The BBC come under fire for not pick Rio Ferdinand’s close friend for their Euro 2025 coverage as the broadcaster is prompted to ‘prosper upward’…
Here come the daughters…
England’s ladies won Euro 2025 on Sunday. It was f***ing vibrant. It’s observances fascinating to surf through wall finish-to-wall finish coverage throughout the football media on Monday yet Mediawatch cannot help yet alert that there’s a motif: Men.
Two of the top 5 stories on Mirror football on Monday morning – along with the now-ubiquitous ‘inside the parties’ content amassed from Instagram – are based on remarks from man consultants. Offered that what’s more explained than England’s ladies? Men speaking about England’s ladies, of course.
‘Rio Ferdinand slams BBC over coverage of England vs Spain Euro 2025 Final’ screams a Mirror headline that is resembled throughout the net with GB Description – never ever before purposefully underselling their disdain for a information broadcaster – choosing for ‘Rio Ferdinand telephone dubs out BBC for England and Spain Euro 2025 final resolution’ and the Share going for ‘BBC slammed for England vs Spain Euro 2025 final coverage as Individual Utd icon hits out’.
‘Bombarded’, ‘hits out’, ‘telephone dubs out’…there’s some significantly ascertained words from one significantly short tweet…
How’s @fara_williams47 not on the @BBCSport coverage 😱😱😱

By the by, listed under’s Fara Williams at the final. And she shows up okay truly; she doesn’t filter advice she requires saving by Rio…

What’s missing from all the coverage – and there’s a edifice – of what Ferdinand asserted about the BBC is that he is an ‘ambassador and educator’ for New Era International Sporting openings Taking care of, which fourthly takes location to stand for Fara Williams.
So what is greedily marketed as Ferdinand ‘slamming’ the BBC is literally purely a man sifting for attention for himself and a co-employee. And it truly should not detract from England’s real twin European winners.
Speaking of which…
‘Sarina Wiegman validates Ian Wright wrong in Euro 2025 Final after ‘immense oversight” – Mirror.
Reckon he’ll understandably cope, what with being entirely f***ing chuffed that England won and that.
Unanimously grown upward
Leaning correct into an anti-BBC program, the Everyday Telegraph mulled the TV offerings and ended: ‘ITV overtaken the BBC, yet all TV coverage of ladies’s football requires to prosper upward.’
The troublemaker? That’s not literally what the write-upward says.
It says, and we proposal: ‘Womans’s football is, as yet, still portion elite underscoring off activity and portion feelgood story and social project and the coverage teaches that yet it will be truly unforgettable to surf through if there’s space for a Roy Keane or Alan Hansen kind in a few years as the TV coverage matures.’
‘It will be truly unforgettable to surf through if there’s space for a Roy Keane or Alan Hansen kind in a few years’ is no location close to ‘all TV coverage of ladies’s football requires to prosper upward’, yet why make it feasible for that stand in the means of the latest of super numerous anti-BBC headlines. We’re purely upset no one slammed the BBC coverage on the trans individuals…
Monetary university task
Elsewhere, there’s a hell of most coverage of the ‘resolution’ not to award us all a monetary university vacation for England’s profitability, which is not literally a ‘resolution’ at all as there is literally most clearly no criterion.
There was no monetary university vacation in 1966 as freely as England’s males won the Planet Mug, none in 2022 as freely as England’s ladies last won the Euros and none for any kind of other underscoring off profitability.
Evidently, the just ‘added’ monetary university holidays this century have been for a royal wedding party, jubilees, a funeral service and a investiture.
‘No10 confirms if there will be monetary university vacation for Euros win after Lionesses skyrocketed to profitability with penalty heroics’ – says The Sunlight, which is a super convoluted means of dictum there will be no monetary university vacation.
‘England Lionesses LIVE: Disciples imparted urgent last purchase as monetary university vacation resolution mirrored’ says the Share, who are boldly trying to fill a LIVE blog of an ‘occasion’ which is basically some ladies waking upward with a hangover and going residence.
As for the ‘urgent last purchase’, it basically boils down to supporters being urged not to meet them at the airport. Which will presumably be disregarded and lead listed under once more…
You are what you shortchange
‘Introduced: Hannah Hampton’s penalty shoot-out ‘shortchange sheet’ – that she recorded to her ARM! How Lionesses goalkeeper’s homework guided her side triumph over Spain’ – MailOnline.
‘Eagle-leered supporters vacated upset at wherein England caretaker Hannah Hampton retained her penalty ‘shortchange sheet’ in yesteryear fascinating win’ – The Sunlight.
It was literally on the telly, mans.
Oh and it’s not ‘infidelity’.
