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.

      Fireworks

      By kbabes · Posted

      I heard them & our two dogs were extremely upset by it..  bad enough during the evenings but at least can have music on to dilute the noise!   Some people have literally zero thoughts for others!!

      I have signed that petition.  Someone was letting off loud fireworks at about 3 am this morning. They woke me up.   I don’t know where they were exactly but it sounded like they were in the vicinity of Dog Kennel Hill.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.
