Barnsley fc player....

Never been in to it but a feel am missing out, what's it all about, how much etc etc?
Cheers

 

Less than a pound a week live commentary of every game, with the option to listen to oppositions commentary if you really want to, and you can watch all the games in full after, the extended highlights, plus all the interviews, including exclusives from players. Deffo worth the money. This isn't guerilla advertising either!!

 

yes! I have been watching Keith Hills interview on Dale Player for a laugh!!

 

I think it's fantastic, as the others have said... live commentary every match, short highlights and extended highlights, full match avaiable to watch day after, pre and post match interviews with Flicker and players. Excellent value for money! Pretty certain they're doing a free trial at the min so you should sign up for that and that'll give you a better idea. As everyone's said too it's not just limited to Barnsley so you can log onto other teams to if you want/listen to any Championship match live.

 

It's not bad, although the official highlights of each game on there are cringeworthy simply because of the commentary.

You generally get one of three blokes all with their own annoying speech habits trying to sound as if they are commentating on the game as it happened when in fact they are just recording over the highlights video. It's so obvious, especially in cases where the ball is pinging around and ends up in the net, they immediately know the name of the scorer when even the most ardent of fans would need two or three looks to work it out. They also notice the slightest of deflections which just makes it a laughable attempt to appear as if it's a live commentary. If they just summarised it would be a lot better.

 

It's great! Sign up & feel the love!

 

I'm sure I heard somewhere that ...

the club gets £50 for every fan that signs up. At that rate its almost our duty to join and bring coffers into the club.

All aspects of the service have improved greatly over the last two years but the Live commentary is the Jewel in the Crown.

 

Hi Judith

I have been a member of Barnsley Player this season and it is very good value!

I work every Saturday and so can listen to the live commentary on my laptop, and so can my kids on their laptops (only 7 and 10, bless 'em but both been mascots etc).

I can also watch highlights or the whole match on Sundays, plus interviews etc (never had time to watch the whole match!!).

My only complaint is that the live commentary is about 30 seconds behind (as per comparing it to 5Live last night).

I, and all the above posters, can thoroughly recommend it.

 

Does access work ok on Android?

 

Full Matches and extended highlights are from the commentary team for us, but the normal highlights that player uploads are with the dodgy commentators.

 

No, sorry but I think you're wrong, Andytyke.

There are different people commentating on the video highlights and on Barnsley Player.

 

The full match is the proper commentary that we hear on match day's - the official football league branded highlights that come on there is basically 'fake' commentary.

 

I have it but can't seem to find live match day commentary on the mobile. I have a iphone , is it the football league app
That I need?

 

Yeah that's what I had to use, although for Palace I could only get the away commentary which was driving me nuts!

 

Yeah you need the football league app, although I had some problems with it for the Leicester match. It cut off at half time then the 'play' button completely disappeared after!

 

Speaking as someone who remembers life before the internet, player is a fantastic resource for us to follow the club's fortunes and to archive and make accessible matches & interviews, What's not to love? I'd have given my hind teeth to have this when Glavin was laiking!!
