BBC Football Focus to end

[Missplaced Childhood]

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

I record the EFL highlight show and MOTD and thats my Sunday morning viewing sorted, skip the adverts and any pundits/interviews.

 

[ivanthereasonable]

I only watch it if we win so I've hardly seen owt of it for yonks.

Chin up Wolfie. You will love winning games again next season.

 

[Ned Land]

You wouldn't have separate programmes for women's tennis or athletics.

What boxes are you thinking of?

The boxes that give jobs to people based on characteristics rather than talent.

 

[The Butcher]

Not everyone uses you tube etc for footy. I thought it was still worth watching but fast forward Alex Scott. I have always stuck up for BBC and license fee but cancelling these type shows i watch is making me change my mind now.

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 speak by now as well.

Tidied

 

[Scorer]

In a way it’s a shame but other than when we are on it I haven’t watched it for probably 25 years.

 

[Mackemansj1]

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

I was lucky to live just over the road to the Sol when it was first built. Remember my Saturday well, soccer am footy focus then out the front door and in my seat within ten mins. f***ing takes me hours to get there and back now

The boxes that give jobs to people based on characteristics rather than talent.

Such as the talentless Alan Shearer?

 

[BlackHoleSun]

Not that many years since I watched it every Saturday

Can't be arsed with woke debates and framing on every single thing. A black woman got the gig years ago. Right oh old lad, yawn

For me, more that can I watch a live game at 12.30 (lunchtime) thanks

Changing habits. Internet. Sky and pals.

BBC slowly recognising the new century, over a quarter of a century since the new century started

 

[Big Bellyingham]

And MOTD

What will people watch on their wedding night ?( those were the days!)

 

[Pepe]

Never watched for years. However it used to be a staple growing up.

The death knell was the way media is now absorbed and that dreadful no nowt they had presenting it. I can’t remember her name but she was dreadful.

 

[Lo Ursem]

Back in the sixties it was Sam Leitch. His words, in a short programme of about 15 or 20 minutes, meant everything to a football daft lad at junior school. Nowadays, more is a lot less.

 

[chriswallace85]

Shame, but then again I've never watched it in years.

 

[bobpc30]

Never watched it for years..

 

[tenpins]

It started to go down hill with Lineiker for me. Once he began bringing in the likes of Lawrence's , Shearer, Wright it was only going to end one way...I can't say I watch either for at least 10 years.

Makes no sense this bollocks but thanks anyway

 

[Brian Griffin]

Easy to sort of they just focused on the 10 hands most people actually cared about

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Soccer Saturday is good imo, especially the ones where they show all the goals as they go in.

Aye that's decent but your standard Saturday when they can't show anything is pants

 

[Sam Handwich]

Any self respecting footie fan is on the bus to town at half twelve on a Saturday

 

[Zen Den]

Some people (let's call them men) get offended by any mention of women's football despite it's increasing popularity and success.

They won’t be very happy about that, if I’m getting my pronouns correct, which I’m not.

 

[Wolte Presents]

The curse of Dan Walker strikes again
