I'm slightly obsessed with these. This one is particularly good if you stick with it.

If I missed the results on the teleprinter I would watch the classified results but hide our score and that of our opponent with a newspaper, gradually revealing the match score. As I attended most home matches, I would only do this if we were playing away.
Say our opponent had scored 3, you more or less knew we had lost the game but occasionally it would reveal a 3-4 away win for us, the feeling of elation I can still remember to this day.
If I buy a paper these days it's Sunday or Monday
Football results , attendances, league tables
Absolutely love it
Not the same on the TV when it flashes by too quickly or on the internet
I used to have a scrapbook with the league table every Monday in and every report on the game
But I gave that up
About a month ago
Me too....you could usually tell the second team's score by the pitch of the reader's voice...>!Quote:

These results are nearly 40 years old but spotting a Swansea defeat and, then eventually, a Cardiff win, were followed by a mild fist pump for each!Quote:

The pools points down the side as well.
No talking allowed in the house when this was happening.Quote:

Youngsters won’t believe it, but often the first time you heard how your team had got on was when it came through on the teleprinter or was read out on the classified results.
haha loved the "real time" score update. Some interesting league fixtures too - Man City v Shrewsbury in div 2 stood out.Quote:

The return fixture at the vetch was the same score , we were two nil up and Dean Saunders driving instructor nicked it for them at the endQuote:
