Postponed: Bradford Park Avenue St Helens Town. Marino: Performing Dolphin fact on occasions it has had the opposite effect by drawing big crowds to Wembley for American Bowl and WLAF matches. It has also generated considerable business for the rag trade. The TV coverage itself is largely dictated by what the Americans put out and while most of the time Channel 4 package this impressively, they can be infuriatingly rigid in sticking to a well-tried formula. The Buffalo Bills' 41-38 overtime win over the Houston Oilers in the first play-off, after they had been 35-3 down in the third quarter, was a case in point.

The biggest comeback in the game's history was treated as perfunctorily as if it were a traffic announcement. Mechelen 0 Warogem Lommel 0 Ghent Charleroi 1 Lierse FC Liege 1 Cercle Bruges 1.

Thackley 1 North Ferriby Uld 3. FOUR hours of cricket being shown on US television is about as likely as Saddam Hussein being offered a game show.

In this country, though, a sport which is as essentially American as cricket is reflective of the British continues to attract enough viewers to win a slot this evening from eight until after midnight. American football has been shown on Channel 4 since the upmarket commercial channel was born in Noverr.ber 1982. It was watched by (around one million viewers then and will draw roughly the same number tonight for highlights of the Miami Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills followed by the San Francisco 49ers against the Dallas Cowboys live. The winners will go forward to Super Bowl XXVII, a riveting event which is both as pretentious as those Roman numerals (the 888th edition will be DCCCLXXXVIII for goodness sake) and as genuine as the brilliant throwing technique of Miami's Dan Marino. The effect of American football being popularised on Channel 4 has gone way beyond keeping thousands of people indoors on Sunday evenings.
