Disgraceful MOTD coverage

[north down blue]

Well said forever city. Just seen Goals on Sunday there and Sol Campbell and Paul I nce both said Vinny was trying to get out of the way of Cahills tackle, hadn't tried to do Cahill at all like Gollum Moyes said.

atleast goals on sunday is still good and un-baised.

Agreed. Players that actually played in the Premier League era and not the old dinosaurs on MOTD

''Lawro'' failed in management at Peterborough and Oxford ffs before they even invented football in '92. At that time Lineker was last seen playing for Nagoya Grampus Eight and that was about his level before he became a crisp salesman.

New blood is desperately needed on MOTD.

Is it on the IPlayer? I want to see it, but at 10:30 I was in Mary D's.

Average highlights are 6 minutes yet the awful punditry after is the same time if not longer..
Come on BBC,save yourself and licence payers money and get rid of these idiots..more football less chit chat.

The average MOTD programme is the hackneyed opening sequence, some cringeworthy comment from the crisp salesman, then telling us what they're going to be showing, then showing a few minutes of a game. Followed by some "specialist subject - the bleeding obvious" analysis (particularly if it involves "diabolical" defending) from a man who last kicked a ball over 20 years ago and doesn't have a single coaching badge. Then some witless, inarticulate comment from another of the same vintage who struggles to put a coherent sentence together but thinks he's somehow the funny member of the team nect to Hansen's straight man. Then the crisp salesman telling us again what we're going to see followed by the next match etc.

Sometime in the middle of that we'll get an advert for the Football League Show and the upcoming World Wheelchair Badminton Championships, which is about the only other sport the BBC shows, followed off by the last couple of games then another cringeworthy comment from the crisp salesman.

Desperately tired format that needs freshening up.

My little whinge to the bbc for what it's worth:

I was disappointed at the level of anti-city bias in your coverage of this game.
The pundits the BBC employs should provide a neutral point of view on the games but it is clear that some have an agenda against Manchester City in particular.
The post match comments concentrated on the alleged stamp by Kompany and completely failed to mention the repeated thuggishness of Everton or the fact they made no attempt to play football on the day. They even went as far as praising Everton's team performance. Had Everton been Italy and Man City been England do you think the comments would have been the same?
Thought not.
Sort it out because it's just not good enough.

Yours disappointedly

MOTD is so biased its untrue. They don't bother to show any of the filthy challenges that Everton do to us, yet accuse Kompanyo f stamping on Cahill when its Cahill who is lunging dangerously.

Lawro is like a senile old man who doesn't know the time of day and Hansen is a dinosaur. Time to get rid and bring in people who can do the job properly.

 

[Clevers]

Notwithstanding the uselessness of the pundits.

MOTD fails for me because it does not give a true picture of the game in its highlights, which surely should be their remit. However this is the BBC which continued to call the rioters in Tottenham protesters for several days when it become clear that they weren't.

They never let the truth get in the way of a story.
