Kimbo Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Jenas is so bland that I don’t think anything he says registers in my brain, so I don’t find it a hateful experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I think they should go the non-footballer route. Bring James Richardson back to our screens more regularly you cowards. Alex Scott is pretty shit on that quiz show she hosts tbh. Couldn't sound more robotic if she tried. I get that you have to start somewhere, but giving her the job wouldn't be because she's the best, most appropriate person for the role. I could actually see Ian Wright transitioning into the role, although you'd lose a bit from him in terms of analysis and #bantz If it must be a woman/female/non-penis, either Gabby Logan or Laura Woods could do the job, Hipgrave would be good if she sacks her fake accent off.

Alex Scott is clearly a very good egg but I don't think I've once seen her look at home when broadcasting. She just seems permanently awkward and constantly speaks like she's about to wet herself from laughing. Would be a terrible choice for MOTD. She's areet as a pundit. Obviously we don't like Jenas and he talks shit when it comes to us, but he looks like the natural successor to Lineker. I also don't mind him on comms.

The Prophet Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 There was a Belgium game that Jenas was on where he was banging on about a VAR decision that was clearly correct. He also spent a majority of the game insisting KdB is pushed up the pitch. Belgium pushed him up the pitch and he started commenting that he didn't have enough space. British football punditry has to be the worst punditry going. It's split between insipid and the dense. That's why anyone who's even half decent comes along is unjustifiably lauded, we're just starved of decent content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Said it so many times, for the elite national sport and the richest league in the world, the fact that broadcasters just continue to employ the same clueless shites is absolutely insane. I don't know if the producers don't know enough to choose, or if they think the audience aren't clever enough to know the difference. Either way it's very weird.

Unfortunately he isn't a big enough name, or even in the BBC ecosystem for the MOTD gig. I also feels like he is more at home when he has fellow footy journalists as pundits alongside him, rather than ex-pro's. That BT goals show is the best way to watch the CL group stage games when there's no standout match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I rarely actually watch it, more so record it and zip through it, skipping the pundits and interviews unless we've played well and they are praising us but its only our bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why the A-list pundits are so much more like characters these days. There's no need to sit through Match of the Day and the likes because you can get the precise thing you want almost instantly via social media. Got to make the studio drama unmissable too. Personally I much prefer the best bud stuff between Shearer and Wright than I do whatever confrontational episode (i.e. Keane and A.N. Other) Sky and ITV manufacture game to game.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Yeah, personally I don't really want either, I want deep tactical analysis. But like I said above, maybe producers (maybe rightly) judge that most viewers don't want that. I'm sure they're doing some kind of audience research.

It's basically reality TV. I would love to know what percentage of all programming, globally, is 'reality TV'. I assume it's the most common genre.

Similar sort of thing can happen online too tbh, look at something like The Kick Off who's main schtick is continually having "heated debates" between people who have differing opinions on various things, they regularly used to get 15 thousand concurrent viewers, and nearly 500k subscribers on YouTube. Whereas someone like James Allcot, who is very good at the tactical analysis, and offers insightful information about how different teams setup and why they may or may not succeed only gets on average a couple of hundred viewers when he live streams, and only has 200k subscriptions on Twitch. The average person just wants to be entertained, as apposed to having to think analytically tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
