MOTD - New presenters finally announced

[Brin]

Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan will be the new Match of the Day presenters from next season, the BBC has announced. It is the first time the role will be shared between three people.
They will split presenting duties for Match of the Day 2 on Sundays and MOTD: Champions League on Wednesdays, as well as Saturday's flagship show.

Gary Lineker has hosted Match of the Day since 1999 and will do so for the rest of the season.
The former England striker will continue to lead the BBC's TV coverage of the FA Cup next season and present the men's World Cup in 2026.

Cates, Chapman and Logan will be the sixth set of main presenters for Match of the Day, which is the longest-running football show in the world having launched on 22 August 1964.
Last season, 33 million viewers tuned in across all Match of the Day Premier League and FA Cup programmes.
Former England players Alan Shearer and Micah Richards will continue as regular MOTD pundits.

Do men host womens football programmes?

Not that they should not as I don't think women should not host mens football programmes. I just wish they did not!

Kelly Gates I won't watch nothing there want someone who'll rattle a few cages. Gabby Logan not a specialist on football. Chappers should have kept to what he was said to have said he'd only do MOTD on his own. ps I don't watch it anyway haven't for decades but seen new presenters elsewhere KG 1st on CH5 doing EFL highlights.

They are all very good experienced hosts. They will ask the right questions of the pundits, who will be the ones giving the opinions.
I think it's a great move.

Agree. Time to move on from the "blokes know best" dinosaurs.

However, having said that I would like to suggest 2 blokes who might add to the diversity/entertainment issues -

1 Froggy, for his services to the alternative facts community

2 Grist (who is now and always will be eternal) for his dedication to GBNews (which doesn't broadcast sport)

The way you've swung this topic around to discussing your fears and shortcomings is a tad worrying. This is bordering on obsessive behaviour, fiddlypants.

Try getting off t'internet and taking a walk in the countryside. You'll feel better for it, both physically and mentally.

MOTD yawn

[caytonmiller]

Men watch motd to get away from going to bed early on a satdi neet to sort the Mrs out.
Having to listen to women commentators screaming on about footballers for 90 minutes you may as well turn it off.
Scurry off to bed and do your marital duty for 5 minutes.
