The only time BBC has shown any interest in 3rd and 4th tier football clubs is when there's a chance of us being humiliated by a non league one in the Cup. It's fun to see them suffer in my opinion. Pretty much every Season then.

What id give for Rovers to be part of a rubbish 20 min highlight reel on MOTD I thought it was brilliant. I don’t watch MOTD normally but watched last night and bar the missing commentary and theme music I’d much prefer a show like that. I think the L1 and L2 parts of the football league coverage always strike a good balance. Do we really need to watch players move in slow motion and have has beens draw circles around players and criticise them for standing half a yard out of position? Take out the rubbish chat and you could have a single show for all the leagues. I mean you can literally watch just highlights on the internet. Part of the USP of MOTD, FL highlights is the fact there is analysis

Pretty much every Season then. I can remember the days when the BBC were compelled to show a limited number of Div 2/3/4 games (a very limited number!). This was done grudgingly. They've always had an obsession with the First Division /Premiership.

Great chance for the BBC to bring in all female presenters God forbid - the pitch of some of their voices is like running fingernails down a blackboard. Clare Balding is head and shoulders above a lot of them, an absolute professional. Also Sue Barker, who was jettisoned due to her age.

Hi Socrates, to put it in a nutshell, Linekar imo is a hypocrite which isint unusual in people with ‘power’ 🤔 He didn’t put his money where is mouth was over the Qatar WC- why not pull out of it altogether if he felt so strongly ! 💰 💰💰 To be fair, he did speak out about the human rights, or lack of, issue in Qatar, and to be honest, in my opinion, we should have backed out of that tournement. Strangely he didn't mention the deal he previously had with their State broadcaster to front the Champions League coverage for 4 seasons. Over £1.5 million in his bank account for that gig.

Watched some of MOTD this morning, did not miss pundits or commentary, Beeb could save a fortune going down this route and a lot of 'experts' will be looking for new positions!

What a load of cods wallop. I just watched “MOTD2” and it was dull without commentary or pundits.
I can only assume all you people who say they prefer it without also prefer newspapers to just print photographs and scores?
Whole situation sums up the pathetic state of affairs we have in this country currently - an absolute shambles.

Can you say what they are? The Home Secretary struggles. She's clearly can't use Google then: "The UK currently operates several safe and legal immigration routes: The UK Resettlement Scheme, Community Sponsorship, and the Mandate Scheme are refugee resettlement programmes. Refugee family reunion visas are available to people who were immediate relatives of people granted refuge in the UK, before they left their country of origin (known as pre-flight relatives). Nationality-specific bespoke immigration routes are available to some Afghans, Ukrainians, and people from Hong Kong." Around 100K immigrants were apparently successful last year. From memory she was specifically asked about asylum seekers rather than immigration per se. You cannot apply for asylum in the UK from another country. The new bill states that anyone coming to the UK by one of the boats cannot apply for asylum. Two thirds of the people who arrived in small boats last year were eligible for asylum. So, what are the legal routes to claim asylum in the UK? ""Apart from a limited number of Afghans, Ukrainians and people from Hong Kong, there is no legal route for asylum seekers. "There is no visa application to seek asylum but the government requires that any asylum claim has to be made from inside the UK. "So people have to rely on people smugglers to get to the UK so they can claim asylum." As an example, he adds: "If you're Iranian and at risk of a government that is doing atrocious things to large numbers of its people and want to seek asylum in the UK - you can't make an asylum claim. "You can apply for a visa to work or study here. But if the person dealing with your application suspects the reason you're applying is because you're seeking asylum, your claim will be rejected."

To round things off nicely, leaving the politics aside, and knowing how this forum just loves a poll could one of you clever ones run a poll on the future direction of M.O.D? EG Has M.O.D. RUN It's course and time to bin, saving millions in pundit wages, do you want a return to the status quo with full pundit and commentary, is it just as watchable and enjoyable without pundits and commentary? or questions to that affect, thank you in anticipation!!
