Match Of The Day Are A Disgrace

Match of the Day has pulled some ridiculous bias out of its backside before but it will do well this season to top the highlights of Blackburn’s loss to Man City on Saturday night.

Watching the extended highlights at 10.30 last night the editing crew gave the impression there was only one team in the game and ignored several key Blackburn attacks, choosing instead to focus on City passing the ball around and some half chances they created whilst missing several close attempts at Shay Given goal.

In truth, if you watch the game in full, Rovers were actually the better side on the whole – not totally outclassed as MOTD seemed to want to portray.

Now I know there is a lot of buzz around City at the moment and rightly so as there should be but the viewing as a Rovers fan was borderline insulting last night.

To further jab home the pain, the pundits chose to totally ignore Blackburn after the match – not even a comment, not even a glance – it was all about City’s new signings. ‘Blackburn couldn’t live with City’s midfield’ was one outcry from the sofa – yes they could guys, in fact on the large, they did it very well.

Now I know this all sounds very bitter but if it was one of the ‘big clubs’ getting this sort of ignorance there would be mass outcry – but I bet this passes without a whisper.

You should be ashamed of yourselves BBC.
