  Good Guy Barry (@Goodguybarry) reported 4 minutes ago

  @william27504693 @BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer It's not high bar, MON's goalies were poor e.g. Douglas, Hedman etc. Only after Boruc Celtic GK's vastly improved. Gordon brilliant shot stopper, just unfortunate he's garbage at crosses, prone to gaffes & terrible with ball at feet which is vital in modern game.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ben Wadey has ruined this show, Michelle Ryan has been treated appallingly 🤬 Nobody can blame her for quitting, her stories and scripts are terrible. To axe the character permanently is just pure nasty and spiteful. Axe Wadey NOW.. the fans are angry 😤

  The picture quality on fhe @BBCiPlayer app for the world Cup is far better than on the @ITVX app. Proper UHD on the BBC. Poor from itv.

  Wandered into @BBCiPlayer and comedy series Ann Droid. Not said this for an awful long time about a new sitcom...I actually rather liked it. A premise that becomes more plausible every year and Sue Johnson, not a comedienne, an actress who does great comedy. I'll stick with it.

  Watching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Absolutely terrible, bad acting, bit weird and unnecessary story 🙄

  @stvplayeruk It’s a shame your coverage of the World Cup football games is not in UHD 4k. Footage is terrible compared to the great BBC Iplayer UHD 4k coverage of games. @BBCiPlayer

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders is now confirmed Ben Wadley caused a big problem for Michelle Ryan and gave her an ultimatum.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer One of the most disrespectful thing to do, is to wear a Hat indoors, and there are 2 at this party. The one who works in the " 3 stall market ", must Stink as he never takes his off and is so terrible on the show. Absolutely disgusting.

  @GMNonLeague @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Sounds like a major Own goal we was only talking in work about the days when you could watch a game a few hours later without knowing the score.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.

  @BBCiPlayer Why are the Doctor who episodes going from the episode you started from then fine in the middle then go back to the start of that first one, fix it please

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zzzzzz. Awful characters. Can they buzz off now Sharon and son are back please. Surprised Vicki isn’t wearing her black tights under her wedding dress.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews So, in using the license fee for this ****, you’ve just opened yourself up to legal action from people who do not wish to have this drivel forcefed to us. Great work

  Derek Bell (@derek2bell) reported 38 minutes ago

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer A huge number of people on buying a newspaper turn straight to the back page. Sports news is news, the worst thing is how much is excluded. They should do a separate sports news programme - 15 minutes every night - covering all aspects of all sports

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee

  @shellthestig @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So is Oscar….definitely signs with him. Jean has behavioural issues in addition to bipolar. And Bert & Ernie act strangely but they might just be terribly bad actors! Not sure this is necessarily miles off for a Square of people.

  Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported 43 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He's literally in the flash forward so we know he's in it for 6 more months. The flash forward has sucked so much intrigue out of the show and left a sense of dread as we now know we are stuck with the abysmal twins until New year's as well. Terrible idea poorly executed

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Without any doubt, The worst program on Television. And the bbc want the British Tax paying public to pay for this. Outrageous.

  @BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer Ha! 27th August episode - yet another broken item from the ‘wouldn’t trust you with a bag of stones’ amateur antiques program .

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Another ludicrous change of character, from really nasty piece of work to sheepish wimp? Wouldn't happen. And next week, we're supposed to believe that a few school kids throwing beer over him and taking photos is worse for him that juvenile detention was.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Reeks of den watts 2.0 So desperate to relieve the glory days forgetting all the actual character work that went into why max and Stacey worked

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I can understand Eve wanting to get back at Nicola but what has George done to her. He'd be the one who'd be in trouble if it came out he let Eddie die not Nicola.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer When you think this **** can't get any lower, well Bingo it can. I mean we know the Police are clowns in Soap-land, but if they can't work out what is tomato ketchup and blood. we really are screwed. & U expect people 2 pay for a TV licence, next year swing on it.
