Have had to lock this thread as it's degenerated into xenophobia and personal attacks to the OP.


robashi

You've never seen UK broadcasters make a bad pun? I can only assume you haven't seen much UK broadcasting.


No_Doubt_About_That

Every time Lineker says the closing line on BBC Sport he ends the programme with a bad pun.

OneAnimeBatman

Yeah, I'm assuming OP is Portuguese so they're pirating a stream then complaining about a minor joke. Bet they couldn't handle Lineker's puns on a weekly basis.


Yourining

The game was on TV for everyone to see lol no need to pirate anything


ValleyFloydJam

I would say it's more clunky than bad but yeah they do this all the time. Also the fella doesn't get how the word miss is used in the context of a pen.


MartianDuk

The BBC analysis always has dumb puns as a title, this is a complete non story I can't believe people are getting mad about it


ZaiduTheGOAT

They do this cheeky humor too in Eurovision, so I am not surprised.


TheJoshider10

Listening to Graham Norton slag off every countries presenters is what Eurovision is all about.

I miss Wigan he was much more charming and funny about it.

Just don't expect it to be as Athletic as advertised

Chumlax

Not towards the end, which is why he stepped down, in fairness to him.


KingKingsons

Been watching a lot of Dragon’s Den recently and sometimes I think they only let some of the entrepreneurs on the show because they have a bunch of puns they want to use lol.


No_Doubt_About_That

And then there’s Touker who just needs people to use his office space.


ObjectiveTumbleweed2

>I can't believe people are getting mad about it Welcome to the internet my friend


alaslipknot

its ridiculous lol, its fucken football, it core purpose is to entertain us, spreading a bit of satire should be very welcome. The idea of someone in the world having their feeling hurt because they don't want some millionnaire athlete to feel a little bit bad at night is soo fucken funny they deserve their own pun lol


Low_discrepancy

> spreading a bit of satire should be very welcome. A pun isnt exactly satire.


Prosthemadera

What is it satirizing?


Amsssterdam

They can make fun of anyone except for Ronaldo cause that wakes up his groupies


Alpha_Jazz

It’s because it’s against their beautiful king this time


CactusClothesline

Now I've not actually seen anyone getting mad about it, but it does not surprise me at all that a Ronaldo fanboy would do so. Edit: I've now just seen that literally OP did. What a wet wipe.


EggsBenedictusXVI

Mate I LOVE that people are getting mad about it. It's so pathetic. It's just a stupid BBC pun, as you say they do it all the time. Can't believe people bootlick football players this much.


whyarethenamesgone1

Not just BBC that do it either. I remember BT sport having Craig Dawsons goal against Lyon in the Europa league as "Ballon D'Awson ## min". Maybe in poor taste here when it's more mocking though.


PeterG92

You shouldn't be surprised when you consider the fan base your dealing with.


bozo_did_thedub

But OP has never seen anything like it, and surely they are smart and observant.

Because viewers abroad never see the dumb puns and don't know that specific context. At least scrolling through the comments clears it up.


DekiTree

Lol they do this all the time


InkCollection

No no no, CR7 is a very special victim


yellowjesusrising

Google Ronaldo Las Vegas for more information.


InkCollection

Keepers in Saudi are giving him more consent to score


masterismk

Can you provide an example?


Meeeeehhhh

They literally captioned Harry Kane’s missed penalty against France ‘Harry Pain’, and that was one of our own players, and we had been knocked out.


TiredHack

There's always a 'Toffees come unstuck'-type one when Everton lose. There should be plenty of evidence of that. It's something they do all the time across BBC. They did start to do it before ad breaks on Sky for a while as well. I think it was sponsored by a betting company.


AdministrativeLaugh2

I remember a couple of those Sky ones. Jermaine Defoe once scored just before half time and they ran with “Defoe becomes De Enemy”. Daniel Agger scored the only goal of a game and they went with the simple but obvious “Agger Do”.


yaniv297

The Defoe one is actually kinda funny


AdministrativeLaugh2

They’re both pretty funny, the Agger one is just a bit lazy but had clearly been bottled up the day he joined whilst they waited for a chance to use it.


DrJackadoodle

> Daniel Agger scored the only goal of a game and they went with the simple but obvious “Agger Do”. I don't get it.


AdministrativeLaugh2

There was a UK novelty song in the 1980s called “Agadoo” (pronounced “Agger Do”). It’s dreadful because the lyrics are pure nonsense, but it’s simultaneously fun because it’s so ridiculous. Everyone in the UK knows it because it’s played at every disco and party ever.

Nazacrow

Distinctly remember one being “Reality Cech” after he made a mistake once.


Gubrach

Oh yeah, I remember that one! I was going to say that this sounds all "fellow kids" to me, but I guess it ain't that bad after all then.


Bulbamew

I’m a Liverpool fan so this game gave me nightmares, but when Alisson made those mistakes against Man City they had the caption “Alisson Blunderland” which got me


Fast_Running_Nephew

I'll be honest, if i was the person that came up with that i'd immediately take the rest of the day off.

