film

Saturday was supposed to be the day the local football club started using their new camera to stream games on Facebook. Since it was an away match, I assume they needed permission. At kickoff, after checking the game hadn’t been cancelled—a common issue this season—I saw it was still on, though some nearby matches had been called off. I waited for the stream, but nothing appeared; probably just teething problems. Hopefully, they’ll have it sorted by next week.  

They still won five-nil, with four assists from a player who’d just returned. Despite not playing for weeks, they had the confidence to convincingly beat a decent team. They’re currently fourth in the league, quite far from the top, but with a strong push could grab the second promotion spot. The top place seems out of reach, but you never know—it’s a funny old game.  

The wintry weather seems to have passed for now, and we’re back to the usual rain. I got a link to the game, which was a bit pointless since I’d already seen it, but it let me check the stream quality—and it’s very good. Apparently, the action appears about a minute after it happens, which is fine. It was nice of them to send the link, and I hope the young lads don’t mind being filmed. I imagine some will love it, especially if they keep winning five-nil every week. It was a beautiful sunny day for the game.  

A few days ago, I was on the bus when there was a crash. I filmed the incident, and it’s had 10,000 views on social media. The person in the video with me has had people coming up to him, mentioning that he was in it. I’m not sure if he minded, but I guess it’s brought him attention. I also helped stop traffic from coming down the road, as it was shut, so vehicles had to turn back.  

I am sure others could benefit from having the game steamed to their homes people who can't get to the ground I guess
