A few changes there

[fulwoodshrimp]

Would be surprised if this line up can beat Notts County. Who is going to get the goals? Hope I am wrong!

[tim-sanchez]

Come on Morecambe! Unfortunately still no commentary with the video for me, so I'll just have to watch it. Tried Notts County as well and no luck

[drretro]

Morning Folks!

Just finished blowing snow around and about to tune into the commentary.

[Zippy]

Working well in russias oldest city
Quite impressive for a 5 spot

[Zippy]

No commentary though

[Keith]

Unfortunately, as with Tim, the cock-wombles at iFollow continue to insist that we either listen or watch, but not listen AND watch, so no Freez again today because I'm watching.

[Zippy]

Ok thank first time using it

[Keith]

Far too easy.

[Freez]

If you would bother to read my thread a couple of weeks ago, ITS NOT IIFOLLOWS fault for the third time!!

[Keith]

Nice finish but yet more soft defending. No Morecambe shots on target that I recall, so it could be a long game.

[fulwoodshrimp]

Poor team selection by the management. No chance of beating Notts County. Is it a ploy to keep some players fresh for the Yeovil six pointer?

[Keith]

Some nice build up play for the last ten minutes or so, but apart from a header that was reasonably easily saved, no real threat. Their keeper has had a lot more touches than Barry but they've all been straight forward.

If our build up could lead to someone who knows where the goal is, we'd be doing fine. But we haven't.

[drretro]

Well this is... something else.

I hopped in a shower, the app died on me (anyone else find that iFollow on/and/or the Morecambe app is very buggy), and we're down 2-0 when I get out. Come on, lads! Shake off that Christmas pudding.

(Says the guy who had half a bottle of Port last night.)

I read your comment and I have contacted iFollow. It doesn't seem to be their fault that the audio isn't on the video, which you said could be coming in future. However, it is their fault that we can't now listen to the audio on tab and video on another, they have admitted as much to me. They claim this counts as having two separate logins watching concurrently, which the T&Cs don't allow.

So it isn't their fault we can't have both on the video, but it does seem to be their fault we can't have two tabs open like we used to (at least according to their live chat rep). It would be nice for them to re-enable this in the interim until commentary is enabled on the video itself.

Lang scored on saturday at Mansfield, and he drops to the bench

[Freez]

Yes I know, I'm commentating on it!!

[Keith]

What is this new nonsense of uncontested drop balls? We have possession near the touchline, almost in line with the edge of the penalty area. Ref blows so that their lad can get treatment (rolling around holding his head on half way line). We restart with an uncontested drop ball. Their lad takes three or four touches before hoofing it towards Barry. We'd have been better contesting the drop ball, at least it would keep pressure on them. Is this an FA directive that drop balls aren't fought over?

[Keith]

Exactly. They take the money, so it is up to them to fix it. Failing that, leave the 'work around' of two tabs until they can fix it properly.

[Keith]

So as it is half time, is Mr Potatohead having a wonderful time watching a football match that has a 0-2 scoreline or a horrible time watching a football match that has a 0-2 scoreline?

Mrs F is a very happy bunny at the moment!

[fulwoodshrimp]

The only rationale for the team selected today is to rest players like Lang for Friday's encounter and the acceptance that we have no chance of beating Notts County. These are troubling times.

[drretro]

Exactly. They take the money, ...

And this is a good point. Regardless of who's fault it is, we paid for a service and are now getting less of a service. It could be debated, of course, exactly what we should have had access to in the first place, but that should have been worked out well before people started paying and setting expectations.

[Freez]

Tim, it does count as two logins according to the EFL, it the clubs who have complained to the EFL who have instructed them to stop allowing it, according to the management company.
There are plans to allow the two together from late January or February, rolled about as one, so operating from one stream, with the commentary button in the bottom left of the screen on the picture, apparently.
I do take your point about it being allowed and then not, however it's not our or IFollows fault. Hopefully this will be sorted out soon.

Looking forward to this. And I'd hate to be in the development team working on that. There's nothing worse than a "drop everything because we need you to fix our oversight" situation. (Been there...)
