Haha every week we talk about how Shearer and co are going to shit on us and every week we get nothing but praise.


The question is who blinks first, us or them?
 
I do not watch this show anymore but i can tell from posts here they brought up Fernandinho. It was not in the box and not a total dive but maybe exaggerated and maybe not. However they did not mention the Lukaku kick out did they (again going off comments on here) A cynical man may say the standards for choosing what to view regarding "incidents" are not being observed evenly to all teams.

MOTD know full well if they raised the Lukaku issue the pressure to ban him would be large. This represents a not insignificant amount of influence they can have on events over a season. Influence a broadcaster should be very careful to avoid abusing. For that reason i feel the BBC should be hauled over the coals for stuff like this. You do not pick and choose what bits i see, you give us all the relevant info and let us make our own minds up. Not only that, what the rest of the world see's, governing body management types, reporter types that have the platform to send thousands into a seething mass of pitchforks demanding the powers that be do their job!

At least on Monday night footy and similar on BT they do talk about every point or at least give equal consideration now to whoever they are talking about (imo)

I would like very much to ask the editor and producer of the show and Linekar; what reasoning was applied to not showing and debating Lukaku's of the ball violent conduct. Then what reasoning was used to include Fernandino's incident? I can almost see the producer in my mind with his/her still mint knee length umbro jacket on the back of his/her chair deciding it would be best to gloss over Lukaku's incident. With eyes lighting up when there is a sniff we have a "meh" talking point. If it is not that then he/she has mates at utd and saw this as a small opportunity to help their cause. The final option is he is no good at his/her job. Either way the broadcasting standards of the show should be changed to a more even handed approach.

I do not even need a tin foil hat for that, it seems perfectly a reasonable explanation as any other, no chance they missed it so that doesn't wash. With so much money involved on so many variables i think it comes close to influence that needs a bit of organized legitimate oversight.

I does not bother me if they tut over us being naughty, if we have, or other teams. The BBC have a duty to give all teams equal consideration though regarding events like described in my post and others above. You can still have a fun, informal and relaxed entertaining show without cherry picking footage that could influence possible actions that can and do have far reaching effects.

I do not specifically care about the events we are talking about, it is the principle of a BBC highlight show using its editing as a tool either knowingly or not influencing authorities (largely indirectly) that affects real world events on the pitch. The power for some uppity editor and producer to get together and arbitrarily decide in a very real way what issues are worth talking about is not so bad, unless it can have tangible effects on a club or player such as this.

tl;dr Should the BBC have the power to pick and choose what offences are shown if it is going to influence the game to such a degree as a player/club getting a possible ban or other punishment?

BT were the ones with the two pundits saying they wanted us to lose a Champions League quarter final and semi final?

Possibly, it does not distract from my point that their analysis would be even enough to consider both noted incidents though, imo that is. They may even have just shrugged it off and hoped to move on. I think that Jake Humphrey's is decent enough to know people will of course be wanting to know their views on such stuff though and would at least note it to get a few words of the pundits.

For what it is worth their coverage of us this season has been a lot better i think, that has not alway's been the case. I am under no illusion Ferdinand and chums would do anything less that wet themselves with glee if we just lost a match, they would be smiling ear to ear.
