Re: highlights

You should try playing in defence you whole Rovers career - the only time you make it onto the highlights is when you mess up leading to a goal or a chance...

That said, I think Lol should try to produce a comedy moments DVD, with all the nutmegs, tricks and flicks that we've done over the past few seasons, as well as anything else amusing. I'd certainly pay £10 for that, and I'm sure a few of the others would too.

I have been intending to do that for years, but just don't have the time.
It involves scrolling through a massive amount of footage trying to find things like that, but I can't afford to do that instead of paid filming, editing & production work...unless I am going to sell at least 50 copies @ £10.00 each.

I don't think I got George's nutmeg anyway because of the usual problem of players standing right in line with the camera while hardly moving. I heard him say at the end of the game (or was it at Half-Time ?) 'I hope you got that on camera', but I didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

Terry was also complaining about defenders getting a raw deal on the highlights, but in fact it should be better for them nowadays as the highlights are all 20-25 minutes' worth, which means I include more build-up play from the back. Quite often that includes a good tackle first to start off the move. Terry wouldn't know that as he says he 'never' watches the highlights.
Up until a couple of years ago, the highlights were only 10 minutes because of a You Tube limit on uploads. That was when defenders got far more of a raw deal.
It's the same for professional footballers on Match Of The Day though.

...and by the way, see which two players were involved at the start of this quality goal !
