Don't forget It is a 90 minute program and needs to be edited.This takes time to show goals etc.I agree more could be said about the game.I still say the "licence fee" is worth it and I had to pay it also to the BBC even though I worked for them for 32 years.
Did someone say bias?
Heavy police presence at a local derby - not news, it happens every time we play anyone where there is the remotest possibility of some trouble, a precaution at best most of the time.
Several drunk morons get arrested - not news, happens every Friday and Saturday night at pubs and clubs up and down the country and nothing more is said about it, suddenly it happens at a football match and it's news worthy again and football fans are labelled as hooligans.
Floodlight failure - not news, at best a tid bit to tack on the end of an actual report for a football match but it's hardly a gripping news item.
5000th game, 2 good goals, an entertaining atmosphere; all good stuff and all news worthy in a report on last night's sporting action. For me that's some bleddy good editing to lose all of this but retain the negative but wholly dull and typical content they actually included in their report.
As for the License Fee, there's no way I'm losing the Great British Bake-off just because some numpty local news editor isn't a football fan.
