If Terence O'Connor were to be knighted, for example (say for services to rugby union), he would be knighted as Sir Terence, not Sir Terry. Sir Terry would be just silly. I believe in giving him the minimum respect he deserves.'"
Silly? I Don't think so try googling Sir Terence Wogan, Farrell or Leahy as a starter for three

32137_1302980312.jpg Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

| If you think Sky is bad, well I had the misfortune of having to listen to BBC online on a trip back up the M5 and M6.
It got to point where I was waiting for them to make the next blunder which was entertaining in a perverse kind of way

| Blunders aside, Angela's post match interviews are an absolute atrocity too. She asks the most long winded questions, that could have been asked in about 5 words, and also has a habit of asking the question, answering it herself and then asking the same question again - and it's usually a pretty pointless and bland question that is obviously going to lead to a cliche answer and gives the viewer nothing. Something like;
'That looked like a really tough match, a battle of the forwards, how do you assess the performance on your forwards, you must be really pleased with their effort, their defence was terrific and they certainly set a platform for you in attack, so how do you assess their performance?'
To which the player will awkwardly answer 'Yeah, it was a really tough game, credit to all our lads, our forwards were great, really set a platform for us.'
It's cringeworthy stuff - it's like she's telling them how they need to answer the question and just doesn't give the viewer any insight or better understanding of what they be just seen.

| I generally don't bother watching whatever is being served by Sky at the half time break.

Edward Hemmings is a game caller, not a commentator.
But in any case I like listening to Edward, and seeing him on the rare occasions that his face is shown, because he is a distinguished looking man with a good head of hair.
