I enjoyed doing it actually, and if it was of use to folk following the game, I'd he happy to do it again. Think it's best as many people as possible have a crack first before someone goes again though, then we can learn from everybodies takes on how to do it

A little tip those going tomorrow might like to use. Before the game started, I coded a couple of lines into notebook. The instant United or West Brom scored, I'd copy that code and paste it and post instantly, so virtually as soon as the goal was scored, people would know. Then I'd type my descripton of what happened. The code, if you look at the thread, was much larger and made it immediately obvious to the casual reader a goal had just been scored. Bolded 'goal', and coloured the goalscorers team name according to their kit. United were red, West Brom who obviously didn't get used were dark blue

Top effort again tonight. I was at work for the start of the game and it was a great way to follow the match.

I think it read really well ... nice work boys ... bit of a teething problem with the thread title ... but we can just add MbM prefix to the fixture and it will work ...
I think as long as someone is willing to do it there's no reason for it not to go ahead ... especially if folk enjoy doing it ...

so get the PM's in to volunteer!

again, nice work lads

I haven't read it but I hope you mentioned that United outsang Celtic :D
Too obvious! I was typing the chants down! Loved "Are you Rangers in Disguise?".

I'd definitely be up for doing it again, cos I was on a stream, I was slower than the others but it was all good. Will send you a pm moses when I think I can do one.

I noticed we had no minute by minute for the Everton match, i take it that was due to no volunteers?

Is there anybody in to do the West Ham game on Wednesday? or has this died on its arse.

Its not on the tv so unfortunately i can't do it.

I think i'll be doing West Ham. That was supposed to be my first game, before Smurf dropped out last minute like ;)

I'll drop Moses a PM and see what's happening.

I'll do West Ham I think (again dependent on me getting a stream). Will PM Moses. Think it would be good to do it on a weeknight especially as lot more people are at work then, and this (and the Beeb) is the only way they can keep up to date.

With the game not being televised, and my frustration with streams ever growing, I opted to watched the televised London derby last night - cracking game too! But this site has come into its own. Not only can I now download high quality highlights of the game, but I was able to follow the minute by minute commentary on here. Flawless, UAE, it was absolutely excellent. So much better having it done by United fans, and with more than one person doing it, it keeps you right up to date with whats going on

Do you still need volunteers for the Hull game at the weekend? i'll step up if so

Agreed, its certainly a good option for those who can't see the games for one reason or another.

Great work last night by UAE and Flawless.

I think my next game is the Celtic one next week, which as it stands I am still able to do.

Cesc & Pj did an excellent job doing the commentary for the International Rules Series - Ireland - Australia match1 last Friday (post 32 onwards). I didnt get to see the match so the lads kept me informed - absolute gentlemen :cool:

https://www.redcafe.net/f12/2008-toyota-international-rules-series-222237/

So its a great idea you's boys doing this. I think it was your idea Pogue, I had me doubts that maybe it would be a right pain in the ass for ya but obviously not............ yet ;)

Good luck with this thread & fair play to all you young John Motsons :D

I think i originally said i could do it, that though is doubtful at the minute. Hopefully i can arrange it so i'll be home ready to do it.

If we get a few volunteers then i'll step aside, but should we struggle then i'll do my best to do it.
