MOTD thread

[SirHarryHotspur]

Fantastic news MOTD with the no after match post mortem , back to the days of Jimmy Hill , watch the highlights if you won the game great, if you lost there's always next week, none of the constant crap you hear these days.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

At last Match of the Day will be watchable again. I hope they never have Lineker and the "pundits" back. Ever.

 

[curlacious]

Would laugh if the commentators and camera staff refused to work.

Apparently the in-house commentators are discussing whether they want to do it or not

 

[dk-yid]

I'd just like to say that I won't be presenting the show tomorrow either.

I'm with you Nailsy. No chance that I'll show up.

 

[Yiddo100]

I think Tottenham should make a stand also and decide not to play, seems like that would be the sensible idea

We’ve done that most of the season. We wouldn’t notice the difference.

And they’ve also pulled out now too

 

[aliyid]

I think the whole league season should just be suspended. No champions, and reset from where the season started…. It’s the only fair option…

 

[Albertbarich]

This is al but silly.

The Tories are being exactly what you would expect, Lineker has done exactly what I'd expect and somehow it's all gone a bit mad.

Personally I'd like to suggest they use the world feed commentary with no pundits, sack Lineker and use his obscene salary to donate to refugees.

Does anyone at all watch Motd for the host or the pundits? Anyone? I mean I won't watch it at all if we lose but I can honestly say I don't and will never need any one of their opinions on a match they have watched highlights of.

I wonder if all the people refusing to provide their services are losing their pay for this weekend.

No probably not.

I don't watch motd because of the pretentious smug wankers that are all huddled around sucking each others cocks like some chummy 6th form wankfest.
Just show the football, fuck off with the politics and bullshit.

I was in the car when Jordan came on earlier and I couldn’t disagree with him, I actually think he needs to set up a political party as I’d vote the guy in, unfortunately it won’t happen though. https://talksport.com/football/1358389/gary-lineker-simon-jordan-bbc-motd/amp/

 

[EaMidSpurs]

No loss.

Most of them talk utter crap anyway.

Maybe the BBC can save the wages from all the pundits/commentators & take it off our licence fee?

Totally agree, I so wish we still had that optimistic rating!

 

[tototoner]

Own goal for the BBC

[MR_BEN]

No pundits, no commentators, no player interviews (who was going to interview them anyway?)…. Just need the production crew / editors to pull out now and there will be no show at all.

I hope this hurts the beeb in a big big way.

 

[Tucker]

A noble gesture, but none of the BBC commentators will be there to interview them anyway. The BBC will just use the main premier league feed that they sell to all the foreign broadcasters.

The BBC would have to make an agreement with the Premier League, and it’s pundits to be able to use the footage first.

many of those pundits are the same that work on the bbc, so may not be so simple.

I could see it literally just being highlights and nothing else - at best.

wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing got pulled.

I don’t think they’d need to agree anything with the individual commentators that the premier league employ.

Don’t the league provide the world feed to all broadcast partners? I doubt the premier league will want their coverage to be disrupted by this so they’ll be fine with it. I don’t see the programme being pulled.
