The Match

[Dan_]

The football reality tv show is back soon. For those of you who did not see the first one it was a team of celebs managed by former Watford and England manager Graham Taylor against a team of ex-footballers managed by Sir Bobby Robson. The ex-pro's won 2-1 but the celebs played well.

42 celebs are supposed to be interested in taking part this year with 5 already signed up in the form of Johnathan Wilkes, Ben Sheppard, MC Harvey, Darren Campbell and Alex Stewart who all played last year. Anthony winner of BB6 is meant to be in the running to make the squad along with Phil Tuffnel, Nigel Benn, Steve Brookstein, Shane Lynch and Dane Bowers.

ANTHONY Hutton, winner of Channel Four's Big Brother TV show, joined other celebrities for a football match at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre last Sunday.

The match was part of trials for Sky One programme The Match, which pits a team of celebrities against a team of ex-professionals.

Other faces playing for a chance to get into the celebrity 11 included ex-boxer Nigel Benn and ex-cricketer Phil Tufnell.

[Ruth]

I remember the last series; it was great. I wanted the celebs to win, but I think it's fair to say that they gave the pros a good run for their money.

Not sure I would class some of those participating as celebrities though! Steve Brookstein? Seriously, a celeb?:bored: and the lead singer of Curiosity Killed The Cat? It does make me wonder how many people they asked before they got to those two!

But I'm looking forward to seeing Tuffers - he's always entertaining. In fact, he would make a great Celeb BB contestant!

[Dan_]

The trials show starts on sunday. I think they will get it down to 19/20 players.

[Ruth]

Oh I'll definitely be watching that.

Thanks for the info Fernzy:thumbs:

[BigSister]

Thanks Dan for the information

[Z]

Lee Latchford Evans! Yay! I used to think he was... awesome... but I've since grown out of Steps... But ya still gotta give Lisa Scott-Lee credit, she doesn't give up!

[Sunny_01]

I was actually at the match last year - it was fantastic to be honest and even better knowing Robbie was not a million miles away. I know he wanted to sit with me but security issues and all that!!

I saw Jonathon Wilkes in the Rockey Horror picture show and have to say he looks better in football shorts than drag!

[guttridge]

i miss tonight will it be back on soon

[Dan_]

Next sunday at 7.30pm Guttridge is when it's next on and it will be on for the whole week as they cut the team down to 16 players.

[Ruth]

I'm glad Tuffers got through, but disappointed that Tim Foster didn't.

[BigSister]

Thanks for that dan will watch it next week:dance:

[Dan_]

I am glad Anthony, Patrick McGuiness, Andy Scott-Lee and the two dream team lads got through. Bit sad that Terry Kiely(Fletch in dream team) did not make it through because he is a legend!

[bbslilspy]

Anthony benched hahaha! But i think Sam will go tomoro

[Di2001]

I bet Granny Hutton is placing a few phone votes for him :laugh:

[Dan_]

Anthony is a good player and I will proably vote to save him. I think Jim will go.

[Ruth]

I think Jim will go. I was surprised Graham put them on the bench, because there are worse players. I understand why he did it - and to be honest I thought it was very disrespectful of them to turn up late, but I would have thought that he would have been eager to get rid of some the players who weren't as good. I honestly thought Brookstein would have been on the bench.

[Susie]

Well, everyone has to start voting again for Anthony to keep him in The Match - he's managed to be on the bench tonight - day 1 !!!! So, to keep him in, please vote everyone -


The number to ring is 090149 01601 or text Match Anthony 83088


Good Luck Ant.

[jrc]

There's already a thread on this.

[Susie]

sorry

[jrc]

It's OK, no need to apologise. :hello:

[Kaz]

Just merging the two topics together - thanks for the info, Susie. :thumbs:

And while I'm here, I'll move the whole thread to 'Other Reality TV' ...... because it is! :laugh:

Haven't watched this series yet ......... must remember - must remember - must remember ..... :spin2:

[BigSister]

Its on tonight Kaz at 9 and I need to remember as well

[Kaz]

Thanks, BigSister. :thumbs:

Might have to tape it then ......... clashes with the second part of 'Waking the Dead'. :rolleyes:

[BigSister]

oops forgot to say what side its on Sky1

[James]

Watch the video clips on Sky Red button interactive and you can see a clip of Darren Campbell telling Anthony what happened when he got drunk during the Ambassador's Ball in Big Brother. :hugesmile:

[James]

Here's some pictures of Anthony from the first two episodes of the show...

[Di2001]

The last pic is when Anthony has just been told he's up for the public vote. I thought he didn't look very impressed :laugh:

Looking forward to tonight's show.

Thanks for the pics James :hello:

[Dan_]

Anthony won the kick-up's challenge with 144.

[cc100]

Ant looked gutted.

Its a great show, but I dont think that the game will be as close as last year as the celebs do not have a proper goalkeeper this year.

[texbex]

I think so far it is absolutely wicked I didnt watch the first series but it looks good I cant believe Ant is on the bench I aint too bothered about the other two but I have voted for Ant to stay in the squad

[James]

Sam Robertson got the 'boot' tonight. Steve Brookstein, Patrick McGuinness, Iwan Thomas have now been lined up for the chop.

[Ruth]

I was really surprised that Sam went. I really thought Jim would go. To be fair to Sam, he took it really well, and I noticed that he was the only one actually apologised to Graham for being late.

