BOF Posted April 26, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm glad the reaction in here to Stelling's outburst is the same as my own. I was beginning to think I was mad. Social meeja by and large thought it was great PASHUN and just Jeff being Jeff. I thought it was a terrible lack of judgement. Jeff you are the president of the club FFS*. You didn't even need to abuse your position as an extremely popular TV presenter to get your point across. You literally have every phone number of every person in power at Hartlepool, not to mention probably the use of any boardroom at Victoria Park where you might want to have a meeting about said manager. But no, you choose to mortify not only a fellow professional, but a colleague; someone on the payroll at your own club. It was the height of disrespect, and like those above, I must say Jeff has gone down in my estimation after that. Now what I WILL say is given the amount of talking Jeff has to do from one end of that show to the other, it's amazing he doesn't put his foot in it more often. So I'll give him this one as a suspended sentence. Don't do it again. Hopefully he watched it all back afterwards and regretted it on some level. Not that he'd ever admit that publically. Maybe he'll have learned something about his behaviour from it. Time will tell. If he does something similar again then we'll know he didn't. * I know he's not any more, but he was at the point of the rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 26, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2017 2 hours ago, villa4europe said: I didn't even know BT did a Saturday afternoon live scores show, who's on it? A summary for you mate. Think it's presented by Mark Pougatch, sometimes Matt Smith (no, not that one). Pundits I've seen on it include Paul Ince, John Hartson, Kevin Campbell, Dean Saunders, Jermaine Jenas, Howard Webb and a female player whose name I couldn't tell you. They mostly take a back seat to the aggressive flirting between Chris Sutton & Robbie Savage in their never ending battle of (t)wits. They only get live updates from commentators at premier league games. The biggest plus is the woman who provides an update on the football league scores is rather fetching. She doesn't seem to sit with the others which makes her more appealing. Otherwise it makes me nostalgic for the days of wasting my Saturday afternoon slowly watching the scores change on Ceefax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 That bT scores show is free to view and after watching this afternoon I see why, Robbie savage spends to entire show disagreeing with everyone, they occasionally go to graham poll in a different room which actually looks like he's on chat roulette and Chris Sutton sounds like he needs to speak to the Samaritans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's dreadful. They used to have Howard Webb on it who actually provided some decent insight. Pougers is the ultimate pro but Savage and Sutton are just uncontrollable bell ends. That said there aren't many pundits out there that I think are competent and I doubt they have any real media training before being thrust onto TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted May 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2017 He's not necessarily the worst but there's something really annoying about Steve McManaman. Currently watching the Juve - Monaco game, too, and he keeps mentioning how Monaco need to score 5 when they only need 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Sky apologizing for Spurs fan swearing in a song is pathetic and doubt any football fan is offended. Even worse Shreeves having a go at Fabregas when he cursed past 10pm the other night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
