Hardly any football on Saturday afternoons these days.

Haven't watched it in about 3 years, they started overdoing the shouting/gags by the end esp the Kamara gags
But I can only imagine the utterly dumbed down, politically motivated tripe they produce now  |

But it was a must watch back in the mid 2000s personally
Sat there with my accum slips from the William Hill bookies down the road, I'd go and buy my drinks and nip in to put my bets on around 12, go a run, cool and then watch that for the footy at 3 Miss those days |

so nobody knows who the pundits were then

twas Merse Johnson and Sherwood who came out with classics like Hoddle and Gascoigne wudnt get in todays Spurs team as well as the double act of "comedian" Tom Allan with the openly gay reporter at the Charlton game - no doubt in support of Rainbow Laces week - twas and is a tough watch these days even if just flicking in and out of it

Gascoigne wouldn't get in the Spurs team? nothing like talking down naturally gifted English players eh
Although I still struggle to forgive that 96 miss V Germany, if only he was a kebab lighter |

Had to put BT on with the debacle at Charlton.....should have known what was coming when the "double act" interviewed Lee Bowyer pre game and asked "are you gunna play a rough diamond with one in the hole" s**** s****.....made me feel poorly

The.newly appointed token over 60 white male Tony Pulis lasted for less than 2 months as a Sky pundit before leaving to take Sheffield Wednesday to the promised land of League One.

Was always a must watch, sadly gone to pot, they have employed people because of their race and gender, not their ability to make the show work, its a fooking scandal but no suprise, Sue Smith? Shocking on every count, sums up the koonts at Sky
|
|
By:
Same at the BBC though
And Micah Ricahards is a nice fellow don't get me wrong, would be a laugh to have a pint with but... good grief is the only phrase to sum him as an "expert pundit". |

State of the world now.
No one gets the job cos of their ability. We moan about the majority are on there because of what they look like. But one of the worst there has ever been is still there each week, Paul Merson. The worst live match analysist ever. But we/ they all know what would happen to him if he lost this gig...... |
|
By:
And looking back, how good were Le Tiss, Tommo and Champagne Charlie compared to the shower we have now.
Jeff must wonder where it all went wrong.. |
|
By:
I wonder how the viewing figures are compared to last season. The pair at the charlton match today were cringeworthy every time they went for an update
I think Jeff will be away soon |

Come gather 'round, people
Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' And you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' |
|
By:
I always thought Merson was given a job beacuse they felt sorry for him ...he was a terrible pundit and a bad watch .
Le Tiss ,Thompson and Charlie were all OK some black pundits are really good ,others OK ,some are terrible ...but every company/organisation now has to hire them in numbers to fit the criteria ... every single advert has a token black guy ...it's all a bit cringeworthy really |
|
By:
but then again , Eastenders and Fools and Horses and others were very seriously under numbered back in the day with far too many white faces ,even during crowd and market scenes ...that was bad too
the directors obviously didn't have a clue |

It's affirmative action.

BBC sport presenter Jacqui Oatley hits out at 'football's a man's game' letter in Sheffield Star BBC sport presenter Jacqui Oatley MBE has criticised a Sheffield Star reader who described football as a 'man's game' in a letter to the paper. By The Newsroom Saturday, 13th January 2018, 1:57 pm Updated Saturday, 13th January 2018, 2:00 pm Jacqui Oatley. Jacqui Oatley. The journalist and Women in Football ambassador spoke out after Ken Tomlinson bemoaned the number of female presenters and reporters covering football matches. In the letter, published in today's Sheffield Star, Mr Tomlinson told how he used to enjoy watching Final Score on the BBC but now gives it a miss "because it irritates me to listen to reporting coming from around the grounds by at least, on some occasions, as many as six women reporters." Elsewhere, he said: "Even in the studio they do punditry. You can see the male pundits ill at ease. They don’t sound right and put it over like the men. Sign up to our daily newsletter Enter your email "The Premier League and other major games sell globally, and the BBC have some very good men commentators who sell the game. Put a woman behind the microphone and it’s killed it stone dead. "It’s a man’s game." But mum-of-two Jacqui,who in 2007 became the first female commentator on BBC1’s Match of the Day, has had her say on the matter by posting to more than 128, 000 followers on Twitter. With a touch of sarcasm, she said: "Dear Ken, terribly sorry to ruin your afternoon but there will be four female reporters out of 20 on Final Score today, including Sue Smith with 93 England caps, but, thankfully for you, none are in the studio. "So enjoy Radio Sheffield. Love, Jacqui x P.S. most of your facts are incorrect." The row has caused a storm on Twitter and had been liked more than 1300 times, with over 400 retweets. Some questioned The Star's decision to publish the letter, but Jacqui herself said she agreed that it should have been printed to protect "freedom of speech." Ken's letter in full There’s nothing quite like relaxing on a late Saturday afternoon with a beer or a cuppa and watching Final Score on the BBC. But I give it a miss now because it irritates me to listen to reporting coming from around the grounds by at least, on some occasions, as many as six women reporters. Even in the studio they do punditry. You can see the male pundits ill at ease. They don’t sound right and put it over like the men. I’m sure many more that watch it feel likewise. I remember several years ago when, I think it was Des Lynam on Match of the Day, and a match was commentated on for the first and only time by a woman. It made headlines next day because everyone had switched off! The Premier league and other major games sell globally, and the BBC have some very good men commentators who sell the game. Put a woman behind the microphone and it’s killed it stone dead. If women want to commentate, report or be a pundit or presenter that’s fine, but in your own sport It’s a man’s game, that girl linesman didn’t last long, we don’t have them as referees, do we? It’s not a unisex team playing. So bye bye BBC one and Five Live and hello Radio Sheffield and Andy Giddings and Rob Staton. Ken Tomlinson Most Popular 1. tar-439374. |

Jesus, how did this country end up with the post-war generation being a bunch of such pathetic, whimpering snowflakes.
C'mon lads, grow a pair. Suck it up. You can't have everything your own way and whingeing about it online 24 hours a day isn't going to change it. Maybe just get over it and accept there are women and - gulp - non-white people who may be able to do the job of sitting in the stands and describing what's happening on the pitch below. |

By:
Na never happen.
|
|
By:
some of the women are OK and some of the men are poor ...it's a non issue . It's like the black debate again isn't it ?
the only problem i have if a woman has a too high pitched voice ...that's not good , and i'm not keen on very strong regional accents from blokes or women ...it grates |
|
By:
If i ever listen to radio i love listening to John Murray ,a slight north east accent and first class reporting of the game .

What's your thoughts on Steve Bunce
 |
|
By:
 |
|
By:
too much like Danny Baker
 |
|
By:
there could be a very long list
|
|
By:
I am a Bunce fan. His enthusiasm for his sport(I think it's probably the dirtiest i.e most corrupt sport of all)is infectious plus he's got endless stories to tell.

MOTDx is the best football program. The pundits and guest are excellent.
