Anyone hear Alan Green's commentary on 5 Live for the barcodes game?

I'm informed he spent the entire first half calling Ronnie a cheat and suggesting Fergie should be put on a leash. Nice to see the license fee I'm being forced to pay is being spent on bile filled propaganda against my club.

Alan Green is a @#%&!. nft.

I see their web site (the beeb) was advertising some complaints procedure or a 'let us know what you think' page - perhaps it needs some visits

There's no point, they just ignore it. I suggest United fans boycott payment of the license fee 'til he's sacked.

If you can't be arsed complaining to the BBC, don't come complaining on here. Sometimes it seems that you need people like Alan Greene so you can have a good whinge.

I'd love to knock his teeth out.

I have complained to the BBC, previously and on this occasion. I fail to see why a Man United fan such as myself should be stopped from complaining on a Man United fan site about such stuff. Then again you think anything Green says is Fergies fault as you explained last toime Green did something like this.

I have repeatedly complained about Alan Green, at first I got a couple of emails thanking me for my feedback but now I get nothing. Maybe if enough people swore on his 606 show there might be a stir.

i heard the last 10 minutes of the first half on 5 live

green slagged ronaldo for diving, said he didnt rate ferdinand , and was as abu as i have ever heard him

No, what we complain about is that we pay his wages and have no choice about it.

Where he commentating on a commercial station, then by not tuning tinto that station, listerner figures would drop, and this would effect advertising revenue & possibly force a change in his attitude.

With the BBC however, as they already have your licence fee and will do so every year, unless you want to risk a criminal prosecution, Green will continue to do what he does. And remember, commerical TV & radio are most welcome to show bias, they have to satisfy the part of the audience their advertisers target. But the BBC is supposed to maintain impariality - it is one of the core parts of its existence.
I cannot choose to boycott the BBC, they get my money regardless.

You know that blatant penalty we didn't get when he was tripped in the area. Then.

Probably thought he dived for that challenge in the box in the first half - those tend to go either way.

How on earth Greene can't rate Ferdinand is beyond me....

supposedly "dived" in the first half in the box down at the scoreboard end/k stand

motd highlights clearly showed a barcodes ddefender leaving his leg out


one thing i` have noticed if that liverpool have a poor result and united are playing later that weekend, greens commentary is even more vitriolic

of course he will deny this, but its plain to see

Green supports Liverpool.
Liverpool hate us.
They know we hate them.
They're always trying to compete with us.
They know they're miles away from us.
They think we're shit, but we're Champions.
Ronaldo scores loads of goals.
We're hot favourite to retain our crown.

He is bound to be bias, what I don't get is, why is he allowed to commentate on ours, or any games 'cos he clearly isn't neutral.

Thank you for your e-mail regarding '5 live Sport', broadcast on 12
January.

I understand you have concerns about the credibility and impartiality
of Alan Green during his commentary on the Manchester United/Newcastle
United game.

BBC football commentators are experts on their sport and are paid to
give their fair and unbiased opinions. Alan Green is one member of our
extensive football team. Football, being football means that the team
don't necessarily agree on every issue regarding the game. Part of the joy
of football is its subjective nature, illustrated three times a week
on Five Lives 606. Alan's views are exactly that. His views.

Alan is well known as an opinionated and acerbic football presenter and
commentator, who has won a number of industry awards. However those
opinions are regularly and robustly challenged by football fans every
week on 606. We always aim to report in an impartial way but our experts
are expected to give their views, to avoid bland broadcasting and to
better inform the audience.

In the past Alan has praised Manchester United greatly, not least last
season when he stated that that they were the best team in England and
thoroughly deserved to win the Premier League title.

I would like to assure you that we have registered your comments on our
audience log. This is the internal report of audience feedback which
we compile daily for all programme makers and commissioning executives
within the BBC, and also their senior management. It ensures that your
points, and all other comments we receive, are circulated and considered
across the BBC.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact us.



PFFFFT
On this response I doubt if anybody can believe anything you hear see on the BBC any more.Its full of second rate wallies.
