summerof69 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 The BBC3 show was class 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 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 That's what I would have thought. The program was actually pretty decent. Some shite 'pundits' but also some interesting ones (Shilton, Seaman, O'Leary etc). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2010/06/02/alan-shearer-to-play-match-for-soccer-aid-72703-26570547/ 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.

Dinho lad Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 So apparently David O'Leary scoring from 12 yards out is more shocking than Andreas Escobar getting murderd! (Wasn't even on the list! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 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?

Keefaz Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 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."

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.
