in General Charlton
A couple of Charlton related questions this week, in the action round.

The Stoke player scoring was... Ricardo Fuller (they had to guess the year as well).

More interestingly, the other team had to guess the year of a different clip. The Jon Fortune goal that sent Palace down...

    Glad I'm not the only one that feels like that about him!

    Yes, for the year guessing, both teams were surprisingly wrong with the football goals.

    Got a lot of ego I feel - almost takes-over the programme.

    Question of Sport is one of the most good-natured, inoffensive programmes out there - but I knew that if anyone was going to find something to complain about, they would be a member of Charlton Life.

    You may have a point about CL, but you cannot deny the "dumbing down" of another BBC cornerstone.

    Peppered with "C" list pole-vaulters garnering applause for remembering which Latvian was in front of them in the lunch queue at the World Federation wildcard qualifying heats in Hanover last January.

    Emlyn will be spinning in his grave, watching Tuffers miming sychronised swimming to a girl that was 9th in the ju-jitsu and a bloke who plays rugby for Eastbourne.

    Beefy (single-handed Headingly Aussie-basher) Botham would cringe as the mystery guest is revealed as, none-other than 4 times world speedway quarter-finalist Bobby "the Bike" Blenkinsop.

    .............

    that's enough examples......Ed

    One more example, Ed: Bill Beaumont and 'Beefy' Botham, necks wider than heads, tapping their pencils on the desk in a testosteronic berk-fest....

    Doesn't mean it's funny, though.

    A stupid refresh killed the programme. I'm sure after a polite interval it will return

    No at all surprised. Another show destroyed by box ticking .

    My favourite era, with Sue, Ally McCoist and John Parrott was often hilarious, and funnier than any comedy panel show. It's about getting the chemistry right, while keeping the integrity of the sports quiz element.

    I have always found Paddy McGuiness to be a charmless dork on both QOS and Top Gear. I suppose the problem is that decent/ known sports personalities cant be arsed to appear on it anymore. It was always cited to be the show with the longest waiting list for audience tickets.

    It's clear that Perfect Curve were given a say in the show's development. 

    Another symptom of the BBC trying to identify what they do best and finding more ways of doing less of it better.

    Whoever decided Paddy McGuinnes was the right choice to host it should be fired. Awful, unfunny presenter.

    Haven't watched it for years loved Billy Beaumont and Emlyn Hughes and a few after that including John Parrot. Most of the sports stars on it today when i have briefly tuned in have no idea who they are.

    Haven't watched it since the Sue Barker Tuffers Dawson/Mccoist days. Was surprised it was still going!

    Could do with a serious sports quiz show, maybe like Mastermind, no celebs just members of the public.

    Years ago they had one on radio, was it Brain of Sport or something like that.
