Has anyone given a thought to registered blind people who need the commentators and the pundits ?
It doesn't seem right without the commentary even if it is often annoying.
who said that? lol. very good point that. even for un-registered blind folk.Has anyone given a thought to registered blind people who need the commentators and the pundits ?
No it not. You pay it because they say you mustBig thumbs down for me too.
Just got up early on Sunday to watch it ,,20 mins of silence ...may as well watched YouTube highlights last night.
Not what I pay my TV licence for BBC
Mark Chapman is excellent, I agree. I don't think he's "better" than GL though. They're both in their slightly different styles equally excellent is what I'd say - not quite in Des Lynham territory, but certainly not far off it.It doesn't seem right without the commentary even if it is often annoying. But, I think the amount of 'analysis' usually included is over the top and inevitably focuses more on the 'big 6' than other teams. They should increase the football content and cut down on the waffle.
As for Lineker, I don't think he's ever been that good at his job and he must wake up every morning and wonder how he's getting away with it. He's no loss at all in my opinion and if I were the BBC I'd jump on this opportunity to replace him. Mark Chapman is far superior in every way (and cheaper).
I reckon most of them listen to the radio rather than waiting up to listen to MOTD.Has anyone given a thought to registered blind people who need the commentators and the pundits ?
Weren’t there reports that is was Mark Chapman lined up? He now works for sky on the league cup.Anyone else think Lineker could end up being Jeff Stelling’s long term replacement on Sky Soccer Saturday?
Yes 5live had commentary on games.I reckon most of them listen to the radio rather than waiting up to listen to MOTD.
That was true but might have been just rumours.Weren’t there reports that is was Mark Chapman lined up? He now works for sky on the league cup.
Yeah, in the 60s/70s.One match great commentator and no pundit also black and white if I remember correctly
Are you thinking…Rylan? I don’t think he won.So if some had their way we'd have highlights with no commentary, presentation by a talent show winner, with punditry from a fan
Call me a sceptic but...

My wife actually who is registered blind and was the one who brought it to my attentionwho said that? lol. very good point that. even for un-registered blind folk.
You dont know that and you cant listen to most of the games either.I reckon most of them listen to the radio rather than waiting up to listen to MOTD.

Come to think of it Lineker looks like a Mod, definitely was never a Rocker , his ears would be like a wind break on a Norton, LOL,Mods banning any anti Lineker posts.
Don't be ridiculous. There's a Lineker thread in the politics section you can use to your hearts content. Its been made clear that to stay here/open this one needs to be about football and the Match of the Day format.Mods banning any anti Lineker posts.
Respectfully, on this occasion I would say the over zealous moderation is ridiculous. My comment that any show without Lineker is a bonus is relevant to the MOTD short show thread. You might be pro Gary Luvie Linekar, but others are not and would gladly see the back of him. Please tolerate opinions other than your own.Don't be ridiculous.

Well I'm definitely pro luvie Lineker and have also had my comments overzealously moderated (I used the exact same terminology in my riposte too), so at least the mods are consistent.Respectfully, on this occasion I would say the over zealous moderation is ridiculous.

My brother visiting from the US commented how he loves the MOTD format. They have comprehensive highlights in the peacock app but no analysis.Off course the show and football needs commentators , they can do away with the 'expert 'co commentator's who ruin it....but the reason I don't watch match of the day is there is too much punditory......last night showed exactly what it is....20 mins football ..that's all. . It's normally 40 mins of waffle on top....
Personally don't care what the likes of Lineker, shearer , wright and all the rabble on sky think ....if they knew what there were on about they would be involved in the game , instead of talking the easy option to 'talk' about it ..
Lineker returning this weekend.
Thank goodness for that.Lineker returning this weekend.
Let’s hope we want to watch it next Saturday nightThank goodness for that.
May I suggest you record it and FF through the talky bits. It's exactly the same thing.That’s a shame. I enjoyed it at the weekend without the experts telling me what they wanted me to believe rather than what I saw.
Agree. If people don't agree with the analysis, then who is stopping them? FWIW, I sometimes do, though not often, as I think the MOTD pundits generally know what they are talking about (unlike half-wits such as Paul Merson and Garth Crooks). I don't get this idea that it's a relief not to have to listen to 'expert' opinion, which seems the fashionable thing to say in so many contexts.My brother visiting from the US commented how he loves the MOTD format.

That's what MOTD is. Highlights and analysis. It always has been for as long as I remember. You may not like how the highlights are edited or that the punditry is often one eyed, but that's the format...
Change it and it's just another highlights show, but with shorter highlights. What's the point in that?
Balls. I am pro and I had a post deleted.Mods banning any anti Lineker posts.
