mattypnufc Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The vide printer. The football pink. I know they still exist, but shiny's in sticker albums. Shitty portacabin club shop. Not football related exactly, but the smell of malt/hops in Newcastle on a match day/in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Other thing with Teletext/Ceefax was most of the time the goal would come up without a scorer. So you'd have the elation of scoring then have to wait for the page to come around again to see who had scored. By which time we might have conceded.

OzzieMandias Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The Football Pink! I remember being in Thomson House one Saturday afternoon -- the father of a friend worked there -- and being shown the presses as they printed the Pink. Great bales of pink paper rolling through this giant machine and somehow ending up as folded copies of that afternoon's paper. I was fascinated and watched it for ages. Then came out of there and saw an ordinary-coloured newspaper and it just looked ... wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Last time I tried avoiding the score of a match was when England beat Luxembourg 6-0 and Big Al got a hat trick. The match was an afternoon kick off but I had naff all planned that evening so I was going to watch the 7.45 repeat instead of the live coverage, but it got cancelled for darts or some other s****. I was foaming, then even more so when I found the score/scorers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 somewhere under the stairs in me mam and dads house is a copy of the last Pink that me dad bought and wrapped in cling film to 'preserve' it. The sad nowt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Again on Telefax, I'm sure you could get a little box up in the top right hand corner, when you were watching the TV with goal updates and not missing what you were watching. I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another one, I miss the paper season tickets and also sending away applications on the forms with a cheque. It's a lot more simpler now but it just felt exciting back then. I used to write who we played on the leftover stub in the season ticket booklet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Getting up at dawn on a Saturday to watch Transworld Sport on Channel 4 for five minutes worth of highlights from the MLS or the fucking Uruguayan league amongst an hour of bloody cycling and skiing. Every week I'd think "Jesus not much football this week" and every week I'd get up. At least Football Italia was on after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 sacking off learning me 12 times table on a Sunday afternoon for some father-son bonding on the sofa watching Brought a tear to my eye that. Partly because I'm pissed but I used to love Football Italia. It was class watching that with my brother, him being two years older yet knowing ALL the players.

A 15 minute feature piece on a Swiss tobogganist and a 1 second clip of one goal from the Eredivisie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 forgive the scouse badge but the tune is midweek sport on 2. one tradition i'm pleased has gone, in the 70's and possibly earely 80's there was no local radio comentary, they were allowed something like 3 reports per half but could go over if a goal was scored aswell. re those going on about the rumours on teletext, i do basically the same now, the alarm goes off on my phone, i first check the bbc news then the bbc gossip page, then get up.

Fenham Mag Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Might be a bit off topic but did anyone have these videos when they were younger (or did the oldies kids have these): http://i.imgur.com/UMTdx.jpg Watched them religiously. Best Christmas presents ever. I still have about 12 of the videos (plus the huge ring binder of football knowledge) , never managed to get them all though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crayola Kid Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 how about when metro radio used to have one club on fm and the other on medium wave, but would interrupt each broadcast to give an update on the other, something like twice or three times a half?

ElDiablo Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I used to be convinced that if you typed the page number in again on teletext, it would update/swap page quicker than if you just let it do it automatically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I used to do that too. We then got a new TV where you could use the the remote to skip between pages on Teletext - great times. (I was an impatient lad back then).
