Oldgregg86 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just found out that championship, league 1 and 2 highlights will be shown at 9pm on channel 5 next season. I think this is great news. Now we dnt need to wait until daft o'clock in the morning see rovers surrender a 2 goal lead. They also have the rights to capital one cup and john stones paint trophy. http://mobile.rovers.co.uk/news/article/the-football-league-channel-5-itn-productions-2440948.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted May 5, 2015 Moderation Lead Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hopefully we get more than 30 seconds if we aren't the main game now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgregg86 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I've got a one year old so my wild nights out are over so I like the thought of getting my baby in bed for half eight then straight through 9 til twelve watching all the football league finishing with match of the day. Boom. Run at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Tom Posted May 5, 2015 Backroom Share Posted May 5, 2015 Channel 5 coverage of football is bad but the football league show was terrible so it can't be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgregg86 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Used to love Jonathon Pearce commentating on channel 5. He's a marmite kind of commentator love him or hate him but I thought he was great. He's with the beeb now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumboots Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well at least when we watch them we won't have to put up with maniche or whatever he is called. I asked my daughter how he kept the job and she said he was considered a safe pair of hands I. E. He wouldn't rock the boat or do anything remotely edgy.

chris_h Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I thought Leroy Rosenior was quite impressive on the FL Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, he comes off as possibly the most boring person on the planet. Tend to catch the Football League highlights on Sky these days, but may give the new ch5 show a watch. Not usually much on at 9pm on a Saturday night anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover_Shaun Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I like Maniche. He's better than anyone on MOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumboots Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 You have to be on a wind up Shaun. Whilst motd people aren't great, maniche takes bland to a whole new level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cn174 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think that it is a good move. Highlights show doesn't need to be owt fancy, just so the games. Not bothered about the 'expert' opinion of the likes of Leroy Rosinior or Steve Claridge!! And at least now it is at a reasonable time. I'm a night owl, but can hardly ever be bothered to carry on watching after MOTD just to see 5 seconds of highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted May 5, 2015 Backroom Share Posted May 5, 2015 Claridge's attempts to hide his receding hairline were far more entertaining than his punditry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover_Shaun Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He come across as solid and fairly knowledgeable. If I want some annoying prick presenter I'll tune in to ITV2 or Channel 4. Maniche, like Lineker, isn't there to juggle ostriches in their underpants. What lets that show down is that it always has Claridge or Rosenior. They are the one's being paid to give their opinions yet one's a plonker the others like watching paint dry. Too busy backslapping their mates and being the Lib Dem of football punditry.

donnermeat Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Claridge is bad but John Barnes is worse..... Does he still do Channel 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Graham Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The early evening timing sounds good to me. I go to bed about 9pm mid week and by 10pm on Friday and Saturday so I should be able to see the "highlights" (is that the proper word when describing Rovers?) for a change.

Baz Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Good news as long as Manish, Leroy and Steve aren't moving too. Struggle to stay awake through their boring "insight", theres not an opinion between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwen Rover 007 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Maniche does a good job in my opinion; I think the show often has some good guests on but agree claridge has at least 80% of 'you bloody what?!' Moments and rosenoir is Ll about the guys he knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
