Johnnyp Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I know MOTD is like a quintessential part of British culture and it was huge growing up and the only way you could watch highlights, but i wouldn’t lose much sleep if it was ever pulled these days. For the last 3 years I’ve watched all the 3pm kick off highlights on a Saturday at around 6 on the sky sports app. Modern punditry is gash. The carragher, neville, Keane stuff is purely comedic tv. Doesn’t add value or make me think differently about the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2023 It's interesting than on Thursday he seemed to think it was sorted and he'd be presenting MOTD. Anyone else reckon after his direct spat with Braverman, when they got wind of this they intervened? What changes from discussions he clearly had with BBC management on Thursday to Friday?

Doesn’t add value or make me think differently about the game. I don't really watch MOTD for clever insights, though, I'm mostly just interested in their views around "controversial" decisions. I'm not fussed about the tactical analysis they do, but having likeable (OK, not Danny Murphy) people talking about football in an entertaining enough way is a good bit of fill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well paid pundit paid to talk bo**ocks on MOTD for sum total of 15 mins per week makes a comment on Twitter...... Meanwhile There is a war going on in Ukraine, people are struggling to pay for food and keep themselves warm in this Country, loads of other bad stuff going on and yet loads of people are getting hot and frothy about Lineker Even the BBC lead with the Lineker story this evening....I am sorry I really just dont get it...am I the only one ? No u ain't, but that's populist politics for u. What I can't believe is the lack of accountability when it come to Boris , £800k and the appointment of the head of the BBC, its unbelievable, are we all idiots? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'd love to be a fly on the wall at The BBC tonight. There will be firefighting meetings going on all over the shop. I bet you can't get a meeting room. Hopefully the bosses are comprehensively living it out through WhatsApp so when the unfair dismissal case comes in they can all be read out in court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chindie Posted March 10, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2023 The Beeb is also getting criticised after Fiona Bruce on the shit show that is QuestionTime attempted to defend Stanley Johnson and diminish domestic violence by stating he only broke his wife's nose once. There's a very clear agenda at the BBC. It used to just be the voice of 'the Establishment'. Over the last 10 years it's become the Tory propaganda agency. Nobody cared when their political news 'journalism' was openly partisan in the Corbyn years. Then the Brexit shitstorm got worse, and then COVID, and slowly people started to care that the gold standard of 'good' reporting was just cribbing Tory lines. And now we can see the rot runs very deep, deep enough that any criticism in any field of the organisation is verboten. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
