Football League Tonight - Channel 5 - Saturday's 9pm

Talal

I wish they'd have carried on their "no mic" rule with Allen.

Hartleypete

What a crock of shit most unprofessional presentation I've seen makes BBC look like Oscar winners.

Addickted4life

Martin Allen asked to do commentary on the spot - ''what do you want me to say?''.

McBobbin

I did just find out during the fascinating Martin Allen segment that Barnet have players called gash and cocks

Surely the fact they are revealing the League 1 table before the Championship table should be ringing alarm bells in their heads? Idiots.

They've shown all the league 1 games hence showing the table, it is shoite though

Well that's what I am saying... Surely the fact they have shown all the League 1 games... But not all the Championship ones...

Clem_Snide

No tits, no talent, no point.

What an absolute pile of guff.

Talal

They're gonna show us next! Be grateful guys!

Elthamaddick

What a pile of shite, made for sky+ and a Sunday morning fast forward

Who the fuck is Adam Virgo???

hoof_it_up_to_benty

Absolutely shocking program - is it meant to be a joke?

In a way, if you're a lower league team, it's pretty crap waiting all programme for a snippet. I can see why they're trying to hold the audience all the way through for advertising by mixing it up, but it's pretty frustrating if you're at the end of the show, yet top(ish) of the league. Can't decide whether I dislike it or not as a format, more energy than bbc, poor quality, adverts, no in depth analysis...actually I've decided. I don't like it.

Sounds about right. Championship teams generally have bigger support so bigger percentage of the viewers maybe. Keep more viewers watching 'til the end for viewing figures and ad revenues.

The phrase "be careful what you wish for" seems very apt right now. I would call it car crash tv but ch5 probably already have a program like that.

They're preparing us for the later MOTD times

kentaddick

Hang on lads we can win a tenner on the health lottery. So worth being on channel 5

CAFCdamo

This overlaps MotD by 5 minutes, we will be on in that 5 minutes.

The football league show format was ok just needed better analysis and extended highlights. Not this omnishambles.

Mendonca In Asdas

I reckon we must have doubled channel 5's viewing figures tonight!


There's some kind of bleeding lottery going on!

Powell Is Pleasant

ffs, now they're showing the lottery. The same process, I assume, by which they chose what order to show the matches.

Callumcafc

I heard they base the running order on the Health Lottery draw... it's the only logical explanation.

Addickted4life

Maybe they'll draw the Charlton V QPR highlights out of the Lottery machine....

Higher chance of it being in there than on this show.

PragueAddick

Thanks for the advance warning, all. An hour of my life I won't lose.

That's why we are on last, so we have to sit through the whole thing and raise their advertising revenues

AFKABartram

Phew, thank god.

For one horror-filled moment coming away from a sun-kissed, smiling Valley, I thought 'what the hell are we going to moan about on CL tonight'

Thank you Channel 5 :-)

Kelly Dalglish also appears to have changed her name to avoid getting recognised!

I thought it was a cheap advert until I realised it was the actual draw

Charltonparklane

Bet SE7 ain't the postcode

Twat, wrong lottery, ignore

Huskaris

Should I bother buying a health lottery ticket every week going forward, or shall I bank on us drawing all our games 0-0 and therefore being shown first, or being relegated to League 1 and being top of the pecking order?

soapy_jones

So?

Do I delete from planner or what lads?

I think I already know the answer...

I'm having such fun ripping this calamity of a show. It's as bad as their international coverage in years gone by

To be fair to them, Boycott was quality on the cricket.

Don't mind her, knows the game and presents ok. The other guy and the general format is shocking though

Callumcafc

Bristol Rovers vs Northampton on now.

Never thought I'd hear a pundit... "Well, what do you want me to say?"
