So... no more FLS on the Beeb from the end of the season. Wonder if any of the other terrestrials will bid for the rights for highlights instead? Will take an already long programme even longer with all the bloomin ads!

Let's pray it's not going back to ITV, which had no analysis of both League 1 or 2.

Good point on there that the Beeb are wasting money on Shearer who no one likes. He is the worst pundit.

By no means perfect, but still compulsory viewing. Both MOTD & FLS should cut all the chat and just show the action with a voiceover to save a few bob. I do however enjoy the Mark Clemmit visits and behind the scenes stuff, adds a bit of soul to the show.

I guess it will turn up on Sky Sports 6, thank god for KiwiSportz!

I don't know why the beeb just include football league highlights on the end of Match of the Day.

Alright, it would make MOTD go on for 5 hours...

Shame.

Decent programme for lower league fans, it will be missed.

With regards to Hansen etc, who would actually miss him apart from middle aged / old ladies, also I presume Lawro pays the BBC to sit on the sofa.

Garth Crooks would probably do it for relative pocket money !

It shows all the goals from the Championship down to league 2, that is enough for me, you are being rather harsh imho.
