I’ve been watching so much historic footage, I’d like a discussion point.

Not sure if you listen to OTB am Het but every Thursday or Friday they do a "Classic Games Club" where 3 of them will review a famous game of a particular sport and then they discuss a range of topics during the hour.

Their review of the Highbury Tunnel game was very good. On Thursday's show, they covered the Celtic 6-2 Rangers game.

I’ve actually never listened to it! But will definitely tune in for something like that. Thanks for the recommendation.

I watched a bit of the 2014 game, and noticed the first half was very similar to the 2010 Final. The Dutch were very cynical and the Spanish had most of the game. The Van Persie header was such a quality header and a total game changer.

In Sport on TV, Sky Sports have a virtual Grand Prix to replace the real Grand Prix. Today was supposed to be the Bahrain Grand Prix so they have a load of pundits in analysing a mix of ex-drivers and celebs playing a computer game of the circuit.

Ian Poulter, Liam Payne (One Direction) and Chris Hoy the only celebs I recognise

I read about that yesterday. It seems things were fairly straightforward there, I don’t think that’s feasible or fair elsewhere. It might be ok to give teams titles that are virtually won, but what about promotion and relegation? Most leagues will have to be played to a conclusion, unless all issues of importance are as good as decided.

All leagues should be finished, ideally by Christmas. 

Then the following season is only a half season games,  - only playing each team once, even split of home and away games and it's luck of the draw if you get your harder games at home. 

As for Europeean competition they can be creative, and anway that will only affect a small number of teams across all the European leagues, they will of course moan the loudest
It would damage this forums' reputation