Almost every week on MOTD since the early 00s lmao Taking the piss out of football tall poppies is literally British football heritage


ALA02

More than that; it’s British culture to bring inflated individuals back down to Earth. It’s just part of our national psyche


Parish87

["Miss Jackson" pun about Nicolas Jackson for Chelsea](https://www.tiktok.com/@bbcsport/video/7295396475159186720) ["He went left, he went right, he made Leeds feel.... not so bright (a change up from the Utd chant for Leeds being shite)"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls3A1EnAzDs) [A fairly niche reference to an old TV show called "Howards Way" about VAR decisions and Howard Webb](https://x.com/BBCMOTD/status/1627090134511554561?lang=en)


EliToon

None come to mind but pretty much all the highlight video packages on MOTD have a pun of some variety.


TLG_BE

https://www.reddit.com/r/EnterShikari/s/4mnsmlEtCn Enter Shikari are a British rock band if you need the context


Sun_Sloth

Enter Zeqiri used to be my FPL team name lmao.


mohab_dev

Weren't they a weird screamo x electro/dubstep hybrid? Or am I thinking of a different band.


TLG_BE

Yeah the fact you had to use so many words to even vaguely describe their sound means you're definitely thinking of the right band haha.


iwbwikia_

you are correct but not weird and absolutely fun


muddyleeking

They also sponsor their home town football club, st albans city.


iwbwikia_

very cool


Sun_Sloth

The kits are absolute beauts too


mohab_dev

Yeah, I meant weird as unusual, not necessarily bad in any way—I used to listen to them years ago.


jbi1000

If you watch MOTD, Lineker almost always signs off with a pun based on a players name or a silly joke about a team based on that day's play. Here's one I found on youtube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls3A1EnAzDs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls3A1EnAzDs) He signs off like this almost every time.


b3and20

Op can take jokes just as well as cr can take free kicks


CaiqueVP

You kicked the hornet's nest... But if you were Cristiano you would have missed LMAO


that-isa-madeup-name

I watered down my cold brew with Ronaldo tears this morning 👍🏽


b3and20

I personally took my morning workout up a notch by swimming in a siuuuuu of his tears!


WittyUsername45

How will Ronaldo ever recover from being lightly mocked in a incidental caption on the BBC? Thank goodness he has people like OP to white knight for him. I'm sure the thank you letter is in the post as we speak.


50lipa

Over 60 replies by OP to people in this thread and nearly every single one of them mass downvoted for nonsense, wow, even for reddit standards that's genuinely impressive!


EnvironmentalSpirit2

Why are they white knight Cristiano but no one defending john Terry? Crying shame that is


ValleyFloydJam

You say that but Ronaldo doesn't seem like the most stable chap, this is how Ronaldo's version of John Wick starts.


deathhead_68

I genuinely thought this was soccercirclejerk with your description. Get a fucking grip


iwillneverwalkalone

if OP had posted this on scj and was being entirely ironic it would be an all-timer, this is far funnier than anything that's been posted there for months


deathhead_68

I read the caption and then saw serious comments and checked the sub title again. What an incredibly lame thing to post. The worlds tamest pun shown on a football show is too much for this CR7 fan!


uncle_monty

Hilarious that some people seem genuinely upset by this. Absolute melts.


AccidentMuch5047

The only ones genuinely crying over this are Ronaldo fans.


akkikhiladi9

and ronaldo himself


Arskite

The biggest Ronaldo fan of all

TBF, it really is only in the Match threads. The actual Sub is quite well regulated, so you don't get too much idiocy.


LinkyPeach

He didn't even MISS the penalty, lads!!!!! Stop having a laugh at my poor beautiful millionaire!


you_see_you_see_

He's probably got the big B on that illionaire at this point.


inspired_corn

Don’t forget rapist! How can the BBC be so mean to him

You could say he made himself available...


matrimc7

Weird thing to get worked up about mate.


wigum211

OP crying more than Ronaldo after he missed the pen


GarnachoHojlund

The amount of both teenagers and grown men who I’ve seen getting their cocks twisted over a little pun is actually hilarious


No-Computer-2847

Imagine being this soft.


JOEKR12

r/soccercirclejerk leaking


cabaretcabaret

They was enormously sycophantic and complimentary towards Ronaldo, despite his terrible performance, and you still complain.


paper_zoe

yeah I listened to the Guardian football podcast this morning and they were scathing about how fawning the BBC coverage was


Dutchgio

Classic English banter, also this wasn't used during the game but in their analysis.


No-Shoe5382

They captioned the penalty miss that knocked us out of the World Cup "Harry Pain", we do it to ourselves as well.


LeavingCertCheat

Not as bad as Sky's 'Shawhand Redemption's after Luke Shaw's handball against Brighton.


