Thought it'd be nice if we had a thread for football programmes, especially now it's WC time and there are lots of interesting things about.
I noticed tonight (1 June) there are:
BBC3, 20:00 - The World Cup's Most Shocking Moments
Richard Bacon and guest presenter Peter Crouch look back on the 50 greatest shocks in the history of the World Cup, covering the last six tournaments and including moments such as Maradona's `Hand of God', Zinedine's Zidane's headbutt and England's penalty pain. Featuring accounts from people who were there.
More4, 22:00 - The Power of the Game
As well as following the qualification campaigns of South Africa, Iran and the USA for the 2006 World Cup, Michael Apted looks at the difficulties Iranian women supporters face in watching football matches live, how apartheid still affects the sport in South Africa and how the Americans are trying to overcome apathy to football, or soccer as they know it, at home.
-
The Power of the Game sounds canny.
-
Guest presenter Peter Crouch? I sense it will be very :facepalm:-worthy.

Aye, it'll be pap. The other thing looks grood, though.
-
Crouch presenting? That'll be class. :lol:
There's that Piers Morgan in South Africa thing, dunno when it's on though.
-
Crouchy is possibly my favourite footballer comedy wise, always make's me laugh :lol:
-
There's that World Cup tournament thing starting soon too.
-
Football shows on BBC3 are always s****.

I think there's the offical world cup 2006 film stiaght after that.
-

Ah right. Whats that about? Think its worth a watch?
-
Crouchy is possibly my favourite footballer comedy wise, always make's me laugh :lol:
Yeah i like him aswell, he is funny and doesn't seem to be a typical footballer who is rapped up in his own self importance and he actually has a personality.
-
ESPN Classic have been showing the official FIFA World Cup films/Classic Matches recently, definitely worth catching.
-
Just been watching the england v argentina game from 2002. Butt had a stormer, didn't put a foot wrong!

:thup:
Seems a very sound bloke.
-
Soo.. the world cups most shocking moment, and they don't even show it because it's an oh so offensive headbutt..
:facepalm: x 1000
-
Pleased I gave it a miss now. :lol:
-
Not bad this if anyone's watching on More4. Landon Donovan said he'd rather beat Mexico than qualify for the WC.
-
The BBC3 thing shocking moments was actually pretty good. Crouch was hilarious. :lol:

"What would you be if you weren't a footballer?"
Crouch: "Probably a virgin"
:lol:
-
I'd seen the More4 piece before.
In all honesty it left me with a real dislike for Landon Donovan, I appreciate he may have since changed but he came across as incredibly lazy and arrogant. He openly claims was happy to play in MLS over Germany, which is fine, but the fact he so openly claimed he would have made it, and been a success. It was almost like he just didn't want to put the work in, which is sad, he seems to have enjoyed his time at Everton, and I can see him trying to get back to Europe post World Cup.
-
The BBC3 show was class ;D Crouchie has a future in comedy......."The Crouchie and Stephen Merchant Show"

Yeah i thought it was funny too.
Is it possible that the footage wasn't shown because it may have cost too much ?

That's what I would have thought.
The program was actually pretty decent. Some s**** 'pundits' but also some interesting ones (Shilton, Seaman, O'Leary etc).

Alan Shearer to play match for Soccer Aid
Jun 2 2010 by Dan Warburton, Evening Chronicle
TOON legend Alan Shearer will roll back the years when he pulls on the famous Three Lions jersey once again.
The retired star will line-up alongside some of the world’s greatest players when he takes to the field at Manchester’s Old Trafford for the charity football clash, Soccer Aid.
The record goal-scoring 39-year-old is hoping to emulate his performance at Wembley two years ago when he bagged a hat-trick in the Unicef game.
Shearer said: “I still play a couple of times a week with mates. And there’s no greater incentive than scoring goals at Old Trafford.
“I always enjoyed playing there for Newcastle United. You rarely came away from there with any points, but I'm hoping we’ll get the right result for the match.
“I’m hopeful of scoring a couple of goals and giving Fabio Capello something to think about.”
England will take on the Rest Of The World, which will feature a mix of professional and ex-professional footballers and celebrities.
It is hoped the game can repeat Soccer Aid's fundraising feats of 2006 and 2008 by raising well over £1m from gate receipts and viewer donations.
Raising money is his main focus, but Shearer admits something else has got him really excited – French giant Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane joins the likes of Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs, Luis Figo and Henrik Larsson in the Rest Of The World team.
Shearer said: “The player I’m most looking forward to playing against is, without a doubt, Zinedine Zidane.
“He was one of the best players I ever played against for England so it will be magic to see him in action again.”
Asked if he would volunteer to take a penalty, he said: “Daft question – too right I will. You should never have to ask strikers if they want a free shot at goal.”
The game will be streamed live across the globe as some of the world’s greatest pull on their boots.
In the last two Soccer Aid outings, more than £4m was pledged from viewers watching the broadcast on ITV.
Alan said: “Unicef is an incredibly important charity. The work they do around the world protecting the rights of children can never be underestimated. It’s a truly worthwhile cause.”
Henrik Larsson is also taking part in the game, alongside cricketer Brian Lara, chef Gordon Ramsay, pop singer Ronan Keating, and ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.
Harry Redknapp will be managing the England team, with comedian James Corden as assistant manager.
Coached by Bryan Robson, the line-up also includes pop-star Robbie Williams, who has co-ordinated the event with Unicef.
The game comes just days before England kick off their World Cup campaign in South Africa, and Shearer today claimed the team had every chance of lifting the trophy.
He said: “I think we are realistically one of three or four that could go on to win it including Brazil, Spain, Germany and Argentina. We've got a chance but we’ll need Rooney fit and at his best and we’ll need a bit of luck.”
You can see Soccer Aid live from Old Trafford on ITV1 this Sunday from 6pm.
-
Shearer playing 5-a-side jeez, he would be excellent
-
What's the betting Lehmann still goes aka at one of the opposition?
-
So apparently David O'Leary scoring from 12 yards out is more shocking than Andreas Escobar getting murderd! :lol: (Wasn't even on the list! :lol:)
-
Currently, FSC here in the US is running a TV series called "International Football Rivalries". I assume this has run in the UK. Does anyone know the total run of the series and the rivalries featured? Think I've stumbled on England-Scotland, England-Germany, Germany-Netherlands, and Brazil-Argentina. Any others?

12.30, FiveUSA: Soccer Dog - European Cup
"This movie is a total disgrace the research must have been zero as it is full of terrible mistakes and is clearly filmed in the USA by someone who does not even know what Scotland looks like
As a scot it made me extremely angry as to how we were portrayed in this bargain bin rubbish
The accents are terrible, They didn't even bother to put UK number plates on the cars in the film whilst I accept the film is a light hearted kids movie, they should realise we are not all kilt wearing long haired Mel Gibson look a likes Time for the director and producers of this junk to spend a little time on research."

18.55 - 19.55, ITV4: FIFA World Cup: Greatest Goals

Hopefully the greatest goals programme will have the Brian Moore commentary of the Owen vs Argentina goal.

Personally I'd go for one of Pele's in the '58 final, the one were he flicked it over the defender's head.
-
This is a cracking thread btw Keefaz. :thup:
-
Tonight looks good. Glad it isn't Britain't Got Talent!! Great thread

Brian Moore? The Metro Radio DJ?

