[Race]

[Smithy]

WTF just went on! A film just came on half way through the highlights!

I know - a woman sitting on a toilet.

 

[Bernie The Bolt]

I thought thats what it was gonna be

 

[Evil Edna]

It was some film on itv! itv hackers scum!

 

[Slade's Head Polisher]

will that be on iPlayer or will it be shown at another date ?

 

[Evil Edna]

It will be on Iplayer not sure about the itv hacking bit though.

 

[Smithy]

will that be on iPlayer or will it be shown at another date ?

It's gonna be on iPlayer and the red button (if you have that facility).

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Taken as a whole ... a much better highlights show than ITV used to put on.

 

[Evil Edna]

No adds too

 

[Everest]

Rotherhams ground looked PACKED.

 

[Mendoza]

watching it now on iplayer

 

[Man of Harveys]

Just watched it on iPlayer, which is great in itself. All in all a very good, lengthy and non-patronising effort I reckon, put together by people who seemed to know a lot about the lower divisions.

Disliked: the gay bald guy acting the clown (for once not Ian Holloway). Irritating.
Liked: The cute little blonde with the emails whose POKIES were most enjoyable.

 

[Napper]

don't like the bald bloke doing the interviews , seemed a bit camp which doesnt really sit well on a football show...personal opinion , no need to get into a whole debate again ! (same as the women commentator in that respect)

Wow, I know Torquay's ground is a toilet, but that's ridiculous. Pretty decent show overall, but get rid of the emails please. Just utterly pointless.

 

[drew]

Surprised there wasn't a poll to establish what percentage of the MOTD budget was spent on the football league show. 0-2%, 3-5% and 5-10%. At least they don't show the score of the game before giving the highlights like those idiots at ITV used to do.

 

[Taybha]

didnt like anything about it and to headhunt that lady who read the matchday texts out on radio sussex last season is very un bbc.

 

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

Agree with the 'lose the emails' section comments. Afterall, who cares what the fans think...oh.

 

[beorhthelm]

they need to sort out the acoustics too, sound like they where in a large garage or something. its was ok, but you get the feeling a new team of probably quite young people involved as there was an air of work in progress about it all.

You get a feeling that's wrong then. The programme is made by IMG who, like everyone else in TV, draw on a relatively small pool of people that work across all sorts of channels' sports coverage - the majority of them experienced with a variety of broadcasters.

It's pretty much normal that a new show takes a few weeks to settle down and various ideas are tried and binned before everyone feels comfortable with it. Understandably, people always draw comparisons with existing successful shows - but they've had years to bed down.

Agree about the sound though, and that will be difficult if not impossible to sort out without using a different studio.
