sharkyvilla Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Clive Tyldesley managed to get a black man and a white man mixed up last night when he credited Wayne Rooney with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal. He had to re record the commentary for the highlights package later in the evening. Prepare to shoot me down but to be fair Oxlade-Chamberlain is quite light-skinned and fairly stocky. I got mixed up a couple of times when Rooney went out to the right wing. Tyldsley is still pants, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 ITV are bidding for the Premier League highlights again according to the Guardian. I will pay as much for my TV License as is needed to keep MoTD around. Townsend's **** Tactics Truck, never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of government intervention for this sort of thing but I'll allow it here. For the good of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV have lost the fa cup coverage back to the BBC, there probably just chancing there arm at the BBC not having enough cash to get motd to go with it. In fairness, itv's model when they had the premiership to begin with looked good on paper, at 7.00 you could see all the goals and at 11pm you could tune in to see extended highlights. They just went about it the wrong way. Edited November 20, 2014 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 They've also lost the champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2014 If ITV get it I literally won't watch it. The Premiership was **** awful. MOTD, for all it's faults, is actually very good. It COULD be so much better. But compared to ITV's effort it is light years ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted November 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2014 I will never watch it if they get the rights again. It was shite last time and my dislike for their shitty channel has worsened x100 since they lost the rights. Adrian **** Chiles hosting too, Jesus. Hopefully the beeb get the England games back too.

Jimzk5 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If ITV do get the premier league its success will be down to getting rid of Chiles and Townsend and hiring pundits with decent standing in the game instead of mugs like robbie savage that the BBC push on us. MOTD is now something I sky+ and skim through to watch the goals, any decent views & reasoned punditry can be got from carragher & Neville on MNF.

Zatman Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 ITV do have some good pundits though Dixon, Keane, Strachan for example are better than what BBC normally use. Think if they got rid of the old times like Tydlesly, Chiles and Andy Townsend they be on their way forward 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Steve claridge just said, after Shaun Maloney hit the bar with a free kick and scored with a second free kick minutes later "he didn't need a second chance to score from there" He did Steve. He did need a second chance to score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the actual state of the highlights that was ITVs problem when they did it. An hour and 25 minutes of the United and Arsenal highlights, and then everybody else's games squeezed into the last 5 minutes. It was diabolical. And that's before you consider we'll have to listen to Chiles for an hour and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I don't really care who has which pundits, I'd just like the BBC to keep it to save us from ad breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yep the ads really were the most annoying aspect, I seem to recall them running ads during 'half time' of the highlights, it was extremely annoying. I'm sure they'll learn from 'The Premiership' experience in terms of pundit and highlights quality but they almost certainly can't give you highlights ad-free. IMO ITV are just an all round, shoddy, two-bit organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 they used to have a show on teh Monday night which I thought was much better. Might have been called Premiership 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
