Everyone can watch the highlights almost immediately online. So the point of MOTD should be to offer something different. Not saying it's perfect (or close), but highlights only would be pretty pointless IMO.That's standard for the BBC. Doesn't matter what the sport is, and they don't have many these days, they fill the studio with ex-athletes aand ex-pros and make the assumption that they can fill the airwaves with verbiage that informs and educates the viewer, but it often turns into a cosy chat between themselves that would have bored the arse off Ena, Minnie 'n Martha in the snug!
Agree - it's becoming more of a coaching program than anything else.It’s no longer relevant, scrap it.
Far too much talk and too little football anyway.
When you think about it, how much have you ever learnt from an ex-pro's in depth analysis?That's standard for the BBC.

Ball - goal.....When you think about it, how much have you ever learnt from an ex-pro's in depth analysis?
Very little ,if anything. It's always interesting to see how successful these 'top' pros became as managers. It's often the journeymen in the game who make better managers. Guardiola is the obvious exception and I suppose Klopp, too, but the majoriy of ex-pros dive straight into punditry and presentation. They simply can't hack it as managers.When you think about it, how much have you ever learnt from an ex-pro's in depth analysis?
