    That's true. and sometimes you think you've paid for it and the club tells you that you haven't, as it's turned out.

    My personal favourite is when the ball goes out, camera focuses on the player getting the ball for like 30 seconds and then just as they’re about to take the corner they cut to a replay and miss the lot.

    Sorry I didn't realise you meant that. Yes I paid up front for my ifollow access, that doesn't make it any more free than saying that my car costs nothing to run because I buy the petrol in advance of using it.

    I get to watch the game which is the main point of it - I've not had a problem with it to be fair apart from the QPR away game last season

    It's been like a season of Champ Manager for me. We are even doing unrealistically well! Not only can't I see them in the flesh, but my internet connection is too ***** to keep throwing tenners at. I just refresh Twitter every 30 seconds hoping for a goal GIF!

    Mine was freezing today, which is unusual. Sometimes it buffers, but not that often these days. Today the video froze several times, but the commentary kept going. It eventually sorted itself out though, and resynced.

    Yes it's a bit unprofessional but like I've said in other posts, I can't be doing with all the pre-match build-up and post-match blather so I just turned it off. The actual match coverage was fine - although mine buffered on a couple of occasions, probably down to my broadband though.

    I must be unique because I think it is good value , I watch the home games through the code I get via my season ticket & I pay a tenner for the away match & I have never had a problem & really enjoy the production , I also think its refreshing to get novice commentators as opposed to the so called experts & pundits on Sky, BT & BBC .

    Do you think that the way it just cuts to adverts in the middle of analysis is good for a paid service?

    I havn"t got a problem with it, bulk of the revenue goes to the clubs , they have to make their money somehow & its only for a few seconds

    Not unique cos I agree, half time comes I ditch out for a piss. Come back when SofaScore tells me the second half has started. Never see an advert. Not swelling the coffers of Rupert Murdoch, Barnsley supporting commentary, come on smell the roses there are many positives.

    I don’t get why people are that arsed. The post and pre game coverage I never pay any attention to, whatever the game, and the adverts I just go for a piddle and get a beer and stick a couple of songs on or something :)

    The people saying 'its not important the only bit that matters is the match' must be the same ones who say they don't care if they have to sit in a leaky stadium surrounded by breeze block walls with no PA system or scoreboard because they only go to look at the pitch

    So do I mate, as I said before it's a tad unprofessional at times but it ticks all the important boxes for me. I'd far rather pay £10 to iFollow (and hence BFC) than pay a penny to the grabbing Sky b@stards....

    It's definitely isn't a few seconds. It's over 5 minutes every single time.

    I must be unique, as I'm annoyed that the game interrupts the adverts.

    You don't get why people are arsed because you don't pay attention to it? There's tons of stuff I don't pay attention to but I would understand why someone else would be annoyed if it was something they were interested in and had paid for. Not being arsed yourself fair enough but how can you not get why other people are?
