100 reasons why Match Of The Day has gone shit

The Beeb should snap up David Pleat.

A Pleat/Lawro commentary combo in time for the next world cup please.

Then I'll have to watch it on ITV
 
Watch the Big Match Revisited on ITV4 to see how football coverage should be done. A true gent, capable of seriousness or excitement when required, way better than any of the sensationalist dross BBC, ITV or especially Sky put out these days

:cool:
 
I've never understood why none of the major channel, the Beeb, ITV or even Sky, don't snap up James Richardson. His presentation of Gazetta in the 90s was legendary. I so wish Channel 4 would buck up it's ideas and bring their Football Italia coverage back - sack Alan Carr and drop Big Brother and that'll pay for it several times over.
 
I like gary lineker and alan shearer

alan hansen used to be good but he's gone a bit too happy now, it was much better when des was there cos he obviously hated des :D

the rest of them are rubbish, they should have more different guests on, eric cantona would be great,

Aye, he's the bollocks; Snappy one liners and a tidy beard.

He does that Friday football show on Setanta at the moment, but he'd be a natural for match of the day.

The Guardian podcasts are always a top listen too, especially after listening to those humourless po faced wankers on 5 live or TalkSport.

Seconded, thirded, fourthed and fifthed!

GOOOOOOOOOOLAZZZO!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly, except the bit about Talksport being humourless. Do you even listen to it? It's banter central and some of it is genuinely funny - Adrian Durham is a great windup merchant for example.

Setanta have him presenting their discussion programmes, he does a good job of trying to liven up the old ITV "Premiership Parliament" format on Monday nights, why they don't have him doing their live coverage instead of "More Beige than Steve Rider" Angus Scott I don't know.
 
Ideally I'd still like him back sipping coffee in a Milanese cafe on a Saturday morning. Apparently he only got the C4 job because he was the only person they could find who spoke Italian.

I find Stan Collymore, Alvin Martin and Ray Houghton as dull as dishwater. Micky Quinn can barely string a coherent sentence together and they've even got Jezza Kyle dishing out red hot football chat.

I enjoy the troll Parry though.

I can't for the life of me understand why they replaced Terry Christian with Collymore. He's so fucking dull.
 
That was a good fanzine when Eddie Alcorn was still editing it :)

Who is that?

I liked Collymore when he was on 5live. He's got a face for radio.

The number of you defending Lineker! If he was replaced, would the punning stop? That would do for Lawrenson and Shearer, reliant as they are on having their low wit spoon fed by the grinning twatter.

How's that? GL fucks off and takes them with him. It's for the greater good.

Look how much Stubbs hates Lawrenson:

Get him in!
 
Collymore.

Beat Ulrika up, played for L*verpool, F*rest and supports Glasgow Rangers.

I really should hate him, but for some reason, I don't.

Must be getting old/soft :mad:

A surprising decent commentator for all his faults,MOTD is just one big smuggathon,full of twats stating the bleedin obivious,afraid to critize any player except forigen ones.Dunphy,Brady and Giles shit all over them on RTE.
 
I find them funny. Not in the way that they intend to be funny, but funny nonetheless and so I enjoy watching them.

Truesay.

I only watch it for the actual football, the chat inbetween drives me up the wall most of the time -- especially when Lawrenson is around :mad:
But Lineker and Hanson also piss me off bigtime :(

Stubbs is much better though :)
 
The last World Cup was good, when they had Leonardo and Martin O'Neill. They both offered a different perspective.
