Channel 5 to show FL highlights next season; Saturday nights at 9pm

[LamieRobertson]

She is faf (fit as f***)

 

[LamieRobertson]

Virgo is the best thing on the show. Prefer the 9pm kick off too.

Don't like the people standing around.

Different people next week ..you might like them

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

One option is to record the show and watch it later- you can skip through all the adverts and bull[emoji90]

 

[Easy 10]

I had no idea what division I was watching half the time, absolutely all over the shop. And seriousy - if you're showing goals highlights, then just show the goals in the time-honoured fashion with a voiceover summarising it. Do NOT have Kelly and Adam with their ipads having a nice little chat about the frigging game while you're watching god-knows-who cross it in for so-and-so to score.

And who actually analyses and picks their way through league tables after ONE game ? Spinning the stupid bloody wooden thing round like its some "big reveal". It was laughably bad. Tragically awful. Beyond my wildest imagination at how poor a football highlights show could be. Utter, utter DRECK.

**** you BBC for dropping the Football League and leaving us stuck with this cuffing abortion.

Agree with all of that. Switched over to MOTD - they show actual proper highlights of games. Surely the Championship deserves that?

 

[Surrey_Albion]

that northern **** is a smug patronising prick!

 

[Rookie]

Cor it was bad. No flow to the program and no need for the crowd. Just show the goals, why is that difficult.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

That was shit, unwatchable actually. Apart from Claridge, the only thing wrong with the BBC show was the time slot.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Channel 5 seems to specialise in trash TV. This highlights show is true to form of the usual crap served up. Awful.

All those who slated Steve Claridge - This show proves the saying "careful what you wish for".

You didn't like it then?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Mind you, you can still get some stupid comments on motd and not just that prick from Chelsea. Commentator on Bournemouth game stating they can't compete with the others due to the small crowds. Some one needs to inform him that tv money pays for the Premiership not bums on seats

 

[Blackadder]

Forgot to record it. Just got in, Can't see it on 5 download (or whatever they call it) to download it.

 

[anygivensunday]

It's really, really simple. Show one/two main games. Then goals/incidents from the rest of the games in 2-3 minute segments. In league order. Done.
Why do they think people wanna see all this window dressing crap- audience, social media, talking heads, revolving tables.

Think yourself lucky.

 

[Blackadder]

Think yourself lucky.

Doesn't surprise me. Sounds like another move to commercial TV has really shagged it up again.

I used to really like the football league show on BBC,

If it's not broke don't fix it!

PS: The BBC did not "drop" the Football League Show. They were either outbid or could no longer afford the rights to the programme demanded by the Football League. The licence fee has been frozen since 2010 and the BBC has to pay for extra services like the World Service, rural broadband and local TV out of the £147.50 a year which means it has to be make difficult choices about what it does. And that includes paying for Steve Claridge. .

 

[Easy 10]

You didn't like it then?

Not keen.

I don't actually watch much telly, but the FLS was one of the few shows I'd generally tune in to or record. It wasn't perfect, but it was orderly and you knew we'd just get the final 20 seconds of the Championship segment each week. OK, fine. I can deal with that. I knew where I stood. Now its been replaced by this steaming pile of tramp-vomit, with a whole parade of podgy listless goons in replica shirts loafing around a bland studio with nothing else to do except wonder why Kelly Dalglish has got so fat, while some other complete nonentity of a presenter tries to "chummy" himself to some form of likeability, despite being crippled by the unavoidable fact that he has all the wit, charisma and football knowledge of a radish.

Well they did drop it in the sense they made a choice not to put their resources into it any more. Yes, the licence fee has been frozen but they could have chosen to keep spending on the FL show if they'd wanted to. But they'd have had to stop paying money for something else. Like Alan Yentob for instance.

Scrambling the divisions. An utterly POINTLESS studio audience. Vague remarks from the studio on SOME of the goal highlights, where they clearly don't even really know who they're watching. The league tables on spinning POLES for christs sake, I've not seen anything like that since about 1976. Virgo basically talking bollocks. They're all desperately clutching C5-branded iPads for no apparent reason. And then the absolute nadir at the end, where Reading have a shot that looked for all the world like it had gone in over the line off the underside of the bar. Any replay ? Any analysis ? Nope. They just go back to a grinning Kelly and whoever that other nonentity is (I honestly have no idea who he is). She says "oh that looked in didn't it ?". He replies "Dunno Kelly, we'll have to look at it again later. Anyway, that's it for this week...."

Oh my cuffing GOD this show is the absolute pits. Amateurish, cringeworthy JUNK. Its times like this you really do appreciate just how damn good the BBC are at this stuff.

Hard to disagree with any of that. It was a car crash put together by 12-year-olds apparently.

The one thing I don't mind is mixing up the divisions as they go through the games, there's no reason it has to be league by league. And great that it's on at 9.

But every other single aspect of it was terrible.

Don't beat about the bush, tell us what you really think,
