    @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

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That gym moment of watching a terrible actor trying to look smart felt like eastenders hitting new depths but then came the break in scene 😣 Go to any amateur group & you'll find way better actors. Even when he has good lines he just wastes them 🤢

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.

    @FootyAccums They're hiding it behind a paywall because they know everyone will see how much better the FA Cup final on BBC iPlayer UHD HDR HLG looks. It completely embarrasses the TNT Ultimate feed. The drop-off in quality since BT Sport left is an absolute joke. @BBCiPlayer @tntsports

    @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Right.. I don’t recall, I can’t remember, I wasn’t aware, I didn’t spend much time in my kitchen, I never visited my mother in law, I never checked the funds despite warnings of issues, I never suspected Peter blah blah.. I know nothing!

    @_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.
