This is an interesting perspective that most people might not have thought of about having MOTD commentary-free.

But how useful is a TV commentary to a blind person? Wouldn't the radio coverage be better?

Maybe they should add the radio commentary on the AD channel as a matter of course?

That’s a good idea. Presumably TV commentary is more useful than nothing at all though. They’d at least get to know the score, the scorers etc. Indeed perhaps some of the people in question will be able to see somethings and commentary just gives an extra bit of insight.

Neil Oliver joining a different organisation years after filming the series and sharing views you personally disagree with doesn't automatically cause Coast to become disgusting taboo content which must never see airtime again.

It’s the irony of it all. Football programming loses airtime effectively because of Lineker’s suspension and they replace it with a programme presented by a personality who’s much more vocal and controversial in some of their political views. 

I agree it probably was a default option rather than some plot. But the irony is there. And it highlights the inconsistencies. As far as the viewer is concerned they’re watching Neil Oliver work for the BBC.
