Scudamore Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 (edited) Depressed me a little to be quite honest...football is pretty sh:t now... Someone like David Moyes should be capable of winning the league with a team like Everton...but big money makes it impossible even for a team of that size to do the necessary...how is that a good state of affairs? Was a good programme though... Edited 26 March, 2009 by Scudamore Two and a half hours and not one pedant to correct David Moyles...you lot disappoint me sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 I caught the end of it and wish I'd Sky+plussed it. Anyone know if it's due a repeat? Proper proper football fans man imho. His nipper has one hell of an act to follow, but I see quite a lot of the gtreat man's body language in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpb Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 Although it was very entertaining, they portrayed him as being a brilliant manager (which he was) and then in the last ten minutes hinted at a darker side - I wish they had explored that some more...

Hatch Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 Wonder how he would get on in todays Football world. I expect he would struggle with the players having to much power due to wages and celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, the documentary was going to be about sons living in the shadow of brilliant fathers, using the Cloughs as the chief example. Then it got rushed to completion as a standard biography, to ride the wave of current interest. At least that's what Mark Lawson said on Front Row. That would explain a slight lack of thoroughness.

St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 Watched it last night on ITV and thought it was great. Seeing the credits for the Big Match took me back to the 'good old days' Presumably you haven't seen any of The Big Match series repeats on ITV4, that are currently transmitted on Thursdays at 11.30am and 4.00pm [in about 10 minutes or so, as I type] and Fridays at 12.30pm. There was a bit of noise last week, as the 1979 League Cup Final was being shown. It makes me wonder whether certain posters actually bother to read anything on these forums.

Jesus Reigned Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 It was Cloughie gold at the signing of Trevor Francis when he turned up with a squash racquet and said he'd smack him over the head with it if Francis ballsed it up, or something similar. A true character and sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 That's a bit uncalled for. There is an undoubted tendancy amongst certain posters to write first before reading.

Hmmm how dare people not watch TV when and where you prescribe....please sir can you tell me what I need to watch for next week? I always thought I was one of the more of the moderate posters but frankly it seems like I'm subscribing to a site I didn't intend to at the moment.

St Landrew Posted 26 March, 2009 Share Posted 26 March, 2009 As it happens, I missed the Clough documentary. I thought it would be on ITV's version of iPlayer, but no sign. Good ol' ITV. It's Coro and Co, and bugger all else. Low quality TV as always. NB: That's a hint for anyone to provide a link for me to the documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
