I'm finding more and more that watching Match Of The Day seems very sterile these days. I think that's the right word to describe it, but I'll explain.
They seem to mute the crowd sound on a lot of games, this was most notable last night with the Arsenal v Spurs game and seems common for matches with that bloke commentating. It also sounds very obvious that the commentary has been dubbed on afterwards, with some of the commentators being far too clever about what's about to happen !

It also seems a touch strange that they don't offer MoTD on BBCHD either. The studio shots would be easy enough (just move the cameras over from Strictly Come Dancing!) and they could get the HD feed from Sky surely - yesterday, the Arsenal / Spurs and Middlesbrough / United games were both on Sky in HD. Just a thought.

Are you including MOTD2? I prefer that simply because I think Chiles is hilarious with what he comes out with and his whole demeanour

I've not watched MOTD2 for ages, so will record it tonight and have a look.

MOTD would be a whole lot better without Mark Lawrenson (is that how you spell it,I don't care anyway).He's a...add your own expletive!
And yes,I prefer MOTD2.

And yes,I prefer MOTD2. | Ditto. At least Adrian isn't afraid to ask awkward questions. Hence the 'pundits' are a little wary of him.
Frankly MOTD2 is getting less and less support though, so one wonders if it's days are numbered.
Agree totally John, MOTD is getting more and more sterile with glib statements, weedy jokes and the banter has all but dried up. I never though I'd miss the likes of JH, but..............
I think though, and Hansen was hinting at this last night, that the prem has become so all powerful, and the FA so weedy, that any criticism, no matter how justified is being frowned upon by the Clubs. They are effectively censoring anything that the pundits, in particular Hansen, says these days.
I think we shouldn't be blaming the Beeb, but the greedy bunch of bullies that are masquerading as football clubs these days. Just look at Sky. Their commentators are the biggest load of sycophants on Earth. Is that the way it's going to go? It seems the clubs, managers and the 'superstars', can't take criticism anymore. As a result of their, totally out of proportion, clout pundits are getting weedier and weedier.
Ian Holloway was right with his latest comments. The game is being ruined by greedy clubs, over-paid players and an FA and FIFA too corrupt to do anything about it. Greed, as he says, is killing the game.
Trouble is, the pundits are being gagged from saying it.............

It also seems that any criticism of managers leads them not to do the post match interview - that is an absolute disgrace. Fergie and Big Sam have decided from their ivory towers that they will not do interviews with the BBC after two documentaries in which each manager came in for some scrutiny.
Don't these people realise that the ordinary football fan in the street wants to hear what they've got to say and that MoTD is one such opportunity. The likes of Fergie and Sam should remember who pays their wages and to rise above who the broadcaster is and acknowledge who the message is going to - that's the most important thing and it seems the big boys are forgetting that these days.
Saw Ian Holloway this morning and he is spot on. Greed is killing the game.

Add Mourinho to that Abbey... remember when SKY highlighted Essiens tackle (against Liverpool, I think) and he was retrospectively banned... Mourinho blamed SKY for the ban and refused to give them interviews for ages.
Apart from the recent spat with Pardew, at least Wenger has always shown class even in adversity, in coming out and fronting up to the cameras.

imho Hansen is probably one of the best, if not the best, pundits on television. Shame everytime he so much as offer his honest opinion and criticise a team/player/manager, they go into a hissy fit... I'm sure I remember Big Sam, Fergie and Mourinho doing that with Hansen

I remember a certain famous scot denying he'd seen Molby dive (three times) in one game for three penalties.
Agree totally on Hansen. When he's allowed to be honest he really lays it one the line, in particular with regards defending. It's almost a pleasure when your defence is crap just to hear Hansens tearing them to bits!

Personally, I much prefer MOTD2, but I suppose anything is better than the rights going to ITV surely lol. Please not another "The Premiership".

He goes off on tanegntial threads, fills his commentary with useless trivia and rarely gives any sort of decent insight into the game. And yet he always hogs the big matches for the BBC. No wonder poor Barry Davies quit commentating in disgust.
