Watching it old style

[ThurmastonFox]

So I was out all day today and managed to avoid finding out any score until the football league show. Wow what a wait and what a result!!! Didn't look pretty but we got the result!

[Deucalion]

That's will power.

 

That game was pretty intense today, even on the radio.

How you managed that is a feat in itself. You must live in one deep cave, one without mobile signal!

First half after their early goal we ripped them a new arsehole, second half they stepped up for about 20 or so but we weathered the storm and got the all important winner. Fantastic!

[Danizen]

I envy you, mate. If I had one of those memory wipe things from Men In Black, I'd definitely forget the game and watch it again.

Might be a bit pissed .... Rambling

I have to say I think if i could do that i would live longer... the stress was unbearable especially on the radio just after the final goal when they said bolton had scored only to relies they hadn't

I was in Melton. Let the gf read my texts before I did to make sure no football was mentioned. No Internet and listened to capital fm to make sure there was no relevant news or sport. The day was torture

I was expecting you to say that you were stuck in front of ceefax all afternoon.

[Goddard]

Letting the missus read your texts. Mental

Haha still remember "watching" Leicester like that when i lived in London i think it was the O'neil promotion season thinking we had failed to win a game and then it updating about 20 minutes after full time with an injury time winner.

Oh don't worry I checked who they were from

Yeah. That's a good point, who was the arsehole that said Bolton were winning... it almost broke my heart, in all the madness I had forgotten about this blip.

Remember trying this for the Newcastle game years back, my dad let slip we were 3-1 up (he heard it in the car) so allowed myself to watch the ceefax snapshot updates (the one where it flashed up the latest goals at the bottom of the screen) then slowly saw 3-2 shearer, 3-3 shearer and finally 4-3...you get the drift

As a superstitious fan I instantly blamed myself for the loss and haven't tried to hold out on the result since!

I think there were some ironic cheers in the background which led Stringer to ask if there had been another goal at the Reebok. The bloke said it was still 2-2 and then they realised it was coming from our fans who were laughing at the Forest fans kicking off and getting arrested that's how I remember it anyway.

 

I must say I don't remember anything about a disallowed goal.

Heart in mouth moment.
