mizza i want to be commentator no.8

Yep. Take a look here: http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/185943,preview-north-queensland-fury-v-perth-glory.aspx

Obviously not at this stage while we're all still learning the ropes, but if it all goes off without a hitch this weekend you should mention where it is somewhere on the main page, KA - I'm not sure many people will realise it's even happening at this stage.

Somebody want to start a thread in AF about it? Just where to find it, etc.

Well, good luck for tonight Scouse!

I suggest posting in the Match Day thread what you are doing - or just starting a new thread. But wait till it's close to KO time.

That's actually the idea for the moment! Once you've got the hang of it and you are all fully committed after having done a few, then we'll let more people know.

I don't want to advertise something that could still be a car crash, or commit us to something that ends after a couple of weeks...

Fair enough! I kinda figured that.

I'm in for the rest of the season, personally, and I guess we'll know after this week whether it'll be a car crash or not. ;)

would I be able to access the text commentary from my iPod touch?

can you pm me all your contact details, we will add you to our contact list.

no gurantee on doing games at the moment, but once weve got this going a few weeks, youll definitely be in.

like KA said, get a bit more active on the forums and be a regular, as we need people who are committed.

Scouse is doing a great job

It's great at the moment I am really loving it. I'd love to get involved when I return from Europe at the end of November.

I can see myself using this to keep up to date while in Europe if I am online while an A-league match is on.

Shame about all the twitter comments clogging it up, especially the spanish commentary ](*,)

We could do with less of the twitter comments. I am really loving the job scouse is doing at the moment.

Ben for PM.

EDIT: I also like the poll option. It feels good to have a poll around again!

killed the #aleague feed - running great otherwise...

Did you want us to create our accounts using real our real names like Scouse has done, or using our usernames?

Don't mind, to be honest

Porn names would be far better, Jack Hammer or Randy Roughrider......just throwing it out there.

Awesome. I registered under imnofreak.

Great work scouse - you just set the standard.

Thanks...very well done.

(It was also a huge help too, as for some reason my Fox 1HD crapped out for the last few minutes of the game, even though the other channels were fine)

No worries. It was fun. Look forward to doing it again on Sunday. :D

Great job Scouse. I sent you a variety of comments under a variety of different names to amuse myself. well done

I wasn't sure which ones to respond to - I guess it'll become more apparent as we get more experienced with it. There were certainly a flurry of comments. Did appreciate 'Chris Grossman's Mum'. ;)

That was me, Scouse_Roar and a couple of others

good start to text commentary scouse, hopefully I also get a chance to be a host

Excellent. :D

Oh, and KA, I'm not sure how big of a net you want this to cover, but I'm happy to do the U-19 AFC final as well if you want coverage of that. Seems like a one off thing that a fair few people would be interested in.

Stay in touch and regular. Ive got your contacts but right now its trial and error.

Looking forward to taking the baton tomorrow!

Scouse that was fantastic, exactly what I wanted when I posted this topic on Monday, and you absolutely nailed it.

The comments from the readers add a special touch, but the twitter feed is terribly annoying.

My stats say we had 81 readers, not bad for the first night!

I didn't know I had the option to turn the Twitter feed on and off - I liked having Laurie McKinna's tweets there, but there was a lot of superfluous ones. I think KA fixed it up nicely for me.

81 readers certainly isn't bad - hopefully the word gets out and that number rises.

It's certainly a challenge for the fingers - I'm sure I'll get better as I get more practice. Hopefully we all have terrific games to comment on.

The positive is if it's a dour match it gives you more time to communicate with the readers. I couldn't believe the amount of people commenting their thoughts.

Not sure if it was buddha taking the piss, but the bloke that said he was looking for live commentary for ages and only discovered this tonight brought a smile to my face.
