Btw, here is the reply I got back to my complaint.
Make of it what you will, although cc may well have nailed it.

Dear Mr Morris

Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Five Live Sport at the World Cup'
coverage of Trinidad and Tobago v England on 15 June.

I understand that you were unhappy about aspects of Alan Green's
commentary and felt that references made to the Japanese officials and
Nuremburg and the issue of supporting England were particularly
inappropriate.

We receive many letters which praise the quality of our commentaries,
although we do not expect every individual commentator's style to meet
with the approval of all listeners and viewers. Barbara Slater, the
BBC's Head of General Sports, replies:

"BBC Sport regularly receives both positive and negative feedback about
individual commentators and presenters used in our programmes. We do
pro-actively research viewer opinions about our presentation teams as
well as monitoring complaints. If we receive only negative reaction and
feedback then we would certainly look to address this.

We do appreciate that not everyone will agree with our choice of
presenter or commentator and we find that certain individuals divide opinion;
for example where one person will disagree with our choice of
commentator another will contact us with positive comments."

Please be assured that the strength of your concerns about Alan Green's
commentary on 15 June has been registered on our daily log for the
attention of the Five Live Sport team and BBC Senior Management.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

Regards

Rory Egan

Youre gonna get in trouble for doing the lineups!!

Portugal game was pretty good but I feel for you cause your WC schedule is absolutely insane.

Chisanga · 06-21-2006, 03:11 PM

Not as good as Sdpm I know

Chisanga · 06-21-2006, 03:12 PM

LOL sorry Sdpm thought you weren't here

C&P or not you do a great job

bababui · 06-21-2006, 03:13 PM

I believe Mr Egan will be filing your email away in the circular file cabinet.

bababui · 06-21-2006, 03:15 PM

Watch for Carlos Tevez in this match...he might be the best player in the world no one east of the Americas knows about.

I read that letter as "While you may care that we employed a racist, bigoted a-hole Mr. Morris, we at 5 Live do not. Thank you and sod off

"

I'm not surprised tbh. I don't know why I bothered to complain, as I knew that would be the case at the time.

Oh well, at least Alan Green hasn't said anything bad since then I suppose.

see what do I know !!

When England plays at their best, they are pretty elite. But the thing is, they can't even play half of their best for 90 minutes. Terribly inconsistent within a single match.

Its important to complain if you feel you must because it takes a preponderence of opinion to sway a large organization. Good job!
