@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

@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show

@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system

@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

@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer I know it’s for a good cause but this was just terrible I don’t think I laughed once it was just painfully bad.

@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.

Why has @BBCiPlayer gone from being the best to worst platform for tv?!! Your programmes & indexing & available prog’s are out of date & rubbish!! @TheRepairShop new series live on tv but you can’t watch on iPlayer - that’s just one example. Come on, where’s my licence fee going?

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Phil took a massive risk in calling in a favour for Mark which landed Mark in debt in the first place so I can't see Phil helping Mark again especially when he's got Lexi and Nigel to think about. Don't think Sharon would want to help Mark either if she knew.

@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

Sir Brian of Ipswich
(@brianofipswich) reported
@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.

@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only

@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.

Approaching 24 hours outage, now, @BBCiPlayer , with a @SamsungUK TV that won't load beyond the BBC menu system. This is rendering the BBC licence fee we pay subject to challenge on a non delivery of service basis. It seems Samsung are pivoting to a pay for upgrade model? 🤮.

@ITVX fancy getting the Ireland v Scotland 6 nations match up on replay or something so folk can watch it that couldn’t see it live? Don’t have these issues with @BBCiPlayer when they show the matches. Just saying.

@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Easy. Cut taxation on all food produce at base lvl. Cut taxation on all fuels duty by 25-50%, this will cut costs and crash inflation. By reducing the first two, it’ll offset the third.

@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future

@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.
