Holy crap that show is an embarrassment.
If the Beeb want to save some money, they should just broadcast RTE's 'Premier Soccer Saturday' which is vastly superior and more entertaining in every respect.
Oh dear, what a ****.
I barely watch MOTD now anyway. I normally record it if we win and fast forward through the Old Boys. I've probably watched more episodes of MOTD2 this season.
It is getting piss poor. It is like most other stuff at the BBC these days. Fancy looking studio using graphic effects. Padding out the program with other crap - today some shit about some northern bints in the olympics - like fuck off, this is supposed to be Match of the Day. Take out the crap they add which is not related to the topic and we could have at least 10 more minutes of play from the matches.Originally Posted by GB.
The same guys getting familiar with each other and drifting into 'in' jokes and banter so the program is now getting stale having forgotten the original purpose. Thank goodness that could never happen to GW, otherwise people might post a lot less, drift away or maybe not become regulars.
It is in a total mess. A mess they are not interested in sorting. Judging by comments on Twitter and the like from GL, he and the production team really do think we want:
80minutes a week of poorly and over-briefly edited matches in which they all end up looking exactly the same, regardless of how good/bad they actually are.
A magazine-style format in which "goals, excitement, and controversy" have to be flagged up at the start of the show - because far be it from us the viewing public to have the patience to see those things unfold for ourselves!
'Analysis' which is either a slow-motion replay of a goal discussed verbatim, or a red circle/blue line showing that somebody ran a bit to get into position. Johnathan Wilson it ain't.
Presenters closing the show by doing unfunny stereotypical 'impressions' of a manager WHEN IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TOPIC AT HAND (Wigan).
Okay, the last one is a bit specific, but it makes the point well enough I think. Much like Hansen mocking Dixon for having the temerity to do some research on Hamsik in 2010 ("someone gave you him by the way").
And yet I would STILL pick simulcasts on BBC over ITV any day. That is how bad the situation is..!
Gary does know we did not play Wigan yesterday, what a tit.
I very rarely watch it these days. If our game sounds worth the watch I will record Football First. Well prepared for another embarrassing Euro 2012 package.
Apparently Pulis is on MOTD2 tonight, which is excellent.
BBC
Well i won't be watching england on BBC in the summer after this.
The most grating thing about it is that they wouldn't dare mock any other Premier League manager in the same way. Sure they might have a chuckle at something that has happened (like Fergie when Mike Phelan burst the balloon) but they wouldn't impersonate him or his mother tongue.
I always though Lineker was an alright guy. Now I think he's a spineless twat. That's following orders shit.
