I think we can all agree than without francis and MDS, the blog ran well tonight. I would also consider to add @GrantlyBernard to our twitter list. Check out some of his tweets and see what you think.

Good first up effort tonight mate.

Just 1 thing, if you're going to say 'join .... for tomorrow's coverage' just try get it right ;)

Ben Clark isn't commentating the game this arvo.

i find all this enthusiasm great. can i suggest though,

if you logging in to the console to set it up for a coming game or something, please tell the commentator of that game. the commentator may get a bit confused if he finds polls and scoreboards up and lineups posted and stuff and hes not sure if hes done it or he dsnt know and then does a duplicate.

so feel free to help out if you needed, but inform the commentator in advance. the lineups that come on the 442 website are not the actual lineup, so we should wait for the ones to come on the tv i think.

Agreed Zimbos, but people like to see the squads

They do, but the point is, It should be left to the actual commentator to be posting that.

I think from now on, we'll say that it's up to the Main Commentator to set up polls/Scoreboard and Lineups before the match. If they request someone else to do it, sure. But otherwise, that should be the responsibility of the main commentator. I agree with Zim, it can get very distracting for people to have somone else doing things that aren't expected.

That a good idea, FM

Hey guys,

Is mirza, MattM?

It is mizza yep

Cool. I have launched the console and as soon as he join, ill exit. Good luck today Matt

Wow, just remembered this one kicksoff at 7pm, not 6pm. Have put it back on Standby now

This is why I just said, to leave the pre-match stuff to the commentator who is doing that match. That's there responsibilty, because it's 'their' match. Leave it to them, because we don't need people messing around with the console in between matches.

Point taken and learnt from.Moving on...

we enjoy the enthusiasm and we all have points to learn here. this is a new venture and we need to get it right.

everyone must not take criticism the wrong way and remember that we trying to get this right.

Nice work tonight Matt. Really well done

Epic fail by me on the "away" match. :D

Just had to correct Ben's error there with the standby message. Good work by all the weekend and i enjoyed being a part of my first match as commentator. Ill take the things i have done this weekend and will endeavor to make my coverage even better next time around

See you all Wednesday!

what happened, i missed it.

I left the standby message as 'North Queensland at home to Newcastle'.

haha....

well at least we got Victory>Heart the eager beaver.

He will be right on to correct everyone.
You on Wed Night Zimbos?

It's Imno on this wednesday IIRC.

For what it's worth, I still think scouse_roars commentary takes the cake, very in depth and provides good analysis.

Considering 2 weeks ago this was still an idea in my head that I thought would never comes to fruition, I'm stoked of where it's gone!

im glad we doing this. i often log on to 442 thinking ill get live updates, but nothing.

thanks for getting it rolling.

Yeah, credit to you Mizza, you got this going.

I've started a Feedback thread in AF. We've had Commentary for 2 rounds now, so most people will have followed it, and it'll be good to get some constructive criticism/feedback. Hopefully we get some good ideas/advice through this and can keep improving.

The idea of little images intergrated in the console window was a great idea. What i did is I uploaded some images into the media uploader. They are under the 'uploaded images' folder and they can be used by just clicking on them. Hopefully they enhance our coverage

Do you mind showing me what images you used? And Maybe running it by me first next time?

The images are just there if people want to use them. I probably should of let you know before, sorry about that #-o

Cheers mate. You do a great job yourself.

Glad I finally have something that combines my encyclopedic knowledge of football and my fast accurate typing. Hopefully I can integrate some running jokes into the coverage.... or some music metaphors

Jets v Fury game cancelled. No midweek commentary for me.

Saw that. Unlucky mate
