Can anyone get a message to the media team to STOP showing replays while the ball is in play.  There were times when we were re-watching innocuous fouls while one or other teams were attacking!!!!!  Doing my head in.

Agreed the Dalek are annoying but also can't they save replays up rather than showing them when play is underway?

I don't think we are in control of that.

The video stream is down to Sky, but I will ask who generates those replay bits.

Quick response, it's not us, it's a central feed.

Thanks for trying anyway Martin.  It was even worse second half!  I get nervous enough watching as it is without knowing what's going on  :)

There were far too many times today when replays impinged on watching the live action.

I've always moaned about Sky Sports doing that, but this today was the worst I've ever seen. Utterly and totally unacceptable.

It was so bad that there were times when you couldn't distinguish between what was live, and what was a replay.

I know it's not Martin's or the Rovers' fault, but there must be a channel of complaint somewhere.

A fabulous end to end game was ruined today by that sh*te with the replays.

Gonna say, you can tell our media team isn't in control of stuff like that because at half time the adverts often cut them off speaking. It'll be a centralised iFollow thing.

I do like the replays as some TV channels don't show enough but they perhaps show too much of things we don't need to see back, like deflections for corners and simple fouls.

WTF!
Charged me £10 even though I had a code now it's saying my details are not valid.
Frankly, don't know why I bother!

E-mail the ticket office, Tracey got back to me and sorted it within minutes when I had a similar problem the other week.
Used link to reset password and finally logged on at 3.25pm. Suzanne has promised to reimburse for charge taken but really doesn't bode well.

Whoever is responsible the replays need sorting. I can't see any fan of any club being happy with it. It wouldn’t be so bad if they stopped the replay after the incident stops but it goes on for an uncomfortable and unnecessary few seconds which, as said above, its hard to distinguish replay from real time play.

I would rather they scrapped the replay altogether if they can't sort it.

The Lincoln forum backs up what you've said there Baz. They were disgusted by what they saw today.

The thing is, was it just our match, or is it happening regularly?

There must be a way of alerting the people who run iFollow of these problems.

Rovers really ought to be doing everything in their power to raise it with the broadcasters and get it fixed.

Did many people have issues watching the match on Tuesday on I follow?

Video was fine for me...there just seems to be an issue with sound every match where it gets progressively worse to the point where they sound like a couple of robots commenting...then it all goes quiet for a split second and they come back crystal clear - almost like they've turned something off and on again ;). Happens once per half on almost every game....

Seems to happen only on home games. The away games have been spot on.

It was happening at Pompey too!

Would it be to much trouble jist to show the replays at half time

The club are raising the issue with the EFL.
