Hi mate, Rob's said because there would be a massive delay from the incident to them seeing it Not sure if it's changed but that's what he said earlier this season when I asked him 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 They were doing today. They were getting replays and correcting themselves or discussing them. Not easy when there is a 30 second delay though. 2 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them knew that the half-time subs do not count towards the 3 in-game substitution stoppages a team can make. Keeping on top of stuff like this should be part of their research into the job they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We should buy them both a beer for having to witness that in the flesh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Nothing against them, but just to brighten up what frankly is an appalling set up in Ifollow, just change the commentators every now and then! Couldnt the club do something as simple as offering someone a chance to commentate on one of the games. People could pay to enter a ‘raffle’ and it could all go to the children’s hospital charity or whatever, and the highest bidder wins. Just another way of trying to improve the experience slightly, and doing something good for a great cause. Just a little thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know this, so is it 2 subs at half time, and then the other 3 make 5 or can you make another 5 after the 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team can make 5 subs a game but can only stop the game to make subs 3 times. Half-time doesn't count as stopping the game to make a change. You cant make more than 5 changes in total.

Got it, so they could do a 1, then 1, then 3, or any multiples of, thanks I really didn't know this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Sexy Rob has been as good as ever. JP on the other hand has been annoying this season with his mostly incorrect rants each game. He comes across as a halfwit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another way of trying to improve the experience slightly, and doing something good for a great cause. Just a little thought. You have no idea how difficult it is to commentate on a game. It's a skill, it's not something the average fan could even come close to doing in a competent way. Good idea to get a fan to do the "colour" work but I'm not sure it would add much. John Pearson is pretty partizan as it stands, what's a fan (who essentially knows f*ck all about the intricacies of the game) going to add? 3 1 Just not bothered...

Holmowl Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Some of their best work was early on. The big clock on the screen said 8 minutes. Cue commentator “...that’s 11 minutes gone now”. 30 seconds later, a free-kick to Stoke “..Wednesday have a two-man wall”. Cameraman focussed on the clear 3 man wall. Quality stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Think Patterson went down and they went through the entire team before saying his name. Even if there is some stream lag, which seems to be about 2-3 minutes, they could review key moments and say 'i've just seen a replay - yes windass should've been sent off' etc...

Guest mkowl Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The commentary is synced to the pictures but ifollow must be 30 seconds to a minute behind actual events. So its tricky because they are effectively doing a radio commentary in real time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWednesday Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Well said mkowl. It is a radio commentary, we don't have the setup that your SKY TV productions, etc have, so any slight mistake is highlighted ten fold. Pairing the sound with the pictures is great to a point, but we don't have access to immediate replays or the ability to double check a monitor if we are unsure of anything. For folks at home watching, an incident might look clear as mud as you have a camera zoomed in on the footage. We are trying to work out what is happening from the top of the South Stand and it isn't always clear!!! We have started using iFollow to check on incidents but like Neil and others have mentioned in this thread, the footage is around 1 minute behind what we are seeing at the time due to the delay.
