Social Justice League Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 The BBC woke coverage of the world cup sickened me. On the very first day the opening ceremony was cancelled while those boring pr1cks on MOTD talked about how bad Qatar was for a fooking hour.

Maybe there're more importing things going on in the world than watching a bunch of mega rich entitled pricks kicking a cowskin sack around a field. Or you'd rather have your dumbed down bread a circuses. Good on the BBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmax2020 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Used to watch it religiously but not for a long time. The prem has been covered exclusively by BT Soorts and Sky for many years now, but you now have Amazon Prime in the mix. Wouldn’t surprise me if the BBC wanted to drop him and this was a decent excuse to do so. Sky/BT have far better pundits. Far more entertaining.

I doubt he's much of a draw these days, most of the audience is likely too young to even remember the 1986 and 1990 World Cups, and as a presenter he's nothing special. Unless they try to shoe-horn Alex Scott, or some other box ticking exercise, in his place, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Let me guess, as a football pundit he should never venture opinion outside the game? While his detractors can say whatever they like? "He should stick to football" says the bricklayer venturing an opinion on his right to have an opinion. STFU and suck it up. He is a sports commentator, not a presenter of the "Today" program. His opinion is just as valid as yours. Quit whinging because he is popular and your opinion isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Someone who had compassion and integrity . Played at the top of his sport , always the consummate professional. widely respected across the global football community . As a football fan and semi professional player in my past, I observe he hosted a program with whit , knowledge and great balance / objectivity . sorry he’s not your Daily Mail pin-up of hate and loathing . your story about the family exactly typifies why so many business and industries in the UK have failed to adapt to the modern era and w hardly have any factories left. Hardly a beacon for great model for business leadership . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maghull Mike Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Perhaps they should try:- He called himself “the only rat to join a sinking ship” and helped to boost ratings from 100,000 to 1.8 million. And Roland appeared on Good Morning Britain's predecessor Daybreak last year with Kate Garraway and Aled Jones to mark the 30th anniversary of morning shows on ITV Edited March 10, 2023 by Maghull Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spaniard Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Can real time football commentary be automated? For example, is AI now capable of convincingly simulating Saint & Greavsie? 🤔 Lineker? Overall, we have to say the boy done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
