Do I Not Like That!

[Slim]

Yep...

"He's gonna clip one.....HE'S GONNA CLIP ONE!"

I watched that match in the student union (the good old days ) and the thing is it was sooooooooooo obvious he was going to clip one over the wall, but Seaman was standing at the other side of the goal and couldn't get across quick enough.

Yep, it was. I vividly remember being in the pub and me and all the lads saying "it's sooooooo obvious"

rob shephard - what a gob ****e

and that brian woolly fella

LINESMAN LINESMAN

[Slim]

FFS i'm out tonight this show is lethal!! Best bit is when boys are giving **** behind him and Taylor blurps " Just be careful thats another human being your talking about there"!

Seeing the programme again last night it seemed that was England fans giving abuse to John Barnes, the ******s.

Taylor handled it very well, if also coming across as slightly Partridge-esque at the same time.

[Shaggy]

It was really good to see it again but it was heavily edited - loads from the original doc was cut. Shame really.

"Come on! Rise yourselves! Look for your win!"

still fatty lampard getting it these days

oh and isnt phil neal a great fellow

[Maxiedge]

yes boss, he is.

[Shaggy]

Also the Phil 'Parrot' Neal scenes are absolutely appalling.

Taylor: "They've gone to ****ing sleep."

Neal: "...sleep" (in that annoying way that people finish off sentences for you)

Taylor: "Ooooh, ****ing... do I not like that!"

Poland win the ball, break downfield and score.

Taylor: "What a ****ing ball. Eh! What a ball, eh, from Des to Barnesy. What a ****ing... It was our possession!"

Phil Neal: "I know."

Taylor: "It was from our free kick. We've come square, and the ball... Des and Barnesy, eh? ****ing ball, eh? You can talk till you're ****ing blue in the face, can't you?"

Phil Neal: "Yes boss."

Taylor : "We've done that f**king... CAN WE NOT KNOCK IT? They've done everything that we told them not to do. Everything that we told them not to do."

Neal: "Everything."

Taylor: "We’ll have to get Wrighty on shortly."

Phil Neal: "We’ll have to give Wrighty a go. Yeah let's do it. Let's get Wrighty on."

Another goal, this time in Norway...

Taylor: "We're in ****ing trouble here. He's scored. Goal. He's beaten him on his near post."

Neal: "He's beaten him on his near post. Gone over his head."

Ah, I was wondering about that as it seemed different to when I first saw it, but I thought that was my memory playing tricks on me.

"HEY! REFEREE! What have they been told? What have they been told?"

Yeah there were a few times when I was waiting for a particular quote and the scene was chopped off. I thought the original was about two hours long – they condensed it all into about 45 minutes.

One bit omitted was when Palmer scored at Wembley and Taylor says…”Goal! Barnsey…no, Carlton. What’s he doing there eh? What’s he ****ing doing there? We told him not to ****ing get into the box, eh! Eh!”, and also from the same game when the crowd are killing Digger and Taylor’s lamenting the morons in the crowd and the press. We got a bit of that but it went on for much longer.

Hardly showed any footage from training sessions either, nor the Norway calamity in all of its glory (in particular the Nigel Clough bit – “so am I playing on the left or the right?”

[Slim]

I was sure there was more of the Norway match in the original, as I remember him screaming at Les Ferdinand to do something, Sir Les shrugs his shoulders as if to say he isn't getting decent service, and Taylor shouts, "appen you should tell 'em Les!"

I thought it seemed a bit edited. What a pitty.

The documentary was quite tame by today's standards, but when it was first aired, it was dynamite. You just didn't get swearing on documentaries, and it really captured the mood of the time i.e. the general hatred of Graham Taylor. At the time, his professionalism in the face of the abuse just escaped me.

Nowadays, with Gordan Ramsey, and Wife Swap dominating the airwaves, it is indeed a bit dated, but a real landmark in my opinion,

Yeah totally agree. I think had it been broadcast in full it would have been much better – originally, IIRC, it was a Ch4 programme and obviously they’re a lot braver than ITV, who screened it last night. The editing really detracted from it and, as you say, a lot of the original impact was lost.
