It's clear that if you get in early and load the player up early - you'll be fine. However if you refresh or login during a time where a lot of the big teams are playing at the same time especially Liverpool and/or United - the service can't cope with demand and effectively locks out with the spinning circles.
AJS need to spend some of that money on servers which can handle capacity!!!”
Again, I believe that's an Overplay issue and it's their service which can't cope. Al Jazeera is one of the biggest, richest, sports broadcasters in the world. Their service is designed to cover about 18 countries with however many hundreds of millions of people that incorporates! They're the official rights holder for FIFA events, UEFA events and the biggest domestic leagues in the world... do you really think their service isn't stellar from
within MENA?
They now have beIN channels in the Middle East, France, Indonesia, United States... we're not talking a small time operation so IMO, any suggestion that their servers etc can't handle capacity is off the mark. People seem to be easily forgetting that the service isn't designed for us. We're not meant to watch it!
