bt sports - vanarama highlights show

Post by **bixieupnorth** » 23 Aug 2014, 13:58

i've been waging a single handed campaign on facebook to try to find out exactly why these buffoons have bought the rights to the VFC but appear to have have shown preciscely 0 minutes of highlights so far. seems an odd decision not to put a simple highlights programme out on a monday

or have i just not seen it?

anyone else fancy contacting them about this glaring oversight??

I've also been looking but have had the same success. Setanta certainly did but the coverage on BT does not appear to be as comprehensive. I also can't find any sort of general highlights package online for the week's games which is disappointing as it's interesting to see what the other teams in the division are up to. As you say although it's non-league it is strange and annoying for a selection of live games to be shown but no actual highlights.

My only thoughts were that they seemed to take over quite recently, perhaps they haven't had time to get a commentary team and broadcast team together for it yet. Would be interesting to know why there's nothing, at least. Perhaps a BT customer themselves would be best to question it.

dunno why they dont just show the goals with a voiceover, dont need flashy graphics, theme tune and some dick giving his views on the games, just want to see the action

there are lots of highlights progs for german, french, scottish and even the womens premier, goals of the week show, european round up, espn kicks etc, but not seen one single solitary second of vfc

i know that youtube official highlights are there but its great to see all the games in our league

i'll try to get email address and get onto them

I take it BBC don't have access anymore as we now don't get a mention in the monday highlights program anymore. It is bloody frustrating that it is impossible to get the highlights of the Lincoln game anywhere.
I wouldn't pay the Gulls player subs out of principle but why don't we chip in a quid each and have a universal password/username - then we can all see the goals.

no they dont and i think there are only a few clubs that still use player in the confrence. the majority will upload to youtube. my gulls player runs out next week. i could probably screen record and upload to youtube if this is allowed. Now just need to remember password.

was hoping we'd see them on youtube. I cancelled my gullsplayer account last season because..well, it was crap. Commentaries and match highlights are nice but the user experience was so terrible to find them, I stopped bothering. website is and remains a total joke. Do we have *any* idea when the gulls player thing might go away?

Anyone not seen the highlights for the Lincoln match here is the video unlisted so only people with link can see.

Thanks for posting the link.

Surprised that Lincoln even bothered to appeal the red card as his hands WERE up and he WAS the last man =

. I also feel they were lucky with the penalty too as there does appear to be a shove in the back of Tonge and Downes may have even got something on the ball as well ..... and their striker went down very easily!

Great goal by Richards though. Not only was it a quality strike from 25 yards into the bottom corner but I think I counted NINE passes in the build up which is nice to see and something that hasn't happened too often in recent seasons!

From the corner though Duane should have scored, but now he has two, HOPEFULLY he will be more confident and he will score a few more this season.

I think it may be because clubs do their own highlights, im not even sure BT would have the rights to show them. they would have to give each club a yearly amount and send down cameras to each match. im not too sure if this is finacially viable for BT to do this.
Alternatively BT could pay a small amount to have permission to the Youtube highlights, just download them and put it in a half hour / hour show. we wouldnt even need commentators.

No point having Gulls Player. They don't publish the match highlights there at all.
