Bet you he doesn't make the same mistake in this coverage. I can forgive foreigners referring to us as English (albeit through slightly gritted teeth), but to have a British person, especially any UK professional commentator is unforgivable IMO.

A doddery old mad who is still living in the days of the Raj? That's hardly the whole of the BBC. The commentary is live and unscripted you know. What was the cameraman/director a 5th columnist?

The cameraman just did what he'd done for four hours and flashed to those guys in the crowd. Not a reaction to the commentator at all.

Unless I misheard it but I don't think so. Yep a few times they have mentioned english this or that. The wanks also didnt show Murrays medal ceremony, they really are awful!!!

It's actually relatively classy and cultured. She may have been visiting from the West coast having been attracted by the East coast glamour. You were possibly even related ?

The BBC won't have its own camera crews covering events, they'll be taking the feed from Brazillian TV like everyone else. They would have been completely unaware of what the BBC commentator was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boy seems to be the new star on the block, he believes he will be the first man under 43 seconds. Johnson said he could also dominate the 200m too once Bolt retires...
