    Tim Davie, currently Director General of the BBC and ex chairman of Fulham Conservative party or something of the sort.


    What he thinks of the licence payer's.

    ‘Truly amazing what we’re pulling off’ in forcing people to pay BBC licence fee, says Tim Davie

    'That most households are pretty happy paying a licence being a forced payment. It's amazing what we're pulling off.'

    Bit of an unfortunate pen by the Palace lad, he's stuck a leg out and rather than quickly pulling it back and maybe getting away with it he's slipped slightly and it looks like he just can't get enough of fouling the guy.

    At least we can see the games. I remember going to watch Sunderland at Southend when it was nil nil at half time and the fog rolled in. We saw nothing in the second half. It ended 2 nil to Sunderland but no idea what the goals were like other than one was a pen

    Tell you what, they may have stumbled on something here. 20 minutes of goals, no commentators talking ****e, no half arsed pundits telling us what we've just seen.

    Motd is stale. Back in the day it was the only place to see the goals after the club, now,, most people have seen them all by half 5.

    The BBC football coverage today was replaced with Bargain Hunt ...

    ... hopefully some BBC staffer's rhyming slang dig at the Director General who messed things up so badly <laugh>

    It's a shame there wasn't this solidarity and voting with feet during the free holiday all the pundits got at the world cup.
