MOTD

She must be the favourite to take over from Lineker. It’s too good an opportunity for the BBC PC brigade to pass up.

If nobody's watching, as it seems most of us aren't, does it really matter who presents it?

Just let the BBC feel all fuzzy and warm with their woke choice. Whoever they choose I wouldn't mind betting the viewing figures will collapse and they'll pull the plug in a relatively short time.

It’s needed to go the same way as Top of the Pops for years and take eastenders with it 😀

I'm not exactly an avid viewer but I have a mate who'll literally go home from the pub to watch it. It's kind of nice to have something like that in this day and age.

I used to watch Basil Brush and The Generation Game on a Saturday evening…..not sure I’d want to now though 😀

Well soon old Gary will be history- replaced by a woman of colour, probably lesbian, as a sign of the times.
Danny Murphy will be binned as well.

It was announced last month that Kelly Cates will be replacing Gary Lineker on MOTD.

I can remember when it was David Coleman on Match of the Day BBC at 10pm on a Saturday night and The Big Match ITV with Brian Moore and Jimmy Hill on Sunday at 2pm. And that was it for coverage.
Both programmes showed one game extended highlights and two games of short highlights. If Palace was ever on, it was a real treat.
Those were the days.

Yes, but you could still read all about it on Ceefax.....

Ceefax was a great loss. No better way to follow cricket before the internet came along.

Jimmy Hill replaced Coleman on MoTD followed by Des Lynam before Lineker. Commentators Kenneth Wolstenholme, Barry Davis, and John Motson (still the best). Those were the days for sure.

Des Lynam's place of residence is not too far removed from my abode.
He is in his 80s now.

not gargantuan is far too vague, give me a projectile - stone, spit or frisbee?