The dead guy. I didn't care for him much but he's great on that goal. Similar to the Barry Davies commentary on the Bergkamp one, just loses control and it makes the moment seem even better.
-
The metro radio guy ffs. :lol:

:dowie:

Anyone watching this? Some of the commentary's a bit s****, but the goals are niiiiice.
-
Also, anyone complaining about the new ball, look at the bend on some of these shots.
-
The goals are good, but everything else about the show is s****.
Clive Tyldsley.. :angry:
-

ITV, innit. Utterly f***ing s***. Goals have been good. Some I don't remember seeing before.
-
I've just turned this on, has the Brazil goal against France in '86 (I think) been on? The teamwork goal. Love that.
-
f*** off is that the 5th greatest World Cup goal of all time.
-
f*** off is that the 5th greatest World Cup goal of all time.
Exactly. Bullshit. Shouldn't even be top 20.
-
Eh? I'm sure they've got these goals in the wrong order.
-
Similar to the Barry Davies commentary on the Bergkamp one, just loses control and it makes the moment seem even better.
Meanwhile Peter Dreary makes it sound like a tap-in in training.
-
He's one of those players that go cool in what I call hot situations.
:lol:
-
Pele's volley in the '58 final is the greatest IMO. Or at least the greatest solo effort.
-
Honestly would've been a superior programme without the talking heads.
-
What the f*** is this?
Dramatic music. :lol:
-
WHEN FOOTBALL ATTACKS!
-
Some amazing stats so far, tbh.
-
A Nigerian keeper has never found a teammate with a long kick? Eh?
-
For having a good defence, you must apparently have a good goalkeeper and defenders.
-
Christ this is bad.
-
They've contrived to make a load of s**** out of an interesting study.
-
They say they've taken a big sample, but it's really no where near big enough to come to many concrete conclusions.
-
I've turned this off like. Absolutely gash.
-
For having a good defence, you must apparently have a good goalkeeper and defenders.
And apparently, you need goals to be winners.
-
Italy haven't scored direct from a free-kick in their last 52 attempts. Sounds unbelievable.
-
Big Sam'd love this. Basically supports his entire philosophy.
-
Italy haven't scored direct from a free-kick in their last 52 attempts. Sounds unbelievable.
It is when you think of some of the free-kick specialists they've had over the years. Although Del Piero has always been turd in international tournaments.
-
The fake commentary's hilarious. :lol:
-
The fake commentary's hilarious. :lol:
Was just going to say...that commentary on the Maxi Rodriguez goal was just ridiculous :lol:
-
See those pen stats make no sense. 81% of pens in matches scored, but only 66% in pen shootouts. Aye, but almost all pens during matches are taken by experienced penalty-takers. Mongs.
-
I reckon Big Sam is having a soapy w*** in the bath to that show btw.
-
No surprise we're the worst pen takers. Useless c***s.
-
I reckon Big Sam is having a soapy w*** in the bath to that show btw.
He's had a busy week:
"There was a pregnant foreign lass on the bus who looked disgusted. I clasped my balls tightly and sang "Land of Hope and Glory" at her."

Thought Cambiasso's team goal for Argies should have been higher, absolutely love that goal

Better than Carlos Alberto's.
-
England v Cameroon from 1990 World Cup on ESPN Classic right now. 2nd half just starting.
-
Piers Morgan programme on now - can't stand the t*** but might be good.
-
"Get the World Cup Piers Morgan style" = time to switch over.
-
Programme's theme will ultimately be undermined by the massive f***ing ballaching c*** that is Piers Morgan.
-
I'd rather put me ballsack in a vice than watch a TV show fronted by Piers Morgan.
-
South Africa: if you thought apartheid was s***, just wait until you meet this w*****.

If anyone still has a thirst for goals, the top 50 Champions League goals is on SkyOne currently.

Aye

If that was actually as off the cuff as it seemed and not completely staged, then, fair play Lampard. Nice gesture.
Piers Morgan is still t*** btw.
-
He's a right bell-end! "2 and a half billion people watching you - that's even more than I've had" - Yes, because your a t*** of the highest proportion.
-
He's a right bell-end! "2 and a half billion people watching you - that's even more than I've had" - Yes, because your a t*** of the highest proportion.
Aye, couldn't believe he actually said that. I rewinded it to make sure I hadn't misheard, he said it like such a c*** aswell. The unbelievable c***.

Putting Piers' twattery aside - It makes you appreciate how much of a difference football makes to peoples lives and furthermore society.
-
f***ing hell they dropped that one out of the blue. What a sickener man. RIP to that bloke.
-
EDIT: R.I.P Singer dude! Fuckin' hell.... :thdn:
-
Is he deed? That singer? I haven't been paying attention...
Aye, died of meningitis just a week or so ago.
I put up with Morgantwat for that whole show and was left feeling depressed that the poor bloke died right at the end. Man.

It's kind of made me want South Africa to do well in the World Cup that show...
-
It's kind of made me want South Africa to do well in the World Cup that show...
Aye. I want the host to do well every tournament though, kinda loses a bit of the atmosphere when they crash out early. I think they'll do rubbish though, unfortunately.
-
I hadn't actually realised South Africa are unbeaten in their last 12 matches. Not sure if they've played anyone decent in that time though. Maybe they have got a chance to progress.

8:00pm - 9:00pm, ITV4: FIFA World Cup Greatest Moments
Matt Smith looks back at the World Cup's greatest ever moments, including England's victorious 1966 final against West Germany and Brazil's brilliant win over Italy in 1970. Journalists and pundits including Clive Tyldesley, Robbie Earle and David Pleat give their views.
10:00pm - 11:30pm, More4: True Stories: Albino United
Teams on away games often face a hostile home crowd, but none so blood-chilling as those braved by Albino United, Tanzanian footballers who all have the condition that affects skin pigmentation. In recent years, many albinos have been killed or maimed so that their body parts can be used by witchdoctors in potions and remedies. As World Cup fever sweeps Africa, Albino United head out from Dar es Salaam to tour dangerous territories around Tanzania. They hope to convince the crowds that attitudes towards albinism must change. "We have decided to show people we are humans," says one player. "We are not here to be sacrificed." This rough and ready film shows glimmers of heart in the darkness.
10:35pm - 11:05pm, BBC1: Panorama: Man United - into the Red
Red is the colour of Manchester United - but now it's as famous as the colour of the club's balance sheet. Thousands of its fans wear green and gold - a protest against American owners the Glazer family who, they say, have saddled the club with a growing mountain of debt. On the eve of the World Cup - and ahead of a possible bid for the club - John Sweeney explores the battle for the soul of United, the true scale of its debts and its ramifications for our national game.
Add any I've missed, leyk.

This programme reminded me how mint Zidane was for headbutting Materazzi. Should have done it in the face though tbf, bit less dangerous.
-
Only one of Materazzi and Zidane got their hands on the trophy that day.
Zidane lost it at the biggest moment of his career, nothing mint about it, just stupidity.
-
All those photoshops that came out afterwards were mint though.

Celebrating South Africa as it becomes the first nation in Africa to host the FIFA World Cup. Featuring South Africa's stunning landscapes, architecturally unique stadiums and stark social environmental contrasts. Six personal stories provide a window on to the world of six very different South African children.
8:00pm - 9:00pm, Channel 4: Come Dine with Me WAGS Special
You thought Come Dine with Me was as rancorously daft as TV could get, but no: they've cranked it up further with a gang of footballers' wives and girlfriends and the result is horribly, cruelly funny. It's just too easy to mock Wags when they're as ditzy as this lot. "I could talk about shoes all day," coos Chantelle Tagoe (Emile Heskey's other half) as she fondles a pair of heels that may have cost £1,200 or £1,800, she can't quite remember. Meanwhile, Jude Cisse passes off cucumber as papaya and movingly describes the romantic day when Djibril proposed marriage to her by text message. Aah. It's worth watching for the interiors alone - the sofas with rows of cushions four-deep, the floor-to-ceiling shelves for your handbags and the gilt throne for the hostess to sit on (the Cisses have something of a gilt complex). The strangest thing is that you may decide by the end that for all their clueless decadence, in at least three of four cases, these really aren't bad people.
8:00pm - 10:00pm, BBC3: World Cup's Most Shocking Moments

Eh, is this a f***ing joke? They can't show the Zidane headbutt because it's too shocking? What the f***?

Did anyone watch Come Dine With Me? That Nicola T (who was on big brother) was canny but the rest were dense!
Yeh I enjoyed it. None of the nastiness that the normal episodes have, although Cisse's wife is annoying. Nicola and Ireland's lass were great, but Heskey's piece shows about as much emotion as Ryan Taylor.
-
Heskey's lass showing off the huge canvasses of Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela whilst admitting she didn't really know who Martin Luther was, was facepalmtastic!

