Most of the pundits we see every week on Sky or TNT have been snapped up on loan by the Beeb or ITV.
Not so Jamie Carragher.
I wonder why...

🗣 Jamie Carragher: "I always felt Cole Palmer, not necessarily that he should be in the England team, but I just think when you've got a squad of 26, it just feels to me like a lot of the options from the bench are very similar to the players already on the bench, which is fine. But now and again you just want maybe something a little bit different, and I do think Cole Palmer is different from all those attacking players." ~ @skysports

@almurray see you at the Bedford tonight. Worked briefly with you on who Does Everyone Hate…then became a Prison Officer at Belmarsh

It must be a sad state of affairs for the BBC of they're resorting to this during the FA Cup final, and getting the commentary team to talk about it

@scriptwren Probably on there cos more people want it rather than watching old Jimmy Saville videos

Hearing of the end of Football Focus was rather like picking up a newspaper in 1979 to find silent film star Mary Pickford had died, & responding, ‘Blimey, I didn’t know she was still alive.’

@Lawford62 Shame you’re not prepared to dust your contacts book out. Not just the young who are apathetic!

@BalhamOld I think Stormzy holds more aces than I do. Years ago Paul McCartney redid the Crossroads theme tune to a very mixed reception and I think they reverted back to the original pretty quickly.
The MOTD theme tune change did not last either.

Used to love Football Preview on Grandstand with Sam Leitch, which evolved into Football Focus. ITV would stagger On The Ball on World of Sport with Brian Moore so we could watch both. As a very young child in the early 70s, it what Saturdays were all about. ⚽️ ⚽️

@Martynw34 Sad but unsurprising. Calamitous viewing figures, people having 24/7 access to footie news and the BBC in a funding crisis makes it pretty hard to justify.But if the rumours that Stormzy is reworking the Sports Report theme tune is true , I’ll be marching in the streets #stormzy

Not Surprised, haven't watched an episode since she took it over, the BBC being as woke as they are went down the Politically Correct route & the show paid the price, don't know anyone who watched it in recent years

Alex Scott breaks silence as BBC axes Football Focus after huge collapse in viewing figures. The 41-year-old presenter revealed she had already decided to quit the long-running show before the BBC pulled the plug. Football Focus has been scrapped in its current format after years of declining audiences. Fans of the show have been brutal, with many saying: “The show died the moment Alex Scott took over, turned the show into a joke of its former self.” Another added: “I stopped watching when she took over.” The BBC has confirmed the programme will not return in its traditional Saturday lunchtime slot next season. Thoughts?

@Lawford62 Have you any contacts to try and prevent this or at least start a conversation?

@BalhamOld No. Not the theme tune. Some things must NEVER be changed or reworked.

Match of the Day@BBCMOTD
An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.

The thing about BBC content is that it knows how to do things the right way. I was really lucky to be trained by the old guard whose standards are the best. But cost is time = money.
Post-covid esp. we’re more tolerant of rough and ready - content creators prove that.
But… 1/3

'Saturday lunchtime was no longer the right place for Football Focus' Former BBC Sport presenter Steve Rider spoke to #BBCBreakfast about the decision to axe Football Focus at the end of the season, after 52 years on air bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

We all know that watching football/sport on TV today is totally different from how it was back in the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s. But back in the day we were totally spoilt on some great programmes.
BBC had Grandstand, with Football Focus, Teleprinter/Vidiprinter and a proper Final Score, midweek we had the great Sportsnight with a great sprinkling of sports but mostly cup football.
ITV had World Of Sport, with On The Ball and their own results service, then when World Of Sport ended they had their results service with Elton Welsby. Midweek ITV give us Midweek Sport Special and more cup football.
Throw into the mix the great Saint & Greavsie on Saturday lunchtimes who were on a different level.
I don’t think we appreciated what we used to have, from the programmes themselves to great presenters and commentators.
We were spoilt in a big way and something we will never get back when you look at what’s on offer today!
