BBC1: Grandstand and Final Score (1992-03-21) 

T Donovan I also loved that

Same here. I was at the Liverpool match. :)

i agree

ME too

Used to flick off to itv for Baywatch and Gladiators after this mate

@@richardevans7035 amazing! Proper tele. Big Break, You Bet, Blind Date, Generation Game, Noel's House Party, The Crystal Maze, Challenge Anneka, Surprise Surprise, Beadle's About, Russ Abbot, Casualty, and then Match of the Day! 4 channels and I think we did quite well.

@@vxrdrummer spot on mate and the world seemed a nicer place too mate, no Instagram, facebook etc

Awe! Stop it… I’m well misty eyed… thinking about all those great shows… Yes television was remarkable then.. we didn’t realise how spoilt we weee… All we got it reality shows now filled with second rate fools & cookery programs…. Such happier times back then…

@richardevans7035 hell yeah. I hate social media and influencers and stuff. It's all obnoxious garbage. I'd happily go back in time to the 90s. The only thing I'd hate is the dog poo everywhere before they brought in the rules for picking it up. I don't miss regularly treading in massive steaming dog turds.

Now it’s an American wrestling-esque soap opera. Gave up on football years ago.

Totally agree with you… The Premiership & over commercialisation etc ruined the entire game… I gave up on following it since the end of the 80’s…. Probably just nostalgia kicking in but it all seemed so much better then somehow…

Is goosis like sepsis?

Im 54 now, how time flies eh

+Monsieur Eeeby: Steve had already confirmed the final score at 15:13 and had also given a latest score a cpl of minutes before that, so far from ignoring it.

Luton ain’t doing bad now ✅✅

Lineker saved them really

And Sheffield Wednesday in 3rd place. Yorkshire leading the way!

By British I assume you mean English? But you're right, back in the day of the 5 nations (and before fixtures were split) both games would be played at the same time and the BBC would show one live and then the highlights of the other, and I'm pretty sure what game you saw would be dependent on what part of the UK you lived in. Living in England (youngster as I was back then) my recollection was that the biggest game would be shown live and then the highlights of the other shown after. I guess if England were playing, say France, and it mattered (ie first or second game in the championship, or a decider) than it would be shown in England and the Welsh and Scots would get their games..I'm assuming the same policy would have applied there, ie BBC Wales and Scotland would have given preference to their games but if the decider was elsewhere would have shown that instead. I can certainly remember watching deciding games on the BBC between the other nations (my family's Irish btw, so watched a few of those!) when England were out of it, so I would say that there would have been a regional element to it, but when it came to the crunch games, so to speak, we would all have been watching the same game.

Half time back then was about 5-10 minutes!

Yes we won promotion as champions of division 2

What a shame Cambridge didn't make it ! I didn't realise that they had got so close so relatively recently.

Makes me feel old - I remember the teleprinter, with the printer head clattering across the bottom of the screen to type the results on a scrolling length of paper!

Yes. The two clubs briefly merged in 1992, but both clubs refused to have any part of their name removed from the new name.

Hahaha yeah

I notice that there were only 23 teams in the Fourth Divison on this day. Had another team already gone bust that season?

​​@@bigredsock1 At the time the plan was to have a First Division of 22 clubs and three divisions of 24. I believe the year before Division 4 had been expanded to 23 from 22. The plan was abandoned after Aldershot and Maidstone folded. The additional 2 clubs in what is now League 2 came from the knock on of reducing the Premier League.

No, Senna died 2 years later in 1994.

And Notts co in the old first division!

Scary I actually remember watching this live and being gutted when that result came in....won a more important game against them in the Scottish cup semi final 10 days later ;)
