BBC Football Focus to end

[Julio Mackemo]

Loved it growing up and till around five or so years ago. Just wasn’t the same for a while. Shame seeing all the good shows you watched for decades disappear.

Never been the same for years..... used to love it as a kid.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

The main thing for these shows is that you can get football news tailored for your club and the things you're interested in pretty much instantly, from anywhere, all of the time now. Plus, it was always a bit crap.

No, it will be because women got involved. The usual dribblers are never wrong

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Bring back Soccer AM...... can you imagine how sanitised it would be now

 

[Ned Land]

It is because the presenters are shite, including the women. Imho. And I have a 2:2 BSc (hons).

If there’s a live game on at dinnertime as there usually is it’s unlikely you’ll be watching FF unless there’s something on about your team or something that interests you.

In ye olden days though you’d watch and learn about other clubs because a) options were limited and b) the content was more informative and entertaining.

I would watch Trans World Sport and find the episodes interesting even if they were about obscure sports.

Get in, big loss to the big clubs and Al.

 

[carlos perky mackem]

Probably struggling to pay the bills as so many tight arses won’t pay the licence fee.

Yeah let's all pay the left wing pedophile bbc. Great idea.

 

[JJH]

No great loss tbf

Football Focus years ago was much more interesting as they would always have segments about lower league teams. These days it’s all PL and WPL with a major focus on the bigger teams. Watched it a few weeks ago for the first time in over a year and it was terrible. I thought Alex Scott would’ve learned to read an autocue by now as well.

Stopped watching when the public school boy types (Dan Walker etc) started presenting it. Thought it ended years ago tbh.

The highlight was Alex Scott not being able to say ‘Association’ as in SAFC.

She isn't the brightest button that's for sure.

You must be logged on to see media items

Another wasted opportunity
Show proper highlights and proper journalists doing stories (like Bob Wilson!)
Not all this chat about peoples feeling

 

[roppa]

It went a bit woke and boring didn’t it.

Agree with this except the “a bit” bit.

 

[ferryhill mackem]

I really don’t know why folk watch motd when you get goals and highlights thirty mins after the match has finished. Daft really.

I’m travelling back from the match and if it’s a home game I watch the half 5 game when I get in the house. If I’m not going out, I’ll watch the football league highlights at 9pm and then motd. If I go out or I’m travelling back from an away game then motd is on record and I watch it the next day and skip the interviews and analysis.

Not everyone needs to watch highlights instantly

Woke! First wimmin, now this.

 

[Squat]

Its definitely because of woke and nowt to do with everyone having all the world's entertainment in their pockets.

like TOTP and blockbuster, nowt to do with the changing world at all. having live matches on at noon had nowt to do with it either. or them having to make cutbacks.

The odd time I've watched it this season there have been more female pundits and reporters than male

women can talk about things like men, who knew.

 

[Stubbs ftm]

The Sunderland episode a few weeks ago was excellent

Probably the only time I've watched it in the last 10 years

 

[Woodman Boy]

I’d be surprised if the majority of the MOTD audience weren’t pensioners.

Highlights are uploaded around 30 mins after full time in all divisions now, so MOTD is a pointless watch at night nowadays.

Well Mr Weetabix Head will disagree as he will lose his £440k per year income if MOTD finishes.
