Just finished. From announcing 'that's all for sport' to 2 apparent legends he'd never heard of called Billy Boston and Eddie Waring, a shambles of a draw including a team called Wokington, and straight on to sewing. Never heard anything so amateurish in my life.

Not worried really by that.

Rovers won't be as bad as last time, but it's all down to us - if we play like we can do then we'll win.

Nearly drew town twice vs KR and Widnes, they realised the mistake luckily though.

Your game and the Giants vs Leeds are the two stand outs, Kr wont want another thrashing.

Quote: fleabag "It sounded like they were all drunk.'"


Sounded like they just wanted it over with as quickly as possible.

There was no real introduction to what was happening and no explanation as to who Billy Boston is.

Bacon has no interest in anything beyond himself, so it came as no surprise to me that this was a complete farce. Put a formal complaint into the BBC if you're that energised by it, but from past experience with that lot, it won't make a blind bit of difference as they're more concerned with Yawnion & Wendyball to pay anything more than lip-service to League.

What's more of a problem is the numpties at the RFL (who, let's not forget, have an office in Media City, next to the 5Live studios) who thought it'd be a good idea to do the draw in the middle of the afternoon with a presenter who's on record as saying that he doesn't care about team sports of any persuasion.

Quote: Pie Eyed "I'm firking steaming after that joke of a draw.

Bacon's a clown and turned the whole thing in to a farce.

Any wonder we're a fecking laughing stock as a sport?'"


How embarrassed must Billy Boston be. A true legend of the game having to share space with BBC idiots.

Am I the only one dissappointed with KR away? The worst ground in the league 2 and a half hours away. I have the weekend off work so I was really looking forward to a good draw. If it's on TV I'll contemplate not going.

Let the BBC know.

Respect for Billy Boston and the Rugby League Challenge Cup. That was insulting.

He's got a lot of stick on twitter. So has George Reilly for defending him. The BBC are a joke.

I've just complained to them. That was disgraceful.

When they played the commentary 'clip', Bacon said it was from the 1961 cup final....Wigan v Leeds d040.gif
