The ScoutCast Goes Live

There’s bad news and good news. Maybe. The bad news is that there’s no ScoutCast scheduled for this week. On the flipside, that’s because we’ve decided to take on a new approach which offers a new way to β€œenjoy” the weekly get-together with myself, Granville and any guests we persuade/cajole into joining us on air.

The ScoutCast is going live.

From next week we will be using Google Hangouts to stream the ScoutCast recording live. You’ll be able to tune in to the session and have the pleasure of seeing Granville and myself in our humble abodes and you’ll be able to interact live with us, during the recording, with Jonty joining us to fire us your questions and reactions.

If you can’t join us on the night, you’ll be able to download or view the ScoutCast Hangout shortly after the recording and, as usual, we’ll be publishing an edited version, in the usual mp3 format as a podcast, on Thursday evenings.

It will take time for us to adjust to this brave new world. The live stream will expose us, warts and all, to you the listener/viewer, but that’s a risk we’re prepared to take to improve interactivity and take the ScoutCast forward. Besides, with my current rank, I’m at rock bottom with nothing to lose.

Jonty will be setting up Hot Topics and a Twitter hashtag and, when our new live comments system is up and running (it’s looking good by the way), we’ll be embedding the live stream in this and you’ll be able to interact with us in real-time.

As well as Jonty’s return, we’ll be trying to bring in special guests on a weekly basis and we’ve already lined up the first victim for the opening show.

We’ll bring you more details on all this in the days to come and, if you want to be kept in the loop and get involved on the night, we recommend that you follow us on Google+Β orΒ Twitter to get the latest news and subscribe to our new YouTube channel, where all our ScoutCasts will be published from here on in.

If all goes to plan, we’ll see you, or rather, you’ll being seeing us, next Wednesday evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    The biggest risk if getting Aguero in this GW is not his form - it is no Sturridge against Norwich

        As I have Suarez and Sturridge alreay - would be silly to transfer out for Aguero for a TV loss, and then buy back again next GW.

    Help! What to do this week? Got 2 transfers and £1.4m in the bank:

    MANNONE
    WARD ZABALETA COLEMAN Azpilicueta
    YAYA NASRI PUNCHEON
    LUKAKU Suarez Sturridge

    Subs - Marshall, Olsson, Delph, Mata

    Couple of issues to resolve…
    1) To get Aguero or not? If so which City player do i sell? Zabaleta?
    2) Keep Mata and bench through his blank or sell and load up for the DGW? Mirallas/Barkley perhaps?

      Im doing Zab out for probably Stones and Sturridge to Aguero if confirmed fit. Others will say thats bad idea, amd it could backfire losing Sturridge. Im sitting at 20k so might aswell take a gamble.

      I'm considering - the advantage of Stones vs. Baines (or COleman, but have him) is that you needn't transfer him out gain for a FT - just keep him benched as 5th defender. But for me it would be for a hit, replacing Chambers who may also get a clean sheet
