    If I have to be thanked one more time for "subscribing to iFollow" I might go mad!!

    It's on on mine but it's poor quality. Sounds like when you haven't quite tuned in the radio correctly

    Agreed, it reminds me of Neil Armstrong speaking from the moon "One small step for Andy, one giant leap for Angus"

    Sound quality is fine on mine. Maybe it is a service provider issue (ie speed of connection?) I'm on superfast Virgin cable

    It drove me completely potty against Rotherham. Husband had just been on hold to Vodafone for an hour and half on loud speaker and it sounded the exact same as being in a queue with the 'your call is very important to us' etc.

    Same here. It just sounds a bit like someone on the end of a rubbish phone line.

    I thought that last week too against Rotherham, I ended up listening to their commentary which was much clearer.

    I had it turned down to minimum volume but the message was still there, worming its way into my head. I suppose the answer is that in future wait until two minutes to kick off to switch it on?

    Yes, same here. Sound quality not the best I have to admit.
    Great to hear Matt commentating though.

    There will be more build up when I have a summariser, otherwise 5 minutes is enough to hear me waffling on.
    The sound quality issue has come up a few times so I'll look into that, I don't think it's our isdn box so it may be a problem at the service provider's end.

    Is the commentary starting and ending down to you starting and ending it or is it ifollow who does that automatically? Only after the game you were summing up and it ended mid sentence.

    Great commentary by the way. How much harder or easier is it when there is only one of you?

    Ok, thanks for the response. I'm not one to complain about Player coverage - quite the opposite - but it would be nice if each "programme" had some kind of structure. In other words you log in at 1445 or whatever and the show starts. I got annoyed with being thanked for subscribing within about thirty seconds so I had to turn the volume right down. Not knowing when your bit is going to kick in is not ideal - I might have missed some pearls of wisdom had I not heard you start talking a few minutes before kick off.

    I totally agree with you - even though I'm not particularly renowned for my pearls of wisdom ;)

    If I have a summariser alongside me the coverage will normally start 15 minutes prior to kick-off, otherwise it will be 5 mins before.

    Thanks pal - your alien race has obviously kidnapped SuperTyke and replaced him with someone who is reasonable and complimentary :D

    I've just been told to count in before I start and try and finish on the scoreline, so if I'm cut short it will be via the server.

    I prefer having a summariser as it gives me a breather and also adds a different perspective, but you do get a better feel for the flow of the game by working solo.

    The first time I heard you count in I thought you hadn't realised you were live :D
