MOTD Surreal Watchalong Thread
 

....

Starts at 10:20pm

im watching 10 years of Gogglebox

I just wanna see the shtshow of it tbh. My curiosity is getting the better of me.

im going to watch

for the lolz

Sue's not happy right now on the news

im watching

I know it's silly, but im really interested to see what it's like :laugh:

No MOTD song then

i actually quite like it :laugh:

Same lol

Cheeky

Is the crowd noise real?

It is in this game, i watched it live, well it sounds correct anyway

Peach

I have already watched all the goals on you tube ages ago so this is the same

Yep, and that's why its not working, for me.

The BBC should be really embarrassed about this.
This is more like an extended bit of the news.
Not programming.

MOTD should be on at 7pm

its stupid to have it on so late

zero reason now

Agree. This not what I pay my license fee for.

Then stop paying it. If you want change, that's the only way to get through to them.

For real? :laugh:

Yeah, why not? If everyone just stopped paying at will, and demanded a say, maybe they're listen! No?

Gary Lineker at home watching these highlights.

So much to unpack here. Mainly the 'demanded a say' bit. Not sure how, seeing as the fee is mandatory, but I'm sure you have an explanation.

Over to you.

I cant even remember what game we're on. This is awful. I can watch this on YouTube.

Im not arguing with you, i know we disagree on a lot of things in general. But you don't see my point?

If 5 million people just said "no" and didn't pay, what can the BBC do? Can't put them all in prison.

Do you not think the BBC in the way they force tax on people is draconian? I do.

You think the BBC are too right wing, from what i read in the GL thread, others think they're too "woke and left". Me? I just think they're a scam.

Give us a choice. Stop paying. Watch them shake it up.

Agree with most of this.

BBC like the NHS is a behemoth, its deeply flawed in its management but its an institution and here to stay.

Agreed.

Ridiculous

Yeah that was strange one. :shrug:

it's now on iplayer :laugh:

Just watching this they need to put this on BBC2 in the early evening say 8pm every Sat...they can continue with MOTD if thy want, I wonder if this is why they didn’t use the intro music, they might be considering it

I'm not sure who the pundits think they are, but I thought last night's MOTD was great without the inane rumbling of inarticulate ex-footballers.

No an
Audio Mixer
changes all.

It was awful.

You couldn't really follow the action with full knowing of who was in possession of the ball at times.
It was a mess.

I do think the analysis discussions go on a bit too much sometimes.
However this was a disaster.
Terrible.

It was like watching a totally inexperienced production trying something out.
Just really awful in my view.

The BBC could just terminate the contracts of all of them and employ a new bunch that will be all too willing to take their places. If it goes on past this weekend i can see that being what happens next

Surely you dont stand by this comment. It was awful. In the first game there was a VAR decision and it was unclear as to which team had got the decision.

Agree completely with this. Particularly the bit in bold. It was amateur hour and completely unacceptable given the mandatory license fee.

Dont spend my license money to give me something I can watch on YouTube for free.

I think the BBC may have inadvertently shot itself in the foot with their response.

After watching the sorry episode of MOTD put out last night I started to question how much BBC content do I consume for the mandatory license?

I don't watch Eastenders, I can get the news anytime, only things I watch 'live' are Sports, Only Connect, and Dragons Den. Everything else I record or watch on iplayer. Why do I have to pay this license fee, when I use so little of the service but if I don't pay I get threats of further action? Also, if I watch iplayer on a laptop, it's virtually impossible to know if I have a license or not.

This scandal has bought to life the inadequate scheduling of the BBC. If you look through the more obscure channels you will find good content but I'm talking about the mainstream channels and the flagship programmes. If the BBC was an optional paid subscription I'd almost certainly cancel it.
