  1. Absolutely no need to apologise whatsoever. Valid points and ones I wanted to address for you. KTID Gav
  2. Hi, I feel the need to comment on this. We do use an iPad, the very same iPad I’ve used on a match day for what I do on the tannoy. It’s got a SIM card in it to allow us to switch between stadia WiFi and cell signal. The main thing here is that people don’t know the logistics. We, quite often than not, obtain our pictures from my KTV staff account which shows things at the same time you see it. By the time you see it on your tele, iPad, phone etc, it’s circa 90 seconds behind the actual live in person game. The pictures go from whatever that days home team is, to the broadcast truck in the ground and from the truck to Stream Digital in Livingston and then from there to the TV service. This is why I explained on numerous occasions that were getting pictures in delay. At a lot of grounds it’s hard to connect straight in to a camera to enable us to get a feed there and then which would mean we see replays in real time. Unfortunately it’s not as simply as investing in an iPad to watch it live. This is the same 90second delay which meant we had to delay our tweets to stop spoiling the games for fans. Any sound issues today would have been a problem at Stream Digital’s end as what I was sending to them was perfect in my ears. Hope this helps. Cheers, Gav
  3. Unfortunately we did not have pictures today so were not aware on what was being shown. Sometimes it’s hard to ID players at the other side of the pitch too especially when there are others in the way.
  4. On each PPV there should be an option to listen to home or away Comms. You should be able to get Killie comms no matter where we are playing. It was part of the deal this year.
  5. The first poll is live It’s all about Goalkeepers. Poll is live until midnight on my Twitter below
  6. Hi all, from tomorrow John Boyd (our co commentator) and myself will start a search for the Killie Cult XI with a series of polls for each position. Feel feee to reply below before we get to the polling stage as we want to hear your best players from across the decades to make our ultimate cult XI You’ll find the content on both our twitter pages. We would love to hear your suggestions. Stay safe, Gav #WeAreKillie
  7. That could be easily changed...
  8. Sorry you feel this way, however today was the first game I’ve commented on where I got one of our players wrong.
  9. Hi all. I’m not long home from Dingwall and have had quite a bit time to think of my response to this thread. First of all, I apologise if my commentary was below par last night. I actually said to Scott McClymont and Chris Kyle after the match that I wasn’t happy with my performance, so for that, I apologise. Some of the comments, in my opinion lack a bit of tact, something which disappoints me as we are a classy club with classy supporters, however, myself and the commentary team are no different to the players when it comes to criticism or praise. I take it all on the chin and welcome both, please continue to do that. I’m not going to lie, some of these comments did hurt a bit, I’m used to it though in my line of work but when people perhaps don’t understand the level of prep I put in to a match coupled with it coming from fellow fans, it’s slightly harder to take on the chin. I’d hope though that you’d tell me to my face, should you get the opportunity or if indeed we ever meet. I’m in an unbelievably privileged position to be able to go to matches and all I try to do is describe the action as best as I can. I have to talk more than most tele commentators as we are providing an audio / radio service as well as pictures, for that, I make no apologies as I want all our subscribers and fans to have the best possible experience so I have to aim it more at those not able to get the pictures. I think some of the comments about Alan are a bit too much but again, you pay your money and you are more than entitled to your opinion, again, we welcome this. Our new away match co-commentator, John Boyd, wasn’t with us last night as his wife is due their first child this Saturday so there was no way we were letting him travel nor did he want to. Family comes first. John should be back with us for Rangers away shortly. Alan is there for the older generation of fan as I think he connects more with them whereas John connects more with those who have a more technical mind towards the game. My vision for our commentary is that we be biased towards Killie at all times but we have to say things as we see it. If we are playing poorly it’s our job to tell you this, if the opposition is playing superbly, we have to tell you this etc etc but always keep a Killie bias however, too much Killie bias just sounds cringeworthy in my opinion. We are looking down the road of ex-players alongside John and I at away matches but it’s very much an availability thing. Once we have identified players then we can have discussions with them. Any issues you have with pictures at away grounds are outwith our control we we effectively just “piggy back” on that for our stream as does every away team. One thing I personally promise you is that, we try our best to give you the best experience as possible and when you’re not happy, we and more so myself, hurt and are disappointed in that. Those who are close to me will tell you that I am my worst critic and I am hard on myself as I simply strive to be better each week at my job. I’m never one to shy away from comments and criticism, hence why I’ve decided, with Scott McClymont’s backing, to reply to these messages. I’m sorry again to those who feel I was sub-standard last night. I’ll take all the comments onboard and try my best to make it more enjoyable going forward. KTID Gav
  10. Just to jump in, glad to see everyone had a positive experience of Killie TV yesterday. I assumed the “floor manager” role for us yesterday and thanks to posts on here coupled with me streaming the match on my phone whilst sat next to the commentators in the Frank Beattie stand, we were able to act quickly with Stream Digital to ensure the audio sync issues were dealt with promptly. We were very keen to avoid issues that other clubs endured on Saturday so we made plans to get on top of it quickly. Keep the feedback coming, trust me, it helps us a lot! Cheers, Gav PS - I hear the Adelaide supporters made it home safe to Ayrshire after watching the Hibs match!
  11. I just hope he agrees to my team!! Aha
  12. This week, Rory sat down with us for another in-depth getting to know you interview. He has a wee pop at Aaron McGowan and tells us it’s about looking forward, not back. Feedback, as always, welcomed! We hope you’re enjoying the series and how it looks as well.
