Unacceptable football coverage on the BBC's Match of the Day
Sign Now
I am an English football fan who supports a Premiership team and I am sick to the back teeth of the football 'commentary' and 'punditry' provided by the BBC. If you are too then please, read on.
Now, whether ITV's, Five's or any other channel's football coverage is upto standard is not the point here, the fact is that the BBC take our money and use it to pay these people whether we want them or not.
If you are sick of Graeme Le Saux's 'He'll be disappointed with that' or 'England are looking good today' inane drivel then please, sign this petition and leave any comments.
If you, like many people I have spoken to, watched in disbelief as Mark Lawrenson and John Motson commented how John Arne Riise's shot broke Alan Smith's right leg and totally ignored his left leg twisting and buckling under him then again, please, sign this petition and leave any comments.
This has to stop and it's about time the BBC sat up and took notice of us and did something about it. Remember - these people are lining their pockets with YOUR MONEY!
I have already written a letter of complaint to the BBC but my voice alone will not be enough to make the director of sport or whoever controls these things sit up and take notice, so if you have the time then feel free to lodge a personal complaint of your own on their website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/.
If you have got this far then I thank you for reading and hope you agree with my sentiments and feel the need to sign this petition.

I think the BBC treat us all like hooligans. They tip-toe around issues (especially Le Saux) in an attepmt to appease.

Totally agree, Motson and Lawrenson are the worst. Classic Motty was when he couldn't understand why England and Slovakia were playing in Bratislava and not Prague!!!

Is there really ANY need to have these Self Opinionated 'Pundits' at all ?Get rid of them and spend more time showing the rest of the teams that make up the Premiership.. There ARE more than four teams competing in it you know.

When I watch football on BBC I turn the volume off. Commentators are rubbish. I never watch half time analysis and turn off as soon as match ends
