Thick as a plank AND the worst interviewer in the entire world. Why do the BBC bother?

imlach

The Sunday Times today has a whole page in the MAIN section criticising the dumbing down of the BBC coverage...

ie, questions posed by the likes of Gunnell such as "so how do you feel to have won the gold medal".

Err, I think we can guess the answer, therefore pointless question.

I thought she'd left Man U and signed for Villareall?

My Mum sat next to her one year - at the Licenced Victuallers Association meal...

My Mum is not known for being subtle..."couldn't stand the woman" & "way too far up her own ****"

These are quotes... my Mum is great

Sally also looks dog rough during all the interviews she does. Sharon Davies on the other hand looks really good these days.

Sharon Davies must be the only person in Athens to be feeling cold

Yep. Derek Redman. What an idiot he was, eh?

BBC sport 'commentators' love-in. It's been going on for years and should stop. Between them they effectively ruin the presentation of athletics on the BBC.

A bunch of sycophantic ex no-hopers lording it up on the license fee payers' gravy train.

...apart from that, it's great.

Sally is great for one reason. She has given her name to a "less than satisfactory" golf shot. You know the one when you hit it and it bounces along the ground, but goes for a long way. Thats called a "Sally Gunnell" - a bit ugly but a good runner.

Lol.

Its the bloke who commentates on the rowing that gets me, he sounds as though he won't make to the end of the race without a total collapse.

Just can't stand the way she can interview someone and ALWAYS has to bring up some sort of negative comment about their performance even if they completely destroyed the field! Can't stand the woman!

Michael Johnson and Colin Jackson are class - sensible commentary, credit were credit's due but don't try to big-up their own (considerable) achievements in the process.

Bajie

Problem with Michael Johnson, Colin Jackson and Sir Stephen Redgrave is they are constantly reminded of their achievements and as a consequence always have to refer to them.
I never get the impression they are trying to big themselves up though to be honest.
During the 100m finals yesterday they were full of praise for Gatlin who surprised everyone by winning.
Sally Gunnels questions are a bit amateur.
Sharon Davies ... a class act let down by her sport and her husband. Quality lady.

Sally Gunnell (when she had long curly hair) looked just like a male pornstar that used to be on "Television X - The Fantasy Channel".

Gally Sunnell. lol

I was in a car dealership years ago when Davis & Redman walked in. He was great, she on the other hand had/has such a high opinion of herself. Ruined the image I had of her and I can understand Redman going somewhere else, if only to get away from the ego and moaning.

Bajie

Now that's a real shame
