    It's just cut off for adverts again while people are speaking.

    Does it do this for audio subscribers too?

    Just curious.

    No, no adverts on audio. They pee me off on video though.

    Just done it again at half time. I have got used to expect it then, but wasn't expecting it in the build up.

    Don't worry. They weren't saying anything worth listening to...

    Same. Thank you though as it's been annoying me all season and it was only when you asked your question that I realised I can click to audio at half time and full time to listen to the commentary and have the video on during match time.

    At least I didn't pay £249 for this, so the constant adverts are a fair way of generating revenue.

    Fvck off, iFollow.

    You know how to push me into a rant.- As you know THAT is something which I annoys me generally. I don't mind adverts if you're providing it for nothing, but expect me to pay, then don't double dip me (mainly aimed at Sky)

    And, as you know, it utterly boils my urine, too.

    For instance, Evernote do not have the brass neck to fill my screen with bloody adverts, because I give them an annual subscription so that I can have a clean, uninterrupted experience. Free - adverts. Paid for - clean experience. That has always been my understanding, and I have been happy to pay for the latter.

    It makes me way more upset than it should, mate. Way more. iFollow are scum. They've got a captive audience, with no other way of legally watching the games (and, I imagine if you watch them illegally, the adverts, buffering, whatever, will be worse still.) They're a disgraceful company.

    I have been ranting to a few people about it recently. Was it you who pointed out that Sky do it, too? I think it was. You pay your monthly fee, and still get adverts at half-time or whatever. People need to start kicking off about it - it isn't on. More unacceptable still is that the adverts arrive mid-sent... HEY! STOP BALL-WATCHING!
