VillaChris Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Andy Gray was a very good pundit and analysis when he worked on Sky I thought before the sexist issue, bit too critical of referees but him and Martin Tyler were a very good combination. Can't stand Platt but he rarely appears nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with this, although I'd also add that most pundits don't really get much chance not to be shit on British TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The national media really don't have a clue about us... John Hartson on Talksport this morning. Said he doesn't see us going down but us as fans must be disappointed that we have sold Clark and Sinclair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted August 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2016 Both the BBC and Sky reported that James Chester could not play this weekend. Yet both Wyness and the official club feed have stated that he can because he was registered in time. Can anybody explain to me what the point of our media is these days? At least Dr Tony seems to be on a one-man mission to expose every made-up story they concoct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 They really are full of shit aren't they? Just watching Final Score and that bald squeaky guy was going on about how we pursued Pearson but Derby "nicked him". I'm pretty sure it was a case of Xia not fancying him much and going for Di Matteo instead. Clueless words removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show is utterly appalling. I mean people used to moan about MOTD but that looks like a multi Oscar winning Hollywood blockbuster compared to this. They don't give any game more than a minute or two. It's like being last on MOTD when you are the feature game. I guess this is the problem with a 1hr show filled with adverts to cover 20 odd games. Pundits are dreadful, really really bad. I used to quite like the BBC football league coverage with Manish. They have sold their souls for a few extra quid from channel 5 but cheapened their brand.

VillaChris Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What you have to remember is they have 90 mins to show 36 games across three divisions....MOTD have 90 mins to show 6/7 games. It does itsjob...you have to remember BBC used to have Claridge as a main pundit who is awful and can barely string a sentence together. It's not a huge amount different to what the BBC put out bar the adverts....One main game, another game that Sky showed with extended highlights and then the rest of games averaging a minute.

Exactly, and whilst the overall production value of the show may be poor, at least we're going to get decent highlights of the majority of games this season. Its crap but at least it exists and I'm grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The irony this season is that we'll win far more and score far more yet probably still see shorter highlights than we did even last season when we were on MotD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The football league website does longer highlights I think of non tv matches.... Follow Walsall so they usually get 30 seconds-1 min on Channel 5 but usually there's a video posted a day or two later about 2-3 mins of the game. We'll be on Sky plenty of times this season, I'm not too worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 5 are dismal, and everything they touch turns to shit. It was crap when Richard Desmond had it, and used the same single-minded dedication to quality that he has displayed in his years of ownership of the Daily Express to drag it firmly into the shit, and Viacom have done nothing to change that, nor will they. We're talking about a channel that is literally following highlights of the cricket today, with, at 8 o'clock on a Sunday evening, a show called 'Monkeys Make You Laugh Out Loud'. At least in the Dawn Airey era of 'films, football and ****' football was center stage. And there's more artistic merit in Shannon Whirry's tits than there is viral videos of monkeys, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I have nostalgic memories of their Uefa cup productions... In fairness they gave good coverage of us last time we had a proper Uefa cup run in 08/09 pretty much all our games that season they covered including qualifiers.

StanBalaban Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 One game into the Premier League, and the Ibrahimovic fapping from the commentator is already grinding my gears. And call him Ibrahimovic and not Zlatan please, unless you plan to call all players solely by their first names. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
