scoreline. A relatively negative home formation (4-1-4-1) which invited pressure with Wigan having little to no worries from a lone isolated striker. A number of failed experiments with Wilson in at leftback and Hunt pushed into midfield. Persevering with one up front for the whole of the first half was questionable. Seemingly asked the team to pass the ball out even when Wigan were pressing hard - admirable but also doesn't account for our current squad's ability levels.
  5. I watched the game using iFollow / NordVPN and it worked like a charm on both the ioS app and on Win 10. Shame about the 2nd half performance though.
  6. It's working for me but horrible interlacing issues when the camera pans:
  7. Sorry if this one has already been posted re: David Mellor: http://www.nwemail.co.uk/Barrow-AFC-midfielder-faces-heart-tests-after-fainting-episode-4ed520bc-5170-4bf5-b334-33e4487ed39e-ds
  8. Is it possible to point me in the direction of the article / interview which mentions the 'now have a bit of momentum' part of your quote?
  9. I don't live in Oldham so make of this what you will: http://www.lgcplus.com/Journals/2012/03/21/g/u/x/lgcawardswinners_txt_reduced.pdf- pg 11 http://www.lgcplus.com/Journals/2014/03/20/a/z/k/The-2014-Awards-Winners-Supplement.pdf- pg 13 http://www.oldham.gov.uk/press/article/574/independent_review_hails_oldham_councils_remarkable_transformation- peer review can be downloaded at the bottom of the article It also appears overall satisfaction with the council has increased from 22% in 2008 to 65% in the 2015 survey (still lower than national average but looks like it's going in the right direction)
  10. I'm happy; Crofty is quality. With Forte (left) and Crofty (right) we will be a threat on the wings.
  11. Seems a little harsh to leave out James Wilson. I wouldn't have voted for him as number one but he'd be above Mills and Elokobi for me.
  12. When does the 3-5-2 experiment stop? We used it during pre-season against Barrow and we were shockingly poor. We've used it towards the start of the season in the league and not shown any sign of improvement. We've used it again today and rightly been punished by a side struggling for form - the tactics actually looked worse today than in any previous match. Why the substitutions didn't come in the first half at 2-0 (or even 1-0) I don't know. LJ has to shoulder a lot of the responsibility for this one for: 1) Trying to be too clever and picking tactics we aren't able to execute 2) Being too arrogant / stubborn to change it early enough when we might still have turned it around. Rant over - at least we're still up there and can be a capable side when the tactics are right.
  13. I've only seen Dieng in central defence once (think it was at Barrow) and he didn't win very many headers and looked quite uncomfortable. However, I think he's passed the ball quite well when I've seen him play in midfield. For that reason I'd stick with him playing infront of defence with the hope it allowed the more attack minded midfield players to get forward. Can't see this team ever happening as it would mean captain Kelly would be dropped. Rachubka B Wilson Kusunga J Wilson Elokobi Dieng Winchester Jones Dayton JCH Forte
  14. As the rules are written, that isn't a red card as he hasn't denied a goal. Personally I think it's a joke that it isn't a red card - I think it should be. But the FA have applied their own rules correctly. http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/laws-of-the-game/11-v-11/interpretation-of-laws---2013-14/law-12---interpretations-of-the-laws-of-the-game.ashx
