Things I learned today (Part 2)

[Fagan_ODowd]

I played SHL in Dublin on a Sunday morning. Then went to Croke Park with a taxi driver called Spud in the afternoon and had a feed of pints with him. I then went on to Na Fianna and played a Millar Shield match (junior hurling). I could barely stand up by this stage and I was roundly abused from the sideline by the selfsame Spud.

I had 3 fights in the Connacht Championship one Sunday back in the day winning all 3 but I don’t like to go on about it.

Pretty sure i played senior, minor and U15 all in the course of a balmy early afternoon. I think there might even have been a song written about it.

Up north, probably all the same game.

There is an England international footballer called Taylor Harford-Bellis who is apparently married to Roy Keane’s daughter.

I’d never heard of this person until 10:16am today.

And what took you so long to tell us?

There are only 13 hours and 38 minutes left today. This thread is about telling people what you have learned TODAY. You have to get in quick, otherwise you’ll forget all about it and then you’ll remember next week that you learned of a person’s existence on a particular day but you forgot to tell people about it, and the moment is gone forever. You can never get it back. These are the regrets you don’t want to experience in life.

MOTD was on ITV at one time

Des Lynam worked for ITV

[Bandage]

Beautiful Day by U2 was the signature tune but it was called The Premiership.

[Massey]

I remember ITV having The Big Match on a Sunday with Elton Welsby and Saint & Greavsie of a Saturday lunchtime.I don’t ever recall MOTD being on there

[Arthur]

I think they had a Monday night show presented by Matt smith? There was no weekly bbc motd when I first became a footix im almost sure. Only for fa cup weekends. Started back with the premier league in 92. Itv had the live matches and possibly no Saturday highlights show?

[Massey]

There’s always been a MOTD as far as I can recall
