Spurs have had a decent season. I got my love of football and snooker from my grandad. He died about 15 years ago. But he had such an influence on me when I was younger.
He thought Steve was fab too!

I got my love of tennis off my mum - she loved it - on the day of the final she would get strawbarries, cream, pimms and lemonade - bless her - I keep up the tradition when I go to Wimbledon = hic hic!

Signing off now- good night - good talking to you (as it were) by the way we have turned this thread into snooker/tennis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good night

Sleep well

Footygirl

have just heard about the death of Alan Ball so very sad - he was one of my dad's favourites - and obvioulsy one of the stars of the 66' final - 61 is no age -very sad

Well Bally was one of the real characters in football. He was a good captain as well. I must admit to being shocked when I heard the news and all joking apart with the pitch of his voice I doubt you'd find anyone with a bad word to say about him

Hiya dancingfan

Hope you are O.K, had a day off watching the snooker and Steve with it. How are you

hi footygirl

hope all goes well at the footygame tomorrow night

Hiya dancingfan

Thanks for that, I'm thinking about next season, I'm after a move to TV as a match reporter, with four years experience do you think I have a chance.

Cheers

Susie

wow! I would say now is the right rime to go for it - I heard that MoD now have a female presenter (how long has that taken????) Tho' if you get a cushy tennis slot you will need a PA I will let you know if I can think of anyone
If you know your stuff and are passionate about it (which I think yes to both) then I say go for it

I'm after the BBC snooker job ,Would you still be interested.

Seriously, thanks for your encouragement. I know Sky will be there tomorrow, do you think it's worth having a chat with them

a snooker job? What you?????????????????? Now let me think - oh I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES!!!! Doh!

You have got to go for it now -would it mean working with a certain SD??? As for Sky - yes you have to go for it - otherwise you will regret it (I love the snooker sketch they do on Mitchell and Webb - comic genius) Let me know how you get on

Thanks for your support. I'll have a word tomorrow night. The snooker job with the Beeb, I could enjoy working with Mr Davis

oh, I think you might! Good luck

I think he'd be very helpful as well

and very funny

I'd be creased laughing after one day of work with him

I think Ray and John P would be good fun too if you want you can send me a PM and let me know how you get on - I am soooooooooooooo bad at interviews - the nerves take over

Hiya dancingfan

Just sent you a PM

*crashes into thread*

Go for it footygirl!!

When I were a nipper my ambition was to be Frank Bough - we need more ladies on sports programmes (esp. cricket!!!).

em, let me guess you are volunteering your services

MelG, you wouldn't have a liking for Mark Ramprakash would you

Thanks for your support and encouragement

just a quick visit before I had off to work to say all the very best -go get 'em

Mel G just reread your message - do you mind me asking why did you want to be Frank Bough There is a sentence I never ever thought I woud type

I was an avid fan of Grandstand as a child and thought he had the best job in the world! Mind you, I later changed my mind and wanted to be one of Pans People

In those days there were no women sports presenters, and I think it's great that more women have moved into sports presenting on the basis of their knowledge and presenting skills rather than token totty. People like Hazel Irvine and Clare Balding are great! As I mentioned before, cricket (and rugby come to think of it) seem to be the only sports with little female input.

I'd love to offer my services - but acknowledge that even with 20 odd years of watching cricket behind me I would still flounder in an in-depth discussion due to the complicated nature of the game. I find it much easier to hold my own in football and athletics discussions!
