[Football] Do you still watch MOTD?

[Easy 10]

I watch it live pretty much every week all the way through, with a bottle of red, whether we've won lost or drawn. I like rounding off Saturday night this way.

Guess I'm the weirdo here.

I tape it every episode (on that series thing), often start to watch it and fall asleep, and then maybe watch it back on a Sunday morning and occasionally fall asleep again. If I think I'm going to fall asleep I fast forward though all the 'analysis' stuff. Probably see between 30-80% of it

As if there was ever any doubt

Yes, I watch it - I often still consume TV in the traditional way. Shearer and Lineker annoy me though.

Sorry but any post you make without 'mincing', 'strippers', 'cockatiel' or varieties of pub based snacks is always a bit of a disappointment

 

[chickens]

Sometimes. Sometimes I’m tired and zzz before it’s on. I still tend to catch up with it on the Sunday morning though.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

More to the point, does anyone still watch MOTD without knowing the results for the games, and always look away when told to do so by the BBC News reader just before MOTD starts.


I haven't watched MOTD for years.

I only look away if its announced that Mrs Brown's Boys is on next

 

[Reddleman]

If we have won I watch it all, if we have drawn in a disappointing fashion I watch our game only, if we have lost I avoid the whole thing.

 

[Monkey Man]

If there was a full programme of games on a Saturday and no live matches to watch on Sky/TNT, MotD would again be required viewing.

These days it feels like what it is: a rather undercooked highlights show, on at a time of night when I'd rather be in bed or in the company of friends.

Regardless of the personnel or production quality, it's become marginalised by the glut of TV football that's on most days of the week.

I tend to watch MOTD on a Saturday, rarely watch MOTD 2 even if we played on the Sunday

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I still watch it, but fast forward to the Albion game. I like it.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Very rarely watch it nowadays.

Likewise

 

[ROSM]

I do - enjoy it. Kids will watch on Sunday morning. I try to watch Saturday night

Holds a happy place in our family. My eldest's 1st word was 'goal' watching Motd. He also used to lean on a poufe and dance to theme music

 

[seagullwedgee]

I record it, because I‘m always travelling home from our games, but never seem to watch it, always end up deleting it.

The theme music sends me to sleep, think it's deeply programmed into my brain from watching it late at night pre-teen. Neural programming or whatever. If I mute it, then Shearer does the job just as well.
Can't stand the non-playing bits of the highlights: extended shots of managers and their chewing gum, ugly spectators, slow motion replays of goal celebrations.

And as for the underlying music on the goal of the month section.....

Luckily we have fast forward.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Yes.

No.

 

[GT49er]

Yes.

 

[Bakero]

I like it. Tend to stick it on Sunday morning before going to play 5-a-side.
