why no football league show tonight

[bixieupnorth]

motd on but no fl show, i thought they were contracted to show programme if there was a full match day??

[ferrarilover]

Nope, only Saturdays, apparently the FL can go **** itself. It seems that the inevitable half million salary that that useless Indian git robs from license fee payers isn't enough to convince him to do more than one day a week. Nice work if you can get it.

Only got the rights for Saturdays....they had this last christmas too, but the BBC don't renew the rights for a couple of seasons yet.

Same reason why they don't show it if there is a full programme of football on Tuesday nights

that would be no-one then.

Indian by race, not necessarily by nationality. That said, I'm now wondering if he might not be Pakistani. Regardless, he's a charmless nerk (name the character and much loved actor who played him).

The BBC does have a profensity of going over the top with ethnic minorities in jobs, look at all the newsreaders etc, theres a far greater proportion than there is in the population. Same goes for women doing the sport too, how many women (as a %) are there at football matches? Yet here in Gods Own County we haven't any blokes doing the round ups any more.
Got absolutely nothing agains't them, just wish the numbers were balanced and white men weren't positively discriminated agains't.

(Gets tin hat out......)

Agree entirely. That bloody woman they have doing some of the L2 commo these days who. Reads. Her. Script. As. If. There's. A. Full. Stop. Between. Each. Word is beyond useless.

I've just come back from The Reebok, and my immediate vicinity were one black bloke aged about 18/19, three women and about 40 white blokes/kids of varying ages, which I would say was about the norm at any Wednesday match. So surely the balance should be similar when it comes to footy reporting/punditry etc?

Just to add balance (pardon the pun) I wouldn't expect a bloke from Cudworth in Barnsley commentating on the Rhythmic Gymnastics!

And bang on cue, who is summarising the football on the BBC 10 O'Clock news? Some Asian bird who wouldn't be seen dead at a football match!
Makes my p1ss boil
