    Infuriating commentary.

    World Athletics Championships tonight……

    Listening to Steve Cram constantly say “Beatrix” rather than the athletes actual name of Beatrice, constantly correct himself and then do it all over again.

    F u c k I n g irritating to listen to and totally unprofessional as well.

    And who is the complete idiot interviewing athletes after they’ve competed….,..brain dead airhead.

    Gabby Logan……can someone tell to stop interrupting as soon as she’s asked a f king question.

    And why does she dress like a cake decoration?

    Talk about dumbing down on the BBC, it gets worse and worse.

    The extremely scruffy bloke on Eurosport was terrible, too. Brendan Foster was a truly awful commentator. Just because people were good at their sport does not make them good commentators.

    Brendan Foster spike like he’d got a broken jaw or a tennis ball in his mouth.

    Cram was abysmal, pronounced her name wrong, then wrong again, then wrong again.

    F u c k sake……..idiot.

    It’s not just commentators, the BBC sports writers on its website are awful; have any of them taken GCSE or O level English? Such ignorance by the BBC sets an awful tone for everyone. Surely, a good command of spoken and written English should be a prerequisite for employment with all broadcasters and the media in general?

    Git to say I really enjoyed the World Athletics last week. Michael Johnson is the best pundit by a country mile - always liked his insights, commentary and relaxed manner. Jessica Ennis is not bad but has to be coaxed into discussions. Denise Lewis looks great but tends to be too interruptive.

    Some of the post-event interviews just with an exhaustive athlete have not been great …. Not surprising given the circumstance.
