Phones, hey? These days, if your battery runs out during the game it feels weirdly quiet just looking at one screen, and if you're watching on time-delay, you realise it's pretty lonely with just Nisbo and Justin Marshall for company. It's a far cry from the Olden Days, when a poorly-programmed VCR could ruin your sporting week. I used to call an 0900 number to get English football results on a Sunday morning, and sometimes pick up Shoot magazine, which would eventually turn up from England three months after the fact.
