I love this - Front of Match Magazine

[Buzzer]

That is fantastic. Is it this week's edition? If so I'm buying it tomorrow. Honestly - I can name Ronaldo but couldn't tell you who the others are (except for CMS)

It is a truly great thing for sons of all ages who have had to suffer such shit football for years to now be able to hold their own at school and to see Brighton players viewed in this way. I love it completely.

I love CMS too. Even if he runs like he's doing squat jogs (see Four Lions).

Shoot died years ago, a shadow of its former self. I think Shoot Annual probably still gets published each year.

 

[Raphael Meade]

jesus, that is f***ing brilliant!!!
never thought i'd see us on the front of match magazine in that company!

 

[Giraffe]

Is Shoot really dead? Sad times if true. Match magazine certainly does seem to have cornered the market for boys (and I guess girls!) football magazines.

I really loved Roy of the Rovers. When we were on the up in the 70's we would get a player featured at least once a month - be it Peter Ward, Peter O Sullivan (who they also featured when he played for Fulham), Brian Horton etc

I met someone a few years ago who worked on RotR and he said that there was a lot of rivalry played out on that comic as people tried to get their team mentioned the most. The one he remembered was one of the artists who was a fulham fan who drew a picture (based on a photo) or John Margerison scoring for Fulham against Brighton and because the Editor was a fulham fan it got put on the front cover and the photo went on the back page in the 'Great Goals' section.

Can you get one for me too please?

 

[brightn'ove]

If you have the magazine then you may know what I'm on about.. why is ronaldo playing with an npower football league ball in the middle page? Saw it in Asda and I'm confused...

Did you take that picture with a 1970's Polaroid??

Yes spot on. Then I scanned the Polaroid and uploaded it onto my iPhone.
