[Football] When football streams freeze....

[Kalimantan Gull]

Watched the game on Saturday on a stream on my phone while walking my dog. Every now and again the signal gets weak, the stream freezes and I have to either wait for it to come back or refresh the page.

I kid you not that these were two exact moments when the stream froze, and I ended up staring at these exact images for about a minute each. That has to be one of the tensest periods of football I've ever watched

It seemed to freeze at the game at both those moments.

I reckon time stood still as Gross' shot rolled towards the goal, and when VAR were looking at Murray's goal.

It's even a more of a *******, when it freezes and you get a notification on your phone when someone has scored, when the urge is not to look and hope that the stream picks up and we've scored.

I can remember a few years ago watching a moody stream of a game away at Blackburn. It froze during the course of a very promising attack when we were breaking into their box. Someone rolled it across the area, and it stayed stuck like that for at least a minute, we had plenty of time to speculate if one of ours or one of theirs would get on the of it. I was too scared to re-load the link as it had taken AGES to get it to work, but then suddenly it sprung back into life with BZ running along the touchline celebrating his goal (which we hadn't even seen).

Felt weird jumping around the living room celebrating a goal we'd not seen, about a minute or two after the event

I was in the upper tier and I think I could have got down the stairs and on to the pitch to clear that quicker than the West Ham defenders moved.

I watch on the iPad and put the phone into Aeroplane mode for this very reason!

Any tips to stop the streams freezing? Is it the sites fault or my laptop/internet connection.
Never get freezing in iPlayer etc.

Well in my case I was walking the coast path of Cornwall so I'm going to blame my connection!

I assume it's a combination of your signal and how many people are trying to watch the same stream, but I'm no expert

Can be either but I think if your connection is generally decent then it's usually the sites.

You should fish in warmer waters.

Get a firestick.....

Not had it as bad as the OP on Saturday but it seems to happen quite often to me as a player pulls his leg back to shoot. Whether it be us or the opposition, it’s equally as stressful.

2003 Rugby World Cup final, Australia vs England.

I recorded the game on a VCR so I could watch it at a decent time. Managed to avoid hearing the score. Game tied at full time, just a few seconds left in extra time, ball comes out to Johny Wilkinson, he goes for a drop goal, the ball leaves his boot..............and the tape runs out...............

That Gross one was mental. I'm staring at this still image, wondering if the ball had the legs to get there, was it on target, if it didn't go in would we get a penalty?

Very nice to see everyone celebrating when the stream finally refreshed.

The Murray one I got to see the first replay before it froze, so I was convinced it wasn't handball, but you never ever know with VAR.

....

The final freeze was with about 20 seconds to go. When it finally refreshed I saw West Ham players and fans celebrating. I thought 'no **** off, they didn't, did they......?' but then realised it was just a replay of Diop's goal

Turn the heater off and on again

I concur. Nothing to be gained breaking the law in the long run you young scallywag. You always get caught in the end and you will almost certainly get your collar felt.

Sometimes a felt collar can be a very fine thing, though.

I've been told that if you have a firestick..

Turn off router, and unplug FS, wait couple minutes, router back on and blue light (BT) then plug FS back in and that helps with streams - Something to do with DNS and IP address's..?

Might transfer to your scenario?
