Editorial Team 2011

[tm4tj]

Hi Guys

Here is another plea for our own forum users to write some articles for the main page of CTO. If anyone would like to submit articles, especially previews and reports please add your name to this thread and I will be in touch. Last season we had some fantastic previews/reports from gingerjaggy, alternative maryhill and our intrepid biker davie. I know there are others on here who could provide us with some entertaining and informative articles, but it's up to you to come forward and offer your time and effort to keep the articles flowing. We also had a guest appearance from IHE and the different styles added to the quality of the experience.

I know who I would like to see on here, but I can't force it upon anyone, so don't leave it to the same handful to do all the work, share the load and share your views for the enjoyment of all site users. I will pm the editorial team once we see who is interested.

Don't be shy, cliche central awaits you and we can accommodate plenty of different styles, variety is the spice of life and we can throw in more cliches than Jim on the apprentice.

This is part of last seasons plea.

I am trying to establish who our editorial team are. We need Previews and Reports for every match. This weekend we have Motherwell on Saturday and nobody has come forward with an offer of a preview for this game. Ideally an article should be ready for publication by Thursday evenings for a Saturday match. We can make any amendments to the article after that, but we need a bit of time to check over any article and submit it for publication on the main page.

I could sit down and write every preview and every match report all season, (wife permitting), but people get tired reading the same style of article every week, and I am no expert, just keen to see the site develop and articles are always great for the visiting masses. Last season we have had a handful of contributors, with some excellent articles amongst them, notably Alternative Maryhills version of war and peace. Each to their own, and davie offers a totally different style, bit like a cryptic crossword. Some folk prefer the straight factual approach a la gingerjaggy, some like to get right to the point. All articles are correct of course because there are no right and wrong ways to do them. It's great to have individual styles as that makes for interesting reading.

So, bottom line I suppose is, I need previews and reports coming out of my ears, and in time to get them published, especially previews. Previews I find, tend to take longer as there is a lot more research required to find out who is playing etc. Reports require the accuracy which can be easily gleaned by video evidence and now we are in the SPL there are usually plenty of text reports available to enable us to get the picture.

Here we go then..............., are you up to doing a preview for any game.

Remember these articles are for publication on the Main Page of the site which can have lots of visitors so the articles must be clean and not contain any abusive/racist/etc etc etc etc etc, I think you know the script.

For those of you that have access to the editorial forum already, please copy your articles in there and we will publish them as soon as is practicable. For those without access, please pm them to scotty and tm4tj and we can upload them from there. Once we see that articles are gushing from your pen, then access will be permitted to the editorial forum. Nothing too exciting happens in there, but it means that you can post your preview/report in the correct forum and we will take it from there.........simples peeps.

I will await the rush of hits on my messenger now.

Anyway, cheers for listening guys and hopefully we can keep the articles flowing.

Go on then - seeing as I'm still on holiday. I'm thinking I might not make quite as many games this season though, so it would be great if a few more people got involved in writing reports and previews.

Give me a clue as to what you mean by subdued by comparing these narratives:

PROCTOR :rotflmao: What a feckin bombscare - yon fecker is the white Zbebi Zadi.

PROCTOR :rotflmao: The lad made a couple of unforced defensive errors but it is early season and he can only improve

I'd love to help. I know I have done a few bits before but I have a lot more free time to write now and I would love to do some previews and reports (when I can get to the matches that is). IHE I thought the above post was about me for a minute.
