-
Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed
-
Shaun Berry (@shauntberry) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!
-
Villanmike (@villanmike73) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems! Moan about anything because you believe the BBC is an easy target. Honestly

@TheMediaAvenger (@ThomasF24943789) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The worst thing they can do is serve RAW CHICKEN

Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders
-
Edj (@stpejo) reported@StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Pretending not to be part of the problem means you will never be part of the solution. Spending Friday night in RVH ED in excruciating pain along with 180 or so other people like me. To talk to my GP meant waiting until Monday after Thursday’s request for help. My GP doesn’t like to take messages. “What can you do as my GP to help?” the receptionist told me.

Ryan (@ryanpr77) reported@leedsrhinos @TheChallengeCup @BBCiPlayer Quality line up, just missing Croft but Brown will do a job
-
Drunken Groundhopper (@DGroundhopper) reported@liam_barnett @BBCiPlayer Yeh im with you on this, cut the fighting out and we have a safe environment, but unfortunately people see the ultra culture as the problem, I know lots of folk that hate what they do, like I say, cut the trouble out and it'll ve fantastic
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.
-
Wheeled Warrior (@WarriorWheeled) reported@PaulaRossi47 @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer I will trade with you Paula…. You can take my 24/7 pain, my inability to walk, my fatigue and my other issues all whilst working about 50 hours a week and living on about 3hrs sleep a night. Be no problem for you will it??
-
Jamie_d (@jamied28) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer If the fans didn’t enter the pitch there’s no trouble simple as that. As usual one team is playing the victim card
-
Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work
-
Christian Edwards (@smile_out39443) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
Claire Duffett (@duffett_claire) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Was going to say they spelt it phonetically but that doesn’t work either
-
Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported@BBCiPlayer could you please stop including the result in the headline of the Olympics segments on iPlayer? There is little point in watching after work when you spoil it. Please stop doing this urgently. It’s bad enough the way you edit the segments. Stop spoiling the events.
-
Kevinthegerbil (@Gerbiltime) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Who is the woman screeching throughout the Arsenal match? It’s not a commentary, it’s a string of tired cliches she thinks of she screeches loudly enough, she’ll sound convincing. She’s awful.
-
Welsh Women's Rugby🏴 (@waleswomenrugby) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer Please fix the stream 😭
-
Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense
-
SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported@DGroundhopper @BBCiPlayer @BlairMcNally1 I think what you and I experienced in Berlin is fine, because it’s organised, because you know it’s going to happen and if you want to get away from it, you can. The issue over here is people letting them off incorrectly, unorganised and occasionally in enclosed environments.
-
Ronan Kelly (@RonanGKelly) reported@bbcnipress @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer I have no problem with this new series being promoted. However, it is grossly unfair that most independent productions don’t get the same level of promotion either online or on-air. So why they don’t speak out? Well, it’s probably because they fear the consequences of doing so.
-
Kim Frinton (@drowsyfire) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Oh lord, help us. Smug, sanctimonious wokery incoming.
-
Dave (@achetcase) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Turning off again now. Can not stand this stats and club history fanatic who just doesn’t commentate on the actual game. Worst football commentator I’ve ever heard.
-
The Men's Advisory Project (@MensAdvisoryP) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer This is why MAP or Women's Aid provide time & support whilst a victim thinks through their options. We support them with examining risk and making safety plans and work together to see how to leave safely. For so many, leaving or ending the relationship is the most dangerous time
