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 -

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 calledTest 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 tolearn 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 TalkSport 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 installit without realising the consequences. It's quite accessible so such accidental use is a real possibility.

The one I have, that used to be very accessible with VoiceOver, but which isn't so good any more, iscalled 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, andFotmob of course!

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 tobroadcast games [other than champions league] to Europe. this is where Fotmob comes in, as they can, for some reason - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 11:15 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: the fl footballHi Andy No, it doesn't deliver live matches, just chitchat and score updates etc. But the Jeff Stelling Soccer Saturday programme, normally broadcast onSky 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.

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?

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.

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.

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 timein the future there will be a charge. I have to say that the quality of thecommentaries is pretty poor, even worse than local radio, but better than nothing I guess - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gallagher"
