Watching games almost live

[Bearsden Bear]

This really is a double-edged sword.

Been watching today's games (ostensibly) live here in Florida, but in reality it is about a minute behind..

Whilst knowing that a goal is coming (or isn't) the excitement aspect of it is somewhat diluted.

On balance, for important games like today, just for the sake of my sanity, I prefer to be exactly up to the second with events, but what do other Bears think?

I think you could just put your phone down and wait the extra minute to see what happens.

Or is that too easy?

Phone on silent and you don't know any different.

Pretty much.

Patience is not one of my virtues.

Well get all devices in the house switched off and you wouldn’t know.

A full minute before we scored on the tv, wife says. "There's a red circle flashing beside Rangers, what does that mean?"

My reply, "Either we've scored or had a man sent off."

Ten agonising seconds later, wife says, "Yes! we've scored!"

Nothing worse watching a stream and someone keeps checking their phone.

I record two or three games a night and watch them one after another so just avoid my phone as much as possible.

Although in the Scottish Cup game against the scum I watched it in my brother in laws house and the neighbour bounced in cheering McGregors penalty save. Hadn't even got to the penalty!

That’s what I do then the smart watch vibrated for Kent’s goal

In the pub for away to the Paisley team on TV and we get free kick and tell evrybody def that Barasic is going to score which he did of course. Didn't say that my score app silebt notification is showing him scoring!! Delay on TV is at least 1min.

You get a message on your phone when a goal is scored. If we are attacking and the beep sounds I know we have scored. If the opposition are attacking when it goes off then…….

I couldn't go to the Dortmund game at Ibrox, so watched it through BT on my phone. The alerts from the Rangers app came up about 30 sec before it happened on BT. Real pain, especially when Dortmund scored.

Should have used those seconds to get on an in-play next scorer bet
