I remember watching a Watford penalty shootout on Ceefax back in the day.

Loved reading the transfer gossip after coming home from school 😂

Looks like the 2001/02 season. Halcyon days indeed.

simonmcmaster.bsky.social•86 days ago

Simpler times.

Chelsea absolutely 'aving a larf in that second half

Didn’t @leedsunited.com go top that day after winning 3 nil in the late kick off? #LUFC

lufchris.bsky.social•86 days ago

We did. And then proceeded not to win again until March and finish outside of the Champions League places.

I can remember the teleprinter on Grandstand. In black and white.

callumdowning23.bsky.social•86 days ago

Genuinely how I learned to read

BBC BBS?

Between 14 and 16 we used to stand outside Dixons from 16.45 waiting for scores coming in.

rosser-gooner.bsky.social•86 days ago

Watching the vidiprinter from bbc?

cromp74.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yeah mate, till about 16.45 it was ceefax

rosser-gooner.bsky.social•86 days ago

Absolute mad that we would sit there waiting for a ceefax page to reload to see the scores. Memories of my poor dad (Burnley fan) shouting at ceefax / vidiprinter quite a lot.

cromp74.bsky.social•86 days ago

Some weeks there would be a big crowd, a lot of guys who had obviously been dragged out shopping lol, good memories.

Back in the days? Here in The Netherlands we (I) still use this. There is even a app for this.

Haha amazing

connormot92.bsky.social•86 days ago

Good times. Loved checking the scores on that😍

betterredthandead.bsky.social•86 days ago

The dread of waiting for the page 3/3 to come back round again.

gingers4limpar.bsky.social•86 days ago

And a goal was a goal, once listed - no fear of “VAR ❌”

mattytowers.bsky.social•86 days ago

Fowler scored a lovely goal for leeds in that late kick off

heathen1892.bsky.social•86 days ago

I still do. 302 BBC.

ellandroadfaithful.bsky.social•86 days ago

Get that hold button ready

inamac73.bsky.social•86 days ago

How I realised I needed glasses

jeremynestor.bsky.social•86 days ago