7:55pm - 9:00pm, ITV4: How To Win The World Cup
Repeat of the absolute load of balls from the other day.
9:30pm - 10:30pm, BBC2: World Cup Kick Off Concert
Ridiculous opening ceremony thing with local acts like Freshlyground, the Parlotones and Vusi Mahlasela. More recognisable will be the international visitors to Orlando Stadium, including Black-Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys and Shakira. Somali-born singer K'naan will perform his song Wavin' Flag, which is the anthem for the whole tournament. Apparently.
9:00pm - 10:00pm, C4: Come Dine with Me: Footballers Special
After the creme brulee of last night's Wags edition, this is more like suet pudding. But it's worth watching for the less than stellar assortment of former England footballers - Neil "Razor" Ruddock, John Fashanu, Frank Worthington and Carlton Palmer - who take part. The results are as painful as you'd expect: lowlights include Ruddock answering the door dressed only in an apron and Worthington's back-to- basics attempt at vinaigrette. It's not for the faint-hearted.
9:00pm - 10:30pm, BBC4: Hero: The Bobby Moore Story
Documentary telling the story of Bobby Moore, who has passed into football legend as the captain who led England to its only World Cup victory in 1966. Together with highlights from his career, he is remembered here by his family, friends and fellow footballers. The skills and determination of the East End boy who went on to lift the World Cup are recalled by a host of greats including Pele, George Best, Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law, Bobby and Jack Charlton, Alan Ball, Geoff Hurst and David Beckham.

10:35pm - 12:20am, ITV1: Sixty Six
It's 1966 and England is hosting the World Cup finals. It's also the year that 12-year-old Bernie celebrates his bar mitzvah. But guess what? The final match and Bernie's big celebration both fall on the same day. And, as England's hopes of taking the trophy rise, so the scale of Bernie's bar mitzvah falls. Suddenly, even close family concoct reasons to be stuck in front of the TV on the day that Bernie has looked foward to for years, and has planned down to the smallest detail. But at least the growing soccer mania leads to an improvement in Bernie's relationship with his rather distant father. Gregg Sulkin makes a likeable lead as Bernie and Eddie Marsan gives a solid performance as his dad, but the real revelation in this engaging coming-of-age comedy is Helena Bonham Carter, who's nicely cast as an ordinary wife and mother.
12:20am - 3:20am, BBC2: World Cup Kick Off Concert
The complete concert for those with brain damage.

That Sixty Six sounds appalling.

That Sixty Six sounds appalling.
64%
Consensus: Likable but overly sentimental, Sixty Six has snatches of sharp dialogue but is ultimately too predicable.
** . . .
Despite the whimsical voice-over and gloopy, sentimental tone, it's a hard film to dislike and boasts a wonderfully lugubrious performance from Eddie Marsan as the round-shouldered schlub of a dad.
Roger Ebert has a good review here: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080826/REVIEWS/808289986/1023.
Probably crap.

8:00pm - 9:00pm, ITV4: FIFA World Cup Greatest Moments
Matt Smith looks back at the World Cup's greatest ever moments, including England's victorious 1966 final against West Germany and Brazil's brilliant win over Italy in 1970. Journalists and pundits including Clive Tyldesley, Robbie Earle and David Pleat give their views.
10:00pm - 11:30pm, More4: True Stories: Albino United
Teams on away games often face a hostile home crowd, but none so blood-chilling as those braved by Albino United, Tanzanian footballers who all have the condition that affects skin pigmentation. In recent years, many albinos have been killed or maimed so that their body parts can be used by witchdoctors in potions and remedies. As World Cup fever sweeps Africa, Albino United head out from Dar es Salaam to tour dangerous territories around Tanzania. They hope to convince the crowds that attitudes towards albinism must change. "We have decided to show people we are humans," says one player. "We are not here to be sacrificed." This rough and ready film shows glimmers of heart in the darkness.
10:35pm - 11:05pm, BBC1: Panorama: Man United - into the Red
Red is the colour of Manchester United - but now it's as famous as the colour of the club's balance sheet. Thousands of its fans wear green and gold - a protest against American owners the Glazer family who, they say, have saddled the club with a growing mountain of debt. On the eve of the World Cup - and ahead of a possible bid for the club - John Sweeney explores the battle for the soul of United, the true scale of its debts and its ramifications for our national game.
Add any I've missed, leyk.
This programme reminded me how mint Zidane was for headbutting Materazzi. Should have done it in the face though tbf, bit less dangerous.
I liked it how they speculated that Materazzi told Zidane the ending of Lost; not the only man getting worked up about the show it seems. O0

Frank Worthington just made a vinaigrette, cut an avocado in half and then accidentally just picked up the straight malt vinegar and filled the centre of the avocado with vinegar. Served it up, Ruddock's face was a treat. :lol:

As World Cup excitement reaches fever pitch, a quest to reveal the worst England team of all time. Through a mix of archive footage and talking heads, including Razor Ruddock and Mark Lawrenson, the show is a light-hearted and somewhat heated debate of who should win a place on the shamed team. No-one is safe, as the criteria is not just based on blunders on the pitch but also dodgy haircuts and misdemeanours that have occurred in nightclubs and recording studios.

There's a Zidane thing tonight on BBC2 has it been on before and if so was it good?
It's meant to be canny:
Zidane: a 21st Century Portrait
12:50am - 2:20am
BBC2
Following the lead of Hellmuth Costard's 1971 study of George Best, Football like Never Before, this audacious documentary tracks Zinédine Zidane for the duration of a La Liga game between Real Madrid and Villareal in April 2005. Technically, the film draws attention to itself far too often, with its tricksy shifts between camera angles (courtesy of Se7en cinematographer Darius Khondji) and distances. But, as a study in sporting concentration and an avant-garde experiment in spatial disorientation, it's as compelling as it is impressive. Particularly striking is the unswerving intensity that seems to isolate Zidane from his team-mates, as he rarely calls for the ball or issues instructions throughout the match. Indeed, he remains emotionless - apart from a grin at Roberto Carlos just before joining the goalmouth mêlée that results in him being sent off. Revealing the flaws as well as the genius, this is clearly a portrait of an artist at work.

TIME OF OUR LIVES - NEWCASTLE 'Howay The Lads', Sky Sports Series hosted by Jeff Stelling, with guests Frank Clark, Bryan 'Pop' Robson and Bobby Moncur. ON SS1 now
-
Decent documentary aired on ESPN a couple nights back here in the US called The Two Escobars (http://30for30.espn.com/film/the-two-escobars.html) about football in Colombia in the 90s, the drug cartels, and the killing of Andrés Escobar.
Really recommend catching it if you can if only to see the interviews with Asprilla, Valderrama, Higuita. What a terrific group of players they had.
I hadn't realized that the players had received death threats right from the beginning of the tournament. Something about the players being killed if the wrong player started the opening match versus Romania. A lot of drug money was being laundered through the Colombian league clubs and cartels were competing to ensure that their players-- the one's contracted to one club or another--- and not those of their competitors started and were put in the shop window---it wasall about increasing their sale value.
Pretty sure that Brian Glanville still maintains that the Colombians threw the match against the USA.

Well said madras.
I loved Italia 90 but England were quite lucky to get to the semis and went out to the first quality team they went up against.

the startling thing is we could have beat germany and on that form could have beat argentina and won the world cup on the back of 2 decent performances and 5 poor to s*** ones. (theres some out there who think winning the world cup makes that team the best in the world)

It's not really as much to do with the performances as it is the character of the players. At least that team seemed to give a s***. Poor performances or not.
Of course, why enjoy a moment of decent TV about Bobby et al when you could be needlessly stirring s*** on the internet.

i thought the refernces of tears were to do with gazza. anyhoo sir bob or not, it's not healthy to misrepresent the past out of niceness,

While looking for repeats of the Gazza program, I've noticed that tonight at 11:15 is a program called "World Cup Rock 'n' Goal Years" on ITV. Think its just a look back on different World Cups. This ones about 1986, then right after there's one on 2006.

