Question of Sport

Lord God Sir Captain Major Mo "Drugs Please" Farah v Sir Bagley Druggins OBE TUE

Much lol

[beingsoblase]

Is this still going? I thought it finished sometime in the late 80's.

[Sid Pervcat]

It did.
Nobody told the BBC though.

You've got to love Zambo's favourite paper. This is headlines, yes headlines, and the nation is apparently outraged
They really are BBC obsessed.

The gammon rage is hilarious.

TV shows turn over their cast / presenters all the time

The gammon objection seems to be because white men / woman are (possibly) being replaced by black men / woman

They've also included photos of Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas to whip their readership up into a fury, and it's worked, judging by the oh-so-tolerant comments

Why do that when it leads to those people to cancel their licence fees. People do not need to watch live tv anymore.
They've worked out that television ownership does not equate to the need for a licence and the word is spreading like wildfire.
So keep winding up the Gammons, BBC. You will be digging your own grave.

Indeed, and the they should tell shite old Sue to fuck off and replace her with Idris Elba. The dude's a don.

Lewis Hamilton and Serena Williams will be retiring soon and they could do with the appearance money.

So they're trying to appeal to a younger audience in a show which has barely changed its format since 1970?

They should get James Hunt and Barry Sheene in as captains, have them ride into the studio on Raleigh choppers,the first round is decided by a game of crossfire, the second round is top trumps, the third round is a game of pong, the mystery "sportsman" can be any surving members of Slade, mud, the rubettes, sweet, bay city rollers, the osmonds, and shawaddywaddy, hosted by Stephen mulhearne.

If that isn't down with the kids I don't know what is!

I've mentioned this many times, but some people refuse to accept it.
The DM has a clear agenda to knock the BBC at any opportunity.
The classic example is the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand/Andrew Sachs story – they wrote about that every day for about a year.
They didn't actually give a shit about Andrew Sachs, but he was the perfect prop for the DM to attack the Beeb.
And when Sachs died, in his obit, they even referenced the incident in the intro! Shameless.

Since Paul Dacre has left, they've toned it down a bit, but any opportunity they get, they go steaming in. And surprise, surprise, DM readers start to believe it and slowly public opinion is turned.

I don't remember the cries of ageism when Barker replaced David Coleman.
People present shows for 10-20 years and they get replaced; what's the big deal?

Get Emlyn Hughes and Bill Beaumont back, then dig dear old David Coleman up. QoS has never been the same since those epic days.

Speaking of digging up, owzabout Jimmy "Jimbo" Saville (featuring his mascot THE DUCHESS) versus Esther "I DID NOT SEEEE EEET" Ranthzen?

Exactly. These three are the longest serving I think so they have had a really good run.
