The goal of the month has been around for 50 years, generations have grown up with it and have had happy hours to thank for it. In the traditional TV channel ARD, the goal of the month is an eternally young traditional product, but one could still think about adapting it to today’s needs and today’s football. It is not about turning the goal of the month into a Saturday evening show that is broadcast from the Böblingen multi-purpose hall with Tingeltangel guests from the show business, either routinely moderated by Alexander Bommes or with the educational world improvement claim by Eckhardt von Hirschhausen.
Basically, a transfer to the entertainment program is not desirable, it would devalue the essential character of the topic. An independent program in magazine style, in which the political and socio-cultural background of a Sunday shot is discussed in a journalistically correct manner, would also be too much of a good thing.
How about the introduction of the no-goal of the month?
It is undisputed that the audience cannot get enough goals. Therefore, for example, you could include a current goal of the day in the program and this from Monday to Sunday at the beginning of the daily News send. Alternatively, it is conceivable to distribute the hits made available for selection – which should then also take into account regional leagues and schoolyard kicks – between the news blocks. That would add variety to the dreary news program and people would stick with it until the end. Additional effect: the winner of the day would be in the Daily Topics chosen, that would bring quota.
That it just logically a Goal of the month and only a Can give goal of the year seems to stand in the way of an expansion of the program scheme. However, the most recent weekend in the Bundesliga showed a solution. On the pitches in Cologne and Bremen there were more beautiful goals that were denied by the referees than legitimate goals in all games in the two leagues.
The fact that goals that are not allowed to be goals have enjoyed enormous popularity for years is the effect of their big brother VAR, who never misses the tip of their nose sticking out of the way. The introduction of the non-goal of the month would therefore be an innovative opportunity for ARD. The Darknet offers itself as a trial slot.
