LarrysRightFoot Posted January 16 (edited) I liked Fantasy Football League with Baddiel and Skinner when I was younger. Would have liked a Scottish version - A View From the Terrace is decent (2 jambos) but lacks something. Edited January 16 by LarrysRightFoot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey1874 Posted January 16 The context has changed with so much football on tv now. I think shows with good analysis including the stats would be good. Not sure if there was anything. Before my time but shows with Brian Clough. I think he had his own show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

been here before Posted January 16 Arthur Montford era Scotsport. Saint and Greavsie ("no way is he Scottish with a name like Henry Smith"). Anything with Bob Crampsey. Only A Game was a great (4 part I think) documentary. David Francie commentry. Jock Brown and MacPherson are/were atricious. Some of the old 70s/80s games on ITV are great veiwing- The Big Match. Ewan Cameron and Offside though... ...that is brutal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo414 Posted January 16 There used to be a Sunday afternoon highlights show for the Scottish first division which I remember watching as a youngster about 15 years ago. Football league show as well was usually a good antidote to the god awful last few matches on Match of the Day; That 0-0 draw made you want to tan your wrists? Never mind there was some belters in the lower league that we’ll fire at you for a couple of hours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftBack Posted January 16 Football focus with Bob Wilson, followed by Saint and Greavsie was a must watch. I liked real football phonein with guy before Ewan... Bill someone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E6 Inc Posted January 16 Football Italia was years ahead of its time - sitting chatting about the game in a cafe with the local papers would make a great blog style channel show in this day and age. Cracking programme that got me into watching overseas football. Still look out for teams like Parma scores because of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luscious Laryea Posted January 16 Scotsport in the 90s will always be my ultimate nostalgia. He's not universally liked but hearing Gerry McNee's voice over old games brings back fond memories of our team in the 97-98 season back in the good times. Another poster has mentioned Bob Wilson - I'll second that. Miss The Big Match...Live! when he was presenter. Excellent anchor with a relaxed style.

tian447 Posted January 16 Did Channel 5 not used to cover some of the European leagues back in the late 90's and early 00's? Vaguely remember watching highlights very late at night or in the early hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted January 16 Sportsnight. Aired on Wednesday nights in the '70's and covered, in the main, European games (inc Hearts 5 Lokomotiv 1, iirc). Almost always a school night so, as a primary kid at the time, I was usually in bed by 8 or 9. My dad, though, would promise to pop his head round the door just before it started, whisper my name, and if I was still awake let me get back up to watch it after my mum had gone to bed. Man Utd 5 Porto 2 is a game that sticks out but Porto had won the 1st leg 3 or 4-nil so wasn't quite enough for Man U. Around the same time as Hearts' aforementioned heroics.
