Craig Foster is now into the console. Lets see what he adds to our coverage of the Socceroos tonight

Good viewers tonight. 60+ we hit at HT

Hit 70 now as we start Half2.

should do a survey/poll of the people that turn up for the aus games, are they on as they watch the game or are they on here because they cant watch the game

400 atm.

I'd say 75% would be people who can watch but want to talk about it.

391

I also hit 70 during the other Semi so there is some market for non-Socceroo international football

Thanks for stepping in for that first half hour imno, I set an alarm and all

Football is just better if you talk about it while you watch it. I'd say that a large portion just like having a place to talk about it because the missus doesn't give a shit either way that Brett Emerton's cross was awful, etc.

Good job V>H, imno & scouse.

Just remember there is 2 A-League matches today, if anyone can do them, but it's no biggie if we can't, just someone leave a standby note on the console that we won't be doing the games.

Now how do we work out who does the final?

I have put a standby not saying we are taking a holiday break and that we will be back on Friday.

Sounds good, people will be fine with that IMO. Doubt we'll get many watching today anyway. Will post a schedule for this weekend tonight, so if you haven't posted your availability, do so now. As for the Asian Cup Final/3rd Playoff comms, we'll sort that shortly.

Wont be able to commentate any match this week but can be on backup for Saturday night.

i should be able to commentate now, feeling a lot better.

Hey guys, need you all to post when you can commentate. Luckily theres no Friday match, so we've still got time.

Also for the Final, I'm thinking we have one main Commentator, who just commentates, and a Co-Commentator, who does the SB/NF, Comments, and occasionally chimes in with special comments. Sound good?

Cant do any on those games FM but I can be the Co-commentator for the roos match. The Co-comentator should be in a different colour and should respond to all viewer questions. Also, special comments could go something like:
"The Socceroos have an early lead here in Qatar but Japan have just made an attacking substitution and are looking to get back on level terms".

yeah thats sound fine funky. i think thats the only game ill be ok for. for once the bad time is a good thing. ive got guests arriving on sat from the uk early morning so will be with them the whole weekend pretty much and would only be free late night saturday or sunday night

No Friday games? Faaaaark, there goes my chance for a match this week.

Anyone heard from avy recently? Is davidtorres alive?

I agree with mizza, we haven't had those guys commentate in a while.

tentatively put down for melbourne gold coast although i could be going to canberra that arvo
