Irish awful in Europe so far.

We were unbelievable, they were 1/7 at the start, they are 250 places ahead in the ranking, they didn't score from open play and we had chances to win, there was nothing awful about that performance tonight. In normal circumstances we'd be taking an away goal back to Dalymount and only the lottery of penalties was the difference.

Thinks Burke's goal was good but I barely seen it the stream is choppy.

The stream is awful so far. What I feared watchLOI would be like.

Apologies, I didn't see the game, only made my comment based on Irish results.

I'd be very annoyed if I was paying a 10er for it

Hate this nonsense.

Penalty shootouts are not a lottery.

It's been proven that teams, and players that consistently practice taking penalties, are successful at them.

They definitely lowered the bit rate shortly after kick off, but since then, it's been fine for me.

Just watching it in the window though. It'd look awful in full screen.

Very true . Penos aren’t like a toss of a coin -There is skill involved in a good pen

Howard the Duck

Burke is playing well, he looks the most dangerous so far

chopperbyrne

Stream has completely fallen over now.

Fcuking joke of a stream. Muppets :mad::mad::mad:

Howard the Duck

Stream is just broken now. won't get past 28 minutes

Howard the Duck

Looks like it MIGHT be back

chopperbyrne

It's their first attempt that I'm aware of a full stream themselves. Only been rebroadcasting someone else's feed previously.

They probably should have just only given this to Members/ST holders, and not charged, but can't blame them for trying.

Can completely blame them for charging 10 euro for the game when they haven't tested the stream before. This is going to put people off paying in the future and advertisers

He was going for the traditional LOI fan's response to bad results in Europe; wait until the final whistle of a game he didn't watch and then post something dramatic.

What is the story with Mandriou not playing for Bohs lately?

As usual with the big pub team, gargled

Howard the Duck

Not a bad first half from Rovers , hopefully, they can build on that in the second half. I think the last couple of games they've been lacking confidence but that first half performance might help them. In saying all that I could see the ref deciding this one, haven't been impressed with him

MonkstownHoop

Another Dundalk casualty

Rovers 2-1 down now.

Howard the Duck

looks like Ilves are gonna set back and defend the lead, Rovers haven't been good at breaking done teams lately. Burke looked the only player that can score from distance and they've taken him off.

Dillonb3

Looking like another poor European campaign for LOI teams, if were not careful the likes of N Ireland, Wales, and Luxembourg will start to overtake us in coefficient

Howard the Duck

ANNNDDDD the streams gone again.......... if i had hair i'd be pulling it out.

Ferris_Bueller

Ah feck this, I'm packing it in. Crap stream, crap match and crap performance from Rovers. Horrible year for LOI clubs in Europe.

Howard the Duck

Somebody scored a goal, the slideshow hasn't shown me who yet.

Howard the Duck

Pico makes it 2-2

chopperbyrne

Pico Lopes.

2-2

Didn't get to see it though, because the stream is borked.

Howard the Duck

it's basically radio commentary with the odd picture

How many people are watching the Bohs stream? 1.3k watching Shamrock Rovers.

There was 1.5k at one point I think

DvB

Just glad I didnt have to pay for this stream, shocking quality. Basically a series of stills with commentary from Con & Robbo.

chopperbyrne

1.7k was the highest figure I saw, for the Rovers stream.

Howard the Duck

Rovers down to 10, Scales sent off for doing something...probably some sort of foul who knows. Could spell disaster for Rovers.

1.6k was the peak.

I saw 1.7, stream seemed okish at 1.4

simonw

That's quality, 15 grand for each club from the stream, shows the demand for it

Howard the Duck

Extra time best Rovers could have hoped for after the sending off.

Assuming 1000 of the 1700 are paying a tenner that's 10 grand, but they wouldn't pay a few hundred quid for enough bandwidth. :rolleyes:

Glad I didn't bother now, but I assume they'll be giving refunds to everyone anyway.

Yea if they can provide a stable service. Rovers messed up here should have been free for everyone to test the service, then charge once they know they can provide a service.

Howard the Duck

Stream gone again.... I think they got the RTE player lads to do a nixer here.

chopperbyrne

https://inplayer.com/ look to be the providers. Would assume they assured them they could provide the service.

Rovers stream was available free of charge to club Members, 2020 Season Ticket holders, volunteers, all SRFC National League players and coaches from U13s to First Division squad and also to the families of the First Team squad and staff.

Given that, probably not too many of the 1700 were paying.

It should have just been the above with no paid option, until proven.

Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

Unfortunately, it's 2020, the year of Murphy's Law made real.

We paid a fair bit for the rights to stream I believe.

Underground

Rovers fans outside the stadium - class. Shame about the stream quality.

Oh yeah not 15k profit, but when it was advertised as a tenner, I was worried it wouldn't get traction

TheCitizen

Looks like it's heading for a penalty shootout

DvB

FT in ET, penos it is.

VillaMad

Coleraine just knocked out Maribor on penalties. Incredible result really.

Rovers heading to penalties.

Dr. Bre

Some result for Coleraine to beat Maribor

VillaMad

Jack Byrne saved.
Jair hit post for Ilves.

2-2 after 3 penalties each.

VillaMad

4-4 after 5 penalties.

Sudden death

Now 6-6. Tension.
