Saints Mad Si Posted 10 June, 2009 Posted 10 June, 2009 So dvd update anyone? Surely it must be in someones possesion by now? Just thinking that the other day. Any news????
dubai_phil Posted 10 June, 2009 Posted 10 June, 2009 Just thinking that the other day. Any news???? Could be something like Vegas Today at 6pm on ITV allegedly ran with this story ...... In Other news, Vegas Law Enforcement Officers are apparently seeking an elusive mystery punter who has allegedly been spotted in the MGM Grand and other gaming halls running up to big winners asking them to lend him their new found winnings to invest in some Sports Property related business in an unknown British Town called St Mary's. This alleged hustler is not known to possess any investment licences, and yet has been spotted outside the Stratospere imploring vistors to take him to the Top, or as he says, The Pinnacle. It is believed he may have sold his possessions and airplane ticket in order to pay off gambling debts, he is notable by what appears to be a vest of Red and White colours under a hoodie. He is described as being around 5 feet 8 and a bit, has possibly dyed blonde hair and seems to speak with a Britisher accent. he is not thought to be dangerous, just Lost. Anyone seeing this man should contact the nearest Virgin Atlantic office where his parents have wired him a return ticket Or something like that
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 10 June, 2009 Posted 10 June, 2009 He is described as being around 5 feet 8 and a bit, has possibly dyed blonde hair and seems to speak with a Britisher accent. he is not thought to be dangerous, just Lost. Anyone seeing this man should contact the nearest Virgin Atlantic office where his parents have wired him a return ticket Or something like that He certainly went missing a few times on the night for your team!!
OldNick Posted 11 June, 2009 Posted 11 June, 2009 Just thinking that the other day. Any news???? The DVD is taking longer than the takeovers. I assume they are editing all the mistakes, it will end up being a 30 second clip lol
stevegrant Posted 11 June, 2009 Author Posted 11 June, 2009 I'm hoping to have the master copy of the DVD some time next week, so should be sent to everyone the week after that.
OldNick Posted 11 June, 2009 Posted 11 June, 2009 I'm hoping to have the master copy of the DVD some time next week, so should be sent to everyone the week after that.Brilliant news Granty.
Nexstar Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 To get away from the bad news, any idea when i'll be able to watch the reds snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on my 32" TV?
Edmonton Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 To get away from the bad news, any idea when i'll be able to watch the reds snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on my 32" TV? Yes still eagerly awaiting this too. The fortnight is up..
stevegrant Posted 27 June, 2009 Author Posted 27 June, 2009 Right, have finally collected the master copy, should be posted to everyone at the end of this week with a bit of luck. Sorry for the delay...
Scudamore Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Lucky we're more patient than people are regards this takeover... Otherwise Steve would have people finding out his address online and looking through his curtains whilst he sleeps...
Bushey Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Lucky we're more patient than people are regards this takeover... Otherwise Steve would have people finding out his address online and looking through his curtains whilst he sleeps... Disturbingly close to the truth ...
Edmonton Saint Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Right, have finally collected the master copy, should be posted to everyone at the end of this week with a bit of luck. Sorry for the delay... Cheers for the update Steve.. You should put some match highlights on youtube.
Nexstar Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Cheers for the update Steve.. You should put some match highlights on youtube. Not a bad plan, so other people on the forum can see them
OldNick Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Not a bad plan, so other people on the forum can see them I think to save your blushes I would have thought a big charity donation should be made to stop him doing so.
OldNick Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 Right, have finally collected the master copy, should be posted to everyone at the end of this week with a bit of luck. Sorry for the delay...you dont write Pinnacles statements do you Steve?
Nexstar Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 I think to save your blushes I would have thought a big charity donation should be made to stop him doing so. Admittedly I did miss two 1 on 1 chances (i don't count the third as it led to the equliaser, remember, when you were 3-2 up?), but i really didn't like the balls. I know a bad workman always blames his tools, but seriously i really couldn't get any height on them and fail to see how the club rates them at £85 each! Alas, if there is to be a game next year you can guarentee i'll be buying one of the balls at the first opportunity. Back to the important point, i'm fairly sure your team conceeded 2 goals in the last 2 minutes, something which if I was on the away team would put down to poor tactical mismanagement in the dying minutes!

