Just watched this. The commentary was fine and evenly balanced. The analysis however was 100% West Ham, this game, their worries and concerns and poor old Nuno! No opinion whatsoever about the Rangers, this performance,our worries and problems or our manager.
Hardly the balanced reporting the BBC aspire to!

Hardly surprising. They have no interest in the championship from a television point of view. It’s got slightly better from the radio perspective however still nowhere near good enough .
My brother was watching a feed of the game in Ireland and the commentator was convinced Hamer was playing instead of Walsh .
Did his research there? | | | |

Is the role of the MOTD production team to provide balanced reporting, or to deliver a narrative that they believe the viewing public want to tune into so they will continue watching the programme? I'd suggest that any neutrals watching would have been familiar with the West Ham predicament, so the post-match narrative would have been tailored accordingly.
Outside of W12, who has even a remote bit of interest in QPR's aspirations for the rest of the season? [Post edited 12 Jan 13:34]

Dear Kelly, Dion, and Phil.
How many teams played in the Westfield derby match? Was there really just the one?
When I watched it there seemed to be two but in the analysis one seemed to vanish.
How does this work?
Your faithfully

Thomas, you're right. I suspect we might have got some mention if we were a non-league side, whereupon the word 'plucky' would have been used to describe us.
That said, the BBC ceased being credible years ago for football coverage, as it's focus is mass-audiance, not necessarily within earshot of Bow Bells, or the UK for that matter. |  |

I watched DAZN and they had Adam Virgo on co-comms.
He was pretty knowledgeable on the Champ, he knew we had played Sam Field at LB for example, but he was surprised when Morgan played at the top of the diamond (is that where he started when he came on?)
Plus, they weren't shy about calling out the lulls in the latter stages of ET, where other broadcasters are happy to talk up something out of nothing |  | | |

Yeah I listened to the same commentory. Was very good from both commentators. Very fair and balanced. And yes, just as knowledgable about QPR as they were West Ham. |  | | |

We are very much under the radar.
Even in Championship-related podcasts we rarely get much of a mention. Preston and Millwall are more on the radar than us as they are in the play-off spots. |  |

I watched on TNT Sports and it was the same, a Scottish commentator and Scott Minto as co-commentator. 90% of the talk was West Ham. | | | |

Unless of course they are owned or co owned by Hollywood or American sports stars.
I was not surprised that QPR didn't get talked about as they have slumped from Premiership to perennial Championship strugglers since 2015 with no realistic chance of going up this season and probably a few more seasons yet. | | | |

Get real folks. You should know football in UK started in 1993 with the launch of the Pl. Championship/L1/L2 are almost irrelevant.
Wet Spam's problems are already well documented. All yesterday's result achieves is a little breathing space for NES and that club.
If we'd won it might have been different. But not by much. |  |

Came away from watching last nights MOTD with the same feelings as the OP.
And on the sameish topic: Did the championship do the BBC's sister or something? The level of reporting for such great comp is baffling. | | | |

I watched the game on espn+ and they have the crowd turned nearly to off, unwatchable.
At least on MOTD I heard our crowd. MOTD aren’t going to talk about us, pL or upsets the main agenda. | | | |

It amused me when I watched Saturday night’s MOTD and Dion Dublin’s big take on the Chelsea game was that they don’t have enough players and need to acquire a lot more.
I was under the impression that you’re never more than five feet away from a Chelsea player, there’s so many of them. | | | |

The commentator was obsessed with Ben Hamer as our goalkeeper. Do your Research Man !!!!
Not as if goalkeepers are difficult to call ie there is only one at each end.... |  |

Was going to post something similar after watching the highlights ! I get we’re not the draw and nobody cares about us and West Ham are in the prem Bla fking blah but the things that wound me up was when the pundits where “really pleased and happy for nuno “ really ? How about go fck yourself ! Toss yourselfs off talking about whu if you like but don’t be fking happy that one manager with a multi million pound squad beat another from the championship !
The other was the analysis of the goals , didn’t talk about us scoring, just how West Ham couldn’t keep a clean sheet and still have defensive frailties.
As for that presenter , I’m sure she was hosting the fa cup draw last year and didn’t even mention us by name then either .
Anyway rant over , bbc can go in the bin |  | | |

I watched on TNT too (well, TNT 5 actually). It's one thing when other club stream commentators get a player's names wrong, fair enough reallt. But it does make me laugh when it's supposedly someone knowledgeable, giving opinions as if they know what they're talking about. The one that kept making me laugh was all the discussion during the yellow card incident about our right back "Em-Beng". |  | | |

Absolutely agree with this. I think they were pleased for Nuno because it was their first win in about 10 games. So I guess another successful mission for our charitable nature. I did notice they did talk about Portsmouth in the analysis but had no time for us. Like you say they mentioned West Ham's inability to keep a clean sheet but failed to show the goal we scored to emphasise the point. |  | | |

The TNT Sports coverage was all pretty much the same. Everything about what West Ham are doing. Understandable in a way as they have little skin in the game where EFL clubs are concerned. |  | | |

I'm not sure what there was to say about us, they are limited for time and the story was West Ham getting a first win in ages. If we'd won the story was West Ham in crisis. I just thought it was quite nice to see us on Match of the Day again |  | | |

He was okay, but “FFS sake Bradley, blow your nose!”.
When he wasn’t talking, he was sniffing! Bloody horrible. |  |
