    For all of you who wanted to read it ;D ...



    Dear Miss Wood

    Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Match of the Day'.

    I appreciate you are frequently disappointed by the placement and
    treatment of Watford on the programme.

    The running order for each edition is determined by the day's big
    stories, talking points and most entertaining games. There is certainly no
    perceived bias to put a team higher or lower in the running order. Our
    intention with the programme is to provide a more comprehensive review
    of Saturday's Premiership action.

    Further, BBC presenters, commentators and pundits are well aware of our
    commitment to impartiality. They are expected to put their own views to
    one side when carrying out their work for the BBC.

    BBC Sport regularly receives both positive and negative feedback about
    individual commentators used in our programmes. We do pro-actively
    research viewer opinions about our presentation teams as well as monitoring
    complaints. If we receive only negative reaction and feedback then we
    would certainly look to address this.

    It is interesting to note that over time supporters from a number of
    different clubs contact us about the placement or amount of coverage
    their team received in the programme. It proves that we cannot please all
    the fans all the time.

    Nevertheless, let me assure you that your concerns have been fully
    registered on our daily audience log. This internal document will be made
    available to the 'Match of the Day' team and Senior BBC Management.

    Once again thank you for taking the time to contact the BBC with your
    views.

    Regards

    Nuala Hyde

    >I am getting a bit fed up of staying up every saturday to watch Match
    of the Day, only to find my team (Watford) being shown last constantly.
    Not only this but only being shown for about 2 minutes max. Then being
    proceeded by jibes of how we dont have quality and basic mocking of us.

    >Maybe if you had unbiased presenters and ones who can appreciate that
    even teams at the bottom of the league have fans also. Match of The Day
    has gone way down in my estimation and so has Gary Linker & Co.
    >
    >I find it insulting to the fans and the team. They need to learn some
    respect.

    Well I thought that was quite funny hornmeister- irregardless of fan's ignorance kind of killing the joke.


    I'm sure we will be one of the few main games on MOTD today. There weren't any other games played today with as much of a story to them or as much riding on them.

    Lol...the Floyd...shocking school, you must have been desperate to find somwhere that would consider 'educating' you.

    Anyways, now i take up residence in Plymouth until the end of my uni education i'll consider myself devoid of any connection that 'dung' hole as you call it.

    It's the surfers life for me im afraid!