I really hope that Brookstein goes tonight.

[Dan_]

Sam was a good player sad to see him go but glad Anthony stayed.

Iwan Thomas to go on footballing ability.

[bbslilspy]

i didnt want any of them to go but out of the 3 i wanted ant and jim to stay. Iwan to go tonight!!

[BigSister]

Dunno really who I want to go tonight but sad that Sam went. Glad Anthony stayed though

[Ruth]

I like Iwan Thomas, so I hope he stays. Although if he is the worst one out of the three for ability, I suppose he should go, but I want Brookstein to go, because his face really annoys me:mad:. Also the fact that he seems to think he is a world famous singer with an amazing voice. Who's he kidding?!

Sorry, went off on a bit of a rant there. Looking forward to the show tonight!:thumbs:

[bbslilspy]

I missed last night whos up who got the boot and what happened in newcastle game?

[BigSister]

erm Steve went Patrick Jim and Tuffers are up on bench I just watched end so didnt see Newcastle match

[James]

The game against Newcastle lasted 30 minutes and finished 6-0 to Newcastle.

The Newcastle team was a mixture of first-teamers and squad players. Ameobi and Bowyer played, if I remember rightly.

[Ruth]

I really hope Jim goes tonight. I've already voted for Tuffers to stay in! The Newcastle game was a bit of a whitewash wasn't it really?!

[Dan_]

I can see Tuffers being a liabilty, he's a great bloke but not a good keeper.

[BusyBee]

Awful lot of big egos on this team!

[BigSister]

Jim went last night and Iwan, Dane and Will are up for the chop. Its at 10pm tonight

[Ruth]

I want Will Mellor to go tonight, but unfortunately I reckon Iwan will go.

Incidentally, I'm still waiting for Harvey to have any conversation that doesn't include the words "when we played the legends last year...", or that isn't having an argument with someone. He's a good player, but he's very annoying.

Glad Jim went last night.

[Legend]

I didnt want Jim to go last nite cos he is better than Phil n considering it is a serious football match i think Jim deserved to stay over Phil even thou Phil is the clown like. HAHA, did yas see Anthony Hutton fall asleep in the talk, how rude eh :P

Hope Will or Iwan goes tonight, I hope Dane stays cos he missed out last year so DANE TO STAY lol.

[Ruth]

I know Phil isn't as good as Jim, but I don't really know a lot about football, so I just go by who I like. It's probably wrong, but I'm sure that they know that a lot of people will do that.

[Legend]

Yeah that's how the vote goes all the time. The one who is least popular is out even if it means he's the best player lol.

And it's a shame aswell the way it turns out moist of the time.

[BigSister]

:laugh: yeah I saw that too Anthony. Tonight im not really sure I want to go proably Will as he is kind of injured

[Dan_]

I think Will should proably go. It will be tough to pick the starting line-up.

[bbslilspy]

i wante jim to stay i think that was stupid. Iwan to go tonight

[texbex]

I think Iwan should go cos I like Will and Dane is alrite

[Legend]

My mum is hogging the sky so can someone tell me who goes please?

Thanks in advance :P

[BigSister]

Will got saved Ant Dane and Iwan wont know who is going till tommorow

[Ruth]

I think Iwan will go tonight.

[Dan_]

Yer he proably wil. I would feel sorry for Dane if he does go as that would be 2 years in a row.

[bbslilspy]

Yeah i know i hope Iwan goes

[Princess]

Should have noticed this thread before:mad:.I think Iwan will go as well, i dont really dont,i didnt want Sam or Jim to go.I though they were hot, I was so relieved Ant stayed

[BigSister]

Never thought of that Dan:shocked:. On that basis I want Iwan to go then. They name the team tonight but I wont know until I get home

[Dan_]

I think I can guess 9/11 of Graham's team. Lawler, Craig, Little, Scott-Lee, Wilkes, Shephard, Hutton, Cambpell and Harvey with Danny Young and David Jones the other two.

[James]

The presenters said on yesterday's show that Anthony always got a bad reception from the Newcastle audience even though he's from there. Maybe they don't like him all that much?

[Legend]

[Di2001]

Well, the celebs didn't win but our Anthony Hutton was awarded Man of the Match :thumbs:

It was a good game.

[BigSister]

My dad was impressed with Anthony grrr that Ally mc coist scored again!

[Dan_]

Anthony was the best player by a mile for the celebs.

[skelo4eva]

yeah but he missed a great chance

[BigSister]

it was a save by the goalkeeper I thought he missed but Nevile got an hand to it

[Dan_]

Yep he did'nt miss it was a great save.

[Ruth]

I'm not really a fan of Anthony, but I've got to hand it to him...he played brilliantly. Even though the celebs lost, they did really well, and should hold their heads up high.

[rachb]

It was a great match and I'm not at all a football fan but thought Anthony was very good.
I thought it was a shame they didn't give him man of the match award before most people had left though:bored:
he seemed so thrilled to even be playing that it would have been nice to see the crowds response.

[Princess]

I though it was a brill match, they all did brill,I though Ant was brill as well as everyone else and both goalies were brill.

Anyone have a pic of wilkesy with the bandged head?-he looked hilarous:laugh:

[cc100]

It was superbly entertaining.

The celebs really could have won!
