Why risk anything when you can sit on the fence, spout a load of meaningless cliches, pretend to be mr nice guy and collect their tax funded pay cheque. Give me honest opinion please whether its criticism or praise. As you can see my lowly opinion of the BBC's output is unprintable. Their output across the board from news to comedy to new dramas to everything, considering the enormity of their funding, is a national disgrace. Everythibg is a formulaic box ticking execise

When is the last time they created anything original? Their only popular shows are Doctor who and strictly, shows created over 50 years ago....Theyve created almost nothing truly new or original since the 70s...Their highest viewing over Christmas was the queens speech? how pathetic. No doubt we will now get wall to wall coverage of prince harrys romance of the century for the next decade....I watched their news yesterday the 4th main story was about a woman who was called honey by virgin trains....who the heck decides thats a headline story? Have they ever considered investing their millions into writers rather than talentless presenters reading from dummy cards? rant over lol

That's a bit OTT - have you been overdosing on the Daily Mail recently? 

Maybe, go and lie down in a dark room for an hour or two...

Roll on the time when we can only watch Fox News (not)!

lol dont worry it, its good to have a rant now and again lol

Funnily enough, he never mentioned the disallowed Cawdor try or the Ellis Jenkins try that wasn’t grounded.

To be fair to Danny Wilson his comments were correct. He said that the Blues should have won the game and it wasn't the refs fault that they lost. With regard to the Cubby incident he even went as far as to say that he didn't want to take anything away from Cubby who had a marvellous game but he felt it could have been a penalty and yellow card. He is quite correct it should have been a yellow and penalty. Can't see anything wrong in his comments to be honest.

When I think of the Cubby turnover, I think back to days  such as Scarlets v Toulon a few years ago when Steffon Armitage ruled the breakdown illegally, almost winking at the ref as he got away with what others would be penalised for. We all accepted it as this was Toulon and of course we had been conditioned to believe the better teams get away with things like this.    

Fact is, Cubby plays on the edge and if we want to win trophies we need him there on the edge.

Totally agree & so it seems does Danny Wilson. In no way did he say anything in the interview which I read which was outrageously one eyed. He may have over exaggerated their dominance but he laid the blame fairly & squarely on his teams lack of finishing accuracy. As for Cubby he is priceless & now that I see that Francois Louw is missing next Friday he could well be our match winner again.

john Jeffrey of Scotland was offside so often against us he's got 6 welsh caps to go with his Scottish ones.

Well both incidents were the subject of clear refereeing decisions so why comment? He's hardly likely to say that they were lucky in both instances. That would be expecting too much Aber even for a decent egg like DannyWink
