The match feed and commentary

The feed records every goal, card and choice on its own, with the score at that moment. You can add lines of commentary, and on Pro, photos and video.

The FEED panel is the match's diary. It writes most of itself.

The FEED panel of a finished match: the note at the top, then a column of entries - goals, cards, the Player of the Match and two lines of commentary.

What the feed records on its own

Every goal, every revoked goal, every card and the Player of the Match, each with the score at that moment beside it. Scoryboard adds its own entries too. Starting a match you dated in the past is one.

Feed entries close up: a goal naming the scorer and the assist, a card, and the running score in a box beside each one, with one goal outlined.

Add a line of commentary

  1. Select Comment under the feed.

    The four buttons under the feed with Comment outlined.

  2. Type your line. There is room for 300 characters and a counter to show what you have used.

    The Add comment window: an empty box, an Add media control, a 0/300 counter and a Post button.

  3. Watch the counter as you type.

    The same window with a line typed and the counter reading 42/300.

  4. Select Post. Your line joins the feed like any other entry.

Photos and video

On Free, Add media asks you to upgrade.

The Add Media window: "You need a Pro membership to add videos and images to your match feed", with a FREE Upgrade (Beta) button.

On Pro it opens your files, and what you choose is posted with your comment.

The Add comment window on Pro with Add media outlined and no upgrade prompt over it.

Pro is free while Scoryboard is in beta. See "Free vs Pro - what is included".

What you will see

Anybody signed in can comment. You do not have to run the team. Only the automatic entries - goals, cards, Player of the Match - are limited to the Owner and Administrators.

The feed reaches every device at once. Nobody has to refresh. See "Live viewers, and following a match from another device".

Comments stop when the match ends. The four buttons disappear and nothing more can be added.

The note is not a comment. The line at the top of the feed is the match note, set once for the whole squad. See "Assigning a referee, and adding a banner or note".

If it does not work

  • There is no Comment button. The match has finished. Nothing can be added afterwards.

  • Add media asks you to upgrade. Your own account is on Free.

  • Post will not work. The box is empty, or you are over 300 characters. The counter tells you which.

  • Your line is not on the feed. Check your connection and open the match again. A posted comment is not held locally.
