One for rugby lovers – Sonja McLaughlan
The BBC has strongly condemned the online abuse experienced by reporter Sonja McLaughlan after the live broadcast of Wales’ 40-24 Six Nations win over England in Cardiff.
McLaughlan interviewed England captain Owen Farrell and head coach Eddie Jones, plus Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones, after Saturday’s match.
She said she had been inundated with abusive comments.

I am Welsh (Brave admission – NA) and enjoyed the game immensly but.
Who is this fucking woman and what does she now about Rugby?
She was obviously trying to get Farrel to winge about the ref, but to his credit he was having none of it.
Her general questioning and demeanour was crass and insentitive following a crucial defeat for England.
Why, in the name of wokedom does the BBC continue to use innapropriate commentators? They could have ticked all the boxes by getting Jeremy Guscott in drag.

If you are in a job that you are incapable of doing please expect to be replaced. It seems to me that this person does not meet the required standards of knowledge and impartiality.

She was blatantly trying to get a “gotcha” moment from England captain Farrell regarding the two poor refereeing decisions, more than likely knowing full well that the laws of rugby explicitly prohibit the captain and coach from criticising the referees performance post-match.
If she was unaware of that rule then she should not be performing post-match interviews at such an elite level of professional sport such as Rugby Union.

These unwanted split arse pundits want to play at being Mrs Expert Opinion, but if someone disagrees with them they cry, cancel their social media and say they’re being bullied
Fuck off.
Male pundits take shite all the time if they say controversial shite. That’s what they’re their for. It comes with the territory.
Simply put, if you disagree with just one thing one of these bikes say, you’re a sexist.
What a load of shite.
If you can’t handle someone disagreeing with your opinion, don’t get a job giving your opinions on national fucking television then, you silly mares.

‘That’s what they’re there for’
Stupid cunt.

Wimmin commenting on sport…..NO. Put the kettle on luv and get the digestive out.
20
I puked blood when I heard about this and her crying on twitter (filmed of course for maximum misandry). This fuelled the White Knights to come riding in to town to defend said woman. Now why women are commentating on any mens professional sport is beyond most of us.
A narcissistic, attention seeking wh-ore. In EXACTLY the same vein or vane as Piers Fortescue Melchett Felchworthy Morgan. The fucking big girls blouse flouncing off the morning telly program.

I was fucking delighted the welsh beat England, why? Half of the England team down on one knee for St George of fentanyl – fucking disgrace. So far they are the only team in the six nation to engage in this virtue-signalling cuntery, I hope they get the wooden spoon this year. Cunts

Yes me too. knee bending fairies.
19
100% agree. Think about the game, not radical politics – we might get to do something special then!
10
I didn’t watch it. Wtf are the taking a knee? Cowardly cunts. Any fuck doing this instantly gets me hoping they lose. Fuckwits.
12
The irony is that, Farrel apart, they are by and large public school hoorays. And that includes the black players. Posh boys virtue signalling.

Taking the knee😳
Well done Wales👍👍👍👍👍

Was great when England played the Italians, I don’t think any of them took the knee, they weren’t getting involved with that bollocks.

Cocks don’t suck themselves. Stop trying a mans job and go back to what your good at. Cunt

Vastly overpaid clueless cunt.
My heart bleeds for your awful plight.
Now Fuck Off.

To be fair, Owen Farrell is not the easiest subject to interview. Nor is he a great tactician or on-field leader.
England have been really poor this season and it doesn’t do their reputation much good if the captain is rude and taciturn. Whoever the interviewer is.
I have to agree however that the trend towards more women commentators in men’s sport is annoying. What do they add apart from a tick in the diversity box? Even if a woman has played for her country at rugby, football, cricket et al it hardly qualifies her to analyse a really top quality match.
After all most male youth teams could easily beat the best women’s team. But would we have a youth team coach commenting on a full international or premiership game?
Of course not.
13
Well at least she used the famous female trump card in reply to the online criticism of her unfair biased interviews…
“I am sitting in my car crying now, I hope you’re happy”
11
Not in the drivers seat I hope.

Top post!!!
Excellent fellow😂😂😂

Off topic but has anyone else seen that Ian Wright/Oprah Winfrey picture?

Yes it’s a dead ringer General.

