Robbie Fowler in the dog house

[lancs blue]

I wonder if he would have gotten stick if he would have referred to "handbags"???

That's the end of Brian Moore then.

Commentary from the grave would have been a novel touch.

the bbc are obsessed with womens football at the moment, pushing it every chance they , tryin to convince us all lts great and showing live games when really its piss poor.

Considering the fact that they and England are years behind a lot of other countries like Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Germany etc due to a lot of sexism in the game and have only just become fully professional, I don't think that should be a surprise to anybody, I don't watch women's football but its the 21st century, and you can't deny the success the Women's League/England ladies has had since the Olympics, I mean they got great numbers in the gate at Fratton Park last night, nowt wrong with it and fair play to'em, don't like don't watch.

Ridiculous by the BBC, pandering to the PC brigade. Next they'll be telling us how many ethnic minorities they employ again.

I think Fowler got it spot on, the scratching of the face and the clutching the face were embarrassing and it's all very girly

Yup I'm finding BBC sport very poor at the moment. They introduced a new 15 minute programme yesterday afternoon called 'sports day'. The whole show was focused on women's sport and they included a piece on Heather Mills participating in the Winter Paralympics. Heather fucking Mills a skier!

What Fowler said is nothing compared to the balls ups made by the Newsnight team over the past year.

Whilst sky news is pretty much a TV version of a tabloid newspaper at least their breaking news is pretty dam quick. I know BBC news want to get things right but they seem slow all the time to react to any breaking news.

televising games of such poor quality with crowds barely reaching into the hundreds

be still my beating heart

No it wasn't.

The BBC's sports coverage was always superb.

Couldn't be any worse than John ''motty'' Motson or Clive ''that night in Barcelona'' Tyldesley.

What angers me is the lack of bids for bugger live games. BBC are spineless with sport. They'd rather give Gayem Norton a big fat salary than get a decent panel on motd or bid for the whole F1 season.
