Tyldsley & Beglin

[dww]

Disagree mate.

The format of MOTD for example has changed for the worse IMO. Now you get every game with ****ty 5 minute ****e highlights. Before it used to be 2 main matches with decent 10-20 miute highlights of each match, then maybe a goals round up of the remaining games. Much better IMO.

But the old format was hopelessly biased towards the big clubs. I'm not saying it wasn't better in some ways but looking back the old footage and camera angles were crap comparatively for example and from my childhood I only ever remember seeing games with us, United and Spurs in which is hardly a decent perspective on the league.

I dunno i prefer the newer format personally.

I remember staying awake watching MOTD and we'd be on right at the end with a 30 second clip

On the whole though i don't really watch MOTD any more, i'll either have seen the match or watch extended highlights on SKY sunday morning.

That baton has been passed on to Arsenal now.

Nasser el Zhar anyone?

Not sure if it was the whole of the UK, but in the Channel Islands, ITV here went to an advert break, for 10 seconds and when they came back the blue****e had scored ?

I don't really think there was some halcyon days of great coverage. I just think that the 24 hour nature of game coverage has made things become more story orientated.

I think it is sad that in depth analysis and getting behind the headline is not given more effort. With all the time Sky for example give to football you would think they could have put together a package on zonal marking or got a single pundit with genuine experience to analyse the pros/cons.

I also wish freeview/satellite gave you the option of synced radio commentary.

Only the BBC offer that in big games i.e. summer tournaments, England games, FA Cup finals. 5 Live are far better with commentary than any of the television stations.

This is how our coverage would have been like with Alan Green commentating on Sunday's victory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLlGv0LDTFk

I think it happened everywhere mate, I was sat thinking ****ing penalties it is then, next thing an advert comes on for a few seconds then back to the bitters celebrating...great coverage!!

Beglin = Fail - One of the most bitterest ex reds I have had this misfortune of listening to.

The guy is a prick and makes Andy Gray look informed and bright

So true

The goal was staged I tell you. It was the moon landing all over again.

Can't say Tyldesley bothers me that much. At least he's enthusiastic. Beglin on the other hand is just plain crap.

I heard he commentates on MUtv.

Why don't the Beeb bid for Champions League games? Surely they would do a better job. It could be money problem.
