Unacceptable football coverage on the BBC's Match of the Day

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.
