BBC scores own goal with lower league coverage ho ho ho I am funny

Has anyone seen the new football league programme that the BBC has offered? I was so looking forward to it before the season started. And I was unimpressed in my first viewing.

Let me point out that I didn't watch it live, because that would have meant staying up until 1.40am if I wanted to see the whole sorry thing. Ridiculous. Who wants to watch Accrington vs Hereford at 1.35am?

Evidently plenty of people, because the petri dish of inane texts was certainly bubbling over, as I will come to shortly.

Firstl Impressions.. seems to be in the industrial area of the Crystal Maze...dull,inane, vacuous host...Steve Claridge with awful overgrown thatch of hair...token BBC "we know we need women because Sky Sports have them but ours are never as good looking" piece of skirt...who is being framed through a doorway for no apparent reason as characterless androids siphon results in the background...not good.

Steve Claridge was a good player, but is a truly awful pundit. His voice fluctuates like that punk guy in the Police Academy films, and he refused to comment in typically banal fashion when skirt asked him if he would consider taking on a job at one of the clubs. What would have been the harm in saying "It's something I would consider", which is clearly what he was thinking?

Then there's the jokes. As we sweep around the various games we discover that there's one - possibly Bury - where there was no program. And hence we are bombarded with lines about how the manager's programme notes couldn't be heeded because the players never saw them because they were never printed. How my sides split.

The BBC's online coverage is very good, but they really are trying too hard, especially with the doorway bit. A few suggestions:
1)Put it on earlier - before MOTD would be great, if for no other reason than to piss off all the bandwagoners.
2)Get rid of token skirt - unless she looks like Laura Esposito, or knows football like Helen Chamberlain, or looks like and knows football like Rebecca Lowe, don't bother.
3)Get in fanzine writers
4)Get in someone who really cares - more Mark Clemmit, preferably as host.

On the first night at one point highlights of Torquay vs Chesterfield were rudely interrupted by a film of a woman going to the toilet. I won't make the obvious comment about where you could put the programme...
