Bedfordshire Bronco Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/soccer-am-cancelled-sky-sports-b2305791.html 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Poster Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

hindle xiii Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
