BBC On-field Commentary : Thu Jun 20, 2019 8:44 pm  

While I appreciate the BBC doesn't always receive positive plaudits when it comes to their Challenge Cup commentary, I was just wondering how you feel about their on-field commentary during live play and how they catch players going in at Half Time?

While I have no real issue with their commentary style, I do find it somewhat disrespectful when players are trying to do a job and focus. Where in my view the rugby should do the talking on the pitch rather than the commentators! Gotta admit I'd personally be a lot more happier if they kept their commentaries and interviews so they are before and after the match.

Do you find it interferes unnecessarily?

I think when they are walking off for half time is fine.

Interviewing after tries just isn’t right though. I think they only did it a few times and it got dropped, I’m sure players and coaches would have complained.

I just find Robbie Paul annoying when he's on the pitch trying to catch a very quick pointless word with a player who is not really interested.

Even though its a waste of time, Im always impressed by the players being interviewed at HT. After effing and jeffing on the field for 40 mins it must take a lot of self constraint to not swear on camera.

Did I read somewhere that they were told to stay away from our team.