Well said madras.
I loved Italia 90 but England were quite lucky to get to the semis and went out to the first quality team they went up against.
The mists have time have completely over exaggerated Englands performance that World Cup.
We drew with a class Germany and went out on pens, we didnt get dry piped 4-1 off the German youth team like the current shower of s***

I made no comparison to the current team. I was saying that we stumbled through italia 90 against mainly average teams

Sir Matt Busby's family incensed over TV portrayal of iconic Manchester United manager
The family of iconic Manchester United manager Sir Matt Busby have criticised a new BBC film depicting the story of the 1958 Munich air disaster in which eight of the Busby Babes were killed.
The feature-length drama, titled United, stars Dougray Scott as Sir Matt and former Doctor Who David Tennant as his assistant Jimmy Murphy, and is, according to Busby's family, riddled with inaccuracies.
The 90-minute film, which will be shown on BBC Two on Sunday, centres around Manchester United first-team coach Murphy and how he rebuilt the team while Sir Matt recuperated from his injuries, and also how 20-year-old Bobby Charlton coped with his grief following the accident.
But the dramatisation has angered Sir Matt's relatives, from the clothes he wears to the way his character is portrayed.
"The film-makers have put my dad in an overcoat and a trilby hat," Sir Matt's son Sandy told the Mirror. "He looks more like a gangster than a football manager.
"In the film he never appears in a tracksuit, which is ridiculous, given he was the first 'tracksuit' manager of his generation.
"And the way he’s played, with head constantly to one side, is all wrong. My father was a proud man, proud of his fitness and of the way he carried himself.
"They’ve also got his character all wrong. In one scene, my dad is talking to Alan Hardaker [former Football League secretary] and speaks to him in a manner and in a tone my father would never have used.
"I wasn’t consulted about this film and, after seeing it, I’m glad I had nothing to do with it.
"The film-makers said they would protect the feelings of those relatives affected by the Munich disaster. But I was very upset watching the scene involving the third [and fatal] take-off of the aeroplane and had to leave the room."
Harry Gregg, the former United goalkeeper, who pulled Sir Matt and several team-mates - including Charlton - out of the wreckage, was also critical.
"Sir Matt had an aura about him and everyone respected him. But he certainly didn’t walk about in a trilby and a camel hair coat, as he does in the film.
"The film portrays us as a pub team. To me that is a terrible insult to the great footballers of that generation, the likes of Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor.
"If that’s the way the United team of that time is portrayed, what does it say about other great players of that era, like Billy Wright, Dave MacKay or Danny and Jackie Blanchflower?
"The film gives a totally false picture of football at that time, which is what angered me the most. In the film, Mark Jones [United defender who died in Munich] is smoking a pipe in the tunnel before a game. I know there’s poetic licence, but that’s ridiculous."
Sandy added: "My dad appointed a loyal staff including Joe [Armstrong], who was chief scout and responsible for discovering many of the Busby Babes. But there is no mention of him in the film."
United secretary Walter Crickmer and coach Bert Whalley are also barely mentioned, while the eight journalists who were killed in the tragedy are omitted from the film.
United's director James Strong, said: "We’ve made every endeavour to be as accurate and truthful as possible in spirit and intention.
"We want this to be a fitting and appropriate memory of these amazing players, this amazing team and this amazing story that a lot of people are aware of."

i'm hoping that was an ironic post but i doubt it.
my nephew was an extra in the shooting of it (most of it was filmed up here) but doesn't know if his scenes are kept in.
-
Thought 'United' was very good. David Tennant in particular was brilliant.
-
I could slightly understand this if there was any logical reason for the BBC to make this programme.
I remember all the sadness and and sympathy after the crash being a young lad at the time.
But utd have been dining out on the sympathy vote media-wise for far too long now and, to me, this only shows that it's set to continue.

Oh the irony :lol:
-
my sisters just been on the phone and yes my nephew was on a few scenes (second half sub in the holland top for those that played in the blues/reds game i played in)
-
The portrayal of Sir Matt was a strange one. They got the voice right, but the character in the drama seemed to have almost a sinister air about him.
They also seemed to want to blame the disaster on Alan Hardaker and the Football League's insistence on the team getting back for the Saturday fixture. There may be some complaints about that. My understanding was that the decision to go for the third, disastrous attempt at taking off was Busby's. He was probably concerned that a postponement would lead to the players being very late and tired for the game on the Saturday.

God forbid any other team should go through a terrible tragedy and steal Liverpool's thunder. Boycott the BBC, justice for the 96.

Yeah I thought that was a little bit hammed up. Agree though that it should be treated in the same light as The Damned United, which was also very good.

Overall it left me feeling depressed as f***.

I did wonder how Bobby Charlton felt about his own portrayal, because he came across as a pathetic wuss. I assume there's some element of truth in the events, but there was probably some exaggeration for the sake of the drama.

Saying Dave Whelan is a old school chairman who takes the clubs debt from his own money, the right thing to do according to Alan Sugar and this programme. Does that put MA into the same category?
Yes. BUT, whilst Whelan does it for the love of the club Ashley does it to protect his investment.
-
Personally, I thought that was a bit interesting. Sugar does bring up a lot of good points but then again it's stuff that has been discussed before.
-
In the end, I wasn't sure how well Sugar really understood the problem. He portrayed himself as a life-long Spurs supporter who got involved as the owner out of some community spirit, but I can recall at the time him saying that he saw Spurs as a useful addition to his business portfolio in the media / entertainment business. I'm not sure that he really identifies with the bond that supporters have with their club and which gives the game its particular character.
A club is not just a business, it's also a community institution. That produces pressure on owners to take risks with their spending, but it's also the reason why there's so much pressure and desire to keep clubs going even when they go under financially. Sugar's idea that fans could do with learning a lesson by seeing a 'disaster' was a bit naive.
Basically, the game can't be regulated entirely on a business / market model, where an enterprise that's financially unviable simply disappears. It needs to be regulated from outside, by the authorities that govern the game. That process has only just started, with the financial fair-play rules, but hopefully it's the start of a continuing trend.
-
I wonder with the financial fair play rules whether we'll see examples of teams openly flouting the rules.
For example, Man City saying "you can keep your Europa League / Champions League, we'll keep spending until we win the league then we'll look at sorting ourselves out". As has been mentioned before though, it's massively open to rule-bending, e.g. what's to stop one of Abramovic's mates from buying a corporate box or sponsoring the academy for something daft like £5-10m a season. Time will tell, although I fully support the logic.

Can't really comment on Sugar and his relationship with football - I was only 3/4 when he bought Spurs.

I need to watch this properly without my laptop at some point, bits I've seen have been quality.

Does he have to look at his watch every time he says "at 11 o clock today"? :lol:

He's a mentalist :lol:

This sounds interesting. I'll have to give it a watch. Any really eye-opening bits to share on here?

For some reason I think Dekka will be like him behind the scenes.

It was class when he went running around the stadium going "NO POINTS DEDUCTION! NO POINTS DEDUCTION!". Reminded me of:

That was a good watch :thup:

Great show. Whenever I see footage of teams celebrating winning the Championship in the dressing room i always look for the players that know they won't kick a ball in the premiership. Everyone's all like :hello2: :bounce: :headbang: :occasion14: :clap2: and one or two are like :okay:
Always thought that face looks like 'arry. Anyone else see that?

There's an hour-long program about the rise of Messi on ITV4 tonight, 10-11pm.
-
just seen that on the guide...i'll be giving it a watch
wonder if they're swiftly editing the end to show tonight heroics ha
-
Cheers Fugazi, will stick it on record.
-
What this Messi show has made me realise above all else, is how ridiculous he looks with long hair.
-
what i want to know is why the f*** has monkey heed been allowed on the show to give an opinion
-

To be fair, he was one of the players Maradona p*ssed on wasn't he?
The big question, is why is Townsend giving an opinion like it means something?
-
Was the Messi documentary thing any good? I pretty much avoided it - I'm of the opinion that the majority of ITV's football documentaries are pretty crap.
-

Good, if only to see Messi's best clips as a pro and some nice clips from his as a youngster. Pointless in hearing a bunch of non-committal pundits saying 'he's one of the best ever, you have to put him next to Maradona and Pele, they're in the same group, but the best? We'll have to see'
He's quite obviously the best in terms of talent and consistency
-

It was OK, if you've read about Messi then you pretty much knew everything it told you anyway. There was some interesting archive footage though, pretty much from him being just old enough to run right up until his professional debut. Worth a watch if you've nothing else to do.

Will see if I can catch it on ITV player.

