Match of the Day viewers reported that the programme's audio was out of sync with the live BBC One broadcast during Saturday's show on November 7. Social media was flooded with complaints from football fans who spotted the issue.
Viewers report audio problems
One supporter posted on X: "Is my tele broke or am I going mad, is all the speech out of sync with the faces on Match of the Day?" Another responded: "Think they have fixed it now, it was just out but unnerving."
A third remarked: "I thought it was my TV, switched channel about 3 times to see if I could sort it!" Someone else stated: "Thank f*** for that - I've had the telly off at the mains, broadband off, Sky off... and it turns out it's not just me," reports the Mirror.
Problem quickly resolved
The confusion continued as another viewer posted: "Glad it's not just me. Thought I'd had one too many." Someone else revealed: "Came here looking for this - sound and pic definitely not in sync. Quite disconcerting."
A seventh viewer noted: "Difficult watching #MOTD the words are out of sync with their mouths. Have they just fixed it as Guy Mowbray's voice just jumped. I'm just speaking out loud here. Carry on." It appears the problem was swiftly rectified, with fans soon able to watch the remainder of the programme. The Express has contacted the BBC for comment.
Presenting team covers Premier League fixtures
Gabby Logan returned to the BBC studio at the weekend, as highlights of the Premier League's afternoon fixtures were broadcast. She was accompanied by Steph Houghton and Danny Murphy.
The presenting trio covered five matches, including those involving the top two sides in the Premier League standings. Champions Arsenal welcomed Hull to the Emirates, while Manchester City faced a trip to Nottingham Forest. Elsewhere, Spurs travelled to Leeds, while Fulham played host to Newcastle. Footage from Friday evening's encounter, which saw Coventry manager Frank Lampard return to his former club Everton, was also featured.
Discussing Nottingham Forest's victory over Manchester City later in the programme, Gabby said: "That was a great game, wasn't it? It has been a tough start for Oliver Glasner's side, but they didn't look like a team that was low on confidence."
Danny responded: "They didn't. It was a wonderful all-round performance. There was endeavour without the ball, quality with it, and [the] end product that [Liam] Delap was talking about there. They have actually been playing quite well and their points tally doesn't reflect the level of their performances, but I think this could be a huge turning point for Glasner and his players. The place was rocking, the fans were back on board, and, as I said, the level of the performance all round, collectively and individually, was top draw."
Match of the Day is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
