M.O.T.D. R.I.P.?
By Oliver Sparrow, writing from London
Stan Collymore unleashed a scathing attack on BBC’s ‘Match of the Day’ via Twitter last week, calling it ‘stale, clichéd and smug pap’.
Usually I don’t agree with Mr. Collymore, whose outspoken and brusque views are often ill-considered and unsupported by valid evidence, but on this occasion I can see where he’s coming from. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of MOTD, and I did a little jig of delight when the BBC won the Premier League highlights package back from ITV a few years back, but I can’t help but feel that the format has stagnated and the effort put into its production has waned in recent seasons.
