OK I've a couple posts about no feed for this game on USLlive and I was assuming there would be. Does this mean no feed at Shoeless too or what? Paul? anybody?

I'd like to know the real reason they're not broadcasting this, given they've done it for at least the last two years.

There are no technical difficulties that cant be fixed in the next four days, so the issue is financial.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get the TFC matches streamed on TFC TV instead? Surely that's not going to bleed MLSE dry.

Dunno what difficulties they're having but I have a customer in North Carolina that said they were struggling to cope with the 4" of snow they got the other day. Maybe something to do with that, but still you would think plenty of time to fix whatever is wrong. :noidea:

Of course it is..!

Out of all the teams playing in this thing......Us as supporters are most likely the only ones that have an interest in this anyway!:drinking:

FAC if they want to do it on the cheap....Send me and Exiled down there to do the broadcast....:drinking::drinking::drinking:

We've been working on this for days. It was going to happen bit a critical piece of expensive equipment was received damaged today at charleston. Unfortunately we can't find another and had to make the call today. We and the people at charleston battery, as well as USL and CBC have all been working on this but we couldn't pull it off. We're not happy about it either.

Ok thread /closed thanks!

I am sure you guys tried Paul and thanks so much for trying to get the feed.
Hopefully this will encourage the fence sitters to get off their ass and "make' some time to get down to Charleston for the tourney.
Me and the rest of us Charleston peeps are looking so forward to this trip you can't imagine.
What about an iphone feed?

hey paul,
I had heard it was Charleston that had difficulties, not TFC, so I sure wasn't even thinking it was your fault.

so what exactly were the technical difficulties exactly? i thought the Charleston people were pros at doing this.. they do it every year no prob.

Paul, in defence, I read this thread before noticing you had answered questions on this in the Ask Paul thread. I had no idea you or the CBC had become involved and it is very likely Exiled did not either.
Thanks for the effort, we will miss seeing the games, maybe someone can at least live blog them??

Hey Paul give Exiled a break here. I've never met the guy but he's a thoughtful poster. You have to concede, without knowing more, it was kind of strange that it couldn't be fixed with 4 days to go. I'm sure any barb was intended at beancounters who sit above you.

If the technical problem has to do with the feed being live then maybe its possible to tape the game and upload it to TFC TV afterwards?

The trip to Columbus is costing me about $100. I know I am fortunate to have a job and everything...but even when I was a broke-ass student, $100 was still doeable if you really wanted to.

So we don't get to see Charlston...I am ok with that. I'd be more upset if I missed an actual regular season game.

I wasn't insinuating you were lying to the supporters at all, and I think I've defended you and the absolutely stellar job you've done with TFC a hundred times before, and I wouldn't do that, if I didn't have confidence in you.

In truth I stopped reading the Dorval airport thread days ago, and hadnt realised this issue had been addressed, I didn't actually realise you were invested in the broadcast at all. As I'm just some guy posting on the internet, I dont feel any obligation to tiptoe around these issues, and threw it out there that MLSE might actually chip in to make the broadcast happen. Obviously, if I'd been aware of your responses in the other thread I might have clued in.

Anyway, you wanted to tell me to fuck off,you just did, and yes, it was unprofessional.

As I mentioned in an email earlier today to a few RPBs, my understanding is the local AM station is broadcasting the game. But the local AM station, 1450 WQNT, does not stream!

However, the local ESPN radio affiliate, 910 AM, is owned by the same people, as is 1340 AM, which usually carries Battery games. So hopefully one of them will have a stream.

Last time an outted BMO field or TFC employee had a suddenly thin skin was when BMO Field had his drama queen exit right before the Argo thing almost came to pass. Fortunately for him he had his "You guys are rude!" exit so the next week when people came here wanting answers....he wasn't around to face the music.

Now normally undercontrol and easily toying with and playing the masses mlsintoronto has a pretty dramatic outburst...hope that doesn't mean there's bad news on the horizon.

Now if he comes back and gives the "I came here out of goodwill, but you meanies are hurting my feelings and now I don't think I get the repsect I deserve so I'm not posting here anymore" reply......

With respect, a lot of people are upside down on this.

Since we don't have an effective football media in Canada (most of the journos - not all, jloome - are bootlickers to the Canadian team owners), this board and the Voyageurs board are the only places where issues get surfaced.

So, for instance, in 2007, when 100% of the media and 97% of the people on here were buying management's line that fieldturf was the way of the future, ExiledRed was one of the only people posting that Fieldturf had to go. He was basically alone on that for months. Now of course it's received wisdom, but it wasn't that way for a long time.

More recently, ExiledRed has pointed out that how the players get paid (or don't get paid) for CCL games may be the reason for their lackluster play in those games last year. Again, I suspect he will wind up being prescient on that.

