Has there been an upgrade for the streaming? Camera work and picture quality look much better today.

That is all good to hear but is, frankly, baffling! No new cameras, no changes to the streaming setup (as far as I know - and there are definite improvements to be made there). Bit in bold shouldn't matter but does seem to... The light was a real pain in the first half and then a real pleasure when the floodlights came on in the secondhalf, literally the Golden Hour for filming. Camerawork was the usual ham-fisted fumblings.

Were you not having a real go at people for suggesting his jacket was on a shoogly peg just a couple of weeks ago?
There have been quite a few "hot takes" flying about on here recently and I agree that was a wild one. Here's mine: is it too much to ask for an interview on black & white tv to be in focus/ have listenable sound?! Performances have been staid. We all know how frustrating Moffat is, I'm content if we are in the Chapioship next season.

Nah that’s not true. He was asked if he applied and he advised he had enquired about the job and was told by someone at the club that they already had someone lined up.
Fair enough, happy to be corrected.

Yep, that was a cheap shot by me. I just don't fancy him as a manager at all.

I have vague recollection of John Hughes being on Sportsound just after McCall was appointed Ayr manager. I think he was asked if he had applied and Hughes said while he had not applied he was surprised not to have been interviewed for the job! I'm amazed he's got a job in the Premiership. I wonder whose fault it will be if Ross County are relegated?

In principle, I think any content that was free before should really stay free in some form

I am hopeful that highlights (in some form) will be freely available. My understanding is there will be improvements to the video player on the site as well. Apart from that, I know as much as anyone else at the moment!

I'm not entirely sure if the in was meant to be an, if so yes I would. It's all just a bit roaster reaction, I'd have more respect for it if I believed folk genuinely believed it rather than throw a tantrum after Morton, get over it, throw a tantrum after Livingston and get over it, we now have it after Arbroath, results following will determine whether folk get over it but I'd wager we will be back here on boxing Day and hear f**k all else for a few weeks afterwards.
Thank you for putting it better than I can muster this evening. Usual suspects bringing up the "laptop", Mark Roberts and Sandy Stewart! Then expecting to be taken seriously.

I really enjoyed that season despite the rather anti-climactic ending for us. Don't remember exactly but I think we had a great unbeaten run of games except Rovers had a better one. Good times!

I've only got commentary now, frozen picture. Not much use. I wonder what the refund process is like?

I have a stream but it is very poor. Smearing all over the place, near unwatchable.

Weirdly, I am more confident about this game than any this season. 1-4 Ayr

The joy of one page checkout/watch page for the game. It's meant to make it simpler.
Sign up first then buy. Once you've bought it won't let you buy a second time. So I think the only thing you get to see is "buy a season ticket."
Okay

Anyone else having a problem with the janky checkout system on the Alloa site? It's looking for my card details without telling me how much I'm paying. In fact, the only mention of money on the page is £168 for a season! I'll be leaving it for now.

How can we access that? It seemed so much better.
My understanding is that there would be a cost to the club for using that camera. I agree it is a much better vantage point. Hopefully the main camera will be in the stand (front of the directors' box perhaps?) for the next streamed game (29th Dec).

Was it just me that thought we got pretty lucky today? ...
But from the point we went 2 up we were really under pressure...
A great 3 points, but I'm not entirely convinced.I think that's a glass half-empty take. We scored with our first two chances. Dundee had a couple of great chances (saved) and we had a close thing disallowed. It was nerve-wracking at times but I never had the fear of impending disaster. It's encouraging to be able to make a few changes to the team and look no worse for it.
41 minutes ago, itzdrk said:Aye he was, that's what caused all the arguing.
I didn't see much wrong with McGowan there. He did swing a leg but it wasn't much at all (didn't make the highlights!).

Stranraer's highlights are very good.

I think the chap doing it is DAFC backroom staff. Ayr is Tier 3, perhaps the situation in Dumfries will change things?

Dunfermline were filming today, probably for a highlights package. Will be interesting to seeif theres any difference in picture quality as they were on the gantry as well
Just their analysis cam. I'll post the Ayr highlights in the match thread.

1080p at 60fps requires bandwidth of approximately 11Mb.
Morton got a lot of things right last week in terms of the coverage but I don't think their frame rate was great. At the time I thought it was not great, and the highlights were only 25fps. For live sports, the key thing is getting a good frame rate.
By all accounts the stream was poor - I didn't see the stream but I have seen the raw footage from the "main" camera (on the gantry). The footage was very poor even for that less-than perfect viewpoint. That's on AUmedia, simply not good enough to sell. Watch the manager's interview on Youtube - another shocking picture.
I wouldn't get too hung up on resolution or frame rate (720p50 would be ideal imo). I believe they are streaming over a fibre connection but 11 Mbps seems excessive, 4-6 Mbps should suffice. I really enjoyed watching the Morton game last week and thought the pictures (2 cams, replays) were to a standard I was happy to pay for.
Caveat for all of the above: I am not watching the games on a spangly 4K TV, but my 4.5" has a built-in Teasmaid.

I thought that was as solid a Dunfermline side as I've seen in a while. Could have snatched it at the end with a couple of late half-chances. Let us off the hook with some pretty poor free kicks as well. I don't think Ayr were terrible though and Moffat probably had the best chance in the game. Both sides seemed to lack a cutting edge up front today.
I hope Stranraer don't knock us out the League Cup (again)!

Beams but more importantly roof (? from memory you can barely see the far touchline from a camera at the back of the main stand) plus having to give up seats. The pixellot camera is close to the best view of Somerset and it/similar will no doubt supplant a manned central camera.
Yes.
Sadly, being so low and close to to the pitch means some of this is inevitable - you need to pan quickly. At e.g. Easter Road or Firhill it is much easier to do the slow-moving/wide-view thing people expect when watching football.
