Marc 570 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I tried to watch the golf on eleven sports and the coverage was shocking. Buffering, stopping. Just shit. They are the same guys that run Leeds streaming service and Leeds fans were saying on twitter that nobody should be surprised as Leeds streaming service is awful quality and reliability. They need to fix it quickly or people will quickly turn away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The question also arises on what SKY will offer UK subscribers in the slot that was once reserved for La Liga! Have they purchased the rights to the Curling League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 @SirBalon Every game is shown on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as I've just checked. It doesn't have the listings for Monday though so I'm not sure about those 2 games but I don't see what else would be on La Liga.tv on a Monday night when 2 games are on.

Right now from my checking up it's difficult to ascertain what games are being shown mate. They have to polish up on a few things from what I'm seeing but the attention they're giving La Liga is top notch from what I've observed and I can only imagine it'll get better once they've got the punditry from SKY too (minus Gerry Armstrong who's a plum).

Mark Bolton presenting it with Rob Palmer doing the commentary is what they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember BT SPORTS having various problems when they started out and also quite a number of issues when they took control of the Champions League... There will be many things to iron out but what's for sure is that those that worked doing La Liga on SKY will now be looking for a job and the natural thing to do for Eleven Sports is to employ them there... Like I said thoug, WITHOUT Gerry Armstrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said thoug, WITHOUT Gerry Armstrong. You can't say that this intro won't be missed though, however much you love or hate Sky. The lads in the studio did a good job, it's just that sky sports as a company are dramatically falling. We can't fault the fellas in the studio though as they were informative. They also had a lot of big name guests in the studio in the studio with big connections to La Liga and a lot of knowledge about it in the likes of Toshack, Michael Laudrup, Albert Ferrer, etc. Then you have their old intro from the 90s:- Anyway, Eleven Sports' coverage isn't the best yet, but their options are class. There is always something La Liga related on one of their channels, as it is La Liga TV after all. We've never had a full channel available in the UK before that is dedicated to one league overseas.

You would hope that Eleven Sports has professional media people working there and that they've been involved in media coverage before apart from viewing what others have been offering in the same vein. I expect them to do a good job if they want to sell the product. They have two of the most historic leagues in the world in their hands and messing up would ruin them.

They’ve been showing Serie A football for years, I did some digging into their background.

The Premier League is the marquee brand, It’s a bit of an emperors new clothes situation too. It created its own allure without the big name players in its infancy.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I’ve just switched to the Celta v Espanyol game from the Chievo v Juve (Mandzukic scored and that’s it for me) and I have to say that the difference in quality with everything between the treatment for Serie ‘A’ and La Liga is tremendous. Serie ‘A’ is literally a second plate for Eleven Sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than what you get on Sky Sports app sometimes. I have to concur with this... I subscribed for a month to experience what they're doing with La Liga and was also curious to see Serie 'A's treatment because I enjoy that league. It's brilliant, seamless, no problems at all with very good commentary and punditry within the game. Plus all the shows you get are of a very high standard. Obviously La Liga is getting the star treatment and I hope they do this with Serie 'A' in the future too. I will be taking the annual subscription because it's worth it at £50. I only hope they bring out an app for my AppleTV. Top quality and beats SKY for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amatuer or what? Firstly, I celebrate that to be honest. It's always annoyed me! But maybe the reason why they're permitted to do this is because they're not a British company and our based overseas with the transmition coming from elsewhere. That way they aren't subject to British laws as long as they keep to legal content being shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
