New Football League highlights Show

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Those highlights didn't last 45 seconds, just fiick off C5 and give the highlight rights back to someone who knows what they are doing.

How can they focus on nothing games like Burnley v Rotherham and Leeds vs Birmingham and not a six-pointer top of the table clash?

[CountryRoyal]

I didn't watch it because... well it's shit, but the "in depth" analysis is only really available to the featured televised games for which there are extended highlights. All the rest are the fl highlight clips so they are restrained in that regard. It's not to say they couldn't talk about its significance more, they could, but it's such an amateur shower of shite production that it really shouldnt even surprise people when they miss the mark of anything people want.

I doubt they choose their featured matches to send all the extra film crew to on the week of the game. I suspect Reading were a mid table nothing team when they had to pick, and they've already featured Middlesborough.

Clearly the C5 show is poor with little significant analysis.

However we should be quietly pleased that we're not in the spotlight because the pressure increases greatly when you're being lauded as champion favourites or the form team.

Indeed our new song helps because many non-Royals will view it as a bit of a joke (which it isn't) and it takes the collective eye off our recent improving performance. Surprisingly most of the media seem to have commented fairly on the song probably because it's pretty good and it's innovative.

In our two successful promotion to the premiership seasons I seem to remember that the media focus on us only occurred when we were nearly home and dry. So let's be pleased the media focus on the others.

We know we're having more goal attempts and shots on target (with, often, sub-50% possession) than the competition but it doesn't seem to have been picked up by the media. Long may their lack of analysis continue.

To be fair, the first time there was no interest in talking about us for our first promotion as we were obviously so muchbetter than everyone else. We were effectively in a sub league of one playing friendlies with the championship while we waited for our admittance to the PL. So the story was who'd be joining us.

Very little post match analysis and not many comments from managers.

Who cares what the managers have to say?

All you ever get is one manager saying their team thoroughly deserved to win, and the other saying his team deserved a point. Then they'll talk about "the penalty incident" and one manager will say it was a clear pen, and the other will say it was a terrible decision.

A complete waste of time.


Post match analysis is also only of any use at all if the people actually have anything to say. If you want "expert" post-match analysis from yesterday's game, I'll give it to you...

"After seven wins on the bounce Middlesbrough will be disappointed with the loss, but it's always difficult when you concede an early goal like that, as your game-plan goes out of the window.

Reading, on the other and, will be delighted. They made a slow start but are really picking up with a few impressive results, such as yesterday's win and last week's win at Burnley, and will be thinking now that they can mount a real promotion challenge."


And that will be it, from virtually any "expert" out there.

I'm interested and doubt I'm alone in that.

Never really understood those who slagged off the old BBC show and can't believe just how sh+te it's replacement is.

Claridge & Rosenior were always capable of highlighting what really mattered in the games from which only the goals were shown.

Frankly, after deeming that the highlight of last weeks game was a former Prem player coming on as a sub rather than one of the promotion favourites getting beaten at home, then showing literally seconds of Saturdays top game, they are off my SKY PLUS and I will stick with the extended highlights from the New HD Player.

Behave there was plenty to complain about BBC's offering, I just think due to how oxf*rd awful this new crud is we look back at it in a more favourable light.

I was flicking and came across ch 5+24 which was showing a rerun of yesterday's program and was interested to see if they spoke about our win. Was saddened to see that not only did they give more air time to that abomination of song we've been blessed with than highlights of our game, but that the mongtard reading fans in the studio audience smiled and answered with resounding yesses when thunder-thighs blondie asked if they liked that Eurovision crap.

[From Despair To Where?]

It all rather seemed through gritted teeth like they'd been told not to be negative. The editorial stance was clearly to make a bigger deal of the song than it warranted.

One of the bigger problems for the programme is the timeslot. It's too early. Add to that the fact that with the adverts, there's barely an hour's broadcast time so you've got maybe 90 seconds per game and that's before you take into account the rather facile analysis, the credits and the links beteeen features. It all feels rushed, thrown together and completely amateurish.

The BBC put it on later knowing most of the audience will record it or watch it on I-player and without the adverts, you've got an extra 20-25 minhtes of content for the same timeslot.

Well that was down to it's usual standard. Anyone else note their Reading factoid that "Danny Williams scored the fastest league goal in Reading's history" on Saturday - but then, of course, football only started in 1992.

[Forbury Lion]

We score after 15 or 16 seconds and the Football League Show still can't squeeze in the full build up for the goal

To be fair, they did get Nick Blackman's Ronaldoesque swivel and turn with the ball on the sideline unlike the video highlights on the Sky Sports Football Score Centre.

I don't bother with the C5 show any more....i just wait for the club to put them up on Youtube, much longer highlights without any gimps talking over it

I have a player subscription and the highlights on there are even longer, Boro highlights were 10mins.

I think C5 has some sort of deal with Sky Sports to show highlights of their featured games, also because they might be lazy bastards and don't want to send commentators places

[Forbury Lion]

They shouldn't need a commentator on scene or even researchers, just as the fans in the studio to tell the commentator what to say other wise what is the point of them being there other than to grin like loons, perv over Kelly formerly known as Dalglesh and show theirselves up by saying they love the cheesy music video our Sasima made for us...... Surely making them say that on camera is a breach of the Geneva convention?

Yes - it's the only thing worth the money. If I get one more interrupted live feed or Ady Williams sounding like his shouting at a microphone in the next room I think I'll burst!

[CountryRoyal]

+1 to player. I've had it since 09/10 but it's drastically improved recently. At one stage a couple of seasons ago they were even putting the full match up after woods, either way though the highlights are longer, there are the full interviews with people from the club whenever relevant and you of course get commentary (sometimes ) if you can't make it to a game and aren't in Berkshire.

As its now a standardised software across most if not all of the football league you can also log in to any other club's which id imagine will prove useful for all of the fans which will start 'supporting' us when we go up.

agree with WR
I want to see all th major events of the game, including replays of difficult or contentious decisions, and I want to see what our manager said after the game.
that's actually it.




lol at th ereading fans they bussed all the way in to stand there after the 12 second highlights.
"so what do you think of this terrible song?"
"its alright"
"thanks, right, on to the next thing"
