I am annoyed that Sky no longer show their post weekend football league show anymore. Far better than the fls and was on a reasonable time. Hopefully this will return
With a little inspiration and imagination, this show could be far more entertaining than match of the day which is always restricted by the limited number of games it can cover. My big tip would be to forget where you have put your best cameras and give the best games most air time, Dont bother with commentators going to games, use them in the studio on the best highlights. Try to get some real fan input on issues and rivalries - not inane texts - and add to the mix one or two opinionated pundits.

Did they not try to do that on Extra Time? The problem is always going to be that content about clubs below the league your team is in and outside the region your team plays in, holds little interest for viewers. And most fans are idiots (or would at least appear so with a camera pointed at them), with even less knowledge and perspective than the pundits that most folk love to hate. Stick a camera on Dave from Doncaster and ask him to explain his feelings about a rival club he'll probably a) mumble a lot of nonsense and b) swear. Alternatively he'll be a bit of a geek - cue widespread derision. I wonder if there might be an opportunity to do something a bit different though: the brilliant experts on the World Football Phone In or Football Weekly rarely get any telly time - could they do a job? Or, maybe local supporter-journalists like our own Kevin Nolan could give an interesting - and different - insight.
All thats needed is a simple show, a bit like Goals on Sunday but shorter............no bias, no "bigging-up" teams, just show the goals &any talking points from the games.
As the Championship is already catered for on the above programme then it could be limited to just Leagues 1 & 2.

Never mind.
According to the Telegraph
BBC keen to renew Football League highlights deal despite anger over lack of coverage in holiday period
The Football League is confident it can strike a new deal with the BBC to
televise match highlights on Saturday nights.
Drives me mad and ruins the Monday Night Club with his constant interuptions and banging on and on about "...being set-up properly"!!
And why is Claridge wearing lipstick?
