The bloke hit a new low in my eyes last night. It was awkward & difficult to listen to.

I would imagine the Kleenex sales are very good in his local shop.

The drop goal hitting the posts...hmmm

That Sims incident was disgraceful, almost as bad as Chris Bridge at Huddersfield 2012. Straight red and an eight game ban.

The most annoying thing they do is when they just waffle on about things completely unrelated such as spending 30 seconds talking about steve buying a bike. At least once a game this happens

good question and I have been asking myself the same for a couple of weeks now. Does anyone know?

I've always rated John Kear as a commentator

I only ask for 3 things in life

1. World peace
2. Susanna Reid
3. The red button option for "crowd noise only" for televised sports. I'm sick to the t1ts of biased commentators/pundits in any sport

gonna disagree with number 2..as nice as she is...beccy meehan who accasionally reads the north west news..agree with 1 and 3 tho

To Specsavers with you M'lud, and damned your ignorance

If I could replace one thing on Sky's coverage it would be to have a split screen for replays during the game, so that when they insist on showing a replay while the ball is still in play you can at least see what's going on rather than having to try to work out from the noise of the crowd what might be happening. I really can't understand why they don't do that - the broadcaster who covered the Four Nations last year (not sure if the BBC was the actual broadcaster as opposed to taking pictures) did it.

bbc probably, they used to be fecking terrible for that during CC matches
