Was OK after 2 1/2 mins in except for the commentary.
Might as well have been reading the text commentary on bbc sport website.
Having no commentary was better than having the away one, 2nd half I did without it. I don't know what has happened with James Fletcher, but he is not the best, but much better than this Fulham guy. Talk about biased, and a poor commentator to boot.
I wondered what I had got at first. He had an Australian twang to his voice. It was only when he talked about 'us' that I realised.
You would have done a better job. It would have confused them when you talked about us though.Wasn't me, honest.
I'm confused! Is this a policy change that UK viewers can see the game or is it a mistake?
I must say I was a bit surprised it was available in the UK. Though I was told categorically by ifollow that the Fulham game wasn't available for overseas. By good fortune, I tried it and it was available, so the info coming out is very questionable.

It is on Sky Sports red button too -- and a bonus feature on Now TV. So if you have Sky Sports (monthly pass only I think) on Now TV you should be able to get it without paying for iFollow.
I think video for UK viewers is normally available for midweek games (and international viewers of course). Normally it's only Saturday 3pm games that aren't.
I keep saying 'normally' as the above is on occasion complicated if the game is chosen as a game for overseas TV, be that Saturday or midweek, in the ' within the agreement' countries, in which case no one can get it other than those 'in' the few non-agreement countries eg Ukraine, Phillipines, etc it's probably not the best time just now to travel to Ukraine just to get ifollow access).
If it's chosen as Sky's main game in UK, then it's not available in UK either.
I think that's it. Clear (as mud)

You are right. The Saturday 3pm games are never available in the UK on ifollow. All of the midweek league games are shown except those that are the main match on Sky or chosen as the international match. Nothing has changed. I'll be logging in at about 7pm to make sure everything is working in plenty of time for kick off. My friend in South Africa will still get the coverage at least a minute before me though! We talk via Wattsapp during the game. It's like going back to being teenagers again at Boothferry Park. It is seriously annoying though that he tells me about the goals before I see them!
