We it's that time again, I am back with the updates on Tuesday (health and heat depending). So I am opening up to you guys to see what you want.

IE more, less or same updates on other championship games when we playing.
Updates on other teams

I am open to changing the lay out if anyone has any idea's. If not See you Tuesday about 6ish for Team news.

Thank you for doing them they are very informative and welcome. The way you do them now is brilliant in my opinion.

Just to let you know that they are much appreciated, i enjoy the format as they are.
 
I think they’re great - and matchday threads are never as engaging on the occasions when you are unable to do them.

One minor tweak I would suggest - when there’s a penalty, you currently post that news, and you then usually edit your post to update whether or not it’s been scored.
If not a bother, a separate post would be better, as the thread has moved on by the time you edit it - and more importantly, when people are reading through the thread, it builds the tension to first see that there’s a penalty… and to have to scroll further to get the outcome. Small things, I know. But it’s more fun that way for me.

Thats one thing I look at, but there is a Time delay before you can repost. Maybe for Penalties mid game it be ok, but for Shoot outs, I'd be posting way to much so will have to be edited.

@JK, is there a way this delay between posts can be circumvented, if not for everyone at least for certain posters like this?
 
I cannot remember what I used to do with penalties when I used to relay the WhitesWorld commentary (as was). My assumption is I would have used a new post as I used to just type what I heard and a penalty would be news.

Can see the problem for the shoot out, but then you do not need the news that there is a penalty because we are in the shoot out (if that makes sense), so just X Scores is enough.

I would then begin the next post with "X's penalty was sent high to the keepers left..." and then the next line would be Y misses for the other lot. (Unless there was time to get the first part submitted and still meet the 30 second requirement)
