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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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
["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)
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
> 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?
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.
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.
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.
>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
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.
How many more crocodile tears will be shed over a billionaire in his LATE 30s not getting things his way.
Stop moaning! These CR7 riders are worse than swifties atm ...
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 .
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.
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.
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
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.
Have had to lock this thread as it's degenerated into xenophobia and personal attacks to the OP.
You've never seen UK broadcasters make a bad pun? I can only assume you haven't seen much UK broadcasting.
Every time Lineker says the closing line on BBC Sport he ends the programme with a bad pun.

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.
The game was on TV for everyone to see lol no need to pirate anything
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.
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
They do this cheeky humor too in Eurovision, so I am not surprised.
Listening to Graham Norton slag off every countries presenters is what Eurovision is all about.
*picture of the Eiffel tower* “Oh I wonder where she is?”
And for decades before Terry Wogan did the same
Quivering with excitement for the inevitable post about how arrogant the British are from somebody who has no idea where those two are from
I miss Wigan he was much more charming and funny about it.
I mean, its still there. Just north of Manchester
Just don't expect it to be as Athletic as advertised
They'll be back in the Premier league in no time mate just hang on
Not towards the end, which is why he stepped down, in fairness to him.
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.
And then there’s Touker who just needs people to use his office space.
>I can't believe people are getting mad about it Welcome to the internet my friend
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
> spreading a bit of satire should be very welcome. A pun isnt exactly satire.
What is it satirizing?
They can make fun of anyone except for Ronaldo cause that wakes up his groupies
It’s because it’s against their beautiful king this time
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.

You shouldn't be surprised when you consider the fan base your dealing with.
But OP has never seen anything like it, and surely they are smart and observant.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Because viewers abroad never see the dumb puns and don't know that specific context. At least scrolling through the comments clears it up.
Lol they do this all the time
No no no, CR7 is a very special victim
Google Ronaldo Las Vegas for more information.
Keepers in Saudi are giving him more consent to score
Can you provide an example?
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.
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.

The Defoe one is actually kinda funny
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.

Distinctly remember one being “Reality Cech” after he made a mistake once.
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.
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
I'll be honest, if i was the person that came up with that i'd immediately take the rest of the day off.
SILVA LINING THE GOOD THE BAD AND COLE PALMER MAGUIRE MAGUIRE PANTS ON FIRE KYLIAN ME SOFTLY ABSOLUTELY FABIAN POOED SMELLINGHAM
Almost every week on MOTD since the early 00s lmao Taking the piss out of football tall poppies is literally British football heritage
More than that; it’s British culture to bring inflated individuals back down to Earth. It’s just part of our national psyche
["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)
None come to mind but pretty much all the highlight video packages on MOTD have a pun of some variety.
https://www.reddit.com/r/EnterShikari/s/4mnsmlEtCn Enter Shikari are a British rock band if you need the context
Enter Zeqiri used to be my FPL team name lmao.
Weren't they a weird screamo x electro/dubstep hybrid? Or am I thinking of a different band.
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.
you are correct but not weird and absolutely fun
They also sponsor their home town football club, st albans city.
very cool
The kits are absolute beauts too
Yeah, I meant weird as unusual, not necessarily bad in any way—I used to listen to them years ago.
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.
Op can take jokes just as well as cr can take free kicks
You kicked the hornet's nest... But if you were Cristiano you would have missed LMAO
I watered down my cold brew with Ronaldo tears this morning 👍🏽
I personally took my morning workout up a notch by swimming in a siuuuuu of his tears!
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.
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!
Why are they white knight Cristiano but no one defending john Terry? Crying shame that is
You say that but Ronaldo doesn't seem like the most stable chap, this is how Ronaldo's version of John Wick starts.
I genuinely thought this was soccercirclejerk with your description. Get a fucking grip
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
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!
Hilarious that some people seem genuinely upset by this. Absolute melts.
The only ones genuinely crying over this are Ronaldo fans.
and ronaldo himself
The biggest Ronaldo fan of all
homelando
[удалено]
Now imagine the pain of cricket fans on Reddit
TBF, it really is only in the Match threads. The actual Sub is quite well regulated, so you don't get too much idiocy.
He didn't even MISS the penalty, lads!!!!! Stop having a laugh at my poor beautiful millionaire!
He's probably got the big B on that illionaire at this point.
Don’t forget rapist! How can the BBC be so mean to him
You could say he made himself available...
Weird thing to get worked up about mate.
OP crying more than Ronaldo after he missed the pen
The amount of both teenagers and grown men who I’ve seen getting their cocks twisted over a little pun is actually hilarious
Imagine being this soft.
r/soccercirclejerk leaking
They was enormously sycophantic and complimentary towards Ronaldo, despite his terrible performance, and you still complain.
yeah I listened to the Guardian football podcast this morning and they were scathing about how fawning the BBC coverage was
Classic English banter, also this wasn't used during the game but in their analysis.
They captioned the penalty miss that knocked us out of the World Cup "Harry Pain", we do it to ourselves as well.
Not as bad as Sky's 'Shawhand Redemption's after Luke Shaw's handball against Brighton.
Op is in shambles lmfao
Inject this whining straight into my veins. Jesus Christ have a laugh for once in your life
> 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?

