Rev Algenon Stickleback HFiNeRaIn Big mike sounds like a bit of a tarrier, but to be fair he's making a few points I agree with and its easy to see why a lot of people get annoyed. British Broadcasting is not ENGLISH broadcasting, it should also be catering to the " sweaties, taffs and micks" as you put it. If we base a government on not offending a minority of muslims or ignoring our society rules and allowing them to wear burkas and build mosque's with our money...why can't we cater to people who have spent generations in britain with a bit more neutrality and acceptance that they want fair coverage of the world cup?
How do you propose we cater for the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish at this world cup? Bring on Jim Bowen and have him say "Lads, look, he's what you could have won"?

Appearence money and other bonuses can then be added.

Clarence Seedorf was in the BBC studio for the Italy versus Paraguay match and he was making a point about the positive impact an Italian substitute had made on the game. He was referring to Antonio Di Natale, winner of more than 30 caps for the Azzurri and the leading goalscorer in Serie A in the season just gone, but Seedorf couldn't remember his name. Hadn't a clue. Neither did the blokes alongside him, Hansen among them. "He was the No 10," said a smiling Seedorf, who then reached for a team-sheet on the desk for help before realising that it was the Dutch team-sheet. "That's no use," he laughed.

A speedboat ?!
I think really the issue is not the amount of England coverage but lack of coverage of the actual games being televised, but that's all been discussed and the quality of punditry criticized en masse elsewhere.

FiNeRaIn It wasn't meant in a serious context, but there are parallels. If you build a multicultural society you take the needs of everyone involved into it and try and be as fair as possible. Welsh, scots and Ulstermen do not want to hear about what the England team had for breakfast when they are tuning in to watch Usa Vs Ghana, do they? Tbh, neither do I because the England set up is such a cringe worthy joke its embarrassing.

PEARCEY Just watched The Bobby Moore Story on ESPN Classic. Very good and moving...had me in tears. What a tragedy that England's finest was treated so shabbily in his latter years. Surely for many football fans the picture of Pele and Moore smiling at each other as they exchanged shirts in utter and complete mutual respect after that brilliant game in the 1970 World Cup Finals is one to cherish.
He died too young.

Rev Algenon Stickleback H 1) not being able to talk about games without a strong premier/champions league presence in terms of the players out there.
2) not being interested in talking about games without a strong premier/champions league presence in terms of the players out there.
3) not believing the viewing public wants to see them talk about games without a strong premier/champions league presence in terms of the players out there.

What's the problem with this? Fair enough if they're away from home for a month I'd say.
Wouldn't your company provide similar?

Yes, as tools to do the job I'm employed to do. They wouldn't leave me a football, an iPod or a PS3. Answers on a postcard for how an xbox will improve an England players performance.
