I can assure you the commentary is still nowhere near as partisan as Pirates commentators, who sounds like they’re going to explode every time pirates have the ball and if the opposition score an excellent try, it sounds like they’re commentating on a funeral.
Sarries 33-13 Bedford at 60 mins. Bedford score length of field try of game which I expect will be another try of the week winner!

As a Doncaster Knight’s supporter for over 50 seasons I would like to disassociate myself from some of the remarks by DonnyKnightsFan in the opening post of this thread. There have been some wonderful matches over the years between the relegated club and various championship clubs and DKF’s remarks are an insult to these clubs. I well remember, for instance, when we lost at Sixways to Worcester in the 8th minute of injury time. And what about Pirates great result a few weeks ago.

I haven’t seen anything that leads me to think the Bedford players were getting smashed, just unfortunately a mini collapse from circa 65 minutes is tarnishing Bedfords efforts a tad.

Totally agree John
And what a game that was, and no ways was that a penalty at 6 ways I was a few yards away and there was no offence, nor were there 8 minutes of stoppage time..... |

A hiding, but a long way from the record score.

There were a few more tries for the Blues for the taking, but ultimately the power and pace was too big.

As were the Richmond players who commentated CC. But I found the Saracens commentators very poor. The reason I suggested not having them is that you would have a standard.

Right, time to hold my hands up and admit a massive error in judgment. What I posted on reflection was wrong and I did not intend to offend any clubs. Having now looked at all of the reports of the game and the reaction to it, it is clear that Bedford did themselves proud today against Saracens and despite the score were competitive for the full 80 minutes. It was inappropriate to say that they shouldn’t have the chance of facing Sarries. The favourite v underdog dynamic is why we love sport. Also for the Bedford players and the players from all the other championship teams, the opportunity of pitting their wits against the likes of Maro Itoje, the Vunipola brothers and Owen Farrell (when fit) is a once-in a lifetime experience. Given all of that, I apologise for my post, it was inappropriate and a massive overreaction.

Of the 3 sets of Commentators i heard on the streams this week the Harbury v Jersey guy(s) were head and shoulders above the others- knowing when to talk and when to stay quiet / follow the action takes a fair bit of practice plus a semblance of impartiality or balance makes it more enjoyable for the majority.

And what a surprise the only championship news article on BBC News sport website - Saracens sweep aside Bedford
Bloody BBC bias

I wonder what they’ll say if Ealing beat Saracens. Saracens suffer from hubris.

One of the main differences between the top Championship clubs and the Premiership relegated team is the dreaded parachute payment. If you gave Donny, Ealing, Pirates etc 5 or 6 million pounds to improve the strong squads they already have they would definitely be able to more than hold their own.
