The BBC's coverage of the CWG is utterly s*** **** totally omitting the full-bore pairs gold record win by England :flag5: & the Bronze for Scotland :flag6: . So the membership have invented the Barry Buddon Broadcasting Corporation on Facebook to fill the gap.

Find it & like to support you sport.

Couldn't agree more - I'm not impressed with the NRA's FaceySpaceyBook coverage - photos of the English Gold Medal winning fullbore pair this morning, but no mention of the Scottish Bronze winners except for the result yesterday.

It always irritates me how quickly the other British sports men & women are abandoned by UK-wide sporting organisations when the national teams compete individually. On FaceySpaceyBook the NRA is titled The NRA of The U.K., so surely that therefore includes Scotland, Ireland and Wales plus the Channel Islands and IOM.

Not good enough NRA.

I am lost and confused. What the hell has the BBC coverage to do with the NRA?
Somebody explain.

Nothing. DW58 was complaining about the NRA's coverage of the home nations (other than England) on their Facebook page. It's quite simple really!

Correct - exactly my point.

BBBC has made up for the inadequacy of both the BBC and unwittingly the NRA in one go.
