Soccer AM Cancelled

[Metal Biker]

Shit, that was still going? Thought it had been cancelled in 2012

I'm another one who stopped watching when Lovejoy & Chambelain left.

Think I watched the rag a couple of times and that was that.

Used to find the naked ramblers as the clocks went forwards/backwards especially funny.

That's when it should have ended.

They had the right balance. Rushden tried and failed. Cockney rag destroyed it, although it was funny watching Ray Winstone rinse him.

Does anyone remember Cricket AM. When Sky tried to ape the same formula for the sport.

As a young pervert the highlight for me was Sarah Jayne Mee wearing very short summer skirts and the Camera man trying to find the safe angle.

It was groundbreaking back in the day. Didn’t see it for many years but I’ve stumbled across it a couple of times recently and it doesn’t offend me. There’s worse things on TV. I quite like the main guy. Don’t know his name. The segment where he takes the piss out of Jeff Sterling is quite funny. Although I imagine if he does it every week, it would get a bit tedious.

Bullard was the final straw for me

The guy is a prick,...still thinks he's 21.....plastic cockney wanker.

If the OP hadn't posted I wouldn't have had a clue it was still on.

 

[BELFAST_BLUE_BOY]

I thought it had been scrapped 10 years ago???

I stopped watching it years ago. It is probably past it's sell by date. More surprised it's still running than the news that it's being cancelled.

I used to enjoy it back years ago when it first started. I had no idea it was still going.

The only time I watch Skysports these days is when a match starts and turn it off when it’s finished

Other than that watch a little bit of golf now and then

The worst part of football on sky is the pundits commentating. I never watch Skysports News in the same way I never listen to Talksport.

Not inclusive enough or just shit? Only time will tell.

Time has told, it was shit.

Should have finished after 10 years. Overstayed it's welcome for decades.

Thats pretty much when Lovejoy left and i stopped watching as well.

Was suited to a particular era that's long gone.

As everyone says, it started going downhill when Lovejoy left. Thought Max Rushden was alright but the format was growing a bit stale by the early 2010s and when Bullard came in I thought that was a bit of a desperate move.

Haven't watched it for years but noticed that it went from being a 3-hour show on a Saturday morning to getting just the 1 hour not long ago. A sign that they were running out of material and needed to find another angle.

But they didn't find that other angle and now it's gone.

It's been such a long time that I had Sly I'd forgotten it even existed.

 

[aguero93:20]

Oh no, whatever will I do now.

 

[manimanc]

Is it only me who likes it? I'm gutted.

(I'll get my coat)

 

[SamBlue]

I always hated it, a football show made by and for people like that Sunday Brunch geezer!

 

[Ballosteve]

Goldstein helped kill it. Soccer AM was all about real football fans and this guy came in and was plastic cockney glory hunting United fan at the forefront.

Goldstein shit himself when he was challenged by Ray Winstone why he was a rag and from London.. I would of loved Winstone to smash fuck out of the plastic rag gobshite live on telly...

 

[bluedan]

It finished when Lovejoy left.

Used to love it , but I think that was over 20 years ago. I did catch a snippet of it recently and it looks like it was on its arse.
