The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Hello all. The Beelist Channel is up and running and the first game can be viewed now.

http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBeelist

Lots of games to add over the coming months but as I've said elsewhere, if anyone at the club has any objections or copyright issues then I humbly apologise - just let me know and I will delete the channel.

Finally, I should say that I am doing this on a 25 year old Matsui mono VCR that cost me £2 at an auction, a £40 DVD Recorder and various bits of free software so please excuse the quality - particularly the sound which is a bit crap to say the least. I hope it is still good enough to be enjoyable :sorted:.

Probably still processing. Give it a while. First game is Aldershot at home 1971/72 in three parts. If it's not there now it will be in a while. If I get time, I'll do another game tomorrow :sorted:.

Great stuff. Hopefully common sense will prevail and this will all stay up.

Can't wait to see what else appears!

You're welcome :sorted:. Just to give you a little taster of what's to come over the coming weeks/months, the next three will be:

Watford (Home) 1978/79 (our QPR/Fulham grudge match of that era)
Sheffield Wednesday (Home) 1979/80
Walsall (Away) 1980/81

These will be the next three simply because they are already converted to DVD (having come from the same video). But also, in no particular order, will be.............

Liverpool (Home) 1982/83 (ish?)
Liverpool (Away) 1988/89
Manchester City (Home) 1988/89 (speshly for Bliss ;))
Fulham (Home) 1991/92
Peterborough (Away) 1991/92

This is, of course, providing the videos that have been gathering dust for twenty years will play alright.

I think that's about it match wise, but hopefully some other stuff will turn up. I have a few other bits I can add as well, e.g. goals compilations, interviews, Peterborough celebrations.

great stuff!!

i have some vids, i'll see what ones i have.

Forgive my ignorance of YouTube but there is so much Brentford related content on there, including some of mine, that it would be great for it all to be linked together collaberatively. Is there some way of doing this? Or is this Beeslist an attempt to do just that? If so, how does a technophobe like me link my content across to it?
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Great stuff vcmazz.
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Fantastic stuff!

How did we not win that?

Aldershot fans celebrating in the Oak?
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Many thanks vcmazz.:sorted: Looking forward to your other stuff, most of which I distinctly remember seeing at the time!
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Great memories. Peter Gelson's sideburns. Being able to name the team. Roger Cross's theatrical writhing around having been fouled. Cross's long throws

Mildly disappointed with John O'Mara - my great hero. There was one run by Docherty when he cut across the full back which would today surely have ended up with Docherty going to ground for a pen.

I can't imagine a modern manager agreeing with Jimmy Melia that the ref had a good game when Aldershot didn't get given a pen near the end.

I'd love to see some video of Gordon Sweetzer, if there is any out there. I think I've seen your Watford game and that was just after his era.

Many thanks for putting this up. It was a real nostalgia treat.
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

WOW that brings back some memories,nice to see some of the old players and the ground as it was,thanks a lot.

I had a look last night, way before my time but good scenes and a very decent way to use 20 minutes or so.:sorted:
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

I've got quite a few vids knocking about.

I'll have a look and see what I can find, then I'll send you a PM of what I have.
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Well done vcmazz - do you take requests?

If so the earlier the better mate - anything with super Stan Bowles taking the mickey would be brilliant mate

Thanks all. It's quite time consuming stuff so what I would suggest is this. I'll crack on and get all the games I have on there. Then once I've run out of stuff, assuming all is well and the games haven't been taken down for any legal reasons, maybe we can get our heads together, see who has what and look at ways to add everyones content :sorted:.

I'd personally rather keep the channel to proper games, interviews etc. rather than yer ten second mobile phone clip, but on the other hand that's just my opinion, it depends what everyone else thinks?

That's my opinion as well, but let's see what everyone else thinks.

Watford game from 1979 is up :sorted:.

It's a great game and things you might spot are.......

1) 'Hey Jude' during the warm up. Thirty one years ago!

2) Sandra's 'Watford W*****s scarf, for those who know the story of and remember it. You can't miss it. To the left of the Royal Oak goal in between two big cardboard badge looking things :confused:.

3) No segregation. Yellow red and black, red white and black all mixed together everywhere. Great days :sorted:.

Excellent.I enjoyed it very much,thank you.

Weird commentary moment from Bees v Watford, part 1:

'The forth meeting of the two clubs this season; they've met once in the league and twice in the league cup, with Watford winning on every occasion.'