Just finished watching the the QPR thing today. Great stuff. Those italians were nigh on impossible to work with. No wonder they got through so many bosses. Actually felt quite emotional watching them celebrate the FA verdict, even though it wasn't my club. As a football fan, i think you can appreciate what fellow fans go through at times. That must have been an agonising wait, not being able to fully appreciate winning the league. The only reasons i'd want QPR to go back down are Mark Hughes and their overpriced ticket prices.
-
think the new owner reduced them, dunno by how much
-
Why was there an hour-long show about Man Utd on ITV the other day?
-

It's called the Europa League or something.

Nah not the match coverage. There was an hour long documentary called 'Glory Glory Man Utd'. Seemed to be an unnecessary bumfest, even by ITV's anus-voracious standards.

Yeah just watched it as well, those Italian (especially Briatore) are that fan you are glad doesn't run your club. Every game it's 'he's s***, get rid' 'this manager is an idiot' 'sack that coach' 'all we ask is that you win every game' :lol:
The Asian lads seemed spot on though, especially Bhatia who I felt really sorry for as you knew he was struggling with the Italians and their approach to things.
-
I was looking, but couldn't find, a table of the number of times each club has been televised this season. Anyone direct me to such info?
It seems like we've been on the box absolutely loads this year.

I watched it on Virgins' catch up service a couple of days ago. Try typing it into the catch up search if you have virgin tele. That's where i accidentally found it when looking for something else.
Love that type of show personaly. Takes you back. Reminded me of school, when everyone was wearing assorted shiny adidas strips. Man City and Brighton were wearing them in this episode and they were the in thing for teams of that era.

Why do you hate Saha again? :lol:

Why do you hate Saha again? :lol:
Because he's f***ing s**** and one of the luckiest footballers around.
If he hadn't had so many injuries he'd be playing in The Championship now, complete waste of space and another footballer who seems to have one of these made up careers.
-
That's bollocks like. Saha was mint at his best.
-
That's bollocks like. Saha was mint at his best.
He f***ing wasn't man, he's never played well on a consistent basis apart from a season in The Championship, he's got a made up career and he's f***ing s****.
-
He's not like, you are spouting utter s****.
-
Strong, quick, two-footed, intelligent movement and could head the ball. If it wasn't for injuries he'd have been class for Man U. In fact when he did put games together he was.

Quick, I'll give you that, not strong, can't head the ball.
If it wasn't for injuries he'd have never lasted so long at Man Utd, as they'd have seen how f***ing s*** he was much earlier.
-
He put a full season together for Fulham and Man U in 2003-2004 and got 20 league goals.

keep an eye out for a documentary called 'paleda'. youngish couple travel the world playing in street games, in a bolivian (?) gail, with iranian women etc. really good watch. I saw it on PBS byt it's probabaly available elsewhere.

Whenever he played consistently he would score. He was a talented and effective forward who's career has been curtailed by injury problems. Ridiculous vendetta.

The Joe Cole feature on Sky Sports News was good. Never liked him before, but loads of respect to him for going to France and making a success for himself. More players should do that.
-
This Campbell feature is very The Day Today.
-
How the f*** did these get to host the euros? f***ing mental.
-
Horrendous scenes there, f***'s sake.
-
These videos of Ukrainian fans on Panorama are appalling. Metalist fans turning against their own fans simply because they're Asian.
Would not want to be at Euro 2012.
-
Most of that programme was pretty unsurprising to the majority of football fans, I'd wager. Eastern European clubs getting petty fines for racist incidents and abuse has been going on for years and years, it's not a new thing to uncover sadly.
The footage of those asians just being ran at and beat up was f***ing shocking though, they didn't appear to be doing anything but watching the game.

Totally sickening. Fair play to them for going in the firstplace like, if I was of asian descent living there the last place I'd be going to would be a game. Cops were doing f*** all too.

Only got mobile broadband tonight (am at work) - can any of you's give me the jist of what is being said on those Twitter accounts, please?

Shocking footage on that documentary, but I can't help but feel they slightly tipped the odds by going to local derbies and the like. Also don't really feel that there'll be much violence at the Euros, if any. There's usually some kind of story like this before a tournament. Still, by the looks of things their domestic leagues need a hell of a lot more policing and organised punishments.

Metalist Kharkiv are in the Play-off round of the Europa League along with NUFC. So are Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk who are another Ukrainian team.

Seems it was more a denouncement of the country's culture, in which it seems this sort of thing has been deemed acceptable by certain groups in society. I'd question the practical relevance to actual Euro 2012 matches. Not that the behaviour is anything but disgusting, of course.

It's obviously wrong and not something they should have to consider but you have to be questioning who thought it'd be a good idea for them to go a football match there.
Didn't watch it but I'm guessing nothing new was covered, football fans are c***s for the most part?

I know, even the lush Anna Friel warns him against it in her underwear, the little mercenary prick was the best player we had.

Probs the wrong thread but f*** it. Watching "One Night In Turin" at the mo - I'd blanked out from my memory how cuntish the utter c***s of the press were to SBR when he was England manager. The usual suspects are all there, f***ing Woolnough and the rest, "In the name of God, go", etc. f***ing t***s. And then THEY turned on US when he was getting on a bit and the kids in our dressing room got a bit beyond him. Ffs. And don't get me started on f***ing Thatcher and f***ing Moynihan, the jockey-shaped arsehole. I'd line up the journos in a row and machine-gun the c***s without a second thought.
:lol: I've had a bad day at the twatting office, haven't I? Now we're going to lose to f***ing Germany on f***ing pens again. f*** this for a game of soldiers! :lol:

Nm, shops and pubs would see a slight increase in sales of alcohol and taking for the day of the final, the sun would make 66 pages of Roy bumming special and that would be it.
Was actually a thing in the paper this morning how shops are predicting a £1 billion loss in England-themed tat that they're going to have to sell knock-down now :lol:
Watched this last week. It was s***. Jason Manford and a load of non-football people making weak "jokes" for an hour.

Football is God. Sunday at 10PM on ESPN Classic if you have got it.
From Danish filmmaker Ole Bendtzen, Football is God explores the close relation between faith and football – and the lives three people lead… in the name of the Father, the Son and Diego Maradona. The film follows three fans of Argentina’s Boca Juniors club – Hernán, Pablo and La Tía. Hernán is an intellectual, intoxicated by a love for Boca he cannot shake off. He finds himself torn between reason and his emotional needs – a struggle that threatens to destroy him. Pablo is a working class man who believes legendary former Boca player Diego Maradona is a God – and has a burning desire to meet him. La Tía is an elderly eccentric. She considers the Boca players her sons. The film follows La Tía in her pursuit of delivering a birthday present – a pair of boxer shorts – to her favourite player, Martín Palermo.

Premier league years 11/12 is on Sky Sports 2 now.

Nice one, recording
-
Saw 11/12 Premier League Years last night. Considering the season we had there's an embarrassingly low amount of coverage of us.
-
Even if we finished in third place we still would have featured less.
Don't understand, we were the surprise package of the season, shocking from Sky yet again.
Beewwww FTM.

Recorded the Premier League Years and watching it now. Despite them mentioning our great start, they showed about 10 seconds of footage (Ryan Taylor, Over the Wall) and that's been it - and we're well into f***ing October now. Joke.

f***ing shocking, when it said "Return of the King" I was expecting a Lord of the Rings style thing... it was like Harry Potter. :lol:
We were only shown: Over the Wall, 1-3 at Stoke, getting beat off Man City away, beating Man U 3-0, beating Swansea 2-0 (the first mention of Cisse - April 6th ffs), beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and then getting beat off City and Everton. Pathetic really.

keep an eye out for a documentary called 'paleda'. youngish couple travel the world playing in street games, in a bolivian (?) gail, with iranian women etc. really good watch. I saw it on PBS byt it's probabaly available elsewhere.

The England squad of 70 was better than the 66 one....had it not been for Banks being nobbled along with Ramsey not quite ever grasping substitutions, we'd have given Brazil a close game in the Final. Seen a film of this before and it's a great tournament.

Is there a real conspiracy theory about this? As a wee bairn I loved the 1970 tournament like, sneaking into the living room while me parents snored to watch matches at midnight with the sound off, brilliant. We should've kept Bobby Charlton on, like. As you say, we had a better squad than in 1966.

