Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted July 15, 2010 Pete please can I have the name of the person at the FA who made this idiotic objection so that I can get in touch to complain. I am profoundly deaf so sound commentary is useless to me. I was delighted when live text was introduced as it meant that I could follow away games as they happened for the first time. Now it has been taken away for no good reason other than sheer bloody mindedness. My complaint probably won''t change anything but might at least make the twit responsible feel guilty and ashamed.

blahblahblah 2 Posted July 16, 2010 Ghost, don''t know if it helps, but the BBC will in all likelihood be running their usual text service on their site (probably because they are one of the few organisations who can afford the license...) - click here for the Norwich club page, and on the left will be a link to Live Text when the new season starts.

YellowBlood 0 Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks. I probably will have to resort to the BBC, but it is nowhere near as good as the Pink Un. They say dull things like "attacking throw in" - none of the wit and wisdom that makes the Pink Un one so enjoyable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 16, 2010 The BBC can also be up to 5 minutes behind the live action, its a ball-ache and annoyingly dull... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morty 0 Posted July 19, 2010 [quote user="Sports Desk Pete"]Chris Lakey explains the ridiculous situation regarding our live match text commentary better than most... http://bit.ly/bg7pB1[/quote]Interesting stuff.And yet another symptom of the faceless football machine relentlessly screwing over the most important people in football - the fans.I would love to see this gather steam, the various newspapers affected get together with supporters associations, and this be used to seize some of the power back from the money men.

NeonYellow 4 Posted July 22, 2010 It would be easy enough to follow a Twitter profile setup just for match days. Maybe a workaround would be to post updates to a Twitter profile and let everyone know to follow that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calle 16 Posted July 22, 2010 Hope you can fix something instead or similar to the Live text... I, and i guess many others abroad really appreciated it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 0 Posted July 24, 2010 Awww... How come these guys still get a feed? For as much as a pre-season friendly as well!? (Or is it precisely because of that? And if it is, how come the Pink ''Un weren''t doing it?)http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2010/07/24/norwich-city-2-newcastle-united-1-72703-26923243/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted July 24, 2010 The guy running the Newcastle feed at the game said, when asked about the live feeds for this coming season, that it''s going to be the format for all of their live feeds this season-so they''re carrying on pretty much as normal, unless he doesn''t know, its a no-no yet?If they are-and it didn''t look that different to ours-then why can''t we?

norfolkchance1 0 Posted July 26, 2010 This all reminds me of the totally unfair way people are penalised outside the area who are not allowed to listen to games on Radio Norfolk over the internet. Why should people have to pay to listen to something that people in another area (within the same country) are listening to for free -discrimination.We should contact that Liberty organisation.
