This 'folding arms' nonsense on the pre-match graphics...

[Bry Nylon]

Which TV creative thought THAT would ever be a good idea? Looks as camp as Christmas.

Might as well have got the players to dress up as construction workers, cowboys, police motorcyclists and red indians.

Needs a poll really. Are you a right hand over or under?

It's the looking at the floor then raising their heads looking all tough that makes me laugh.

TV company's trying to make them look tough and heroic but just making them look like they're pulling blokes in the Blue Oyster Club

I hate it on the BBC, when the players 'walk' into the studio, caught me out a couple of times.

It always looks like they've been outside listening to the pundits slagging them off, and have had enough. "Something to say, Lawro?"

Its the 3 or 4 body rolls after any kind of foul from ALL the south american teams that is peeing me off, it seems most of the refs are happy for it to continue. Thought this kind of simulation was a yellow card now??

 

[Meade's Ball]

I agree. I'd rather they appeared with a sense of complete oh-my-god-this-is-the-best-thing-ever-ness, just as i would if i were there. A bit like:

They do it in F1 too - looks ridiculous.

I'd like to see a double teapot followed by a pelvic thrust.

But it's progress innit? Some fink fresh and creative

Yes, just how do these goons who think goal music, hello wembley DJ type announcers, ball designers (an oxymoron if ever here were) etc manage to get such influential jobs when all they do is piss the other 99 fans in every 100 off?!

In my government, these persons would simply be shot. Vote for Portlock Parliament next May. I'd nip it in the bud

and the rugby, but those guys are hard, so it looks a lot less stupid.

edit: except the half backs, the scrum half and the fly half are fairies.

right hand over.....who on earth uses their left over?

 

[vegster]

Sad and pointless, I much prefer a simple photo of each player.

I would vote for you, but fear you'd run out of bullets once you really got started ....

I can't be alone in hoping they'll be Richard Reynolds' half time guests when Rotherham come to the Amex next season. That would be truly magnificent.

Didn't the shorter chuckle brother get prosecuted for having sex in a lay-by with some other guys mrs a few years ago? or did i just imagine it(in one of my many sordid dreams). It somewhat ruined the childrens entertainer image.

Look down, fold arms, look up.......that must have been a tester for a few of them!

I haven't a clue, but, if true, please god let him have said "To me", when he picked her up, followed by "To you" when he dropped her off safely back to her husband.
