  What on earth possessed you to have two Irish commentators for the semi-final game between France and England? Their bias was obvious from the outset and became increasingly intense at the game progessed. In their comments about the English victory,they were downright insulting, displaying a level of ignorance and national prejudice I have never before encountered in over sixty years of playing a watching sport. Then, to cap it all,they introduced another voice to support their cause - an Aussie who, without further analysis, agreed with everything - Good on Yer Mate!
