There used to be a programme that did tbis in the 1980s and you would hope your favourite moment would come up - but it rarely did.


So now with youtube we can see again pretty much any sporting moment. What is yours? Post it here.


I'll start:

Archie Gemmell's 1978 world cup goal against Holland

Short Version



Match Highlights...(Souness, Dalglish, etc)

1978 Scotland Holland brief highlights

i hope that you don't think that i'm picking on you (having had some differences of opinion elsewhere) but i don't think that was the olympic final. i think that this was - 9.79:

Yes Jah - Great boxer, great entertainer and a better poet than Cantona.


I always remember the line from Harry Carpenter: "I can't believe it, he's won the title back at 33!"


Who did he lose the title to 3 times? Frazier was one I think?

I was at the fight, well live at the cinema. It was Harry Carpenter and Ali was 32. He was stripped of the title for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War in 1967 when he was in his prime and untouchable. He never lost the title to Frazier. He beat him twice and lost in the first fight which was to try and regain his title after his ban. Lost his title to Leon Spinks and Ken Norton after susbseqeuntly having his jaw broken in the first round but beat them both to regain his titles.

I've obviously only seen it all by replays, but have watched a lot of Ali, and Frazier, and personally I prefer Frazier. Not saying he was better than Ali, but I found him more exciting to be honest.


Ali also showed the flaw in his character by the way he spoke about Frazier, calling him the white mans hope and all that bollix, especially considering that Frazier helped Ali get his license back!


The 3rd fight was a draw in my eyes, in that Ali has stated that he'd asked for his gloves to be cut off after the 14th, which would have made Frazier winner (Frazier was begging his trainer to let him fight on, but it was stopped because he was basically blind).


Ali was funnier though.


Don't want to dis the great sportsman that Ali was, but as a man, he acted like a bit of a cock at times.

It was all part of the hype to sell tickets and put fear in his opponents. I thought he did it in a very entertaining way but when other people do it these days they do look a bit of a cock.


NB: Frasier wouldn't have been able to lay a glove on him in '67. He was too fast. Three and a half years out of the ring is a very long time in boxing. Also, I thought Ali won the first fight in '71. He was robbed of that one.

Obviously stevenage coming from 2-0 down at half time to win 3-2 in the 89th at the first ever competitive final at the new wembley, the morning after huguenot's stag do and the morning my wife agreed to marry me was a sporting moment for myself, doubt it's on youtube though.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
