As you say it must be difficult for the players and management but I suppose they just love to manage and play football and probably what keeps them going in these trying times.

Agree about Scott Davies, being local to where he lives I suppose it suits both parties.

Yes but that must be wearing very thin indeed, in this strange season.

When I first logged on the coverage wasn’t ‘smooth’ but very stop start. I did log out at half time as suggested and noticed a small improvement but for me it was still tricky following the balls movement.

Exactly my experience too, very sticky when there was movement which made the 1st half borderline unwatchable. Only slightly better 2nd half. Saw others on Twitter said the same too. Don’t want to be critical as it was an excellent price and Ade’s commentary was great, but sadly not a good watch.

On a side point, do people really get offended by hearing a manager using swear words on the touch line?

[GlenSTFC]

I just hope the stream is a little smoother on Tuesday otherwise it’s not worth watching because it’s too hard to follow! I wonder if the current low price will stay or is just a promotion to entice more to watch? Regarding the swearing it’s part of football rightly or wrongly and no one should be shocked about it. Unfortunately with no crowd noise it’s obviously a lot clearer and frequent.

Thanks to all who have provided feedback on the stream. We have been in regular discussion with FCV over the past few days and will be making a few tweaks to improve the service for Tuesday which will hopefully increase the "smoothness" of the picture. 

Also hoping to have replays functioning by then as well, but focus will be getting the main picture as good as possible.

Thanks for your efforts Gary, much appreciated.

Just watched the match highlights.

Not sure who edits the highlights, possibly FC video, but for some reason they've left the penalty incident out.

One swear word out of every 2 words? I expect to hear swearing, it's a given at football, just not as much as that and through my headphones! Credit to most management teams who can oversee without going over the top.

Saw highlights on You Tube, which included the penalty incident. 100% not a penalty imo.

Just watched the highlights on youtube which shows action replays and behind the goal cam which are an excellent addition.

Have to say the penalty was 100% not a penalty and I would actually go as far as to say it was a foul on Jack Turner with the player crashing into Jack.

Some rose tints on here chaps? Very poor communication between Turner and Togwell which given the length of time they have played together is very disappointing leads to a non-commitment by Turner in goal to catching the ball. The collision then looked like a penalty to me after the striker gets to the ball first (and if it had happened at the other end I would have 100% been shouting for a pen to us). Luckily it wasn't the deciding point of the game.

Certainly no rose tinted specs with me SF.

I've looked at it quite a few times and I just think the player has clattered into Jack.

I am glad that such an expert as you has come to that conclusion, RR.

It seemed to me that they both reached the ball at the same time and if two players are running towards the ball from opposing directions, there is an unavoidable collision. I felt that Yusuff made sure that he fell heavily.

Expert  

It's only an opinion and could well be wrong.

 

[SloughFlyer]

As an opinion it can't be wrong RR? (except in this case it is wrong as the ref gave a pen?)

Only in the refs opinion SF

Interesting reading the Ebbsfleet write up on tonight's game.

Apparently they haven't been to Arbour Park since 2001 and it'll be another trip to Middlesex for them.
