  1. Yes I did! On the plus side, I was finally able to cast it to my TV using Chromecast. iFollow has never managed that in several years. I had my stream running a few minutes before kick-off. But I also heard the "stuttering" and ended up switching the sound off. I thought it might have been an issue with one of the microphones - did it sound like that on the radio too? It also threw me out of the stream at about the 70-minute mark and I couldn't get back in until the 87th minute. It's been a frustrating experience so far, but it'll be good when it works.
  2. We're up and running now! I try to post the fixtures on a Wednesday for Saturday games. Good luck!
  3. Time to get the crystal balls out again! These games kick off at 3pm on Saturday, and remember your joker! Middlesbrough v Portsmouth Sunderland v Burnley Charlton Athletic v Bolton Wanderers Lincoln City v Mansfield Town Cheltenham Town v AFC Wimbledon Newport County v Accrington Stanley Rochdale v Forest Green Rovers Sutton United v York City
  4. Apologies for the delay, the mobile app removed all the formulas from my spreadsheet. I'll think of something better next time. Anyway, the results: Norwich City 2-2 Blackburn Rovers Watford 3-0 Stoke City Blackpool 0-3 Stockport County Reading 2-0 Wigan Athletic Crewe Alexandra 0-5 Chesterfield Grimsby Town 3-2 Cheltenham Town Hartlepool United 0-0 Southend United Woking 0-2 Gateshead --- Here are this round's scores. Congrats to @super_ram and @gtownjohnno on hitting double figures, while @cheeky~k8 is our first player to score nul points... --- And we have a league table! @super_ram and @william1984 lead the way, but there's a long way to go... --- The third round is online now! Thanks for playing, see you over there
  5. Folks, it's Sunday, Saturday was yesterday. I'll post a couple of reminders next time to help with your timekeeping ???? I'll try to post the scores this evening (I'm on the road so I'm using my mobile). For those of you who didn't post on time, the good news is that we have 44 rounds left and loads of points to play for!
  6. Sorry @thommo and @allardyces tash, the games have already finished! I'll calculate the scores when I get my abacus out.
  7. Norwich City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers Watford 1-1 Stoke City Blackpool 0-2 Stockport County Reading 1-1 Wigan Athletic Crewe Alexandra 0-2 Chesterfield (joker) Grimsby Town 1-0 Cheltenham Town Hartlepool United 0-2 Southend United Woking 1-2 Gateshead
  8. Now it's time for our second round, and there are still 1215 points to play for! These matches all kick off at 3pm on Saturday, and don't forget your joker! Norwich City v Blackburn Rovers Watford v Stoke City Blackpool v Stockport County Reading v Wigan Athletic Crewe Alexandra v Chesterfield Grimsby Town v Cheltenham Town Hartlepool United v Southend United Woking v Gateshead
  9. The app has been updated and PiesPlayer now actually works. I actually managed to stream the highlights of the Tranmere game to Chromecast, which is something iFollow was never able to do. Unfortunately the audio commentary was missing for a lot of yesterday's match, although the club said it wasn't a fault at their end and many other clubs were also affected.
  10. I'd have played Bass to help him settle in, but apart from that it looks like a strong team and a strong bench. Three players make their first start for us, I'm particularly interested in what Edwards has to offer.
  11. Pure tinpottery. And why did the referee allow them to kick off like that at all? Did he think they'd manage?
  12. You never know @Megan_Elizax. But take a picture of the table just to be safe @CliftonMagpie you'd better hurry up and join in, there are only 1215 points left to play for
  13. He started and was taken off after 80 minutes. That surprised me a bit given he only signed the day before. As good as they are individually, playing Nemane and Jones left us badly lacking defensively. Time will tell whether the club have done the right thing.
  14. The results: Barrow 1-0 Crewe Alexandra Gillingham 4-1 Carlisle United Harrogate Town 0-2 Bromley Salford City 0-2 Port Vale Altrincham 1-0 Woking Boston United 0-3 Rochdale Halifax Town 2-1 Barnet Southend United 1-1 York City --- So these are the scores for the first round. Congratulations to our first leader @william1984, and honourable mentions also go to @liampie, @Megan_Elizax and @thommo. A small word of warning here - I'm using a new spreadsheet this season, but I checked some of the scores manually and everything seems to be correct. We're off to a great start, thank you all for taking part! The next round will cover Saturday's games, so I'll post the fixtures on Wednesday. See you all then!
  15. The only thing I really want it for is PiesPlayer. I suspect it isn't actually finished yet, but was rushed out in time for the start of the new season. I hope it gets better.
  16. We have them in our garden, they're beautiful birds (even when they're dissecting mice on the roof of our shed). I recently found out that "pie" is the older term for magpie (magpie came from maggie-pie, a pet name for them). The pastries were then named after them in honour of mapies' habit of collecting random items. There's also a brilliant song about them:
  17. Did it also keep buffering and showing a little grey circle @Fan of Big Tone? I checked my Internet speed at first, but now I'm certain the problem was at their end.
  18. Unfortunately the iFollow replacement was absolutely dreadful and I gave up on it in the second half. However, I thought the new defensive signings looked solid. Bass had little to do but looked competent. As I wrote above, the game was a bit tepid with neither side looking to take risks, but a point on the road is a steady result.
  19. It's been a really tepid game. We look well organised but pose little threat so far.
  20. I'm attempting to watch PiesPlayer on my laptop (as the app just crashes) and it is absolutely shoddy. Every ten seconds the stream stops and a little grey circle appears (my Internet speed at this time was 185 Mbps, more than enough to stream UHD videos). I was treated to a completely grey screen for about five minutes, at which I gave up and listened to the radio instead (which also no longer works on my phone). I hope this improves because at the moment it is unwatchable. Otherwise I'll have to ask for a refund.
  21. Hmm, I hope it gets better. To anyone trying to log in, you need to make a new account on the club website first, and then sign in with that on the app. That bit worked for me. I downloaded it so I could cast PiesPlayer, but it crashes every time I select it. Looks like the laptop again then!
  22. Nemane might not have been an automatic starter this season anyway, especially when you look at who else we've signed in his position. In light of that, I can understand the club being tempted when offered a possible six-figure sum for a squad player. Time will tell whether we really need another central midfielder. On the other hand, what kind of signal does it send out when we sell to a promotion rival on the eve of the season? I hope the club are vindicated in this.
  23. I can't see us playing Grant, I don't think he's even had a training session with us. If Robertson is fit he'll start, alongside either Edwards, Hinchy or even Crowley. It'll be interesting to see whether we'll persist with three at the back with wing backs this season. SM switched to four at the back at times last season. @NottsCountyKev, if it's a miserable day for the mood hoovers, I think most of us could settle for that!
  24. We seem to have a good mob together, thank you all for taking part! Any more? @gtownjohnno, @True Magpie, @cheeky~k8, @4everapie, @Harry Buckley? Kick off is Saturday at 3!
  25. He deserves a chance. He has a very good record with the England youth teams and already knows the setup and job better than any club manager. Being a club manager and coaching a national team are very different jobs and the idea that a very successful club manager would be a great national team coach is well wide of the mark. We don't need a big name, we need a good coach. Neither of the coaches in the final of Euro 24 had won a single thing as a club manager.
