BBC at it again

Posted by Brian on 7/7/2025, 12:23 pm

After the annual jolly to Glastonbury where everyone goes on the licence payers money except the office cat, they've now announced Wayne Rooney as a new member of the Match of the Day team on £800k per year. He is not the most charismatic of speakers and mumbles on every interview I've seen. Get the sub-titles ready.

Correct Brian, not a good choice as a commentator, but let’s face it he hasn’t exactly excelled at being a Manager either, still so long as the BBC are given our money they won’t care how they spend it.

Liz, 400 staff at Glastonbury proves that!

Including the paper shufflers, it's been going on for years Jim.

I recall probably 30 years ago, that the BBC had more staff covering the World Snooker Championship at The Crucible, Sheffield, than there were Players!

All up from London, accommodated & fed, at our expense!

For what; 3 camera's that barely move... and a commentator or two...

And 400+ at Glastonbury this year?

And it still goes on......

I don't think he's the brightest light on the Christmas tree, or as my old boss use to say he's not bursting with O-levels.