Dunno why I'm subjecting myself to 2 hours of Motson on this WC1990 semi final rerun. His voice is a long-term constant source of infuriation. Shut up, John. Shut the f*** up.

It was a genuine attempt at the ball and Berthold's reaction certainly got Gazza booked, agreed. Enjoyed the 90 World Cup merely because of the England progress but overall, entertainment wise it wasn't a good one.

-
Is it me or are the jackpots on pointless low ???
Yeah, it's really underwhelming compared to something like Deal or No Deal which is a horrific show with a large payout.
The worst is Perfection, where the prize pot plays a huge role in the game itself meaning that the poor c*** who enters after a winner stands no chance. He'll have like a grand, half of which he'll have to try and persuade one of the other contestants down with to change his answers, something they'll never do because you don't enter gameshows to win £500.

I know Neil Baldwin from my time at Keele University in the early 90s. He was a singular individual.
The urban myth was that he was a professional footballer that had been run over by the number 18 bus that used to run through the campus and as a result was given a flat on the campus. Obviously that was utter bollocks. He used to watch us play 5-a-side and shout 'Ee-aww, donkey' whenever anyone f***ed up.
I'm totally freaked out that they have now made a tv programme about him. Wtf.

Jeez, didn't know where to put this. Catching up on last week's TV and Thomas Hitzlsperger was on The Fantasy Football Club. He's a brave lad, and well done to him. People should be free to be what they are. I spent most of the show wondering how his inclination wasn't immediately obvious though, I mean, if I was in a shower room full of naked athletic soaped-up young ladies I think it'd be enormously apparent, hugely so. Massively, I need to make that quite clear :lol: So everyone must have known, right?
Dammit, man. I can't sit at work without thinking "You know, I totally would" when some lovely lass strolls past, and then have to stay seated for minutes until things subside. And then plotting how this could really happen. :lol: Like f***. Nee wonder I get nowt done. Divven't tell wor lass.

Alexander Armstrong presents an FA Cup special, quizzing a selection of players, presenters and pundits. Those plumbing the depths of their general knowledge are broadcaster Gabby Logan, MOTD2 host Mark Chapman, commentator Jacqui Oatley and Final Score presenter Jason Mohammad. They team up respectively with pundit and former player Robbie Savage, player-turned-coach Phil Neville, ex-QPR midfielder Jermaine Jenas and player-turned-assistant manager of Lancaster City Trevor Sinclair. As always, Richard Osman is the man with the facts at his fingertips.

What an odd show, so counter-intuitive. I thought it'd be loads of football questions, so a bit disappointed, but I got a pointless one in the last round, the Donna Summer one, "I Feel Love".

Really getting sick of BBC Football coverage. Always thought they were way ahead of ITV but have sunk as low.
I like Lineker but the analysis from their "pundits" is appalling. Robbie Savage is one of their headline acts ffs
You can see Lineker a bit embarrassed on MOTD when he gets such s*** responses. Savage just shouting 'penalty in my book!'
Dreadful

Goes in chronological order. 70s last week was class, 80s this week just as good. Thoroughly recommend

Glenn Hoddle might have some wonky views when it comes to disability and reincarnation, but he was class as a player and he should still be coaching.

Best player I've seen live. Never seen anyone come close to him in the passing stakes. He used to do 60 yard Hollywood passes but his would invariably hit the target.

Next Goal Wins. Absolutely brilliant stuff. :lol: I'd recommend anyone that hasn't seen it already to just watch it. Immensely uplifting and probably represents the antithesis of NUFC, despite our similar losing streak.

:thup: Wanting to watch the first 2 for a bit of an education and an excuse to seek out YouTube videos but the one tonight will be a nice reminder of when football wasn't boring as sin.
-
They're a dying breed because w*****s like Pulis, Allardyce and Pardew are more bothered about players working back. It's all about scraping enough points to stay up. 40 points then ease off, place on the gravy train secured.
Again, too much money in the game means that pure flair players aren't worth the effort. Just look at Ben Arfa.

Looks like Daveed is on!

Adverts after 8 minutes...

Think my favourite character of these mavericks has to be Frank McAvennie like.

That's really f***ing annoyed me from Le Tissier, considering he's now one of the 'he could play for a big club' tossers on Soccer Saturday that wants to funnel all the promising players to the same top two or three clubs the minute they play well for a couple of months.
-
Always felt that Le Tissier stayed at Southampton because he could basically do what he liked.
-
Can only remember him being seriously linked with Chelsea once, maybe Spurs as well. Eventually became apparent he just didn't want to move.
Fantastic player to watch like, was glad to see some (not all) of his goals again.

Was canny, that. I do like the guy. I hope he finds form again.
-
I always like seeing how footballers live tbh.
-
I just can't subscribe to anything bordering on hero worship with Rooney. I don't see how anyone who doesn't support Man Utd really can.
-
Wish he'd stayed at Everton.
-
Just a shame the player he threatened to be in 2003/2004 never really took off. England top scorer and within reach of Man utd's - he's been an excellent player but thought we had an absolute superstar on our hands then
-
Have a little more faith in Rooney being a genuine bloke than most footballers.
-
I like the way he's so s*** now he's had to give up refereeing the game at the same time as playing. See also Terry, John.
-
He does seem to be a decent guy
-

We did, then he decided he was happy being very good as opposed to world class.
He had extraordinary natural ability but clearly hasn't put the effort in to reach that potential.
Ferguson also coached most of the excitement out of him.
-
Didn't watch the documentary so can't comment on how nice he comes across, but I always find it quite funny that the whole 'shagging OAP prostitute' thing doesn't come up (admittedly not on this particular intervirw, more just in general).
-
:lol: She wasn't an OAP like. Obvs whoring around behind your lass's back is the problem, but, y'know.

Suggestions for what I should search for re: Young Rooney?
-
Thought he came across really well in that. Good watch.
-
He was so f***ing much better / more interesting when he was 16/17.

Wayne Rooney Snr seems like an interesting man.

At least those two others he paid to have a threesome with weren't too shabby.
-
came across ok i thought, however, my nephew did a coaching session with him last week in liverpool, was a nike thing, and it was surprise that he was there, only about 12 kids. they wernt allowed to ask for autographs or pictures.
s*** crack.
-
I never realised he was arguing with the referee during the run up to his absolute thunderbastard of a strike against us. It looked hilarious.
-
Just catching up on that Rooney thing
Wayne Rooney Snr seems like an interesting man.
Doesn't seem like his missus lets him get a word in edgeways. :lol:

The Rooney/Walcott/Cahill convo :laugh:, so awkward.

if you have Sky Sports and go to their catch up service, click on the Newcastle section there is 'the story of Ayoze Perez'

The Boys of 66 documentary was absolutely superb!
It's repeated at 10pm on Sky Sports 1 - well worth a watch!
-
Martin Peters was some player like. Generally overlooked when discussing greatest England players.
-
Hearing Hugh Johns commentate on the 66 final brings back memories of Sunday afternoons as a kid when he commentated in the Central area on Star Soccer for years. Different areas had different commentators. London had Brian Moore, East Anglia had Gerry Harrison, North West had Gerald Sinstadt, Yorkshire had Martin Tyler, Roger Tames did the North East after Kenneth Wolstenholme. Can't remember the South Coast one, might have been David Bobin.
You'd get highlights of the game in your area followed by briefer highlights from around the country. It wasn't as good as Match of the Day but it was good Sunday afternoon fayre. Indeed when commercial television won the Saturday night contract in the early 80s, there was a public outcry and Match of the Day came back after a couple of years away.

That takes me back. We had 'Shoot' covering the North East with a main game on a Sunday. Even Hartlepool and Darlington were chosen sometimes. When i think of the toon on Shoot i'm getting images of Peter Withe in a Bukta shirt in front of a half built leazes end. Feeling very nostalgic now.

Is the Euro 96 one the most glorious defeat in England's history? Typething? I mean, obviously we lost and it shattered the last best hope - but it gets worn as a badge of honor in many ways. Not saying it's a bad thing.
-
Always goosebumps with Three Lions.
-
Three Lions is such a class song
-
So agonising how close Gazza was to getting a touch.
-
Gazza man ffs
-
Where was Uri Geller for that semi then? ... Tosser.

