Now I notice that, again, on Saturday, there is only the choice of the Fleetwood commentary or a very out of sync Pompey commentary by the commentary team watching iFollow and then broadcasting on Express/iFollow with the normal 5 second delay.
iFollow were not interested when I contacted them, seemingly it’s a Pompey matter (and there’s no price reduction either)
Apparently the Pompey commentary team can’t travel to away games as it is seen as ‘an unnecessary journey’, am I right in thinking that Sky commentaries are still in real-time from the grounds where the games are being played ie the Sky commentators are not seen as making ‘an unnecessary journey’ ?
If I am right, it’s a bit more of the ‘Them and Us’ which permeates football ?
The club has issued info on this ... they will be doing home commentary from the studio from the tv pictures which will be available on the Ifollow audio and on the radio, but will be out of synch with the pictures so only the home commentary will be available with the pictures.
Nothing the club or Ifollow can do about it so no point complaining.
I'll be quite happy with the pictures anyway ... you don't get commetary when you attend games live.
It can only be a matter of time before all football becomes an unnecessary journey. The number of players going down with Covid is increasing week by week.
