NormanH Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I tried watching some of the first match, but as always on French TV the commentary is so blatantly biassed (talk of 'us' rather than 'the French team' for example) that it was unwatchable.

Rabbie Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 unfortunately that is also becoming a feature of British commentary. The last commentator who get things neutral was the late great Bill Maclaren whose rugby matches were a fine example of how they should be. Who can forget his "there's a wee bit argy-bargy going on" but you could never tell who he favoured from his remarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 As I remember, the game of football was originally invented to keep the yobs of that time off the street ..... I hate it too - nothing but football, football, football, no matter which channel you try - instead of our nice relaxing regular Sunday evening viewing, just when all I wanted to do was collapse in front of the TV for one night.I do not see why all the channels should be so afflicted - couldn't they leave something else for the un-interesteds to watch?

idun Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 [:D] Don't know whether they still do it, but years ago during say the world cup, the cinemas used to offer cheaper seats for ladies who didn't like football.Is that right? that That more men watch than women? My friends husband sits and watches and claps when he considers something good has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupagirl Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Him Indoors is bereft. He would like nothing better than an earnest manly discussion about the flat-pack-four and the back-side rule, but here deep in rugby land if he so much as mentions the football they look at him as if he has lost the plot. So all he's got is me, and because we are originally from deepest football land I have to confess to a bit of interest but this wall-to-wall every day football is driving me to distraction.
