    Can i suggest we all watch via a indirect link pls?

    As in not on bbc one or i player.

    We can start a TV dinner revolution and break them as a nazi/tory party propaganda machine.

    I'll watch it in the morning and hopefully it'll be back to normal.

    I'm sure this is how they use to show the EFL highlights, which I've not watched in a long while.

    About right for the current MOTD, they spend half the time talking bollocks.

    It used to have a couple of feature matches with 15ish mins. I think? Didn't they?

    And that was when all the games were on Saturday.

    Genuinely, am I imagining that it actually used to be good?

    It was but if you were a fan of a lesser team (, like me) you normally got the few minute segment at the end, Sky have 30 minute highlights of every game right through the night, I would normally record it and watch that and the morning MOTD when Newcastle win, lovely start of the day if I don't mind saying.

    EFL is even worse

    Watched it once this year 32 games in a 90 min programme with adverts and inane babble you get about 90 seconds per game

    Last couple of seasons Gazza and his mates have chuckled knowingly to themselves while sticking United on at the end, because they knew it kept people watching, while cash cow United were ****e under the likes of Solskjaer.

    Well you know what, the BBC can **** right off.

    They've made MOTD so bad as to be borderline unwatchable.

    As you say, can catch games on Sky, BT, or by actually going without the tripe BBC serves up.

    Match of the day is probably dead after this saga.

    I remember that, it was so bad. Hated the adverts too.

    U2 did the theme song didn’t they.

    Beautiful Day ... although Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For might have been more apt until it finally found it's way home to (BBC) One ... thank you and goodnight .. <laugh>

    There were games that were longer than others.
    Haven't watched SS on Sunday for a while.

    Do they still do Goals on Sunday... and The Sunday Supplement where all the sports hacks talk as much ****e as the pundits?

    Presenters, pundits and commentators are all not needed in football, not on TV anyway, no one gives a **** what they think, they are all stealing a wage.

    Just show the action you bellends.

    The only need for commentary is radio when you can't see what's happening.
