5 live no longer doing classified results service

[Bluearmy]

Will never get to hear "East Fife 5, Forfar 4"

Genius…..

This feels wrong this. It’s just part of Saturday to me… since we got good and have kickoff times all over the place it’s not quite the same but I used to enjoy tuning in on the way back from a game.

BBC Radio 5 Live drops classified football results

The traditional reading out of the football results at 5pm on a Saturday is axed by BBC Radio.

Listening to all the classified results is still a ritual I love. Time stands still

I gave up on football radio a while back. TalkSPORT is just recycled banter and bait depending on the results.

5 live decided to start going that way too when Pougatch was binned and I just couldn’t be arsed with it.

I’d love a Radio 4 version of sporting radio, but I guess the demand isn’t there and podcasts have filled that void.

Agreed re your last sentence.

Garry Richardson’s Sportsweek programme Sunday mornings - on 5 live ironically - was the nearest thing I’ve heard to what I’d think of as a Radio 4 sports format - but it got axed for Love Island Laura and the rest of the “revamp” …

Err......?

To be honest with phones and internet I haven't listened to it for years except in the car after a rare Staurday 3.00 game and even then found it tedious.

Forget the Zen yoga or brethwork, the candles,crystals and holistic bath salts. A sit down and listen to the classified is more calming than all of that shit put together

I thought it was
East Fife 4 Forfar 5

They're fed up of saying United 1 (in a low key voice).

Pfft. This just doest have a place in modern coverage. Back in the day you had to know when this was on and tune in to find your teams score. If your were following a lower league club and you missed you would have to get the paper the next day. Then teletext came along and you had a solution so this became a relic.