I would nt worry about getting any height on the ball Drgbaj and foxy had no problems kicking in Lol We have gone over why we were robbed.
Nexstar Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 BTW where were the cameras that filmed it? I remember seeing a couple go round the changing rooms but couldn't recall where they/it were positioned to watcht he match?
The9 Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 The cameras for match recording were at the back of the Kingsland like for any tv recording, IIRC. As for blaming the balls, they were perfect. The problem anyone under 25 has nowadays is they expect to play with something cheap and plasticky that costs £10. I was appalled the one time I took a mid-priced £40 match ball to Fleming Park and the numpties preferred to use some blue balloon! Proper footballs aren't like that.

Which, TBF is like what they used at the 2006 world cup (i've got a replica match ball) and I can really get behind that.

hamster Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 ... your team conceeded 2 goals in the last 2 minutes......... You must have been having a wee when Big Phil Dubya instructed us to give them the head start Nex. HTH We have gone over why we were robbed. WRONG Knickerless. See above. We nearly robbed ourselves actualy Nick, as (to be fair) we underestimated your lot. They weren't actually as bad as we thought they would be. It won't happen next year though as I expect we will only let you get two goals before we start playing. You appear to have clear recollections of the tactical genius of The Gaffer in the closing minutes, but conveniently missed him shouting at me to feign injury so that you could get into our half after 25 minutes. DVD in post - the truth will out. BTW How are ya?
OldNick Posted 27 June, 2009 Posted 27 June, 2009 We nearly robbed ourselves actualy Nick, as (to be fair) we underestimated your lot. They weren't actually as bad as we thought they would be. QUOTE] Funnily enough your team were. Why do you think Granty has held on to the mastertape so long? Nixon was quicker at letting the v evidence out of his grip. Phil and him and the FL will have been editing and reediting it. You watch, it will show the kick off and then the last 2 minutes and a final score of 2-0. No doubt they will airbrush it to show Fos1 with a full head of hair, you with brown hair and me and OOhTerry looking as though we are carrying a little ballast.There will be a twenty minute after match interview with Phil telling them all about Bullfrogs and Tiger Woods and then a clip of me walkinmg away throwing the headphones off after the interviewers tough questions.
The9 Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 FACT, bring back the plastic! Which, TBF is like what they used at the 2006 world cup (i've got a replica match ball) and I can really get behind that. As someone who forked out for some £70 FA Match-standard Mitre balls last season - and previously did the same for the £40 adidas Questra 1994 World Cup ball and its 1998 equivalent, I can confirm that the adidas balls are a fair bit lighter than the mitre ones - and also an absolute pain in the ar5e to use on anything other than a perfect pitch. Give me a decent Mitre ball any day. I've only used replica Nike balls so can't really comment on the Prem ball (of which there is another new style this season) though.
Wade Garrett Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 Shame I'm not playing. I was extremely gifted.
OldNick Posted 29 June, 2009 Posted 29 June, 2009 Shame I'm not playing. I was extremely gifted. So were my team, but thats enough about the 1970's
stevegrant Posted 5 July, 2009 Author Posted 5 July, 2009 Not yet - there was a slight delay as the original master copy I got sent didn't work, so had to wait for a replacement to be sent.
dubai_phil Posted 14 July, 2009 Posted 14 July, 2009 I'm coming back for work & the FP final - sure would be nice to be able to collect my copy while I'm there. It's been so long, I'm dying to see what nickh looked like when he still had hair and when Foxy didn't need a Zimmerframe to get about, but better be quick, the eyesight's fading these days and the airlines need a medical certificate before you fly when you get over 90. How are Nexstar's Grandchildren doing? Did his lad make it into the Academy? have we appointed our new manager yet? etc

