  1. As a follow-up to my post of 21 August…….after 2 more emails I was offered a full refund but my queries were not addressed. I looked at Luton’s ifollow site a few minutes ago. An ifollow video subscription costs 125.50 pounds (for Australian viewers). Rovers tv costs 170 pounds. Luton ifollow has highlights, extended highlights or full replay of the Rovers game already advertised as available. Full match replays are available for earlier matches in their archive. Only live streaming is offered by Rovers tv…….but not, of course, the Luton game due to contractual obligations with Sky and partners. I don’t think we will get to see it at all. Rovers have dropped ifollow to increase their profits. Not only have they ramped up the price of a subscription but they have drastically reduced the breadth of service. All at the expense of loyal, international fans. I think it’s disgusting.
  2. Apparently the Blackpool game was scheduled for broadcast but it was swapped for the Rovers game at the last minute. I wonder if the ‘full match’ replay will be available?
  3. Watch a replay if you can. You won’t find it odd then. Brereton was below par too. Check out the player ratings feature. It’s excellent.
  4. Sorry my friend but if you do get to see a replay you will agree with those “harsh” posters. He’s had plenty of time on the pitch, today he was in his favoured position and he was embarrassing. I never want to see him start again.
  5. Why on Earth did Mowbray keep Gallagher on the pitch? Poor touch repeatedly, poor decisions, poor energy, poor finishing. Worst performance of a Rovers player for a long time. I knew he was limited but this was the pits.
  6. Middle part of the game was embarrassing to watch…..they strolled up to our box with ease….time and again. Brereton was poor and made nothing of his 3 chances, Travis was the worst I’ve seen him….poor passing throughout. God knows how many were at fault for their goal…..total shambles. Apart from that Ayala was a rock…..playing a captain’s role. Buckley made a difference when he came on; playing 2 delightful balls just after he arrived. Dolan was awful….dispossessed time and again as he ran himself into trouble. Both reds were soft I thought.
  7. Yes, poor across the park in midfield. Great goal but both Gallagher and Brereton have put us real danger when”helping out” at the back. I thought Gallagher was gonna give a penalty late on. Typical scuffed Brereton chance on the break when he should have scored. Carter needs saving from their left winger.
  8. Still no reply to my email. (See above).
  9. An update: I sent this email to Rovers TV on 18 August: I have not received an answer or explanation to my last query. I asked you to confirm that FULL MATCH REPLAYS would be available via the 170 pound international subscription. Alex D assured me that they would. So I paid the 170 pounds but there is no sign of any replays except for the U23 match v Everton………or old replays from pre-season……and even full replays from last season! Ifollow always allowed this facility …..which is essential to us (Australian) viewers as kick off times are in the middle of the night! Even the “extended highlights” feature has been removed. It seems that I have been misled. Rovers TV has reduced the service while charging a premium price. Is there some contractual reason why these replays are unavailable? I look forward to your response. I have not received a reply as yet.
  10. No reply to my last email SanDimas but I’ll keep chasing.
  11. I have used ifollow in the past and, similar to our NZ based friend BRFC4EVA, I need access to full match replays. Before shelling out my 170 pounds for the international subscription I tried to get an assurance from Rovers TV that they were included. Here is my email: I live in Australia and previously purchased an ifollow pass to watch Rovers games. I was able to watch live matches or I could also watch full match replays on “catch up”. It is not clear whether the full match catch ups are available via the 170 pound international pass. (Games here kick off at midnight or 1 am so live viewing is not always convenient.) Please confirm that I will be able to view full match replays with the international pass. Thank you I received this reply: Thanks for the email. Yes, live and on-demand are included in your pass. Kind regards, Alex D Either there is a temporary blip or his reply was misleading. I am following it up.
  12. I thought bbd was poor except for his one moment of magic. Ayala was mom. IMHO of course.
  13. Thanks SanDimas. The 170 pound subscription is the one i’m looking at. I had the full ifollow in previous years. if I follow you so far: the full Swansea and Morecambe games cannot (as yet) be replayed “on demand”via the full (170 pound) deal. Let’s hope this is a temporary blip…
  14. Thanks SanDimas. I’ve written to Roverstv but no reply yet. On the free subscription, at the moment, I notice that last season’s games and (full match) friendlies are available “on demand”. I doubt this will continue….the Swansea and Morecambe matches aren’t there. The new system’s FAQs refer only to live broadcasts, there’s no mention of “On demand” full replays as far as I can see. If anyone knows different, please post a reply.
  15. A question for those who bit the bullet and paid the 170 pound subscription. I’m still dithering! Are you able to access a full match replay of the Swansea game? it’s not clear whether full replays will be available as far as I can see. Here in Oz matches kick off at midnight or 1 am so I won’t always want to watch live!
  16. I’m not a big Armstrong fan, he’s overrated I agree but I have to give him his due.....he’s scored a few this season. That wasn’t really my point though. Watching the game I couldn’t see us scoring from anywhere. I nearly fell off my chair when we scored a header.......no.....when Sam scored a header. It helped that he was being marked by someone a foot shorter. But who else ever looks like scoring? Buckley (twice) and BB had attempted shots, in the first half, which barely reached their goalie. Rothwell, Evans and even Holtby suffer nose bleeds when they get into shooting territory. There never seems to be anyone smart enough or willing enough to throw themselves into the box.......just on the off-chance that the cross will be a good un. When we make chances there isn’t a decent finisher. Gallagher doesn’t do it for me; he’s had some real shockers. OK, what I really mean....he’s a waste of money..........as, I fear, is BB. As a Rovers fan I’ve been here before.....lots of times; wondering where the next goals are going to come from.
  17. Trouble is Dave......looks like he’s the only guy that can put the ball in the net more than rarely. I thought Lenihan had a great final quarter though. Some ‘proper’ robust challenges.
  18. Good grief! Brereton was awful. He looked knackered from the first minute. On 42 min. I almost put my foot through the tv as our commentators debated how well he’d played!
