Match of the day RIP

[Barneyrubble uk]

Watched match of the day last night , my god that programme has dropped it's standards over the last two years, The premier league went over to ITV for 3 seasons and it Was dreadful, games all over in 10 mins it came back to the BBC and i thought bout time, back where it belongs but after last night i'm in shock.
The wigan chelsea game was on for all of .............yes 10 minutes and loads happened czech got sent off would not leave the pitch but that wasnt shown at all. The rest of the games was just as bad liverpool, 7 goals in the game on for 6 mins
they used to show 2 main games bout 30 mins each then all other goals.
I look forward to match of the day every saturday but it's garbage (plus alan hansen one of the greatest ever defenders never EVER smiles)
The programme shows basically just the goals i'm sitting there how did that corner happen where did that chance/goal start from? UTTER RUBBISH
Anyone else feel the same or otherwise?

surprised you could see ya self the picture is attrocious also. now look you've got me ranting again

[metropolis]

i know what you mean about the picture.my seat is quite easy to spot if the camera angle is low looking up

Far too much analysis at the end of each game

OK it's not as bad as MOTD 2 (shirley more time spent discussing the game than watching it) but it's getting that way.

I'm starting to watch this on my Freeview box now, 20 mins behind real time.

By the time i've skipped most of the discussions, i've made up that 20 mins in the 80 odd minute programme

Was it just me or did anyone else find the picture keep breaking up last night? It kept stuttering and freezing and gave up after the Spurs game.

i dont mind the analysis but ALan Hansen? Bless him great player but my god he is BORING

I'll listen to Hansen all the bloody time, just please don't give us Garth Crooks.

If there is one pundit I would gladly shoot, it's him. His voice and patronising tone relly boils my ****.

I've got to watch final score with the sound muted otherwise I'll smash the telly.

Annoying lttle twerp.

Exaggerating every other word, you'll have to explain your reasoning, because you've lost me.

I think he means it's Crooks' style of over-emphasising and exagerating every other word that annoys him. It wasn't a dig at you.

Personally i don't mind either but Steve Claridge on The Football League show after MOTD that gets the award for most annoying TV pundit imo. He can't speak for more than three seconds without looking at his notes and seems to have an aversion to looking Manish Bhasin in the eye.
