I understand but that’s my best solution. Ave never watched it for years along with all the other shite council telly has to offer!

I don't watch it either but that stunk whether I tuned in or not

 

[Barista]

I could be wrong but I think derby day reports used to feature earlier in the programme and get more than a couple of minutes

They did, that stopped once the visitors started losing all the time.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Dunno, she certainly said after getting battered by Barca the result wasn't unexpected Shouldn't it have been these players had a point to prove against an understengh Sunderland team. Maybes I'm over analysing.

Didn’t we have a point to prove after the Brighton result

 

[Shivafever]

Moles are insectivores, more closely related to shrews and hedgehogs.

I don't get out much...

Very informative, rodents are omnivores, who knew?

Stuck this in. The twats.

Disgusting to see Dawn Thewlis and Luke Edwards gloss over the racial abuse received by Sunderland player Lutsharel Geertruida in the Tyne-Wear derby on Sunday, going so far as to liken it to a poor piece of goal keeping.
This was a shameful incident in the game, and has no place in football or society, yet these two clowns made light of it as though it just part and parcel of the match. This is an absolute disgrace, the pair have shown zero journalistic integrity, and should be deeply ashamed of themselves, and the BBC should be holding them to account.

Absolutely this. If people get off their arses and do something it MAY actually see things change. An email takes 5mins.

I've said for years that they, both NP & BBC/ITV get away with it because they aren't challenged enough.

Edwards turning the racism incident into an attempt at banter is nauseating.

Time constraints...editorial descision...try to give a round up across the region...which is the bigger story...no bias.

Standard response. We need to bombard them with complaints so that the high ups in Salford start to pay attention.

Currently we in a situation where we have mags in senior positions at the Pink Palace on Barracks Road policing the content put out by other mags in editorial positions.

All of whom are of the Entertainers generation, fully indoctrinated in Jawdee Nashun mythology.

Done

As I said in the other thread on this matter Dawn Thewlis showed her hand when she finished the coverage with a sigh and remarking that "we need the international break"

A pathetic response.

I presume he would be writing his own links so this makes it even worse. Surely he would not be ad-libbing on a programme with a tight timeframe and needs to time stuff to the second?

Racism isn’t ’regrettable’. It’s a criminal offence that carries a possible fine or prison sentence.

 

[Morny]

Hardly his first apology around these games is it

I don't really think racism is something to make light of/jokes about cos I've disliked it all me life man

The BBC are the ones who should be apologising. It's their editorial policy and content that was the real problem
Appalling standard to set by the national broadcaster

If Thewlis does in any way set the content and tone then a sacking would be appropriate

He's a bellend, and a comically unprofessional journalist at times, and his phrasing was horrendous.

I do think he was set up to fail mind, by Look North trying to shoe horn the racism into a very brief overview of the game.

The racism part should have been a separate story (more of a lead) and then left the match coverage to Edwards or whoever else.

He was poor but he was set up by terrible editorial decisions by BBC.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

BBC LOOK NORTH..
Do the right thing everybody dump the licence fee..you know it makes sense, you plonkers

Worth every penny marra.

We're all shoulder chipsters.....apparently.

It does make you wonder

 

[Diamond Eyes]

Action has been taken- we’ve beaten them twice and collected the easy 6 points they told us about.

No further action required. Until next season.

Deliberately made by the senior sports editor...iirc one D.Thewlis

The coverage of the game was brief to say the least
Considering that this was the first derby at st James for years
They give more build up and coverage to a non event champions league game and the league cup final reporting went on for days

Deliberately made by the senior sports editor...iirc one D.Thewlis

Do they run credits at the end of the programme to show who editors are?

 

[Gloucester]

Points West is the local BBC down here in Gloucester. They cover Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Yeovil and Cheltenham and seem to support them all equally.

As I said in the other thread on this matter Dawn Thewlis showed her hand when she finished the coverage with a sigh and remarking that "we need the international break"

I’ve been very critical of the coverage, but she didn’t quite say that.

It was “perhaps a good time for an international break I think” on the back of the interview with a dejected Beheadie.

There was no “we”

What were people expecting

Whingers are still going to whinge though Hank.
Can't help themselves

I noted that too