I used to watch a very occasional footie or rugger game but I’ve stopped altogether. What with wokedom presenters, wimmin commentators and the fucking knee, fuck it. Most sport is fucked, played by ponces. I forgot about uber cunt Gary Linekunt.

Have you pussy to serve up? F.F.S WOMEN!!!!

There is a simple moral here – Do NOT let women anywhere near a man’s game (I include football). The only place for them is back in the pavilion organising the dinners afterwards!

Shows you how progressive the Septics are, rounders and basketball now played by blokes.

“Abuse of public figures or members of the media on social media or anywhere else is not acceptable.”
the bbc abuse the population everyday, so they are not best placed to to argue this and can fuck right off and take all their no mark celebrities with them
12
This Woman knows nothing about rugby.
7
Criticism is not abuse. Bloody crybabies…

I ended my support for the England wokeby team when they took a knee.
Sir Fiddler would sort these buggers out!
On other news I have planted my onions.

“Trans” men would be better. They are already better at ” womens” sport. Wheres “Kellie” Maloney on Rugby?

I remember when the BBC were able to offer live Golf with Henry Longhurst, Peter Alliss and Steve Ryder, live Cricket with Richie Benaud and John Arlott, live Formula 1 with Murray Walker, James Hunt and Martin Brundle, live Boxing with Harry Carpenter, live Athletics with David Vine, Ron Pickering and Brendan Foster, live Football with David Coleman and Barry Davies, live Tennis with Dan Maskell, live Rugby with Bill McLaren, live Horse racing with a Peter O’Sullevan, and live Darts with Sid Waddell.
Excellent commentators who were mature had served long apprenticeships over many years, were passionate about the sport they commentated on, and were able to use their experience by adding technical advice to proceedings. Not just stating the obvious which most viewers can see for themselves.
Barring a few minor exceptions the BBC have lost the whole fucking lot, instead offering such cheap delights as dancing, baking cakes, talent shows and quizzes.
The BBC is a pale shadow of what it once was regarding sport, and that extends to its commentators.
28
I agree Willie.
The modern day commentators are mostly awful.
Darren bastard Fletcher and Steve fucking McManaman on BT Sport are the absolute very worst. Pair of bland, waffling, woke fucking media stooges.
Barry Davies, Ted Lowe and Sid Waddell were among the best ever for me.

Don’t get me started on Micheal cunting Owen on BT…

A little evidence of said abuse wouldn’t go amiss, just a few examples. That way people could make a judgment as to whether it was purely sexist or based on lack of professionalism on her part.
Nice lesson for the BBC either way, because it shows that it’s not just non university educated, working class football watching scum who abuse female pundits. They appear to be universally unacceptable to sports viewers in general.
Now iron my shirt you fucking wizened old hag!

Hey NA! I’m Welsh too. We’re not all tainted by the knobochock-encrusted brush of The Dickford.
As for Red Sonja – if you don’t like words on a screen, get off the media pot love cause you’re in the wrong fucking game and then some.

I watched that excuse of an ‘interview’ and McLaughlin came over as a complete harpie desperately trying to goad Farrell into slagging off the Ref; bombarding him with provocative questions before he could even answer the previous one. By which she thus undermined herself. She would never have copped ‘social media abuse’ had she conducted the interview properly.
As Willie Stroker has so brilliantly explained above, the BBC Sports Dept is now virtually unwatchable; very little decent sport and what little remains is rammed full of virtue signalling as they merrily box tick their way into irrelevance. Even the 6N is going (in whole or part) to Sky next season.
As for the Taking The Knee ceremony; whilst it was clear that several England players did so, the cameras filmed it from behind and 100 yds away deliberately to censor who the individual players in question were. Presumably to ensure they didn’t get Twattered that night.
But all is not lost….any day that Piers “Three Chins” Morgan gets the sack is one to savour. Rejoice Rejoice 👏

But Piers got sacked for the wrong thing! I mean he was RIGHT about Cringe and Ginge, but has been insufferable about the Cabinet.

That Jacqui Scott is the same on Match of the day. She am soundin’ like she am rappin’ innit blud so is obviously a go to expert on mens football for those BBC twats.

Imagine waking up from four years in a coma.
Put the football on nurse.
What the fuck?

Women commentating on men’s sports. Fair enough.
It should be equally fair for men to commentate on women’s sports.
2
P.s. I forgot to mention, whom is going to be commentating on the transformers sports?

Don’t think women should be let anywhere near men’s sport.
