Mr. Bump 0 Posted July 29, 2009 http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/07_july/28/league.shtmlWell I''m sure they will do a better job than ITV. Will be available on iPlayer too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ndhscanary 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Can see them showing some descent sized highlights for the championship but probs short ones like ITV for league one and two. The thing that annoyed me with ITV that they always picked the featured match before hand so if it was a 0-0 with basically nothing happening they would still have it as featured game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,956 Posted July 29, 2009 Scariest thing for me on that preview piece was that Gabby Logan is replacing Ray Stubbs on Final Score. Hope this doesn''t mean the end of Ray on BBC. She is okay for links but the conversational aspects of her recent presenting are not up to the mark (apologies if that sounds sexist but it''s more an issue with Gabby herself than anything else). I''m sure if they are trying to broaden the appeal of the programme they could have gone somewhere else for a "fresh approach". There is no way for instance she could have handled Mark E Smith reading the scores out as well as Ray has done - his handling of the Darts is admirable too - as is the way he always keeps a straight face as Tranmere let in another goal. Can''t see Gabby disguising her bias over the Leeds results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus they got it on the red button until sunday lunch time, so you can go out on the booze sat night, cure your hangover and still watch it!!!

drunkunmunkey 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Also it said that the show will be shown at 11-10 on the saturday night.... what will happen once the Premiership starts and MOTD takes over that spot? Will there still be a Football League highlights show on the saturday night? Or am i confused and its on BBC2 anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Juler 211 Posted July 29, 2009 The BBC will still have MotD. With so few Premier League games now played on a Saturday, I''m guessing that MotD will start at 22:10 (after the news), and now last for just an hour. This will then lead directly into the Football League show at 23:10. Just guessing, but that''s my take... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC should do a much better quality job. Just a shame they don''t get to screen more live games. If the government had a backbone it would end Sky''s monopoly on our national game.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted July 29, 2009 ITV are rubbish but good old ''Aunty'' Beeb are only going to be patronising and push the Football League into a nice little corner, especially when they''ve still got MotD and The FA Cup.The trailer features a load of Football League mascots huddled around a guy in an office and then running down a road. No emphasis on the sport or the action, just the mascots, which I think is their overall take on the programme itself. Although maybe I''m just bitter that, surprise surprise, Captain Canary wasn''t one of them? Flashbacks of being ignored every Sunday on The Championship.At the end of the day, it''s all about Virgin Media Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
