tom_widdows Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) ITV once again doing their best to ruin football highlights. Last season Quest's coverage of the EFL was 90mins, and just got on with it (even then it was sometimes too long) ITV decide it needs 2hrs and to have 'features' Wonder if this format will change when Match of the Day starts again next week?

Going to watch the 9:25am rerun in the morning. I was disappointed when I read Quest had lost highlights as thought their coverage was decent. Quote

No idea what happened at the end, but losing control of games is a madden trait, so I'm guessing that's what happened. Quote
wokinginashearerwonderland Posted August 1, 2022 Report Posted August 1, 2022 Womens Euro 2022 - just wondered, did anyone watch much of this? It is being built up exponentially as some remarkable achievement as you may expect with England having won it and just wanted to gauge other peoples thoughts. To me, it's a bit like some random league games being on tele like something from the MLS, Australia or the dutch league in that I had no real desire to watch it in the current world of saturation tv fitba. But then I see there is a massive party in Trafalgar Square and I wonder if I am in the minority in my thinking, but if Scotland would have won it, would we be all that bothered?? Don't get me wrong, whenever a Scottish athlete/team get to a final of a sport, it does make me want to see how they get on but is the women's game not still a bit of a minority sport? I mean were the tickets for the final like gold dust as they would have been for the men's England v Italy final last year or did they give a load of tickets away to guarantee a full house? A lot of talk being banded about that women's football will never be the same but my own opinion would be that I would still not really make a point of watching a women's game. Quote

I can only really comment from what I see here in NZ and the game is definitely growing. Wellington Phoenix are going to make sure that as many of their men and womens games are back to back, with the womens being the curtain raiser. Obviously this is also helped by the fact that the next WC will be here so it’s getting a lot of press. I think I’ll try and make it along to at least one or two games. Is the quality the same as the mens? No, but I’m definitely willing to give it a go. Quote
Jute Posted August 4, 2022 Report Posted August 4, 2022 United 1-0 up on AZ Alkmar. Cracking goal by Glen Middleton. Quote
The D.O.C.1903 Posted August 4, 2022 Report Posted August 4, 2022 It'll be a stretch for us to finish even 4th this season ! Utd look better than us! Quote
Jute Posted August 4, 2022 Report Posted August 4, 2022 Finished 1-0 to Arabs with them hanging on a bit at the end but great result to take away. Quote

Early days lad and 1st week in August perhaps too early to judge, however do agree that they had something about them last night and appear to have recruited fairy well. Always think the time to start making judgement on potential finishing league positions is after the first round of league fixtures 1 Quote

Csnt help thinking of another time a scottish team took a 1-0 lead to the Netherlands and got their asses handed to them. 4th place will be a struggle but i wouldnt bank on the arabs being the problem 1 Quote
Jute Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 AZ 1-0 up on Arabs. Nice move that cut open Arabs back line. Quote
Jute Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 2-0 now. United have not played badly so far but 2nd seems to have knocked stuffing out of them. Quote
BigAl Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 Make it four 50 minutes to go Jack Dross sacked in the morning Quote
Jute Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 4-0. Arabs just collapsed. This could get ugly. Quote
Jute Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 Okay not could get ugly it has got ugly. Quote

Absolute nonsense. No way utd are keeping it below six. I turned on after the first and was thinking they looked fairly decent. That keeper. Jesus. Quote
wokinginashearerwonderland Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 Disappointing that. AZ finished 5th in Holland last year, 22 points off Ajax so it’s not like United were up against some European heavyweight. Sad reflection of where our fitba in this country is at especially after the Motherwell shit show in Europe. Quote

Elgindon Posted August 11, 2022 Report Posted August 11, 2022 First Scottish club to concede 5 goals in the first half of European tie. Got to be worth a trophy.... Quote
