I'm most annoyed they've taken away the option of listening to the "old style" which actually was pretty much in real time. this new HD shite is almost a minute behind, which isn't ideal when you're following on twitter at the same time.

  Player us total crap now ,as said above you cannot get the opposition stream without logging out and the logging to the opposition site. To date no highlights of the game ,logged into Bradford city they Have all the First half (not surprising) not the second ,checked two other clubs sites Gillingham and Chesterfield both had highlights up since 1230 yesterday .Wish I did not have to rely on it .

I wonder if the media ban has stretched to player as well then?  Surely there must be some kind of contractual requirement, although this doesn't seem to apply to listening quality of live matches so who knows..

[jayohaitchenn]

10 mins of highlights on player.

How much responsibility/involvement do the club actually have in Player, I had always assumed that as every club has it it is something that the FL have signed up to that is managed outside the club?

[jayohaitchenn]

The club decide what content goes on there.

[bigbobjoylove]

Some clubs do full match coverage don't they?

[anglia red]

I believe the club gets a percentage of the yearly fee . Good 10 minutes of Highlights up now

Well, I was quite encouraged by what I saw against Liverpool. This feeling was scuppered at times during the first half against Bradford. There were moments during the first half where I could see glimmers of hope but the tippy tappy twixt defence and Vigouroux looked too familiar, as did Byrnes taking on one opposition player too many.

I thought the goal we conceded was well worked. The pen that Thompson conceded looked like a dive to me and was as much a penalty as the one that Robert didn't get in the second half. The take was a bit weak but well saved by Vigouroux Magnifico.

The second half was 'kin awesome. Whatever was said to Byrne really did the trick. Kasim seems to be back to the Yasir we know and love. Branco had a really steady game, getting his head or boot in where needed. Stewart looks to be a real dynamo. Ran his socks off. BOO had a meh first half but picked it up for the second.

The ref was a bit of a cunt. Booking Byrne for a middle of the park challenge which was no different to the edge of the area challenge by McArdle that eventually saw Hylton going off with a probable broken collar bone? WTF?

First hat trick for the new Football league Show

Overall? The Red Army is back on the war path

Showing myself up, doubtless, but was that the first opening day hat trick since Super. Sammy. Parkin  ?

For, but not against...that dishonour belongs to Simeon Jackson.

Was that the 5 zip I witnessed?

Last day we lost to Millwall and The Pikeys went down at Wycombe!

Great result, shame about Byrne having no end product.
