In true spirit of the Ill faited tweet maybe we should be seeing how the Germans watch their Saturday/Sunday night football highlights show? |  |

I a ok eats flick through the pundits dissection of the game . It drives me nuts tbh . Over analysis of the game kills the game . Just watch it enjoy it and move on to the next hsve. Draw your own conclusions. |  |

I always watch it on catch up, and fast forward through the talking.
I’d prefer no crap talking |  |

It's weird, but, unexpectedly, I'm loving it - you can really hear the sounds of the match itself properly, like the thwack of the ball against the keeper's glove when they make a save. Makes it more of an "as if you were there" experience.
Once the novelty wears off I could change my mind tho. |  |

To be honest mate I'm enjoying this..
Think of the money saved.. |  | | |

...particularly for those that actually know a bit about football and don't need guiding through what's happening.
I imagine it's a tough watch for the armchair fans that don't know who the players are or what colour the teams play in. |  |

To be honest I would add some commentary and make it 45 minutes long and keep that format. I don’t need ‘pundits’ pouring over every decision and their tedious drivel between games. |  |

I sort of miss the odd "Oh, I say" but that was Motty and sadly we won't hear the like of him again. |  |

You do get the "significant looks" & body language between players, coaches & from the crowd much much better though, plus the "meaningful stills" (eg in the Leicester-Chelsea game there was a freeze on a Chelsea player who looked offside when one goal was scored (can't remember which one), & you can imagine a commentator saying something along the lines of "that looked as though it might have been offside but ...".
Top work by the camera people. [Post edited 11 Mar 2023 23:04]

I think the editors of the highlights chose different clips than they would have done if there was a commentator. Each game was a storyboard and the shots of managers were only of their frustration at a miss and no celebrations. | |

I quite like most pundits and I enjoy hearing what they have to say. In the main, those who say that know what’s going on haven’t a clue - they just think they look clever by saying that they do. |  | | |

In which case good editing too. The camera people would have known by k/o though what was going to happen, so I think they probably went out of their way to capture images that helped to point up the stories. | |

I really like match of the day, its the one program i'll religiously watch every week. I like Lineker and especially like Shearer and Wright.
I hope it doesn't change. |  | | |

The Linekar debacle aside I've long thought motd is another tired BBC relic they are too wedded to. Football consumption has changed, people want brief highlights and no analysis.
I don't need Shearer mansplaining if he thinks something is good tactically. |  |

Ah yes, I’m speaking specifically of in-match commentators, not the accompanying pundits | |

Loved it. Too much punditry and dissection. Pure football. If BBC own the rights to Mottys voice they could edit his words together to create a commentary? They did it on 30 Rock. Used Seinfeld’s voice to promote MILF Island😂 | | | |
