The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

[Ric]

For future reference but the whole format does need a revamp

Yeah, I agree. There’s very little insight from the current roster of pundits. There should be more match footage, and less punditry for a start. Anyone claiming that tonight’s show was better is being disingenuous though, imo.

 

[meltonblue]

So anybody who thinks it’s better is a Twitter bot?

That or they don’t understand some of the purpose of the programme and so are judging it purely on what they’d like to see themselves.

That’s ok to an extent, it’d make a lot more sense to question that of sky rather than the bbc though and misses the point of who it’s there for.

all such accounts are bots - but it suits the haters to quote them lol

 

[bluethrunthru]

Not quite true. Quite a lot of world feeds do this. For full matches too. I watch them over Sky and BT frequently.

That will be because they are not broadcast in English OR are a dodgy unauthorised link

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

when this starts lapping at the doorsteps of Sharp. Gibb and Davies you can bet they will be looking for a way out without looking like they have caved

They can each have the choice between a tantō or a revolver.

Hello good evening and bollocks

"For fucks sake Tom!"

 

[Metal Biker]

Do you mean EFL, because that's what ITV have the rights to or EPL for the World Feed?

Either way, I'm sure he and most other commentators would prefer working on the top English division to English viewers on the biggest English platform, which is the BBC.

Maybe the BBC will blink first but if not, then I wonder how long the likes of Wilson will be happy only having their voices heard by international viewers. I doubt any of them dreamed of being live on the USA Network over being on MOTD every Saturday.



They did have a table summary right at the end.

I mean a voiceover doing a summary of the table, who's moved up and down etc, rather than just the graphic on its own.

 

[arcademik70]

It's like a highlights package on one of those overseas channels during halftime.

They didn't even show the team sheets did they?

It was lazy tonight. But with a bit of creativity they could make a positive change in the way it's delivered.

 

[Kippax77]

So your actual issue is with whoever decided it was newsworthy too then surely? :)

yeah soz I meant EFL - work is work though why wouldn't they take it?

Looks like we can file MB with those people who " watched it tonight and thought it was the best" then reveal they clearly didn't lol

MOTD has had yearly increases in viewership every year for 13 years.

It doesn’t need another revamp (it went through one when they got rid of Hansen and Lawrensen). It’s incredibly popular.

But it is still a tired format even with the Female pundits in place.

There’s an ‘s’ on the end of sample.

I thought bots were supposed to tweet the same tweets?

So far tonight on this thread we’ve had anyone who prefers a different format to be a gammon, a bot and just wondering what the hat trick will be. A Tory perhaps?

Afraid that's not accurate either. Legit feed in English speaking countries.

 

[west didsblue]

Social media the number 1 cause

Social media is the enabler but it’s malign people with twisted agendas, including too many in positions of power, that are the cause.

Chuck in those that want to defund the BBC and those who are jealous of Linekar and co success

And all on the non-political, ‘ignoring the Lineker stuff’ thread.

They just can’t help themselves.

What you are overlooking is one of the reasons we have commentators and pundits is to make up for when there are poor games.

What happens when half of the games are bore draws and there's no other means of generating entertainment value?

At what point did I say "it was the best"?

I've said with a few tweaks (that I listed) this format could be better than the current one and I didn't miss the punditry.
You need to stop making shit up.
