[Football] Rob Green

[ShandyH]

Not really Rob Green, but the commentary didn’t match what I was watching tonight. It seemed very much West Ham centric when we were playing good football. I thought we were well worth the draw, it was a fair result.

Well it was Upson as co-commentator. He was following a lead of Brighton being blunt up front. Green was an analyst in the build-up, half time and at the end. He’s a breath of fresh air.

Apart from spending an inordinate amount of time focussing on our defensive frailties at corners*, thought the coverage was excellent. Totally agree ref Rob Green.

*admittedly we did look frail!

Overall I thought Amazon Prime were pretty slick, the equal of Sky Sports.

Agree 100%. Hate it when not very good commentators establish their narrative and stick to it regardless of what is actually happening.

Studio summarisers and David Moyes were far more accurate in their analysis (although not helped by the VT prepared on “Toothless Brighton”...).

The truth was “Brighton are a really good side” “West Ham are defending for their lives - but it only takes a second to score a goal and Brighton will keep knocking on the door with all this possession”

The commentary was so so, pundits good but the streaming was lousy. The picture was pixelated in close ups.

Green was excellent as he always is on 5 Live. Upson is quite decent as a co-commentator too. Poor commentator though who also didn’t understand the offside rule when it came to their disallowed goal - Upson had to put her right.

My picture was perfect - excellent quality - via the Prime channel through Virgin Media.

Rob green was top I thought.

I’m sure that one day I’ll forget his howler v USA in the 2010 WC.

Not yet though apparently.

 

[osgood]

I haven’t heard him on 5 Live. Why the hell isn’t he ahead of Keown, Dixon, Keane, Merson, Alan Smith (tad harsh) to name a few?

It was interesting that for the disallowed goal he said Sanchez led with the wrong hand - he should have cleared the way with his right and punched with his left.

We were shithouse at that WC — never going to win it especially after the dismal Algeria game. You can let it go.

You’re totally right, of course; we were and I should.

Rob Green was excellent. Articulate and knew his onions. That, however, was the only bright spot. Screechy woman and Matt state the obvious Upson had me searching for the stadium noise option which I frustratingly couldn't find. Screechy was particularly annoying as she couldn't identify our players (she mistook sarmeinto for Lallana, couldn't spot Duffy and referred to him as "The Brighton player" and kept pronouncing Solly as "Marsh" aarrgghh). Matt saying "Headerererers" was about the only bright spot. Stick then both in the Garth Crooks bin.

I think both Martin Keown and Alan Smith are excellent, the other three not so much. Paul Merson being particularly awful.

My picture was perfect - streaming through a Roku box using the Prime app, however the BBC sport notifications were coming through to my phone about 3/4 seconds before what I was seeing on screen. I ended up moving my phone to where I could not see it!

And she named Bissouma as 'Souma' through out the whole first half.

Mine was fine for the Albion game (using the app via sky Q) but we switched over to the scouse game at half time and it was pretty crappy to be honest. However we did the same at full time and it was much better.

So perhaps next time try exiting the stream and rejoining??

Still not sold on streaming football until they close the lag, it's getting much better but its still a good few seconds.

As was mine via the TV Prime App, I have FTTH and a decent connection speed so that helps
