They probably put us on last to keep the viewing numbers up throughout the first half of the show. I do tend to record it and skip through most of the games but there were a few odd results yesterday that were worth watching.

HOW have people not yet realised that they go in positional order of the home team?!
What were Donny before the game? 19th-20th? So, therefore, we got shown right at the end.
Last year we were on near the start when at home.

Usually just watch it on catch up on Sunday morning. Fast forward to our 30 seconds, and thats that.

Ditto, usually with the sound off.

Just watched it on Sky+ truly dreadful programme!

Keith Hill (Rochdale manager) was giving a quote and they just faded him out. Did they have a GCSE media studies student doing the editing.

Suggest you just record it and fast forward through all the non action. The presenter isn't too bad but the black fella who is usually on is dire. Claridge just agrees with whatever the presenter says.

No idea why they insist on doing a "feature" (ditto MotD) every week. I'd rather just see action.

Just watched our goals. There looks to a good shout for handball just before Lita scores (backed up by the mass call from our fans). Fortunately the way the Donny player handles it knocks it into Lita's path.

I missed the goal because I was looking at the ref, he probably wouldn't have given it, he wasn't giving us ANYTHING else.

'Crime Watch' I mean 'Watchdog' no I mean 'The Football League Show' is terrible, I record it and fast forward to the 8 seconds of the Brighton game, unless we don't score and lose then I just delete it without watching it at all.

Steve Claridge seems to hate Brighton for some reason and Mannish is not suited to a sports program, like I said the way the show and set is arranged and presented the bloke would be better suited taking on 'Crime Watch' or Anne Robinsons job on 'Watchdog'.

Really? Bit harsh - he usually only ever has positive things to say about us. I actually prefer him to Leroy Rosenior, who is even more bland in his comments.

I cannot see much wrong with the program although I obviously would like to see more of our gamed when we are away and I havent gone. I hope that it doesnt go over to Sky as I feel that everybody should have the chance to watch it not just those who chose to pay, which I have stopped doing. Also I dont think Sky coverage is any better than the BBC.

So explain how the running order was the following matches of the home teams ?

Sheff Weds
Watford
Millwall
Qpr
Forest
Wigan
Leeds
Ipswich
Bournemouth
Doncaster
Blackburn
Birmingham

Ok. I meant to say positional order of the highest team, rather than home team:

Sheff Wed - feature
Watford - sky game plus playing team in second
Milwall - playing the leaders
QPR - Team in third
Forest - Team in fifth playing team in fourth
Wigan - Should have been after Leeds, I suppose. Game had more goals in it?
Leeds - Team in 8th
Ipswich - It was the friday night sky game
Bournemouth - team below Leeds
Doncaster - were 19th, playing 16th
Blackburn - no idea why that was shown out of order
Birmingham - were 20th

If you look at the table prior to the matches you can predict 90% of the running order every week.

But don't let that get in the way of a good old NSC Binfest :catfight:

Plenty of beards on show in the Barnsley team. I like that.

Sky's coverage is ten times better

I dunno especially previous seasons he seems to be harsh on us, maybe its just because he's so boring and bland its the tone of his voice I pick up on rather than his words, I usually switch off when I hear him speak tbf haha
