Football League Highlights move to Channel 5 (2 Viewers)

[skybluepm2]

From next season with a prime time slot. Never been much of a fan of the channel but all for it. Let's hope they don't follow the trend of always having us on last!

The best news is that we won't have to listen to bloody Manish, Claridge or Rosenoir. The most boring analyst trio in football history.

Totally agree the worry is they decide to employ that 3 plus that other clown that goes around the grounds (I have forgotten his name again)

I didn't think of that! I forgot about him, really annoying bald bloke with a goatee always trying to get hold of managers the second the whistle blows. Can't think of his name either, something weird. Len or something ha

That's the one, thanks ajs! Would've annoyed me all day.

Manish is terrible - monotone, always trips on his words and gets his facts wrong.

 

[Quball]

Oh boy look forward to the endless advert breaks then.

 

[Astute]

We are normally on towards the end because we are normally near the bottom of the table

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

At least it's on at a decent time,Normally fell asleep pissed by midnight !!!

I worry that the pundits may be worse on channel 5 I remember watching a European game on there and commentary and hosts were poor so bad I stopped watching the football games on c5. At least with the BBC they had no ads going to have to either skip through or watch the ads is a pain in itself. It's only a 90 min show with ads on top it's not going to be much coverage at all small highlights on the top of the table teams. We will hardly feature I feel... Having said all this I will still watch it as I enjoy watching the football league show hope they prove me wrong and it turns out to actually be decent.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I will record and then fast forward through the adverts and games that I am not interested in and then watch our 30 seconds.

Like the post hate the man!

He reminds me a bit of a bald Waggott

 

[RegTheDonk]

Decent time slot, though the amount of ads they bang in, how long will the programme actually last?

Nick - being a fan of big bother, do you think Channel 5 will spice it up with dramatic music when a goal goes in, flashbacks to "previous" games, and have geordie Marcus doing the commentary?

 

[The CableGuy]

Yep, at least with the Beeb it was over an hour's worth of coverage. With C5 it will be 60 minutes once the adverts are taken out. They'll struggle to show all the goals were gonna score.

I always get him confused with .....

Basically any bald person to be honest.

Had enough of watching our entire defence to be quite frank with you.

They should get that bloke who used to cover the Italian football on c4, he seemed to know what he was talking about.

They won't get any big brother voice over they will probably employ Michael Owen on the panel he is up there with the most boring pundit and commentator I've heard/seen

 

[Gosford Green]

The show will be on for at least 3 hours, adverts every 5 minutes and a quick 25 second blast at half time in each game covered.

The most monotone pundits only need apply.

Boy does his voice grate on BT

I actually thought BT got rid of him which makes me wonder IF his contract did finish at the end of the season could see him climb on board C5.

Ah I wasn't aware of that
Lets hope he doesn't rock up on this then

 

[wingy]

Is that the guy who fronted Sunday morning
Italian football on C4 many moons ago
Used to love that

Edit;-to CCFC4life

Actually come to think of it I would be surprised if Owen did jump on this as they normally get ex pros that have played in the championship etc so I think we might be safe be nice for an ex city player to jump on might get a bit more coverage on Coventry for a change.

 

[duffer]

It's hard to imagine anything worse than the current FL show on the beeb, but then I remember what ITV did to MoTD!

Still, at least we'll be rid of Clem (hopefully). Can we just have a show that focuses on the game, rather than the chit-chat, please...

As for all of this baldist stuff, I resemble those comments. I trust Nick is capturing IP addresses; SISU haven't had much work for their lawyers lately, maybe I can swing a deal...
