Still more than 24 hours away

- Thread starter gooDevil

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

why is that funny?
That's a good one.
Does anyone know when the presser is? It'd be helpful to know when to keep an eye on MUTV.

I have to say bravo for the match day set-up, Niall. I haven't seen it yet (don't know if you used it on WC games or not), and it's fantastic.
Yes had it for a couple of holland games
Great work on the matchday section
@Niall I have a query/request - on the top right, where it says "Kick-off:<time>", would it be possible to add a countdown timer which gets activated let's say 24 hours before kick off? This would help people across timezone's to figure out their day's schedule.
Something like:
Kick-off in HH:MM mins

That's a great idea.
The kick off time shows the local time for the user.
It is

3.30am? There's no way I'm staying up for that. If it was on a Friday or Saturday fair enough, but come on. 
I didn't know this. Sorry.
I still want to know if my idea is possible to implement. Might just add to the novelty factor. The added anticipation of the game kicking off in 5..4..3..2..
This match is, conveniently, when I'm in the area for a trip around the US, managed to get tickets so it'll be my first United match away from Old Trafford for about 10 years. Can't wait!
It's bitter laughter, we don't get MUTV in the States and I think the chances of a pre-season game being covered are about zero.
Though I do recall a Chelsea vs. MLS All-Stars pre-season game making it onto ESPN.
I had thought of that but felt it unnecessary. Who is going to sit watching a countdown?!
And the match won't automatically progress to 'In Progress' when the countdown hits 0. A Match Day admin has to trigger this manually. Matches rarely kick-off at the exact second anyway.
The kick-off time is relative to your current location, so I think it's enough. I'll look at adding the timezone beside it at some point so it's more clear, e.g. 20:06 PST.
De Gea
Rafael - Jones - Smalling - Shaw
Cleverley - Herrera
Nani - Mata - Zaha
Rooney
Rafael - Jones - Smalling - Shaw
Cleverley - Herrera
Nani - Mata - Zaha
Rooney
My line up prediction.
Anyone reckon Keane will get a start here? Could see LvG being a fan, and this is as good a game as any for him to start.

I think a timezone indicator would be great, I would probably assume the time listed was local time.
I hope so. But i've already said that i don't think any WC players will start in this match....so M.Keane + Evans
I hadn't thought about the possibility of manual work involved. Great job on this!
De Gea
Rafael - Jones - Evans - Shaw
Fletcher
Herrera - Mata
Nani - Rooney - Welbeck
I don't know about you guys but I'm taking these pre-season games seriously. It's essential that we head into the new season high on confidence and morale.Rafael - Jones - Evans - Shaw
Fletcher
Herrera - Mata
Nani - Rooney - Welbeck
And by 'at some point' I obviously meant right now!
Let me know if the displayed timezone is incorrect for everybody but it should be bang on.
Well, don't I feel silly now.
@Niall I thought kick off was at 3.30am BST? And also is there any way match clocks/time are going to be incorporated in the match updates? Also, how come there are newbies posting in here again?

According to the official site's fixture list it's 4:06am:
http://www.manutd.com/en/Fixtures-And-Results/United-Fixtures-And-Results.aspx
3:30 may be when the TV programme you're watching starts?
Match times won't be in the updates but it's on the to-do list.
I was just going through this twitter https://twitter.com/RedMancunian looking at some training pics and it struck me how little the players are smiling during LvG's training sessions. Under Moyes I remember seeing so many pictures of the players laughing, smiling etc and the tone I always got was lighthearted and jovial, where as under LvG it all looks more serious and intense. Look how menacing he is in the background
Newbies and main members share the match discussions, just like the World Cup forum.
Maintaining two separate match discussions just ain't worth it.
What could possibly go wrong?!
Newbies sharing this space - fantastic work @Niall.
Matchday threads are a clusterf#ck, newbies could hardly make it any worse.
Brave decision. Thank feck we aren't in Europe. We won't have to face the possibility of an influx of Gala fans/WUMs. A few Scousers might slip through, mind.

All adds to the flavour!
Will the player profiles also track assists? I noticed that isn't on their profiles currently.
Hopefully there will have rivers so I can watch it online in Canada.
Looking forward to this, although I am at work when it kicks off. So will be sneakily streaming via work computers t 4:06am :P
Any reason for the kick-off time? Six minutes past?
Something to do with American television according to MUTV.
6 minutes of ads before the game kicks-off probably.
That's a bit too much data to track, but maybe in the future.
