    Unwatchable

    Football focus? This drivel is more 'diverse' 'thought provoking' touchy feely Guardian readers tripe. Now what would be good would be a programme concentrating on what's going on in the game, looking at upcoming games and tactics with some scuttlebut about what's happening re possible team changes, performances and insights into the teams. I'm not interested in what music the players like, how they cope with the hideous racism that is apparently so rife (on twitter?) that these humungously well paid and hero worshipped 'stars' so bravely combat by taking the knee and caring for their mental health.

    I no longer waste my time with this dross. Would rate it zero stars if I could.

    Gone downhill

    Typical BBC, program now focusing more on box ticking then producing a good quality program, shame as was a must watch Saturday afternoon viewing. Hopefully they will fix it before it disappears all together.

    What a load of rubbish

    Footy Focus has zero content of interest for a football fan and the choice of Alex Scott to take over from Dan Walker is typical of the BBC's political beauty competition. Look how the global Dr Who figures have declined since Jodie Whittaker took over!!!! What a load of rubbish FF is now. The BBC has ruined a once great show. Their overall viewing figures are in decline and that is no surprise considering the mess they're in. Too many lazy fat cats chowing down on big salaries .... overpaid, overstaffed and underworked!!! The quicker and the sooner the BBC is disbanded the better. Stop wasting my license fee!!!!!

    Typical BBC

    Used to be essential viewing on a Saturday lunchtime before heading off to watch my team. It used to cover the forthcoming games as well as reports from the previous week's games.

    Now...it focuses on issues that only a small minority are interested in. Feels more like a feature section from The Guardian newspaper.

    Rubbish Tv

    No wonder Football Focus is loosing viewers hand over fist it's Incredible that the show is an hour long and they manage to cram in literally nothing of any interest. It used to be boring, now it's fluff and boring. Football Focus has turned into a self promoting chat show for the presenter. Either get back to covering the days matches and concentrate on football or take it of air.

    I expect the BBC will no doubt come up with the excuse that falling viewing figures is due to people watching Netflix and other platforms but if they concentrated on what the program is supposedly all about and stopped broadcasting the present rubbish and got a new presenter viewing figures would improve.
