Barnet Highlights

Ha Ha,    "unbiased commentary" Just gets a bit getting used to.
My initial input about Macca was that his reflex saves are great, but he doesn't command his box, and after watching vid highlights I'm sticking to it.
Barnet's first two goals were because the backs didn't shield the goal, not much the goalie can do from that distance, but the third is everyone's fault. Goalie and backs. The goal was so simple, it wasn't true.
Everyone is raving about McAtee (and to be fair, he's is usually at the finish), but it's Sousa that makes it happen. When was the last time the Mariners had a player who could beat the opposition backs and fire into the penalty area? Errrr it was errrrr................????
The Mariners do, as a team, look good in most areas. I haven't been this positive for a lot of seasons.

I love the commentary. It's biased commentary, of course, insomuch that they want Grimsby to win, but John always calls things as he sees it, and if the opposition score a great goal or deserve to win, he'll say so.

For me, it strikes the right balance. Sees it how we see it, occasionally lets out the odd comical frustration ("no marking!') but adds something to the occasion.

And I disagree that he talked over the roar. When Hunt scored the winner there was a good 7-8 seconds of silence behind the mic when you could hear the whole ground celebrating.

The club always used to put out 10+ mins of match highlights each game when we were last in non-league. I really disliked the EFL edits for iFollow, with commentary added on afterwards.

"Crikey" another John Moore fan 😁

Good that they work together well because this partnership looks likely to continue if the Shop is out injured for some time.

I wouldn't play LJL in preference to them anyway, they looked brilliant on saturday

Does anyone know if there is some contractual reason why the YouTube channel can't put the full match online as well as the highlights?  Some of us who can't get to games ( because, for example, like me we live in different countries ) might enjoy watching the whole thing. It's difficult to get a real feel for the team and its individual players and their strengths and weaknesses from a few minutes of edited highlights, welcome as those are. After getting used to watching games live for the last few years, I'm still getting used to just commentary and brief highlights two days later.

I doubt there will be anything in the forseeable future, but they talked about this on the DN35 podcast with AP and JS. They mentioned the ability to limit streaming to those areas where people are not likely to go to the match. AP also said he was offering to help the NL review their broadcast contract to see if there was anything that could be done.

That third goal looks even worse on the highlights than it did on the day, he just casually walked through out defence and stood on the goal line to knock it in. Commentary right "what were we doing!?", nothing. That's the problem.

The Matchday Moments highlights are You Tube are pure class, really good work and slick presentation from the club.
And that free kick and the player reactions celebrations deseves its own highlight.

Yep, absolutely brilliant that as always. Having seen things from a closer angle I'm still of the opinion that Taylor's headed equaliser was absolutely class and that red card was harsh - the ball appears to strike their defender somewhere around his armpit as he attempts to prevent himself from getting a broken face.

Ah well, never mind eh...

Poojah - agree with you that their red card did look a bit harsh - he was about 1 yard away.   Class cross and class finish for the header as well.

Excellent highlights - just watched them.  The infuriating thing about this though - all the things the new guys are doing right (well informed youtube clips, good highlights, treating fans with respect, sensible ticket offers) isn't rocket science.

We should have had this years ago!

Anyway - not enjoyed Town this much in years.

From that angle it looks less harsh to me than from the original highlights. The guy throws his arms up in an ‘unnatural’ way on both sides but not in front of his face.

I thought it was very harsh at the time, but looking at the highlights he doesn't just go to block his face, he waves both arms in an arc in front of him.

Both handballs look deliberate to me, but done in a manner to try to look like they aren't.