Does he get wound up and go off half-cocked once in a while? Yes. Do I? Yes. Do you? Yes.

But I am telling you, people like him are critical. And while he may have made his point with too much of a pointed stick, it was and is a valid comment.

MLSE is a commercial enterprise and it's in the interest of TFC fans that they feel like their feet are in the fire. I like Paul, he absolutely does his best by us, but he's just one of many at MLSE. Some of the people above him worry me, and should worry you.

I absolutely feel that ExiledRed made a valid point, and that it was Paul who went over the top. Doesn't mean I don't think Paul is a fine person.

It's ExiledRed (and other tough, thoughtful posters), not Paul, who needs protecting.

I dont think so.

Obviously Paul has been working hard on this, and my flippant comment which was posted in ignorance and wasnt really directed at him or MLSE, rubbed him up the wrong way. I'm sorry I offended him, tbh but that happens when you take posts from random geezers like me too seriously.

It probably has something to do with the fact that I can't sneeze into a tissue without offending somebody, somewhere, and it turning into a massive unneccessary drama. Maybe people think I'm much more important than I actually am, and give my posts much more gravity than I expect they will, I don't know.

I won't be held responsible for any future abstinence by Paul though, like I said, I'm not that important, and never claimed I was either.

I'm not assuming anything, and I don't think they made any money doing it. From the correspondence we had with the Battery the first year they did it for the fans benefit and nothing more....

I was joking around.

And poking a stick at 3 people/groups 1)BMO Field and his convieniently timed exit from the boards (can you believe he got promoted? pissers issues? security issues? waterfountains? etc. etc.) 2) the people here that genuflect everytime mlsintoronto and the dearly departed BMO field post and 3) the people with a vested interest in TFC (MLSE staff /friends etc.) who hide behind anonymous handles.

As I said in the other thread on this:


The second season, they streamed the games with one camera and poor audio.

My guess is that expensive piece of equipment is the one that does the magic from pictures into internet bits.

Actually, the one stream (USL) had piss poor audio quality, the other (CBC) actually had audio that you could hear.

And yes, this year's SC tournament is TFC's third go-around.

My point was simply that it was a single camera feed both times. Which suggests that the magic piece of equipment was the one that made everything work. That's all.

No, they had at least two cameras but the director couldn't direct and the camera ops were barely adequate.

I was being driven crazy as the director insisted on dissolving each time he switched.

Bloody awful .... and while I like Nigel, he was one major sleepy head during those games.

or pretape the game and show the next day

Holy Christ.... I am just as desperate to see TFC in action as anyone else around here, and the fact that the tourney is not on telly or on internet stream is down right disappointing, but the season proper starts in like 2 weeks can we atleast keep some fucking dignity here? Webcam FFS?!?!?WEB FUCKING CAM..........................

I'm not exactly sure what you think I said

In theory someone (no, I'm not volunteering) could set up a camera and do a cheap webcam style stream of the game. If you aren't using a real camera, it will look like shit. If you don't have a real encoder, it will look like shit. If you use a free video host, it will look like shit. That's a triple shit sandwich, and I'd rather stick needles in my eye than watch that crap for two hours.

youtube has a 10 minute limit per video.

^ :rolleyes:

1) pay attention, James doesn't work at a TV station at the moment.
2) TV stations probably wont let former employees 'borrow' expensive gear
3) and if making TV is so easy, then why aren't we all doing it? It can't be hard or anything.

Nascar, there's probably a better thread for your morning enjoyment.

I know everyone is frustrated with the off-season and desperate for anything TFC, but all this talk of web cams, laptops, live chats and other updates is unrealistic. Who do you expect will be arranging this? If CBC and/or the USL were going to do it, it would be done professionally, so that leaves the small group of fans going down.

While it might sound like a nice idea to get the updates to people back home, do you really expect someone to fly all that way and sacrifice their time at the game to be huddled over a laptop, and holding a handicam?

:noidea:

Well I know they have more sense then to think like that. These particular "few hundred fans" will help create thousands more.

It's the nutters you really have to cater to if you want this club to reach it's full potential.

The tournament has been streamed the last two years, it's not like everyone is asking for something new or improved here.

Look at it as a good thing that people are disapointed they can't watch TFC play in a preseason tournament, that's just how much this team means to a lot of fans.

It's unfortunate that this has happened, but the real season is starting soon enough :) Let's just hope we get a lot of pictures of TFC winning the tourney, and also the banners and flags that the supporters will have.

Any preseason friendly games being broadcasted is a BONUS.
Just because the tourney got streamed before, I dont think we should expect it to be streamed again

lolz.

I will be doing video updates from down there, but you have to figure that it takes time to get it done, and I might be drunk after the games.



serious request though: does anyone have a Telus Mike phone? I'm on mike and could be persuaded to PTT updates as they happen.
