You have to be concerned when the co-commentator believes unchallenged dropped balls are because of social distancing.

But close to the end she produced a classic line about what West Ham could do. She said: "They might as well try to equalise". Now that is inspirational stuff.

That was on a par with suggesting they should take our players out. 'Just foul them!'

I didn’t think we could get worse than BT last week with Karen but these two for BBC are just as bad. Currently sat here watching the game on mute. Just talk s**t for the sake of talking.
Sooner we are allowed back on the Turf the better....

When we had the drinks break they were harping on about the game restarting with a corner for us,even me with me dodgy eyes saw it go for a throw,they went to to studio and big ears started harping on about this non existence corner,obviously not one of them had a clue are they even watching...come back Karen we forgive you...abysmal.

Not as good as the BT West Ham commentary but having Lineker in the studio more than makes up for it...advantage BBC

It's not too bad.
Anything would have better than than the BT. & I'm including a coms box full of Kenny Dalglish clones in that.

Big plus is they've not got our name wrong yet.

Camera work is the problem! Focusing on tarky whilst we are pressing with an attack!!

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:20 pm

Although there 's some very dodgy camera editing going on.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:20 pm

Stepping aside from the commentary for a moment, how bad have the BBC camera angles, positioning etc been?

groove · Post by **groove** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:20 pm

I think the camera work is terrible tonight. Missing action while watching replays etc. Very poor

The director however wants sacking. The picture coverage is abysmal.

The director needs to be sacked. This has been shocking. Progressively got worse from amazon, to BT then to this. Terrible.

Dublin has used the word cultured a minimum of five times. Including calling the main commentator cultured

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:41 pm

Talking nonsense because the games been awful.

If I wasnt a Burnley fan I'd have turned it over after 30 minutes

cricketfieldclarets · Post by **cricketfieldclarets** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 7:50 pm

Theres the word cultured again

BabylonClaret · Post by **BabylonClaret** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:02 pm

Commentary is fine. Its maybe a bit Wolves biased but nowhere near the West Ham game.

The coverage has been bloody awful- hey let's do some player cam and manager cam and replays of half arse chances whilst something interesting happens elsewhere.

People moan about Sky often but their quality makes the bbc look like some poor old fella from 1984 with a hand held vcr camera

I agree; as bad as Amazon Prime. Dublin’s problem is that he never shuts up.

If you don’t like it, don’t read it. I don’t know you so I won’t comment on your personal life as I have class, you just want to find fault with people on here. Get a life.

ColneMonkey · Post by **ColneMonkey** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:07 pm

It might be my claret tinted glasses but I felt the commentary and studio input could have all been mistaken for Wolves supporters.

Very positive about anything they did. Not very fussed about anything Burnley did.

Don't get me wrong, Wolves have some very nice players indeed, but the last segment in the studio was almost like the were upset Wolves didn't get all 3 points.

Please explain what part of BBCs coverage you enjoyed. It has been shocking. I have never seen anything that poor.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:10 pm

No problem whatsoever with Guy Mowbray and Dion Dublin, but the camera work showed that the BBC are totally out of practice covering live domestic football.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:11 pm

Commentary was fine for me
The worst pairing are Sky’s Hinchcliffe and Weaver
Hinchcliffe is arrogant and says things like “ he should have scored from there” and never allowing even a top striker to have the occasional miss.
Weaver tells you useless bits of info about 2 players in a team who’s family members live next door to each other
Between them there is never a pause in the commentary

conyoviejo · Post by **conyoviejo** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:11 pm

And they charge us a licence fee for watching their awful coverage of the game.. Missing parts of it all the time.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:12 pm

I’m not usually one who thinks the whole world are against us but the last studio segment was cringeworthy. You’d have thought somebody had died. Lineker’s face signing off...

AlargeClaret · Post by **AlargeClaret** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:12 pm

That was the worst camera work I’ve ever seen , how the hell do they get away it? The director probs more used to directing Crufts or whatever the bbc have left on their sports roster

Don’t blame the cameramen. It’s the director you should be directing your ire at.

Think you're right, is it not the Premier League who supply all the footage with their own team and the individual stations edit it as appropriate?

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Wed Jul 15, 2020 8:17 pm

Yep, the director was terrible, as was the commentary.

I agree. I did say further up the thread that it was the editing that was at fault.
