Match of the Day is here to stay (and it's getting a Brucie bonus midweek show)

More Lineker for everybody.

IF THEREโ€™S ONE thing we like more than Match of the Day, itโ€™s a bonus midweek Match of the Day on a Wednesday night.

Alongside the news that the beloved football highlights show has been renewed until 2019, the BBC announced a new midweek show which will begin next season.

The new three-year deal cost ยฃ240 million, the Guardian reports. ITV, who poached the weekly highlights package from 2001-2004, did not bid for the rights.

Match of the Day, which is celebrating its 50th year, is โ€œthe most iconic brand in television sport,โ€ BBC Sportโ€™s director Barbara Slater said.

The new midweek show, which is slated to air at 10pm on BBC 2 each Wednesday, will reflect โ€the continued appetite for Premier League action and analysisโ€.

Is it the most worrying season yet for Irish Premier League players?
