Popular Post Tonks55 Posted January 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 I sat up to gone midnight watching MOD (that's late for a pensioner), mouth watering at the prospect of their coverage of our game, having listened to their orgasmic commentary on a 15 year old Sunderland player who only managed a disallowed tap-in. What did I get? I had to wait until the very last game for 1 minutes coverage, with no mention of our promising youthful future! Disappointed or what!? 24 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 It’s the same with the BBC sport app. Had a link to highlights of goals from every game on the football page bar City. You had to go to the actual match report to see them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotD is interested in two things 1) PL clubs particularly the top ones. 2) Cup upsets. A Championship cup match like City v WBA would have been of no interest to the BBC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fair but at the same time we have an exceptional young talent who lit up the game yesterday and another young prospect getting his first goal indeed there were 2 at AG. Vs a yoyo side ie higher Championship and lower to middle PL, a side who many regular MOTD viewers would be familiar with. Said exceptional talent is being watched by many PL clubs and is an England U19 tournament winner. I'd say that's worthy of a bit more of a mention/coverage.

I’m sure that every City fan agrees with that Mr Popodopolous - however it’s the BBC producers that select which matches and that means the matches that’ll attract the most viewers.

Although public broadcasters and viewers...surely the idea of a license fee funded broadcaster means that pushing for viewers isn't the be all and end all, there's a balance I get that. By a bit more I mean maybe a few more clips, a little but of chat about the game at the end- hardly anything in the grand scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Championship cup match like City v WBA would have been of no interest to the BBC. To be fair, no matches between clubs from the same league is ever of much interest in the cup. They already play each other twice in the league, and with full strength teams too. The one good thing about the cup is the little guy competing with the big guy - AKA Urinal Football.

Unless, of course, they are both premier league teams. Then it is a case of a big guy competing with the even bigger guy or two big guys competing with each other.

I assume you are referring to the incident where he was cleared of any wrongdoing and had about 45 people present who could confirm he was acting in self defence! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
