Moan time. Apologies. Watched MOTD for the first time in years last night. Awful. Lineker is past it, Joe Hart was bloody awful just offering generic comments and no real insight for a man who has had such a decent career. Highlights were short and with no real depth. Analysis was terrible. Maybe we’ve been spoilt by the coverage Sky and TNT offer. At least Lawrenson and Crooks aren’t about anymore. As for Sky Sports. How many of their presenters and commentators pronounce ‘news’ as ‘nuuuuws’ in the yank style? Ugh. Then don’t get me started on the awful drones of Lee Hendrie, Clinton ‘from the hood’ Morrison, and the man who would thinks he’s better than he is; Mr Jamie Redknapp. Stick to advertising ‘sneakers’ to the American’s. Top it off with the man who talks for five minutes over a corner and adds nothing, Andy Hinchcliffe. Any additions? Any positives? 😄 Joe Hart did offer the comment on Ipswich last season, stating they were unbeaten all season at home in The Championship. I knew Leeds had won 3-4 at Portman Road, but checked to be sure. Not a great start, usual poor research on promoted clubs! |

I can't abide that mica RichardsMakes we want to turn the TV off Everytime I see him...you have to be coloured to be on TV nowadays...nothing to do with talent And before anyone cries racism...my fiance has brown skin I can't stand him as a football analyst, but I think he's funny AF on the League Of Their Own program. |

I think he was discussing the Luis Suarez/Evra incident and he was asked to comment on it, he condemned the racism but used the word 'coloured'. Remember watching it at the time and thinking, hmmm that's very clumsy. He didn't last long as a regular panel member after it. Nowadays you'll hear politicians and campaigners using the term 'persons of colour' to describe a black man or woman which apparently is acceptable and totally different to the word 'coloured'. He retired three years later in 2014. He did indeed. He packed it in because he suffered from really bad nerves |

Peter Drury. Mr Word Salad with extra feta. Keep it simple, crap the dictionary out mate. I’ve posted this before but Peter Drury’s insistence on shouting the name of the player taking a shot at the top of his voice is awful. I don't mind him in general but I've noticed this too - very annoying. Always emphasises the end of the name in the same manner too. Josh Kor-OMA! |

I think the ITV Football League Highlights programme is excellent. No unnecessary waffle, just quick coverage of all the goals in all three leagues. Watched it yesterday for the first time this season and thought it had gone backwards. Too many “commentaries” done pretending to be in real time. please back it in ,sounds awful.The BBC used that back in the 1980’s and it sounded crap then. As for the woman screaming at the top of her voice doing the Bromley game, made my ears bleed.I fast forwarded through MOTD and thought it would be impossible to get worse but it managed it by employing Joe Hart.Cannot fathom why he was there unless it was to make Lineker look better. |
