Southend 1 Morecambe 2 [Wildig, Phillips] LIVE Thread

[Sakhalin Shrimp]

Using my laptop and Google Chrome, for the 2nd game running, I had a perfect picture until the players were making their way onto the pitch then it just started constant buffering and I had to log out and watch from my iPad. Seems a bit strange and coincidental that it happened at the same point on two occasions. Are iFollow blocking certain web browsers (No, I'm not using a VPN Keith)

Might be worth doing some speed tests, to see what you are getting?

Does the speed drop/vary much? Could be contention rates, perhaps other people in the area coming on line to watch football too? Do you have unlimited mobile data? Try setting your phone to a mobile hotspot and join that if you are getting buffering, even if only to see if it is cured, so you can begin to isolate where the problem is?

Do you have another browser on the computer? Try installing Firefox or Opera?

I have used Chrome (on a Mac) without any problems although generally I use Safari.

I’ve not done a speed test yet but the iPad streams the match perfectly on the WiFi without any buffering.

I have 8 gig data on my mobile, I connected my laptop to my mobile hotspot and there was no difference, still a constant whirly wheel.

Not a criticism of the lad, thought he had a good game overall, but an own goal in your 1st game for your new club after 5 mins, obviously would have felt “nightmare “ to him. Happy to use whatever description you feel relevant. Hope he starts Sat.

Fair enough, yes a 'nightmare' in terms of the last thing you'd want to happen on a debut, rather than it being a mistake.

I could be wrong , but without checking I have a feeling that Morecambe have never lost at Southend.

Maybe MarkyNo1 or another Anorak could check but is it all wins apart from a 1-1 draw and no defeats ?

Didn't they beat us in the FA Cup at The Mazuma? I think that is their only victory, home or away?

So those of us who are not iFollow subscribers have to rely on YouTube to see match details and post match comments by our excellent manager, that is despite that last season and seasons before post match comments and edited highlights were available to everybody.

It looks to me that once again the EFL cares little for the average man in the street preferring to provide only a service via iFollow is one is prepared to pay for it. Well stuff that.....

Not sure if anybody watched the Culture Minister on the Andrew Marr show yesterday morning but the way he squirmed out of answering questions concerning the lack of entry to games giving the usual excuse that negotiations are taking place whilst his non answer to the point made about being able to go to pubs and restaurants was side stepped in usual Government speech.

For me politicians of all colours haven't a clue about the dire financial needs of clubs at our level and basically couldn't give a toss relying on the Premiership to bail out their lower cousins which if the current talks between the EFL and the Premiership continue to be at stalemate doesn't argue well for the future at our level for a growing number of clubs especially those who have huge playing budgets which in our case with a much smaller budget could be a blessing in disguise.

It’s not ideal at the present time, the problems are not yet ironed out. The YouTube thing will be looked at as there are a few ideas floating about.
Also
I’ve been rattling on about the IFollow feed now being dodgy for some, and it appears now that if you have poor internet, less than 50meg seems to be the minimum where it works, and also the browser issues are frequently brought into it. Both these issues I flagged up after the first game at Grimsby, and both still apply!
So before having a pop at IFollow, please take these couple of things into consideration.
There are people watching and listening most games in Canada, the US, Peru, Australia and mainland Europe in the same real time as fans in this country, who haven’t so far met with too many problems.
I appreciate it’s failing some, but as a couple have found out, the issue has been with their broadband or equipment, not IFollow itself.

So far (touch wood) I follow has been excellent for me , picture quality and even the commentary albeit a few seconds out of sync . The only game I have had problem with was the Newcastle game which kept buffering , commentary was way out and Sky was way in front of it .
