    Watching Aston Villa v Liverpool tonight,  the fans of both teams seem so passionate.  They holler and cry with jubilation as the goals go in, in a very Important match. It seems so important to them and they're having a great time, or are they? 

    Are you saying the poor dolts have been tricked by hype? IF you could talk to them would you say, " look at the stuff on the pitch it's rubbish, wake up idiots, you shouldn't be enjoying it because it's phoney?"

    No, that's a bit extreme but yeah, take the hype/people away and we're stood with two men and a dog.

    Partly, football games aren't very interesting in my opinion (look at spurs/man utd). But because of the advertising of the sport, the international game, the marketing, the premier league, and the money, people want to be involved in the sport. In my opinion,  rugby league is a better game on the pitch, but we don't have the other aspects to make it more in the people's eyes. 

    OK, here's a thing. About 3/4 ish years ago Italy(I think) beat England in some soccer final widely shown on TV which my neighbour showed it at his place to many people. 

    Can't imagine another sport where this might be replicated. 

    After the match I suggested that if the very same match was to be magically reanacted on a local pitch the next day then no one would be bothered. Non of us present then would be present the following Sunday. 

    OK, no one actually argued the toss but I was clearly a ###### for even saying such a thing. 

    Hype over content doesn't even touch the sides. I see many correspondences in the above posts. Interesting.

    Just  looking back to last year and the press release talking about the clampdown at the ptb and there must be a genuine attempt to play it with the foot. 
    in one and a bit games it’s depressing to see that’s already been forgotten 

    Unless the ball is clearly played with the foot in which case it is obviously a penalty. Obviously...........   but I don't know why....

    Do they often start slow as players are still missing some competive match sharpness?

    In my day.... say late 80's into the 90's it seemed to be 3,4 or 5 weeks before things got properly warmed up and reached running temperature. 

    Then sometime this century things were pretty much hot from the start.

    This match would be pretty much unthinkable at any time of the season when I was a pup, nevermind first match.

  5. Thing is Cas had a couple of chances where it looked easier to score than not. That they didn't was great work from Bradford and it swung the game in their favour.

    And Well Done Bradford No.10, stayed involved and forced the last try out wide for the conversion.

    Another yard or two and .....?

    Could be.

    I think the BBC are showing it in 3 different places though - red button, iPlayer and sport website. I don't know if you've added all three together?

    I spent some time searching on RedButton but found nowt, just a football match. Anyone else found it on RB?

    I have to say the BBC have done well to hide the London/Goole match. I found nowt on teletext, iplayer, red button or the RL site. Not true though, if you click on the actual game link then there are details but how would you know which game to investigate if you didn't know which game is being televised? Once more, RL on TV saves the day. Again.