Has there ever been a better set of 10 penalties? Almost all of them postage stamped in the top corner.
-
f***ing Germans and their penalties.

How much do they practice pens ffs, every one f***ing unstoppable :lol:

Ince showed two years later he couldn't take a penalty, tbf.

Got the semis and the final in 2020 haven't we??

Not sure a footy doc has got me so up for it. :lol:

Baddiel and Skinner paint the perfect picture of what was going on that summer on and off the pitch. Great to hear them talk about it.

Feel so much worse for Southgate watching that again than I did at the time.
-

Three Lions is such a class song
I loved it, hairs on the back of the neck and that. Everyone else hated it at the time. :mick:
Srsly they first played it on Fantasy Football and I taped it (VCR, f*** off you young uns) and played it half a dozen times off the belt. It's the hope that gets you.
-
Brilliant that!
So gutting how we didn't win it! Just over a month after we failed to win the league too!
-
All I can remember about Euro 96 is absolutely loving Three Lions and collecting the coins from Sainsbury's. :lol: Wish I'd been old enough to understand the hype.
-
That was brilliant that programme!
Euro 96, what a tournament man.
-

All said and done, the team didn't perform that brilliantly at the tournament. Draw in the first game, in danger against Scotland when the penalty was given, labouring past Spain then playing well against Germany but ultimately losing.
However the set up was glorious. The tournament was in England of course, the footballing landscape in England was being revolutionised and Italia 90 was the last time the national team showed anything of interest. The team was also full of leaders, captains, players in their prime. Seaman, Adams, Pearce, Ince, Gazza, Platt, Shearer, Sheringham... and I'm probably forgetting others, all leaders in their own way.
Add to that the folklore of the atmosphere, some memorable goals, the thrashing of Holland... and finally the fact that we really did come an inch away from beating the old enemy and possibly winning the whole thing.
Again, Baddiel and Skinner speak really well about that time as whole. They did so in the doc tonight, but have done previously over the years in their podcasts or shows.

Just caught up with the show last night, as someone who was only 2 in the summer of 96, I don't remember any of it, except my dad coming in from work singing Three Lions. Never really liked him but thought Sherringham came across really well, and I find David Seaman hilarious for some reason

Watching that reminded me what a brilliant commentator Barry Davies was. Pretty much every clip they showed last night contained a great, eloquent little line from him, or a great reaction to what had just happened on the pitch. Motson always was and still is absolute garbage in comparison (and is getting worse and worse).

Just watched it, next summer looks like it'll be a bloodbath. The worst part is it's not groups of equally retarded fuckwits meeting up for a scrap. The world cup will be like Marseille, organised Russian gangs attacking English fans, most of who aren't interested in fighting. Sixty year old blokes getting kicked unconscious is just sickening.

We were strongly linked with Weah, Baggio and Sukar a few times. I used to love Italian football, it was exciting and the games were often of high quality and there was some mad score lines. The colour on the stands and atmosphere as well. I remember Inter and AC playing on a rain drenched pitch that looked like one big puddle and they played what I called ping pong football to move the ball about as passing on the deck was impossible. I thought f***ing hell, these are good players and good teams. Loved Signori, that Parma team and had a soft spot for Sampdoria whose kit I had. Loved James Richardson and Brackley.

Much preferred it myself, played by characters who smoked/drank that could win games with outrageous skill rather than rely on 6ft athletes who could run 16k a match.
The world cups from England 66 to Italia 90 were great as well, and p*ss all over anything in the last 20 years.....in my opinion anyway.

Just watched One Night in Turin, great documentary. The media back then were far worse than they are now, an absolute disgrace and the way they hounded Sir Bobby, vilified players and promoted hooliganism was shambolic. I read a book many years ago by a fan who went over there who basically wrote a diary and he detailed how the sun actually tried to get fans to throw chairs, bottles and basically cause a nuisance by offering fans money. Our politicians were no better, basically given their respective Italian counterparts the freedom to adult fans, target them and treat them like s****. Irocally they were one of the best behaved among the most supported teams’ fans, our game winning back European football.

Debatable when you look at the way Stirling is treated, fantastic film though.

Enjoyed The Three Musketeers one about Beckham, Zidane & Ronaldo during World Cup 98.

People either forget or just don't know that as England manager, Bobby wasn't that great. He probably should have been sacked after Euro 88. We would never have qualified for the second round in 86 had the selection of Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins been taken away from him. He did seem more flexible come Italia 90 though, but his use of subs in the semi weren't very good. It was crying out in extra time for Steve Bull to set about the German defence but he left alone. Possibly could have took Shilton off for penalties too. I don't ever remember Shilton saving a pen and sure enough he never got near any of their pens
-
Love the History Channel showing these. Watching the World Cup 1998 one now and I don't remember it at the time but I watched the videos on repeat and it's bringing back some childhood memories. I used to pretend to Fabien Barthez in the back garden (without the shaved head)
-
I didn't realise there were so many empty seats for the Semi against West Germany

My fave World Cup: vaguely remember Italia 90, bored by the US World Cup: so 98 was when the love started: some great games
Italy 2-2 Chile
Brazil 4-1 Chile
Eng v Arg
Arg v Holl
Eng v Romania
Croatia v Germ
USA v Iran
Spain v Nigeria
Denmark v Brazil
And many more

Eight years in the hot seat (third longest serving England manager). 95 games, with better results (w47 d30 l18) than achieved with Newcastle. It’s easy to pick out woulda-shoulda-coulda choice points, decisions he might have made etc. There are also lesser, in my opinion, shorter serving mangers wth better records, many of which include more meaningless friendly wins. But I think he got so close to winning the World Cup with two well organised England sides that my main take on his tenure is he was unlucky. There was a nice bit of footage of him from Italia 90 which perfectly captures that feeling,

I'd say we got close to winning 86 World Cup in spite of him not because of him. Then there's the dismal failure to qualify for France 84 and the pathetic showing at Germany 88. Not as bad as any of the recent managers nor his immediate successor, but in my opinion, not a good England manager.

Obviously, you’re entitled to your opinion. Harsh though, in my opinion.

Hed never have dropped Wilkins if not suspended nor Robson but for his shoulder which wouldn't have brought in Peyter Reyd and Steve Hodge which fully allowed our best midfield player, Glenn Hoddle to properly flourish .
-
Yep, fully get the gist. Stumbled upon Beardsley and Lineker as well, as the received wisdom has it. Thing is though, and this may be hard to take, I am guessing he knew what made an effective team; knew better than you or the parade of parasitic press plebs who trotted out shamefully critical s****. Like I said I think your view is harsh. That judgement remains regardless of how confident you are about it.

Given that we'd lost to Portugal and drew with Morocco before these 2 events deprived him of Robson and Ray Wilkins and then with this new team demolish Poland and Paraguay before Maradona turned up, then it's kind of impossible not to question the manager . But as I say, it's not just about 86. It's about the failure to qualify for the Euros in 84 and the pathetic showing in Germany 88 too. The press had every right to be critical of him. Just not in the hyperbolic way the press do things.
As much as I didn't rate him as an England manager incidentally, I didn't want him to leave given we all knew who the successor was to be and the predictably s**** way the team went after him

Watched several stuff on the History Channel last few nights - superb - especially "One Night In Turin" - brilliant that - media were utter w*****s with Sir Bobby!
-
One night in Turin, for about the 5th time. Just to get me in the spirit.
And I always say this, sure I've said it on here, watch Lothar Mathaus after Waddles miss.

Aye I noticed that on my third watch the other night he totally ignores his celebrating team mates to console him, total class.
-
I thought he was meant to be a bellend, but when you see that footage...?
Plus there's the stories from I think Butcher and Pearce of the Germans conduct during the drug testing. To be fair they've had plenty of practice, but they know how to win.

Mathias comes across very well mind on the quite frankly daft head to head thing on history channel catchup footy thing on Sky.

Davies' finest piece of commentary for me has to be the Olympic men's hockey final of 1988. When GB scored Davies famously commented, " where were the German defence but frankly, who cares ?"
Terrific commentator and wordsmith. Far superior to Motson and unfairly treated because of him too.
-
Turned it on and Sue Borker was on screen. Straight off it goes.

