Who gets Wark & Burley confused? (BBC) 12:00 - Jan 28 with 2215 viewsVanSaParody

You wouldn't have seen Motty make that mistake!
Having just played clips of the '78 Cup final, of Wark hitting the post twice & Burley forcing a great save from Jennings, with those two legends stood next to each other, BBC's pitch side presenter, to George Burley, said "John, how did you feel hitting the post?"

Warky had to point himself out, whilst the presenter seemed blissfully unaware!

Dear BBC, please employ a presenter with the ability to demonstrate the appropriate respect for history

Hello Mr Barton.

In all seriousness though, I watched those clips thinking they'd shown them deliberately to demonstrate us hitting the woodwork several times in the first half.

Poll: Who do you blame for our failure to progress?

Didn't she also refer to Wark as John HALL and the boy Burley as BRADLEY or is that just a malicious rumour going around!?

The lack of research from the BBC punditry really showed a lack of respect. I remember John Motson saying he had reams of notes and statistics for each game. I doubt yesterday’s lot had more than one side of A4.

Dreadful presenter.
Box ticking at its worst.
Probably because they cant afford to pay for a proper presenter.

This generation will apparently be the first in recorded history to have a reduced quality of life to the previous one, and this is one way that actually plays out.

motty would have probably not been as good on 2020s players though, which is the key requirement!

seriously though, how many under-30's not steeped in itfc knowledge would be able to tell these 2 ageing scotsmen apart, they've both changed a bit since the archive footage...

Most of them I imagine.

Alex Scott is excellent, her work in the build up with two strikers who aren't the most charismatic and Elokobi holding court was decent to watch.

Much better than four 50 year old blokes running through cliches and small talk, which is what a lot of coverage has often been reduced to.

I couldn't give a toss what she got in her GCSEs, or her colour or her gender, I'd rather have her on than Jake Humphreys et al. fawning over players and spitting his Tony Robbins inspired nonsense.

she's not as good as lineker, but that's why she's got the 12:30 game rather than the prem highlights! other than that she's pretty good, a million times better than your joey bartons

Alex Scott isn't great as a presenter or analyst, there are plenty of excellent female presenters though Kelly Cates probably being the pick of the bunch, male or female.

Lineker isn’t particularly good either. All that money to “umm” and “err” his way through a live broadcast. Gabby Logan is one of many who are easily better than him.

He’s too busy telling Jason Cundy that Mark Ashdon has had the Sir Alf and Sir Bobby statues torn down in an attempt to erase the past.
