I thought the broadcast was decent enough, apart from when the ball was not in play like waiting for a corner and the AI went in search of it. The commentator has a difficult job without a sidekick or a support team in his ear and was ok with that in mind but just wasn’t adequately familiar with the players on the pitch. That needs to improve and he could have been better prepared in terms of recognising them.

Ready now. Bring it on

Come to realise the camera's thinking the baldy linesman is the ball 😂😂😂

I really enjoyed that. It felt like I was at my seat. My low concentration and poor eyesight were mimicked perfectly by the AI. The staring and swearing at the linesmans bald head made me really feel like I was there after another terrible offside. The zoom in on the chances in the box worked fairly well until baldy distracted the camera. Corner kicks were a particular problem that will get resolved. I seen more on here than I would have at my seat. Happy clapper all the way.

Bloody glad we achieved a point after a pretty poor performance, Not much to be confident about on the pitch, Basic tactics mostly consisting mainly of lumping it up towards Todarov ( Brewster he ain't ). I'll put it down to a makeshift team with a sprinkling of young inexperienced players, Combined with a fair pile of wayward passes, But what worries me most is the lack of pace in the side, None of our back 4 would be described as anything more than 'cumbersome ' Of the players out injured only Storey can give us pace, Kennedy might give us something but that remains to be seen. Next weeks game vs Arbroath is becoming crucial even at this early stage of a short season.

Shame he opted for no 77 when no 9 is available!!! Lol!!

I kept on wondering why there were no fans in the stadium and was grateful to the commentator for reminding me every 10 minutes that the game was behind closed doors because of COVID-19.

Camera really should have been on the West side, that’s probably down to ICT. No zooms, no replays, terrible AI, terrible commentator, just ICT getting what you pay for I suppose. Anybody know what cut ICT get from this SPFL deal? Presumably the Pars made a reasonable profit from 1700 subscribers last week doing it in-house.

Would be good just to get a picture .😡

Toddy did better there.

Not missing much. All you're missing is a **** game and the back of a Linesmans bald head

As a season ticket holder I registered all details including code ..All accepted until it came to watching game . All I get is “you don’t have subscription to view .” Raging 😡😡

It's simple if there is a bald linesman play him on the other side or paint a big cross on his head

It wasn't too bad really and hopefully the wandering camera thing will be rectified before the next game. Otherwise I don't suppose many people will be so willing to cough up a tenner in future!

Thank you so much I will try this tomorrow to see how I get on .I honestly can’t remember what I did today but can’t face any more tonight .Cheers

I stay in NK already.

It was me Lizi and I followed your instructions and after a few stop/starts, I eventually got on to the game just as the whistle went for the kickoff. At my advanced years I was really chuffed I managed to get into the system and watch the game. Thanx to you.

He was as good at the commentary today as he was at scoring when he was here before so no thanks!

Well, they were. The camera wasn't moving. In case there are any other techies here, I worked out a few things about the system. The Pixellot website - https://www.pixellot.tv/ - mentions a "multi-camera fixed rig system" in the centre of the ground, stitching together a panoramic picture of the pitch. The ICT system used four cameras. Two were looking across to midway inside each half. The straight line across the ground and into the sky was where the images from these two cameras were stitched together by the system. That's why there were differences in colour and sharpness there - two different cameras. Would have thought that the system should be able to compensate better for that. There were two other cameras, one covering each end. The sloping lines where their images were stitched to the central camera images were quite clear, once I knew what to look for, and especially after the sun had gone. So four cameras in all, but no camera was actually moving. The system was stitching together the four camera feeds into one big picture of the ground. It was then deciding which part of that picture to show to us, and whether to zoom in or out - just like you or me deciding which part of a very large screen to look at. Clearly, it was mistaking the linesman's head for the ball, which made me wonder how the AI had learned to follow a game. It suggests that the great majority of the people in the games that it has "watched" have had plenty of hair. Made me wonder about that other common flaw in machine learning, namely using only white people whilst it is learning. Probably not such a problem here, because it is watching people moving, and not, for example, trying to do facial recognition. Clearly very far from perfect - but interesting for a (former) nerd like me.

Dreadful camera work. Dreadful game. Lucky to get a poimt

That's really not good enough then if the support channels aren't available when people are actually trying to use the service. Fingers crossed you get it fixed and I would definitely be enquiring about some form of recompense.

That coverage was hilarious. A commentator who didn’t know more than 20% of the players names. You suddenly realise that even Billy Dodds and the Radio Scotland crew are actually nit that bad after him! A camera guided by AI which missed so many incidents because it kept focusing on the linesman’s baldy napper. Camera was so far away from play it was difficult to work out who was who. Honestly think the club would be better doing it on Facebook live if that’s the ‘quality’ as if 2020 needed to be any worse in quality!! No idea who played well but delighted we got the draw and we’ll done to all the boys for battling it out .

I understand the difficulties involved in setting up coverage from scratch but the quality of that coverage really wasn't good enough for paying customers of any business. The quality of the coverage was worse than the quality of the football which is really saying something.

Don't think there will be anything they can do, since contracts will have been signed. They may not even have the option of lowering the price. Just going to have to learn to live with it, and hope that the AI is smart enough to learn about the Scottish game!

It was the same at Dunfermline last week. I’ve muted my alerts as a result.

I think the AI camera picks up that bald head all the time. Thinks it is the ball. Everytime play goes towatds South stand camera zooms back to baldy

Toddy! 1-1. Set up by young Fyffe.

GET IN!!!!! TODDY

The quality is fine as far as I'm concerned but the AI technology is dreadful.

Better picture now since the sun has gone away

Kennedy for Keatings, need to change it Robbo, this is awful.

That's optimistic...

Can somebody put a wig or a hat on that linesman?

As likely as Sean Welsh it seems!

Is this guy going to get through the game without naming any players 😂

WHAT the feck is this camera man doing????? he's all over the place!

It's 40 minutes to kick-off in a home game. Maybe try phoning the stadium?

Cheers Fraz all sorted

Commentator is called Andrew Bannerman Footballer is called Andrew Barrowman Schoolboy error, tut tut.
