owlsruleok Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Time after time we miss the play when ifollow cameramen go to the manager’s or show the last incident when the game has resumed. Why can’t they show it in a small box to either left or right corners of our screens. I find it so frustrating, its just plainly pathetic in this day and age of high tech. We had men in the frigging moon 52 years ago surely they can do the basics on a TV screen. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsontown Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Indeed, why are we watching a replay while the commentators are getting outrageously excited about the action that we can't see? Far from the first time I've noticed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably suffering from eye bleeds and narcolepsy after watching that lot “play football”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A47Owl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Think yourselves lucky. Sky red button has nothing. No replays. One camera. One commentator who doesn't know the players. If you blink and miss an incident then you've had it. Cannot pause, rewind. Sometimes it's a good thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Inexcusable when ifollow do that, when it costs a £10 for the game. Sky has issues and I’d be less bothered because I already pay my subscription anyway, so getting the game is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from the first time I've noticed it. You are 100% right here....the editor is obsessed with replays and close ups of the managers and to top it all the commentator is getting outrageously excited because we’ve crossed the half way line and they only have 9 players behind the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLERTON GHOST Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I follow is the EFL Feed camera Same for all clubs .... The commentators don't even have a monitor at their disposal .. Pearson has mentioned this many times ..... If they miss a moment in play they often rely on fans tweeting the replay for them at half time ... I watched the Blackpool Fleetwood game Saturday and young Daniel Batty cut one of Blackpool's lads in two ... Commentators both missed it spent 10 minutes after the tackle begging someone to send the replay to them via tweet .... I agree it's cheap n nasty in today's technology .. But it's better than nowt ..... We could do with young Batty next season he's a nasty little bugger ..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had men in the frigging moon 52 years ago surely they can do the basics on a TV screen. I've deleted iFollow from my auto renew for next season. It has nothing to do with us being regulated to the 3rd division. I opted out some time ago. The only way for the clown known as Mr. Chansiri is to put our great club up for sale. There is no hope for us to be successful under this useless clown. In this climate, I worry that once regulated, we will not be attractive for a buyer to take us forward. We live in hope for the future. It's in our hands now to force hime out. Season tickets and merchandise is our only way. Sunderland, once a great club dropped 2 leagues and struggling to get back to the championship. That's a lesson we should learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The production is what it is. It's a fair few levels below says a Sky when it's a featured game, though if anyone has watched any of the red games on Sky it isn't far off that tbh. Major gripe for me is the commentary. Pearson cares and what not, but it really is like listening to a fan commentating from the North Stand. I get he's in-house and I'm not expecting Gary Neville levels of analysis, but we don't really get any real analysis. He shouts offside quite a bit and "get in" on the rare occasion we score. As for the other bloke...Jesus Christ. I've described him on a few occasion as sounding like a 15-year old trapped within a 40 year old man's body. Awful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I emailed Ifollow about this months ago, they came back with a really basic replay that didn't even really acknowledge the incident. I noted a number of examples in different matches and they came back saying it was a one off. How thick can you get? Worst one last night was they showed a replay of something and then when it should have cut back to the action, it's panned onto the f*cking Huddersfield manager. Ridiculous.

OWLERTON GHOST Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Don't knock the commentators we have for our games ... I know JP is through and through Wednesday (cut him in half etc etc) But some of the other championship clubs coverage .... I briefly looked at Birmingham's set up a few weeks ago and they had a bloke on who sounded like Tim Spalls "Barry" in Auf Wiedersehen Pet and Jeff Kenna.. These two could have sent a glass eye to sleep!!! There was a moment 20 seconds in play where neither spoke . I thought the TV was playing up and almost blew the speakers after turning the sound up!! .... A lot of the camera work appears to be done by randoms who's last experience of camera work was with "Dad's Cine 8" (you'll do pal) Our " resident cameraman" seems to have a likeness for Wheenies and Glyn's flags and also looking for structural cracks in the North and the crows nest when adjusting focus ....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful I've actually deleted what I was going to say about the commentary team because it was probably kinda hurtful. Rest assured, I share these sentiments, they're bad. As for iFollow production, I think whoever's in charge of that follows a script on how to "document" an incident. Wait for ball to go out of play, throw a couple of replays of the event in, then dwell on a slow-mo replay of one of the people involved's reaction, go back to live-feed. Problem is, they stick to it religiously. I reckon a team could score and they would still be showing the slow mo replay of Bannan pointing rather than end that prematurely and cut back to the live feed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
