Customer Reviews

Great footie, bad DVD
Having my doubts about this DVD, I rented rather than bought. Glad I did.

One of the first things you're faced with, even before the football begins, is a warning that the DVD is made up of pictures from the original recording back in 1970 (rather obvious I thought), and you are futher warned that as a consequence, occasional picture glitches and erratic sound quality would occur. Well, for "occasional" read "frequent".

As if this weren't enough, the Old Trafford replay is a bit of a con. It has commentary by Brian Moore and, fine commentator though he was, it is quite obvious that this is far from being a live commentary. You can tell from his more mature tones and choice of words (he got better as the years went by) that it was probably recorded some 30 years later. To top it all, the crowd atmosphere has clearly been dubbed in, something you can tell from the unvarying level of noise; even when a goal is scored, there is little difference.

What should have been a fine archive collection of two good matches is, I'm afraid, a bit of a farce. It really deserves just a one-star rating, but the fine football on offer pushes it up just a notch.

disappointing
I was extremely disappointed with this I expected the first match in full instead of highlights, especially as amazon sell another diferent DVD of the replay.
