Grandstands, ski sunday and The superstars were brilliant i wonder where Brian Jacks is now? 1 hour ago, RFC Eagle said: Apparently he lives in Thailand. Managing a Hotel/Apartment building. Used to take a radio to the local football pitch and we'd play headers and volleys listening to second half commentary on Radio 2 then it was Sports Report for the final scores. Old BBC presenter now living in Thailand? Nothing suspicious there at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost as if they have taken a total blanket minimum discussion about us, in reaction to the ban. The station is fast becoming a pariah, and it is about time their paymasters in London/Salford sorted this out as they are running this station through the mud. I've noticed that too. Stubbs is never off the BBC, TV and radio, and they are talking Hibs up constantly. I think they are praying Hibs get the automatic promotion place Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a Presenter he was the 'Superstar of Superstars'. He was a Judoka who competed in Superstars he did 100 parallel bar dips in 60 seconds. You are obviously far too young to remember. The sight of Kevin Keegan falling off his bike is second only to his 'I'd love it' meltdown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 17 hours ago, K.A.I said: The periscope lad did good. Fair fucks to him - but we are spoiled rotten. What did everyone do back in the days, not that long ago, maybe 20 odd years ago when hardly any games were ever on TV - you had the Scottish Cup Final and that was it. I've always been a radio hound and can remember listening to games long before I got to one in person. But there wasn't even any radio broadcast and that was the annoying thing, compounded by Radio BBC Ireland announcing that their live game would be the hivs/hertz derby as soon as the final whistle went. That Richard Gordon I think it was sounded almost happy and of course, they hardly reported on our game afterwards, and the next night too.

The Tavernator 279 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 12 hours ago, Thewhitesettler said: I'm pretty sure that Man Utd have banned fans from taking i-pads, and other tablets into the game, because fans were using them to record the game. I don't think that it's illegal to film the game with a phone, however, if you film it, then charge people to watch, I think that is when the plods could be involved. Clubs may very well be able to take fans to court for recording games, using their phones, but it would, surely, be a civil court, not a criminal court, I think?? Comma Man.

Orange Persson 548 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The teleprinter was murder. On many results it stuck on the second teams score. The key kept banging away and it could be a 0 or even a 4. Many a shock result came through like that and you were kept hanging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 When I came to London late 80's I listened to a good few games via my Dad setting up his phone next to the radio and me 500 miles away listening in, it seems prehistoric but that was my only option for live coverage.

Inigo 32,534 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Fuck UEFA and fuck all this TV coverage. Outside Rangers I'm bored with football now. I think I'd actually take the old days where you listened on the radio and the odd live game felt like an event. UEFA dictating what can be shown when is a fucking outrage in a democratic society. They're giving fans of all clubs outside the top division elite the finger now with this and their plans for concentrating the elitism. Fuck it all.

Regular Grandstand and Saint and Greavsie are on the list of demands as well. Ceefax and Teletext will return, as will Scotsport and Sportscene on Sunday afternoon and Saturday night respectively. Now that I'm greetin anyway, I demand the return of Land of the Giants, Little House on the Prairie, Glen Michael's Cavalcade and Lost in Space on a Sunday, and Cannon and Ball and that wee Dusty Bin character on a Saturday night.
