Someone should ask Joey why he was such a schit football manager.

Robb asks lots of questions, that's good for a presenter.

Soccer Saturday died when technology made streaming 3pm kick offs more widely available. Its probably not really watched by anyone below a certain age.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also Twitter updates.

Why watch people poorly tell you about a goal when you can see the goal yourself 30 seconds after it happens.

Yeah that too.

I generally find that shows go past their sell by date as technology and culture move on. The people who struggle to move on with it then blame 'wokeness' (used to be political correctness) for the fact the show declines, starts to look dated due to low interest or is no longer shown.

A Question of Sport was an interesting one. They cancelled a Woman of age who knew a lot about sport, and replaced her with a middle aged white male who knows nothing about sport. Yet somehow that was claimed to be part of the woke agenda.

It was more of a dumbing down move to appeal to the Love Island crew. Turn it into A League of their Own or such. Then ironically the people that watch these shows are the ones who complain about woke agendas. They literally changed the show because you are an idiot sir and feed the demand for this shiiite.

It's a weird one cause I've noticed Sky are increasingly trying to appeal to the younger demographics by having more shows involving youtubers or other internet personalities, which makes sense to appeal to the new generation, but equally I'm not really sure how many 20 year old football fans tune into Sky Sports outside of games these days.

The only person I know who actually still watches Soccer Saturday is my partner's dad who's in his 70s.

TV is dying in generally. Young people mostly stream.

The changing of pundits on shows like Soccer Saturday is generally to try not to alienate younger generations. How many 20 years olds know who Charlie Nicholas, Tony Cottee, Phil Thompson, Matt Le Tissier etc are? After a while it just becomes an old boys club that doesn't attract a new audience.

They will have felt like they need to change it to freshen it up, but the format is dying anyway and they have probably left it too late to modify it.

the point that aluko is a crap pundit. Yes.
Everything else. No.

If you struggly with reading comprehension I can't help ya.

I'm sure sandy has made a good point once or twice on here...though im not sure on that one
----------------------------------------------------------------------
agree she is, but saying that applies to every female pundit and also comparing her to Fred West is bull
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree. Fred West was actually good at what he did. Very underrated serial killer - went undetected for over two decades by hiding by his image as the local simpleton and blackmailing the local plod. Makes the likes of Sutcliffe and Nilsen look like rank amateurs.

I nominate Robb to present Ja soccer Saturday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do me a favour. If I wanted to be subjected to a fat Australian gobsheite I’d watch ‘Neighbours: The Best of Lou Carpenter’ on YouTube.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well is there anyone else with a bit of charisma
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's Ricardo Quaresma...

One you'd be semi embarrassed pumping.

As opposed to embarrassed semi pumping though that would be more likely TBH

Whines about sexism - then makes a sexist ad hominem - quality. 😂

posted on 23/1/24

You know how people claim to "tell it how it is", like their views are factual and everyone else is just afraid to say it? Is it not a case that they are just too stupid to understand that that is still actually just how they see it, their view, like everyone else has a view? Imagine being so ignorant and arrogant that you believe that the way you see everything is factual.

I haven’t moaned about sexism once, but I suspect you do have a small d!ck.

I’ve seen numerous comments and threads on this subject. I had to listen to Clinton Morrison commentate this weekend, the guy can genuinely barely string a sentence together. Who fvcking cares? (Other than Joey Barton types?)

People are so desperate for attention that they cannot even do exactly what you are meant to do when someone else is desperate for attention and ignore them. The pundits on MOTD and elsewhere directly addressed Joey's comments on their shows just because of their own self importance, when if you have any basic understanding of these kind of issues then you don't give them any sort of attention. Everyone just narcissists.

Some lunatic mouthing off on the internet FFS.
