The BBC needs a kick up the backside.

I watched the news at 6.00pm and no mention of the CC games whatsoever,bloody useless.

Only gripe from me was the frequent breaking away from the live action to an irrelevant shot of one of the coaches and the obsession with Roy Keane.

does anyone know if there will be any highlights of the non televised games?

Genuinely shows how utterly useless Hemmings and Stevo really are.Surely Sky must see the benefit of separating the presenters studio role,from that of commentator and having two experts in the studio with just one analyst doing the commentary,rather than having four people in the commentary box,each trying to justify their presence.

Or at 10pm. It was the one sport they had the rights to show, and which had earlier been on the BBC apart from the GP (which of course they lead with). Then we had Cricket (pictures from Sky), Scottish Football (pictures from ESPN), Cycling (pictures from Eurosport) and then Boxing from nearly 24 hours previous (pictures from an obscure US TV Channel), before signing off with a brief mention about swimming (no pictures). Another triumph from the BBC. There's your licence fee at work!

Some shocking camera work from the Beeb!

I hate to break this to you, but all of those events will have had a much wider public interest than the quarter finals of the Challenge Cup.

The BBC are simply showing what they think is going to appeal to the widest possible audience within the time constraints of their sports bulletins.

Commentary team were miles better than sky but Claire Baldwin should have been in the studio.

who???

i thought it was a good improvement from the beeb, but RF surely has had his day now. leaguie legend, but its time to put him in the studio as "expert" at the very best. he should not be commentating this now, the beeb have many more better in their ranks on the radio

Really? More people in the UK are interested in knowing which rider won the Tour de France than the Challenge Cup Semi Finals?

I wonder how many people on the streets across the UK could name the winner of the Tour this morning – I bet a fair few more would be able to tell you who are in the semi’s of our cup

Agreed.

you'd be wrong with that