dubai_phil Posted 14 July, 2009 Posted 14 July, 2009 Im surprised the way you do things you aint got a boot leg copy already. That's the point - this chinese bloke came round last night. He had a copy, trouble was it was made by some bloke holding a cam corder, Granty really needs to do the washing up... And ah don't worry Nexstar - 16 years experience of the International postal system, I'm getting it sent to a mate in London. Mind you they're moving in August..... arrggh
OldNick Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 That's the point - this chinese bloke came round last night. He had a copy, trouble was it was made by some bloke holding a cam corder, Granty really needs to do the washing up... I just got offered a copy by Knock off Nigel. The first twenty minutes is of Granty comparing his boots to the other players ones in your squad.In the background there is Fos1 knocking back a litre bottle of Philisan and doing stretching excercises. 'One toe,, two toes....that's enough' The rest is lost by the sound of all his bones cracking and creaking. The Scudamore is wandering around trying to sell his programmes, he wipes away a tear as he realises that the profits are soon to be losses. It then does a 1 minute of action of the game and 20minutes of injury time due to Hamsters tackling and DrogBaj's many niggles. It glosses over the underhanded substitution but goes straight to the winning goal , which is missed by the camera man ...and our keeper. After showing the jubilant home dressing room and them celebrating their unbelievable luck you get a flash of Phil coming out of the refs room wiping something from the corner of his mouth..... I assume a smile. We then get a 30 second interview by Phil that a cheshire cat would be proud of, and then a 10 second flash of me with an expression of a cat licking crap off a nettle. Hardly worth waiting for, in fact Im told that next years version will be sent out before this ones. Its a bit like the Star Wars films the last one first and the first one last type of thing.

You see - it all went wrong for you from the moment the cute chick and highly competent organiser (ie the really great organiser who's name I forgot) told us no booze allowed inside the changing rooms. The only place quiet enough to sneak a dozen Jaegerbombs was of course Steve MacLaren's office (sorry ref's room). 4 quid at duty free - bargain. Guess you missed Granty allegedly having the bath in Champagne with the chick as well on the DVD. Shame it's on our copy, delicately edited of course

Shame it's on our copy, delicately edited of course I did see the champers in the changing room you were pouring out. None was offered in consolation to me though!!! I went back to ours and had some warm still lager Foxy had found for me, i tried to offer it to the rest of my team but they wouldnt have any and said I deserved it most due to my efforts. Top lads, i drunk it in one and they found something funny. it must have been as I spilt a drip on my shirt.

dubai_phil Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 I missed that one. like you missed the ok sign from the ref for the substitution, and the non-stop shirt pulling by most of your players... YES - been waiting MONTHS to get those in, He shoots - He scores! Meanwhile, where IS Granty? Must be back from Vegas by now
OldNick Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 like you missed the ok sign from the ref for the substitution, and the non-stop shirt pulling by most of your players... YES - been waiting MONTHS to get those in, He shoots - He scores! Meanwhile, where IS Granty? Must be back from Vegas by nowNo its taken you months to think up an excuse to hide behind the dirty tricks campaign waged on our fine side. As for the sign by the ref to do the substitution it should be done during a break in play not during it.The ref was Mr Dim and thought you were asking for him to come back on after an injury, not a sub. He shoots he scores..that cant be aimed at your forwards.Your lot played more air shots than my wife on a driving range.
Redondo Saint Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 come on chaps - where is the YouTube highlights???? how about an over 40's game next year?
dubai_phil Posted 15 July, 2009 Posted 15 July, 2009 Any news on the DvD? Yes, apparently a recording of Sir Trevor doing News At Ten and telling us Maggie just got elected, it's been THAT long.. Ooops sorry forgot, I was banned from a computer tonight by EoA as been to a 70's night birthday party at Rock Bottoms dressed as Jimmy Hendrix with free booze and annoyingly got my photo in the National Press, Timeout and Hello Magazine (local version) under most wanted. How odd - dress up like a **** in a silly wig and become most wanted - damn, should have done that years ago
stevegrant Posted 16 July, 2009 Author Posted 16 July, 2009 It's getting there - sorry, it's essentially out of my hands at the moment. Hopefully should have them sorted early next week.