Euro 96 thing on ITV + 1 coming up as it’s obviously already been on.
-
Watching it and no surprise it starts with how the press behaved. It’s our own tournament and they couldn’t wait to hammer the players and team, going as far to tell Gazza to take his boots and go home. The 1-1 draw and performance with Switzerland was scathing too. I remember leading up to it the media were after Shearer who of course ended as top scorer. f***ing scum.
-
Channel 4 now “ the football club: artist in residence” a behind the scenes. Look at wba. Will probably have Pardew at some point
-
Pulis after getting sacked and Pardew taking over:
"The king is dead, long live the king" :lol:
Gonna assume that was a little dig at the king and not just a passing comment :snod:
-
Had no idea about this series - appears to be episode 2 of 3... is it all at WBA?

Look how happy everyone was when Pardew got sacked :lol:

Cracking show that, Tai-Shan Schierenberg celebrating after the Spurs win was a great TV moment

Rang the production team up and still no release date for the SAFC documentary but it’s definitely going out. Kind of highlights how bad our club is and how little joy I getting from supporting it when it makes me resort to this for some entertainment :lol:

Keep thinking it's a shame there's been no production company take on Leeds and Bielsa.. Now that could have been quite something [emoji38]

This Man City doc is actually class. Very informative. Definitely a must watch.
Give that every season on the NFL version of the show you get a peak inside a new team, I'm hope it'll be the same for this.

Our season will probably just be b/w photographs to save on film. An entire season of Max Payne cutscenes. Tim Sherwood talking s**** from Rafa's office.

On the City bandwagon. Brilliant watch, jelous how well its run behind the scenes not just the talent but the set up behind them.
-
Should do a doc on their murdering owners next
-
There needs to be more stuff like this tbh, shows the human faces behind football. When you think about it other than on the pitch and the tedious post match interviews you actually don't see much of the players and their personalities. Sports journalism as a general rule is so poor and rumour based it's nice to see behind the scenes.
The hyperbole around football is generated by that vacuum with words like mercenary, traitor, hero etc. A more balanced and nuanced style of journalism needs to come to the fore.
-
Such a slick operation from top to bottom - reeks of professionalism, albeit because they have the money to do so.
-
Just finished the Man City series. Very slick, as you say, but found it a bit dull tbh. Kompany comes across particularly well - seems like a really likeable and articulate bloke. Similarly, De Bruyne seemed like a great pro - quiet but a leader on and off the pitch.
Walker and Delph came across as absolute f***ing bellends.
-
Delph seemed thick as mince, came across as a PFM graduate.
-
that Brandon lad was funny - like a Man City Pilkington - players loved him - been there for a few years too - good to see.

Aye. Seemed a decent chap.

Watched the first episode, cleverly narrated and presented and kind of interesting from a football nerd perspective if you like, but nothing revealing and almost exclusively scripted to sell the Man City brand and narrative under their owners to a wider audience. What it does serve is that since we were both taken over, we have went from being a club Man City couldn’t compete with to a club we may as well be in a different sport to as there is no comparison. I wouldn’t be watching that if it were us being documented with ease or a feeling of satisfaction mind. There is a kind of fakeness about Man City IMO, basically the Las Vegas of football. Would I swap places with them? Idealistically no, but if you can’t beat them join them and I know enough about the history of our game to accept that football today isn’t so different to football of yester year in many ways.
Fans lost their clubs to rich and powerful owners or business well before Englamd were even winning the WC in ‘66 on TV to a world wide audience...
Today though it’s deviated so much from its roots and is far too commercialised and relies on wealthy people, business’ and TV companies to the point where TV companies could replace real fans with CGi and sound effects if they wanted to so irrelevant are fans nowadays in the grand scheme of things when it comes to them being the benefactor of their clubs.

Enjoyed Mendy always having a laugh,his personality must be great to have in a team. Some player too!
Also liked Bernardo silva and don't mind Walker tbh. Would definitely get f***ed off with Delph though,he thinks he's far better than he actually is.
Also expected Pep to be a lot more tactical,I know they cut a lot of his tactics out as to not give anything away but a lot of what he said tactics wise was quite obvious,it seems he really struggles tactically against teams that attack too. A lot of the defeats were against teams that decided to have a right go at attacking them.
-
just watched the last episode of All or Nothing.
it had me thinking do we at NUFC have these sort of backroom staff ? :lol: its on a level very few can comprehend, the training centre is incredible, its an insight into a machine, a money machine. I enjoyed it but f*** me that club is on a different planet in England in every way.
i want to hate City fans but i know they stuck with them in the s*** years, would i like this at NUFC , hell yes.
-
I wonder if we have a cryochamber?
-
The Delph bit after the Man Utd match was class, talking about everybody needing to run more and go back to basics. Guardiola basically him to shut up as he's talking bollocks. [emoji38]
-
I wonder if we have a cryochamber?
we dont even travel by first class train man, ive been in the changing rooms and its light years behind Man City, i bet many are tbf, we are tramps in comparison :lol:
-
The whole infrastructure there is geared for success - everyone pulling in the same direction. The levels of investment it’s taken to get them there so quickly is something we could only dream of. The number of backroom staff they had alone must be double the number at NUFC.
-

He's an annoying little prick, like. Imagine being a genuinely world-class footballer and he's talking to you like that?
Also loved his motivational warcry before Wigan. "f***ing AGRESSIVE BOYS!" Red card. :lol:
-
Thought he was being a bit of a dick to the physio too
-
Binge watched the Man City thing... it’s obvious I know, but f***ing hell, compared to NUFC it’s a different sport and I’d now consider them a super club along with only a hand full of other clubs in the world who are pretty much untouchable.
What surprised me is their whole team from the players to the backroom team and even Pep all seem really likeable even the M.D.
And you have to love Vincent Kompany, that scene when he was talking to kids about Mandela and one asked what his crime was and Kompany said because he is black...
Pep is too intense for me though, I don’t think his methods would work at a club over say a span of 6 or more years as everyone would burn out and probably start on each other.
Delph came across as someone who looks way out of his depth in terms of being a footballer at that club and him shouting and balling and telling people to run and fight is probably his way of trying to fit in based on how he has been schooled in football. He come across as a bit of a dick, but I don’t think he is.
Him saying they lost against Man Utd I think because players didn’t run hard enough or get stuck in sums up British football, it’s not his fault though, that’s how he would have been instructed or coached as a kid.
Pep isn’t this all out attack attack coach, he is more tactical than I thought he would be and although he wants his team to play great football, winning is more important.
Loved the scenes with Silva with his boy, Sergio with his and Mendy seems a great character.
I hate everything about how the likes of City and Chelsea have went about becoming these elite clubs, but if you watch this documentary you can’t help but like that team. Chelsea I’ve always hated and there is nothing likeable about them or has been.
Pep though, I prefer watching Liverpool over City and other teams’ style of play, but what an individual, someone I’d love at the Toon one day. No chance though!

I don't know about anyone else who's watched it, but I couldn't understand a f***ing word Guardiola was saying during his animated team talks. :lol: The more excited he got, the faster and worse his English got, to the point it was just gibberish.
Moving those magnets around the tactics board like a frenzied kid playing air hockey n'all.

Sounds good this I think I'll tape it and watch at my leisure
-
Never thought I'd say this but I quite like Merson.
Always thought he was just a thick c*** but turns out he's got a lot of demons and fair play to him for opening up about it.
-
Anyone else think the game looked rigged? Mark Wright basically gave the Germans a penalty and their second goal by passing the ball directly to a German player when under no pressure. Then England stormed back to win it by just walking through the German defence. I know they're all old now but it looked scripted to fit the show to me.
-
It seemed Rob Lee hardly said a word across the two episodes. Can't remember him having an interview with the camera either?
Was good though. Would have loved for gazza and shearer to have featured. Some of mersons passing was pure class.

Spent most of last season hoping there would be a show on Leeds and Bielsa rather than Sunderland.
So turns out they were doing it all along, just dropped on Amazon. The production team must have been licking their chops during the whole spygate and that Villa game :lol:
