A Saturday night of cash with Rich and Trev ***official Channel 865 show thread***

Hi folks,

Yep- I'm back and chomping at the bit (quite whose bits, I'll leave that for you to decide).

It's another live feast of pokertainment on your super-soaraway Channel 865
Sky Poker TV tonight, all kicking off of course at the princely time of 9pm.

It's all cash this evening and the main focus will be on the low to mid-stakes. So for those of you who've felt a little left out over the last few weeks as we've covered the big boys, then tonight's your chance to shine!

In the command module alongside me will be sports supremo, Trevor Harris.

And tonight we'll be playing the game that just won't go away...

Trevial Pursuit

Here's tonight's twist: Trevor will take as many callers as possible and each time they'll get 30 seconds to guess as many footballers that Trev will pull out of a hat and describe to them. Whoever gets the biggest score in their 30 secodns tonight will win a 55 quid entry a Sunday Primo!

Email us now with your name and phone number if you want to take part in this tonight, live on air.

The topic? Well, I don't know about you, but Wimbledon and the like are already doing my head in. I WANT THE  FOOTBALL BACK!

To keep the flame alive in the off-season, let's do a subject that was a massive hit on Twitter this week...

THE GOAL I REMEMBER

Tell us which one and why it was memorable.  Were you there at the game? Were you watching it in a pub or at home with your mates? Was your wife about to give birth? Did you lose a bet? Maybe you scored the goal yourself? Or do you remember it simply because it's the best goal you've ever seen?
WHY DOES ONE GOAL FOREVER STICK IN YOUR MIND?

The two I can think of are Michael Owen's wondergoal against Argentina at the World Cup 1998 and David Beckhams's last minute free-kick v Greece to get us into the 2002 World Cup finals.

Each time I screamed, fist-pumped, and did an impromptu lap of honour in front of a roomful of people.  I can't think of any other goals to match them for the sheer unadulterated joy they brought me!

Over to you! Plus of course, your usual comedy banter, hand requests etc.

See you at 9! :-)

    Most memorable has to be Archie Gemmills wondergoal against Holland in 1978 world Cup..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNK0sxfojuc..............closely followed by maradona's wonderful header in the 1986 WC QF :)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBXZx0Ky4gE

    Graeme Sharps stunning 35-yard strike at Analfield in 1984.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsBCEmKle_c

    For matches I've been to I'd have to say Stuart McCall v Sweden in 1990 world Cup and Paul rideout at wembley in 1995.

    have a great show guys :) 2 guys that oooooze class obv ;)

    Rob Edwards scored what must surely be one of the best "team goals" ever for Huddersfield at Maine Road, Manchester in 1997. I know I'm biased, but if Brazil had scored this goal, they'd still be talking about it. I have posted the link so you know I'm not exaggerating! 

    The best goal I've seen live.

    Hi Rich, Trev

    Most memorable goal, easy peasy, it is 1991 and round 4 of the then Littlewoods Cup, at the County Ground, the Super Owls had a midfielder by the name of John Harkes, in the Derby net, well, only Peter Shilton, so no worries there :), Harksey was fed the ball in midfield, he took 1, 2, 3 touches, 35 yards out let fly with his right peg, straight as an arrow into the top left hand corner of the net, Shilton, no chance whatsoever (Won the English Football Goal of the year award:)), then of course the final winner by John Sheridan both great goals in thier own right. GET IN lolol.

    If you want to see it, it is right here

    You can't show this (obviously) but for the avoidance of doubt, THIS is a goal:

    (If I have to have a cliched football one it's Sheringham, Champions League, yawn...I'd just run into the garden to tell my dad about the equaliser and just as I got back into the room they scored again. I screamed and my mum told me off.)

    Edit: this is also a goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzbmI6-YSnQ&feature=related

    The goal I remember the most has got to be the beachball goal against Liverpool  17.10.09, I had a bet with my friend cause he supports Liverpool and I support Chelsea and we had a bet that if Liverpool let a goal in then he would admit Chelsea is better than Liverpool :)

    a little bit of bad luck XD

    Aaron Lennon's equaliser for Spurs vs Arsenal in the 4-4 game a few years ago - bet Trev loved this too!!!!

    All the hype was how Arsenal were gonna crush us after we'd thrashed them in the Carling Cup 
    (and their excuse of it being their youth team). Was watching the game with an Arsenal fan who had spent the whole match gloating. When the goal went in, I jumped, shouted, ran around the living room, high fived my son, jumped some more and then gloated back for the rest of the season :)

    Oh, we won the Carling cup that season too - something that filled the trophy cabinet apart from the dust that fills the cabinet at The Emirates ;)

    Wethers goal v Liverfool that kept us (albeit briefly...) in the Premiership...and had the added pleasure of keeping the fools out of Europe...

    The final few minutes went something like this...

    Wimbledon's 14-year stay in the top flight of English football has ended, and Bradford are to spend a second season in the Premiership.
     

    David Wetherall scored an early goal for Bradford against Liverpool to give his side a real chance of Premiership survival.

    Wayne Bridge's 57th minute free kick goal for Southampton against Wimbledon meant that it was the Dons who were heading to the Nationwide League with an hour gone in both games.

    When Saints striker Marian Pahars made it 2-0 at The Dell with 11 minutes remaining, it meant that Bradford only needed a draw.

    Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, the beginning of our demise!!!

    Fantastic goals. The Harkes goal is one of the best i've ever seen. The Sheridan goal was brilliant, for us in the 2nd division to beat Man Utd in a final was awesome.

    I'd have to put Chris Waddles free kick in the FA Cup semi final against our neighbours as my favourite goal.

    Just because of the occasion, to be playing our bitterest rivals at Wembley in an FA Cup semi final was epic.

    25 April 1992

    Sheffield United v Leeds United

    score is 2-2

    A Leeds win will put them 4 points clear at the top of the Old Division 1 with one game to go.

    A long clearance by Leeds, being marshalled back to the goal by Sheffield Captain Brian Gayle, Simon Tracey the Sheffield goalie coming out to the edge of the area.

    As the ball bounces, Gayle knees it up into the air and as Tracey comes to collect, Gayle decides to head it back towards goal, putting it past Tracey and into the goal for a 3-2 win for Leeds.

    Both memorable and funny, a ridiculous way to win the league championship  but hey myself and every other Leeds fan didnt care how it went in in the end :)

    Quite obviously being a man utd fan I should give trev a rub down and say my most memorible is Ryan Giggs' epic goal but no. I have to say it has to be ole gunnar solskjaer's winner in the 98-99 treble winning season in the champions league. I remember i was about 8 and was crying in my room when i heard my dad scream and upon hearing that ran downstairs opened the door and as i did so entered the room just as beckham took the corner and the feeling that went through me when it words dont describe

    Also as the footie season has finished I've found myself getting into the whole haye vs klitschko fight and i have to say it is building up nicely and should end in a ko either way but im putting money on Haye. So I'll probally miss a bit to most of the master cash show next week but dont fear ill sky+ it ;-)