Why did they replay that league cup match?!?

I agree as well:sorted: By the way Vcmazz do you have Fulham away in 94 I think when Brentford took over Craven Cottage I was too young but my dad tells me all about it and would love to see for myself what it was like. This stuff is great keep it going:)

I don't think so. What I've listed above is all I have at the moment. I used to have tons of stuff including a couple of Fulham away games from the late 80's but it's all gone missing over the years. I'm going to make an anonymous phone call to the police to say there is a dead body hidden in my house. If anyone can find these vids, they can lol.

All might not be lost though. Once I've finished uploading what I have, we'll investigate a way of getting other people's vids on there too :sorted:.

P.S. I went out and left a Sheff Weds game and a Walsall game uploading. I've just got back and haven't had time to check yet, but hopefully they're up and running :sorted:

Anyone got a copy? If so, there are two ways we could do this. 1) You would have to trust me with a loan of your video or 2) If you have the kit to upload it yourself, you could PM me and I could give you the channel's password. :fishing:

P.S. The bonus of loaning me a vid is that it would be returned with a baby brother DVD copy :sorted:.

Vcmazz what other games do you want on this channel that you havent got. P.S On this channel is it just the older games or recent ones aswell like Sunderland, Southampton away those kind of games.

vcmazz when is the next match being uploaded?
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Actually I've just remembered that I've probably still got a good few of our live games from the early-mid 1990's on video somewhere. I'll have a look, though a whole match would be a huge upload. Don't worry I probably taped over the Crewe Play Off final :D

Fulham at home, 91/92. Hopefully later tonight. I might get Peterborough done tomorrow but then I'm back on the old nightshifts so I'll need a bit of a break :sorted:
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

In late April 1992, a lesser club from Hammersmith visted Griffin Park in desperate need of points to secure a play-off place. What happened next was very, very, funny :yes:.

I'm off to bed, but I've left it uploading. Check it out in half an hour or so if you fancy a bit of light hearted late night viewing :).

Vcmazz, having just watched the Aldershot game i can't thank you enough for
this absolutely brilliant channel. The memories of watching my boyhood heroes
John O'Mara, Peter Gelson, Roger Cross, Johnny Doc, Jackie Graham and the rest came flooding back. If there are any more games/clips from this era i would be very interested in seeing them. For me, nostalgia doesn't get any better than this.
:)

Just been watching the Fulham game.

Brilliant stuff, never get tired of seeing that game.

Brilliant work, thanks very much. I keep looking for myself in the crowd, whiles away the hours at work a treat.

Why is our support behind the goal so poor? The brook road is packed i assumed that was the Brentford end but when Deano scores no one cheers. :(

No mate. The Brook Road was the Fulham end. If I remember rightly, there was some sort of issue at the time with the Ealing Road terrace - some work needed doing and the capacity ws dramatically reduced to just a few hundred. That's why it looks so empty :sorted:.

If you look carefully, when Bliss scored and ran over to the New Road there was a small group of Fulham in the corner.

Christ, I forget that I did the commentary for the Fulham game! What a day that was!!
 

The Beelist - Brentford Youtube Channel

Now folks, here's the situation. As mentioned, I work 12 hour night shifts and Monday and Tuesday is my 'weekend', which is why I've worked me nuts off the last couple of days getting as far as I have. I'm afraid there is no time to spend on it on work days (nights). I'm leaving for work shortly but when I go I'll leave the Peterborough game uploading in six parts so if you check about 6pm it should start appearing. The scenes in parts 5 and 6 are indescribable :sorted:.

That will be it until next week, when I'll try and get up the three games I will have left - Manchester City for Bliss and the 2 Liverpool games - providing the tapes play OK :fingerscrossed:.

There is a problem though :sad:. Whilst Mrs Mazz has been extremely understanding and patient with me these past few days, and will (hopefully) remain so while I get the last three games up, it has become obvious that patience might wear a little thin if I were to start taking in other people's tapes and spending all my (our) spare time on this. So what I want to know is this..............

Are there any other GPG'ers with Bees games, and the means to put them on Youtube? If so, Once I've finished my games, I could give you the password and you could take the baton. Then hopefully by the time you've uploaded your games, someone else might come forward. It would be great to keep this going so, any takers? :fishing:
