BBC Football Focus to end

[Darlo1973]

Can you explain why and what exactly was “woke”?

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

Post #76.

Why not have a separate programme if there is demand for it?

Would you agree that some presenters are there to tick boxes?

Never watch it, but sure some who don't have sky do. As well as paying their license fee.

Stopped watching when Bob Wilson left.

Haha I’m the same, it was of certain era when you only got your info from papers and teletext, so seeing items on other teams were interesting, doesn’t really work nowadays

 

[The Warehouseman]

Haven’t watched it in years. I’m rarely home on a Saturday lunchtime.

 

[coldrife]

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

Not really. Got other things to do early evening, possibly the live game, pub, restaurant or even just cooking dinner and watching some shite with the family. Sure I’m not the only that finds late highlights a good fit ….mind still too much questionable ‘analysis’ provided by the likes of shearer et al

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

What boxes are you thinking of?

That is slightly different as in tennis both events are played at same venue and athletics the same, the women’s football highlights follow motd so it is a different programme

‘I saw a woman’

 

[Fact Hunt]

"Woke" is being aware of, and acting upon perceived OR actual racial, social, or cultural injustices or inconsistencies, including those of the past. Can be used as a positive or a negative term. One can be overly woke by taking diversity and inclusion too far, which is entirely possible.

Old Stella is definitely using the term negativity, he/she trys to drop in the term in his post as often as possible.

 

[Turner the Cat]

What's the world coming to. They'll be cancelling Saint & Greavsie next

 

[Safc98]

Almost like Alex Scott wasn’t the brilliant presenter the BBC thought she was

 

[T_Bone]

Instead of ending it, why not put it back to how it was when it was interesting and a success ?
Isn’t that allowed these days ?

 

[bunnyrabbit]

Haven't really watched it since Garth Crooks used to appear on it. He was brilliant.

 

[longers]

At least Alex Scott still has her career playing for Bournemouth.

Never watched it for years. Liked it as a kid but it's time has long gone.

Surprised it's lasted this long with the rise of social media and the overall saturation of football coverage these days. Wouldn't be surprised if Match of the Day is a goner by the end of the decade as well.

Rarely watch it even if we've won.

 

[ivanthereasonable]

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.

Nothing lasts forever. Most things have their time then gone. Must be 25-30 years since I watched it. They should have given Jeff Stelling a try.

Absolutely never watch it anyway

 

[ivanthereasonable]

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

Yep, I like Soccer Saturday. Especially if we are not playing, and if the mags are likely to get stuffed off a BIG CLUB.

 

[Mousehold Mackem]

When we win, and the mags lose, watching MOTD is class man.

Getting repetitive tho.
