Why does Player have a countdown timer and then not start when it gets to zero?

    I'm sick of missing kick off every match, I'm sick of hearing Radio Sheffield advertised and I'm furious that they at times nip to other matches DURING OUR MATCH!!

    Ben if you do read this please do something to sort these problems out. I'd rather the feed accidentally drop for a few seconds than go to our rivals during our commentary.

    5 minutes in and I'm listening to interviews. Why do I pay for Player?

    Just press play. Had mine on for the last 10 minutes with RS build-up.

    Drag the grey circle all the way to the right, SFO Tyke.

    4 minutes into the match and I have finally got it working.

    Does anyone else have to drag the bar all the way to the right and then back a bit to get it to work? I then have to drag it back to the right again to catch up to the commentary. (When I drag it to the left there are interviews with Lee and what not that I couldn't hear at the time).

    No commentary though. They've got another match.

    I had pressed play plenty of times. I have to drag the circle all the way to the right, back left and then all the way to the right again. (It sometimes takes a few attempts for this to work).

    Refreshed my browser and now I have the commentary. What a stupid setup.

    I just logged in and pressed play and off it went. Weird how different people get different results. Still miss our 2 lads though on the commentary.

    It really is terrible now. I thought the worst bit would be the change in commentators (which is also horrible) but I didn't expect all these other problems too.

    It's not worked properly for me yet. I also miss being able to click the 'prefer old commentary, click here' for real time commentary rather than the few seconds delay.

    At two minutes to three I do NOT want to be listening to Nigel bloody Adkins droning on about his team.

    Barnsley Player, not SHEFFIELD player. Not heard much of this new service so far this season but not impressed with it so far.

    I suppose there is no chance of going back to what we had so we are stuck with it

    Every time it automatically refreshes, it switches from the League One results to the Premiership.

    What about a Settings option to show what the user wants to see.

    I've noticed that too. To be fair, they're never updated anyway so it doesn't really matter.

    I've spoken to you about the delay before, it really does my head in. I hardly ever hear a goal in real time, by the time I hear it on the commentary I've usually seen it on various live scores websites, and received numerous texts and WhatsApps from friends about it.

    My renewal is due in October. I'll give it another couple of games but the way things are I'll probably be cancelling. I've really enjoyed it in the past, and I've defended it to the hilt on here, but it's just not the same any more.

    Exactly, it's annoying me to the point where I might cancel my subscription in protest. I want BFC to realise that I am not happy with the service and the only way I can do that is if the number of subscriptions fall. Now, I still want to listen to our matches of course so I'm half tempted to sign up to someone else's Player as you can still view any club's content. Yes, I know that's a shitty move but so is sacking our commentators and forcing Barnsley fans to listen to Sheffield United matches DURING our match.

    I'm not keen on the live coverage either, not that I have heard much of it due to being at a lot of matches already. The thing is though I DO like the highlights packages and full match replays, and the player interviews etc that are available so, from that point of view, I will renew next month.

    I really don't like the Radio Sheffield takeover though, same as everyone else. I wonder if it will be possible to protest so much that they put it back to what we had before? Probably no chance :mad:

    9 seconds after the half time whistle we get to listen to the Sheff Weds match - oh the joy!

    Stop moaning!

    It's much better quality commentary than last year, and a much better service than last year overall. Better to listen to this at half time than nothing...

    I preferred nothing personally. Although saying that, it wasn't nothing was it? We used to have a 5min summary of OUR match. I can't say I find a single thing better about the service this year.
