#BBCMotD analysts completely ignoring this too, this is a whole-of-the-sport blindspot not just an odd mistake.

Usual lazy TV pundit & commentator analysis of refereeing on #BBCMOTD and elsewhere. In #SaintsFC game ref sees ball moving when struck, so blows whistle correctly. Not 'controversial' nor 'right decision for wrong reason. Just correct. #BBC owe it to refs to be better informed if criticising refs.

#BBCMOTD: If a player is fouled OUTSIDE the box, THAT determines its status. If it continues INTO the box, it does NOT suddenly become a penalty! We've seen NUMEROUS examples of a penalty being denied because 1st contact was outside the box.
Yes, a foul; yes, a red card; NOT a pen. Palace robbed.

Just catching up on #BBCMotD and Danny Murphy's "if anyone can, Xhaka can" joke was awful and I loved it.

Suddenly, Wayne Rooney has discovered how to talk with confidence and energy #motd #bbcmotd

Match of the Day - 2025/26: 07/01/2026 Highlights from nine midweek Premier League matches as Manchester City host Brighton at the Etihad and Chelsea travel to Fulham.

#BBC #MatchOfTheDay was brilliant last night, especially the match between #LeedsUnited and #NewcastleUnited, plus I didn't have to listen to Sir Jake Berry of #ReformUK saying how fantastic the orange paedo is - bonus! 🤡

Watching the game on #BBCMOTD. We were robbed of a penalty there. Robbed! #BOUTOT #THFC

I see Joe Hart has had a summer holiday in Turkey 🇹🇷 🦰💉

Seagulls are famous for stealing people's chips

Best football ⚽ commentator remark in MOTD was towards the end of a match where #Brighton were losing:

"It looks as if The Seagulls might have had their chips"

I'm sure their fans will have heard it many times before but it made me smile... 😁

#bbcmotd

Just seen the #Brighton goal on #BBCMotD. It's a clear handball but PGMOL allow this sort of thing so that they can claim incompetence which muddies the waters to hide their #corruption

I think Dion Dublin has a point.

Even elite professional players can’t switch off grief. They lost a colleague and friend just a few months ago…seems it’s not being talked about enough.

Not a Liverpool fan obviously, but this coulda happened to any team.

#BBCMOTD

Commentator saying “You have to appreciate the tekkers” might be the thing that finally turns me against the BBC. #BBCMOTD #MOTD

Hey Elliot, Poz: @arsenalvisionpodcast.com @poznaninmypants.bsky.social Don’t know whether you saw #bbcmotd last night, but someone outdid himself/herself: “Eze Like Sunday Mauling” will take some topping, with due apologies to Lionel Richie and the Commodores… 😀

That's a great header by MGW! #BBCMotD

This weekend will be October's Goal Of The Month on #BBCMOTD and Nick Woltemade's penalty vs Forest should not only be there - it should win.

I think it'd be the first penalty to EVER win Goal Of The Month 🥳

I know Match Of The Day is not on #BlueSky but I'm not tagging them elsewhere #NUFC #MOTD

Awful punditry on #bbcmotd conviently forgetting that Liverpool have kept 2 clean sheets in their last 2 game before tonight... as it simply didnt suit their narrative... lazy punditry #lfc

Ex-England & Man Utd captain, Rio Ferdinand, plans to quit BBC's Match of the Day after this season. A big loss for the show! #BBCMOTD https://fefd.link/8QoLg

It was a glorious piece of broadcasting history to see Gary Lineker sign off Match Of The Day for the final time.

The biased Crisps Salesman is away from that like there's no freakin' tomorrow.

Good times.

Tearing up here watching Gary's last #BBCMOTD
Enjoy your Saturday night's Gary

They know how to do a montage, and a really lovely VT to say goodbye to Gary Lineker on #BBCMOTD 👋🏽

Nice to have Alan Hansen return for a few words and Gary's sons.

Thanks Gary for being a great presenter, the banter and the dad jokes 👏🏽

Keep up speaking your mind ✊🏽🇵🇸

The Gary Lineker MOTD goodbye and highlight reel were perfect *chefs kiss* #MOTD #BBCMOTD

I can't say I've watched #BBCMOTD for a long time (viewing habits have changed) but doing so tonight for Gary Lineker's last show 🙌🏽

Still good enough to do the job, good chemistry with his pundits but the Beeb too scared he wants to raise awareness of things more important than football ⚽️

#MOTD

Still not sure why #Southampton thought bringing in Robert De Niro as their manager might save them from relegation. 🤷

I’ve just seen the #IPSTOT match highlights on #BBCMOTD. I am quite impressed by Spurs’ goals earlier today. We may be 12th in the league, but this match shows that we deserve to be much higher. #THFC

There's definitely a timeline where #BBCMOTD is hosted by Adrian Chiles and features Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand's insight every week.

I'm just glad we don't live in it.

Marcus Asensio? #AVLTOT #BBCMOTD

Five goals at Anfield, yet Liverpool v Ipswich was FIFTH on #BBCMOTD. What on earth is going on with the editing of that programme? Pure southern bias: they even had a one goal Arsenal thriller on before the Reds.

These tossers spent long enough turning a blind to the bullshit from the refs/PGMOL but now once there's a young and brilliant ENGLISH player getting the shit, OH NOW IT'S ALL WRONG

Oh the ref made a bad decision, go FUCK yourselves #BBCMOTD