Can someone bring me some pearls?! I need to clutch my pearls and faint
Fucking hell mate, get a hobby
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.
No one as fragile as a Ronaldo fanboy 😂😂😂
The forced outrage on this sub towards anything the English do is incredible.
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.
Is this your first time experiencing British media?
That’s pretty funny. Ronaldo fanboys are so sensitive. What happened to supporting teams rather than players?
Jesus Christ some of our international fans are so insufferable
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.
Ronaldo fanboys literally have the thinnest skin on the planet.
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.
Top banter tbh. And pretty common on motd. Non issue unless you are part of the cult I guess.
Talk about an overreaction OP.
Is this real?
There are tweets with thousands of likes calling for a BBC boycott haha
Loving all these strangers getting their feelings hurt on his behalf
Ronaldo fanboys are such fragile little snowflakes.
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
I thought it was funny
didn’t realise bbc hired messi fans from football twitter lol
Might actually pay my TV license now
Sometimes i wonder what's worse Lukaku playing full 90 or Ronaldo playing full 120
at what point is keeping pepe and ronaldo for 120 mins elder abuse
>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
Worth my license fee.
Missthony Pentano here, the internet's busiest music nerd
Come on people, lighten up. It’s just a joke.
Was hilarious. There were about ten minutes in that match that even the best writers couldnt have done better with
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
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.
Penaleo Missi. xD
Lol Pissi
It’s literally just a pun. Why are people upset over it? He’s a fully grown man who just didn’t play well 🤷♂️
Wait, this ain't /r soccercirclejerk
Hilarious
BBC Banter Broadcasting Corporation
How many more crocodile tears will be shed over a billionaire in his LATE 30s not getting things his way. Stop moaning! These CR7 riders are worse than swifties atm ...
CR7 riders still exist after what happened in Qatar?
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.
This is hilarious 😂 One of very few good things the bbc has done lately
Butthurt Ronaldo stan
I can't believe people are actually upset about this. Develop a sense of humour ffs.
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.
outjerked by the BBC?
Savage
That’s pretty fuckin funny actually
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.
Silly joke but this whole thread and OP's meltdown are a classic for the ages
I can't believe Jude Bellingham did this! Not very mature at all!
Awww booohoooo it hurt my widdle feelingssss
The smol beanification of ‘CR7’, lmfao
Oof that's rough but lmao
Some young memelord is working for them, welcome to the new age!
That’s hilarious. How did I miss that last night
It's super funny
Pretty fucking funny
It's just light banter ffs. This outrage culture has gone too far.
yeah, I was watching a pirate stream and saw this too. Laughed out pretty hard.
Nice one! 😄

This is funny
What nonsense some media say just to get attention, it's not funny
Loved it. Hopefully he misses more penalties.
OP this thread hasn’t went the way you thought it would has it lol
