That is a bit harsh
 
Re: WING WIZARD SAYS YES!!!

Pre-t`internet days this was where I got my transfer gossip from also. They used to make up some right shite with the hope that people would ring the premium number to listen to the transfer news. Someone somewhere made a lot of Pat Cash out of the idea.
 
Not an ad for a premium rate line but I did chuckle once upon a pre-season when RTE's text headlined with the stunning news that the whole football world had been waiting for...


KEEGAN MAY PLAY JIHAI IN MIDFIELD


Now, that was a slow news-day.
 
ermmm sat there all afternon with the city score at 0-0 unknown too me it wasnt refreshing not a bad result i thought at f-t only to discover we got stuffed in the sundays
 
When the headline flashed you knew it was serious.

Horrifyingly, the first google image for teamtalk teletext is this..

This is going to sound a bit rotten but when I was about 18 I used to go round to this lads flat (he was a bit slow as we used to say back then) and ring clubcall every day. Did it for months until the bill came in,it ran to thousands and this poor lad had his phone cut off and was taken to court! I still feel a bit bad about that sometimes but I really needed to know if Murtaz Sheila was coming or not!