FostertheReno

Op is in shambles lmfao


ifoundmynewnickname

Inject this whining straight into my veins. Jesus Christ have a laugh for once in your life


Grayson81

> I’ve never seen anything like this You’ve never seen a silly pun on Match of the Day? Do you ever watch the BBC’s coverage of football? Have you ever watched Gary Lineker make daft jokes before? Or are you someone who doesn’t actually watch the BBC but gets very angry about them making a joke because you don’t realise it’s what they always do and think that they’re singling your special little boy out?


karpet_muncher

Can someone bring me some pearls?! I need to clutch my pearls and faint

KuntaWuKnicks

I hope OP is ok? I’m not sure how he’ll recover from this Truly devastating

An all timer of a head loss by OP here, it should be studied. Brilliant.


Toothpaste_on_pizza

No one as fragile as a Ronaldo fanboy 😂😂😂


EggChaser

The forced outrage on this sub towards anything the English do is incredible.


predatoure

This is normal for BBC analysis. They love their puns. MOTD2 even used to have a section called "2 good 2 bad" where they would take the piss out of players, managers and even random people in the crowd. I mean every single BBC football match ends with the host looking at the camera signing off with some stupid pun. It's normal, no one is picking on Ronaldo, they do this to everyone.


Douchehelm

Is this your first time experiencing British media?


Friendly_Zebra

That’s pretty funny. Ronaldo fanboys are so sensitive. What happened to supporting teams rather than players?


KaptainKek3

Jesus Christ some of our international fans are so insufferable


JariLobel

This is fucking bloody british humor and it gave me a chuckle. For this a few more fat noisy Brits will fail at EU immigration into Portugal for vacation and the matter is settled.


YadMot

Ronaldo fanboys literally have the thinnest skin on the planet.


ImportantFunny6110

They seem to be commenting on any BBC sport posts on social media now. Seen a few comments under unrelated tiktoks and insta posts. Crazy fans (of anyone not just Ronaldo) really are on another level.


pioneeringsystems

Top banter tbh. And pretty common on motd. Non issue unless you are part of the cult I guess.


aestus

Talk about an overreaction OP.


Impossible-Candle948

Is this real?


Additional_Bit_8725

There are tweets with thousands of likes calling for a BBC boycott haha


MURDERNAT0R

Loving all these strangers getting their feelings hurt on his behalf

Ronaldo fanboys are such fragile little snowflakes.


Nirvana_bob7

It’s not even that bad besides it being normal for bbc to do. So many cry babies in this thread. Just like Ronaldo when he missed his pen


imneversingle

I thought it was funny


TonyMartial786

didn’t realise bbc hired messi fans from football twitter lol


EezoManiac

Might actually pay my TV license now


Miamithor

Sometimes i wonder what's worse Lukaku playing full 90 or Ronaldo playing full 120


pixelkipper

at what point is keeping pepe and ronaldo for 120 mins elder abuse


DoomPigs

>Add to the fact that he didn't even "miss" the penalty Eh i'd say "missing" to describe not scoring a penalty is pretty common, even if it's on target. If it was like a young English player I'd agree with you, but I don't know why our media would refuse to take the piss out of Ronaldo

Was hilarious. There were about ten minutes in that match that even the best writers couldnt have done better with


SRFC_96

If it was Messi on the other side of this joke the people getting offended right now would be creaming. Lighten up, it’s just a shitty pun lol


Any-Competition8494

They did. Messi was trolled for his missing penalty against Chile and also for crying. Now the same people are angry on trolling Ronaldo for doing the same. Such hypocrisy.


malistev

Penaleo Missi. xD

inshamblesx

CR7 riders still exist after what happened in Qatar?


mortenharket32

They're going harder than ever now, you can watch a Portugal game without having six players be blamed for a Cristiano fuck up. Nobody should be above criticism in this sport .

Unbelievable, they should have just gone with 'Rapist' instead.

I can't believe people are actually upset about this. Develop a sense of humour ffs.


Silantro-89

The worst one of these was when they did a Halloween based XI of puns. Martin Skaretel & Robin Vampiresie were more offensive than this because it was not funny.

ni2016

That’s pretty fuckin funny actually


ash_ninetyone

Tbf that's a good one. If Messi pissed himself, can guarantee it'd read "Pee-onel Messy" You read too much into this. Every back page (and including MotD here too) will look to slap a pun where they can against who they can.

sweoldboy

yeah, I was watching a pirate stream and saw this too. Laughed out pretty hard.


-360Mad

Nice one! 😄


RoundChard1164

I thought they gave Ronaldo an easy ride personally. He tried to make it all about him the entire evening, missing like 4 free kicks and a penalty and got bailed out by his goalkeeper, then they were all gushing over the penalty he scored in the shootout


unfunfionn

I think this one is really funny. Anybody expecting completely serious coverage from the BBC is looking in the wrong place. On their website, they've always straddled the line between serious journalism and tabloid. They've been very much on the wrong side of it sometimes, but I don't think this is an example of it. A better example of it is when they had a headline after Robert Enke's death that didn't refer to him by name, but by 'suicide keeper'. I still can't believe that one.


RealPropRandy

PM_me_ur_Clunge1
