Thanks, Ed. very amusing and informative. And of course I will try my best not to 'install' that software, but of course, accidents do happen -

Subject: [access-uk] Football commentary abroad (was RE: Re: the fl football)


Hi Andy,

I suspect Fotmob can broadcast commentary abroad because they're not
commentating from the game from what I can tell.  There's a podcast called
Test Match Sofa which provides a similarly unofficial (though slightly more tongue in cheek) commentary on cricket too, though again it's from a studio.

Being a law abiding soul who is a stickler for the rules, I was horrified to
learn that there are apps for the iPhone that fool websites into thinking
you're in the UK when you're not, and which mean you can get streams that
should only be available in the UK while you're abroad.  Given that I
wouldn't want you to accidentally hear commentary that the BBC and Talk
Sport only want to be available in the UK, I should probably warn you not to install Hotspot Shield VPN in case you innocently come across it and install
it without realising the consequences.  It's quite accessible so such
accidental use is a real possibility.

Cheers,

Ed

Hi Andy

We are talking of different apps then, (smile).  The one I have, that used
to be very accessible with VoiceOver, but which isn't so good any more, is
called Sky Sports. It isn't a subscription app, just one where you used to be able to double tap on the various sports stories, but which is difficult to navigate since an update. Instead, for now, I use the BBC Sport app, and
Fotmob of course!


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie -

If we are talking about the same app, which on my phone is called 'football sc', then yes, certainly the bits of it I use are still accessible, which is
for the most part the 'news/media tab. So, if it's the same app, which bit
for you isn't behaving as it did?

I can generally get live commentary on my team, [one way or another] but the problem was when abroad, as FiveLive, and Talk Sport, are not permitted to
broadcast games [other than champions league] to Europe. this is where
Fotmob comes in, as they can, for some reason -

Hi Andy

No, it doesn't deliver live matches, just chitchat and score updates etc.
But the Jeff Stelling Soccer Saturday programme, normally broadcast on
Sky Sports News each Saturday, is available on the radio app from 3.00 pm.

I wonder if you could confirm for me whether you find the Sky Sports
app as accessible now as it used to be, because I don't think it is
any more unless I am doing something wrong?  I tend to use the BBC
Sport app for this reason.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi  Jackie -

I have Tune-in on my iPhone. Does Sky Sports News Radio  have live
commentaries then? I have their Football SC app, which is great for
footie news, from Sky, and from the Papers, and am aware of the radio
station that is accessible with the app, but didn't think it delivered
live games?

Hi Andy

I haven't been following all this thread, so never noticed initially.
But
thanks for the tip, must try it out later.  I am quite well off for
football commentaries now as I use Tune In and Sky Sports News Radio
on the Sonata.
So much more choice and accessibility now, it's great.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie -

Did you see my post on this? I have listen to loads of commentaries
using Fotmob. Double tap the match you are interested in, and then
find the headphones button, and double tap that. You'll  then have a
screen of languages for the commentary. If you double tap on ENG, the
dreaded Pepsi ad will play [I haven't paid to have all ads removed]
and then the commentary will begin. Sometimes there is a break, and
you have to go back and tap the language button again.

It's not five live, more like hospital radio, but in the absence of
an alternative, is good enough.
HTH -

Hi Trace

I don't see any way of accessing actual commentaries on the Fotmob app.
I
think this is a great little app that works with VoiceOver though.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

I don't think they can John, the Prem is a wholly different animal.
That said, there is a free app called Fotmob that has commentaries
on all games being played on any given day, in lots and lots of
languages too. The commentaries are free for now, as they say, so
this suggests that some time

in the future there will be a charge. I have to say that the quality
of the

commentaries is pretty poor, even worse than local radio, but better
than nothing I guess -

Hi Trace yes it will do the championship teams fine. they do keep
updating it so you never know they may do the premiership in the
future.
