ICT v Ayr United - live audio commentary

[hislopsoffsideagain]

Just to give folks a heads up that we should hopefully be transmitting live audio commentary of Saturday's game (if the technology behaves). As with the previous times the plan is to use Periscope. 10-15 minutes before kickoff a link to the commentary should go up on the club Twitter feed.

 

Be gentle with the criticism - I'm doing it solo and it's a hell of a long time to talk on your own!

Good luck with this. Hope those that use it appreciate the effort that goes into it.

Hopefully, everyone appreciates the time and effort put in whether they use it or not.

Good luck and well done for the effort.  I will be at the game and will not be listening but for those who do listen it will be a great improvement compared with the rubbish that the BBC commentary teams provide.

Does this only service the needs those fans who use Twitter. Or will older , but passionate, fans like me have no access to the commentary, etc.?

you can access twitter without having an account, just search up ictfc twitter on google and you should be able to find it, hopecully you can access it this way and get the commentary

No need.  I'm listening on a PC, and I don't have an account with either Twitter or Periscope.

Just go to https://twitter.com/ICTFC and click on the image in the tweet which says "updated link for live audio".

Excellent commentary.  Has been rock solid since you published the second link about 12 minutes into the game.

Very pleasant voice to listen to, and a great commentary on the game without the hysterics that the professionals use.

Though I want to hear you celebrate an ICT goal or six

Thank you very much for an excellent commentary, and many thanks also to everyone involved in setting it up and getting it working.

One happy listener here!

Thank you from Brisbane! Well done! You and the team

Thanks for doing the commentary. So much better than BBC’s effort on Tuesday!

[hislopsoffsideagain]

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. Having listened back I got a bit excited when Donaldson scored and I hope I didn't damage anyone's eardrums!

It'll be back to BBC and BTSport coverage on Tuesday night - not much point in us doing it as well, and the professionals will be using all the tech for their transmissions anyway! Hopefully there'll be more of this next season though, fingers crossed.
