Annoying....my kids have just started enjoying watching it this season as a nice thing after their own football fixtures when we get back (and the first time I have ever really watched it in 30 years!) 

Says it in is being replaced by Soccer social which was it's predecessor 30 years ago....

Hope it stil has a sense of fun that my kids have enjoyed

I've grown fond of it this last year....always have an indie band on which I like (which I find weird as no one seems to like indie these days) ....

The Geoff bot is silly and funny (for my kids particulalry) , we then choose our favourite goals from the top 30 of the week then we fast forward to the ProAm bit ...

Really am a bit annoyed it's going....hope they replace it with something good

I think it had a peak period of being almost essential irreverent football humour with the odd good guest thrown in.

But now to me it seems very formulaic in comparison and a lot of the gags we’ve heard all before.

Most people I speak to agree.

Mind you I’ve tried and not enjoyed Saturday Social (self proclaimed new media gonks whose humour I don’t get  and football knowledge I don’t care for).

Hope they can come up with something else…

Back in the early 2000's.....2008 there seemed to be a fair few RL players of the time on it. Sam Burgess and Stuart Fielden? Others I think

I've not watched it for a long time but when it started, and for many a year, it was a good watch. Like many things as presenters changed it went downhill.

Tommy Makinson was on it last year I think....hit the crossbar first time in practice but missed live!

I knew the wokeocracy would get them in the end.

Peaked when the Man City fans couldn’t fill the 8 plastic seats in the fan area!

Seems like a show out of time, made for social media before social media, and then didn't adapt very well in the social media age.

Soccer Social, if its the one on now, is worse...

The last one standing from when programmers knew there was an audience of hungover people just wanting something bright, cheerful and occasionally smart to get them through until the fry-up would go down nicely.

Genuinely funny back in the day

Soccer Am is being cancelled! For Soccer Social!

 

It's another reminder to us all that change is not good.

Back in spring 2007 my brother and I went to watch an episode being filmed. It was a good day. The All Sports Show on the Friday evening was good too. We then walked to the Twickenham Stoop to watch London v Bradford.

I still follow new indie bands myself in my 40s....think it's more popular up north still than down here
