Re: Greatest Televised Game - The Poll!
14 of these games, I have either not seen, or had so little interest at the time, I do not remember.
I think if I voted, newer games would be favoured over some potentially better ones from the past, which is why I've abstained, until such time that the old games are available to watch.

Re: Greatest Televised Game - The Poll!
If you guys really want, I could cancel this off, and restart the nomination discussion, though I'm not sure how many of those mentioned would be potential winners. What do you say? Nah. It's a bit of fun. What I would suggest though, is that sometime in the future... perhaps 2032 for the 50th birt...

Re: Greatest Televised Game - The Poll!
The nominations phase was too short and largely went unheralded.
I object to this entire process!

Re: Greatest Televised Game - The Poll!
Mikey Lear's first game was one of the most memorable ones from the (distant) past.
Also, the first game of Tracey Mills's Octorun was breathtaking. One of the most edge-of-seat games ever.

Final 4. Let's not overlook Jeremy (or Stu, but I assume you were omitting Jeremy).
